It is going to give APS-C users a harder choice than FF users, except perhaps 6D users. 7DIII or R?

I'm really thrilled to see that the camera closes the shutter when you remove the lens. It's completely mystifying to me why no one else does this. The biggest concern I have using mirrorless is having that big, expensive, easily damaged sensor hanging out in the open when I change lenses. Canon seems to have figured out the solution to this that should have been second nature to all manufacturers all along. Once again Canon seems to be the only manufacturer who understands what making a camera durable under real world conditions means.
And hopefully it's designed in a way that it does not drain the battery just to hold the shutter closed. Perhaps there's a locking mechanism that engages that holds it shut without the use of battery power. If they had the foresight to make the shutter close when you remove a lens, hopefully they had the foresight to make it so that the camera isn't sitting there draining the battery any time a lens is removed. But then again, who just leaves a camera sitting around for long periods without a lens on it anyway?
really?You can't vlog with a 24mm lens...
Erm... how can the same sensor have more phase AF pixels when it uses DPAF?
There could be practical limitations in how these pixels are grouped together for more reliable (less noisy) phase detection.I was going to say... Isn't every pixel on a DP sensor essentially its own phase detect AF point? I mean that's kind of the whole point of the technology, right?
Agreed. I assume software establishes line pairs (albeit with a single column of pixels) in specific locations rather than having some amorphous blob.There could be practical limitations in how these pixels are grouped together for more reliable (less noisy) phase detection.

It’s the same sensor with a different software implementation for selectable locations.

Has anyone noticed if DPRAW files are exactly double the file size of non DPRAW files? I guess you'd have to take the exact same photo twice to know for sure since RAW file sizes do fluctuate.

Can someone tell me where the bottleneck is that gives us 5fps in servo mode? They claim “worlds fastest autofocus” and there is no mirror which is suppose to give us more FPS. So what’s the deal and how do they fix it in the Pro model?
May be when the R series gets to the level of 1D, it will be larger, thus able to have 3 processors with one dedicated for AF and increase frame rate.
Beings the Olympic games are in Tokyo 2020 it may appear before that, so 18 months time.
The 1DX2 already can shoot 16 fps in Liveview with AF working ...but not under Servo AF. I've been looking around for a published actual top speed with Liveview burst shooting doing the tracking work and I can't find it at either TDP or Canon proper. (Anyone know?)
