I can see why this ket you up. I am excited to see such bold specs coming out. Let's hope it is not priced too high and the cripple hammer is just a small rock hammer. Looking forward to see more.
Those who buy a 1 series are those who need the speed, the buffer, and the battleship construction. They also need the BIG body to balance the BIG lenses that they almost always use. This would have little effect on 1DX III sales.If it would have say 6k30p instead of 8k30p RAW, it would have got me thinking... But hey, even the 1dx mkIII can't output this so why should Canon release something like this? Of course if this is close to truth, they would destroy all comptetition, but doing so they would also destroy their own 1dx MkIII, except for those who absolutely need the extra speed and buffer.
I can tell you where nobody whines about two card slots... the forums for Canon's competitors who have been putting two card slots in their mirrorless bodies for a long time.Cannon should make a card for you guys with zero slots since you obviously don’t think your pictures are worth preserving.
Btw. Whining about other people whining is still just whining.
And the mentioned mpixel/fps combinations. These are above 1DxIV (yes IV) level!I could believe everything...
...except the 4k120fps.

It generally picks the closer eye (I half press the shutter button). When it isn't on the eye I want I release my half press and then half press again. Most of the time, this works for me.How do you get eye-AF to stay on the eye YOU want it on? Mine always jumps from eye to eye, and at f/2.2 and wider, that's frustrating. I gave up on it, even with all the latest fw updates...

So is the newest M.And the mentioned mpixel/fps combinations. These are above 1DxIV (yes IV) level!![]()
There is nothing equivalent about this rumored camera and the 5D series. If this rumor is real, the camera body slams the 5D series. Body slams it, guts it, and then eats it... you know what happens after that.This camera's fps is too quick and the MP count being lower than the 5D S makes me think that this is more of 5D mirrorless equivalent, than a 5D S mirrorless equivalent.
Disagree. Not everyone slinging around a 1-series camera is some ball turret gunning sports sideline photog or Nat Geo wildlifer who needs a built-for-war ruggedized instrument.
Yes 5DsR used Dual Digic 6 but 1DxII used dual Digic 6+ (and yet a 3rd lower capacity one for metering) . The 1 series body was also the one with more processing power (or Mpixels/sec if you will)
Steal is a pejorative word. I would rather think Canon might be directing the business toward the RF mount. Remember that in many ways, the 1DX III is just the last, biggest, meanest dinosaur (at least if you believe the mirrorless hype). The 1DX III exists because Canon is very careful to not offend their professional photographer customers and their huge investment in EF glass. For all the rest of us, they WANT us to buy into RF and get hooked on the cool RF glass they have introduced. Remember, the money is in the glass, not the bodies. BTW, can't imagine why a birder would buy a 1DX for "reach". This spec pretty much covers the needs of the 7D II crowd, likely with a bit of a price premium and now, presto, they are in RF land.Disagree. Not everyone slinging around a 1-series camera is some ball turret gunning sports sideline photog or Nat Geo wildlifer who needs a built-for-war ruggedized instrument.
Some are reach obsessed birders. 45x20 would open up all kinds of cropportunities for them.
Some are the younger crowd who just want crazy throughput even if it's not 1-series indestructible.
Some get one because it's the most affordable higher end Canon video rig they can build, but they would welcome a smaller offering or one with a tilty-flippy.
Some are reportage folks, who don't need or want a big conspicuous instrument to cover (say) city events or local politics.
We don't know the price of this unicorn of a camera, or if it will ever happen. But if it does happen, [45 x 20] + IBIS + [heretofore-unheard-of video specs] will ab-so-lutely steal some degree of 1DX3 business.

I love shooting with no slot cameras. Just need more patience.Cannon should make a card for you guys with zero slots since you obviously don’t think your pictures are worth preserving.

Those of you saying the 8k spec is impossible simply don't know how Japan works. NHK sets bar for video performance and then they "assign" tasks to different manufacturers (and Canon is certainly part of the mix) to make sure that bar is crossed. The 2020 Olympics is the inauguration event for NHK 8k broadcasting, so expect to see a LOT of 8k capable equipment this year. There is nothing in this spec that is not achievable with the support of CFExpress cards. I expect this the nominal 5D4 replacement and we will later (or maybe simultaneously) see the 5DS replacement with 75 or 80 MP. 39.3 MP is the minimum 3x2 resolution needed to make 8k, so either 40 or 45 make sense as the crop would be essentially zero for 40 and very minimal for 45. The R lenses are good enough to support a hi MP camera and Canon won't let that goodness go to waste, so count on the 80MP version as well. Given that express lanes are a bit power hungry, we may see only one card slot or one CFExpress and one SD (with performance limitations), but only time will tell. The amount and quality of the RF glass introduced sends the clear message that Canon is serious about the line and they have no intention of being outflanked by the likes of Sony, so expect big things in 2020. Another note re 8k and "killing the cinema line". For decent judder performance, 8k really NEEDS 60 fps, so you can also expect the cinema line to move to 8k/60 by NAB time. It is going to be a fun (and expensive) year. Don't forget to snap up that 8k TV set.
