Canon's Full Frame Future [CR2]

[1982chris911]

I have an a6000, and find it hard to grip. I am assuming the a7 would be slightly grippier, but not as much as the 5D which I like.

back in the day that was my first point why I chose Canon over Nikon (lenses being second and more resolution of the 5d mk2 against the then Nikon offerings being third) My hand just does not play well with a Nikon ... and you just hesitate to buy something you carry all day if somehow you hand does not feel all right ... same reason I don't really like the 1DX or gripped 5DIII and 7d ...

I love the way my 5D3 feels in my hands, but that being said if the 5D4 is a compromise camera then I will simply go with the Sony. Canon is charging luxury prices for compromise bodies and that's got to change.

EDIT: There is no reason the 5DIV shouldn't squash the D810. Why is everyone so eager to accept an 18MP camera? Everyone else is doing better ISO performance and better dynamic range with larger pixel counts. I've bought into the Canon system so it isn't easy to switch systems, but my glass will work with the A7R II very well.

Canon doesn't need to remain a generation (or more) behind with the brand new camera.

I hope Canon hasn't forgotten how to improve on a camera like the 5d3. What I consider improvement is:

1. Higher resolution
2. Better dynamic range
3. Lower noise at higher ISO's
4. Faster fps
5. Faster and more accurate AF

I don't want a 5d4 that will be an improvement in one of these only by sacrificing other criteria. If they come out with a camera that's good in the noise department but drops to 18MP, they can keep it. I'll stick with my 5d3 until they can improve on it for real. What happened to the days when one camera was good for everything?

Those days never existed. There has been and always will be specialisation.

One camera is still good for everything...and you've got one!

I don't even have one hammer that's good for everything.
