user manual for Canon 760D/750D are also available for download on canon India website. And canon has added a serious buffer for jpeg on that camera. It can do 180 L jpegs with suferfine settings.

Numerous years ago there were many "white papers" available for my 1Ds3, offering various CF settings suggestions for various shooting scenarios.
Will those types of things be available this time around...when?

 

[shutterlag]

I'm just not impressed. I was waiting for the 7Dm2 and then WTF no wifi? In this day and age? So now I was waiting for this, and WTF no wifi? I use remote controls all the time for nature shots, astrophotography, etc.

The A7rII with IBIS will be out in a month. Maybe it's time to go that route. I expect it will have greate high ISO performance, along with IBIS and focus peaking. It's such a pain to change out gear though. Damnit Canon.

Manuals are quite boring to read, but now we know that the BG-E11 will work with the 5Ds, which is nice.
My local camera dealer in germany is offering some sort of a "Get your hands on" Day on the 24th of April where you can test the 5Ds and 5DsR.
The PDF can be found here: http://www.foto-gregor-gruppe.de/koeln/homepage/special.pdf

Manuals are quite boring to read

They do tell us about two unanswered questions, that I've been wondering about:

1. The 5Ds does in fact have EC with Auto ISO in M mode.
2. It has the new AWB W (White priority) white balance mode from the 7DII

The first one is a big deal because I use it about 90% of the time with my 1D X and really miss it on the 5DIII.

Hi,

I'm just not impressed. I was waiting for the 7Dm2 and then WTF no wifi? In this day and age? So now I was waiting for this, and WTF no wifi? I use remote controls all the time for nature shots, astrophotography, etc.

FYI, 7D2 is a sports and wildlife APS-C camera and the rumor A7rII is a FF general purpose camera... two camera design for different purpose. Also, the wifi remote control is not suitable for shooting Astrophotography... you won't be able to see anything on the phone apps live view unless your target is the Moon and the Sun.

Anyway, it's basically had all the features on the 7d2 and now can even customize the quick control screen layout which is a nice features. I think it'll go into most future mid/high Canon camera.

Have a nice day.

Sorry, but I can't wait for this camera for my astrophotography. Having the field of view of a full frame for maximum sky coverage, and the ability to crop into a specific area for more detail sounds incredible to me. No wifi? I use a CamRanger. I can use my iPad to check my focus, do a quick high ISO exposure for framing, set my aperture, f-stop, number of seconds exposure and number of exposures, and off it goes...and I can go back into my house when it's 9 degrees outside.

Going through the manuals is like peeking at your presents on Christmas Eve...I want to get my hands on this camera ASAP. So now that the manuals are out, could that mean the actual release date could be sooner than the end of June?

7d2 and d7100 are very close to A7ii in terms of ISO performance in real world comparison did by review sites. Though, A7ii produced amazing numbers in dxo tests. Why do you think A7rii is going to have greatest high ISO where A7ii barely beats Canon and Nikon crop offerings.

532 PAGES????

I am not sure I will get this read before it is time to upgrade again.

 

[Nitroman]

Canon have crippled the Auto Exposure Bracketing !!!

So, correct me if i'm wrong ... but it sems that Canon have crippled the 5D III's auto exposure bracketing to a limit of three frames and three stops !!! WTF ?!!!

This severely limits hdr for me and is ridiculous !

The 5DSR has the exact same AEB features a the 5D Mark III which is 3-7 shots in 1/3 EV increments. That should be plenty.

I had hoped it was the same as the 5D3 but it seems it's not.

I don't own a Canon 5D3, but the UK spec tells me it's 2,3,5 or 7 frame bracketing.

Yes, its 2-7 frames. The same as the 5DIII.

 

[Nitroman]

Ahhh yes ... i see it's listed as a custom function on page 404.

Does this mean i can bracket 7 frames at +/- 2 stops ?

 

[mackguyver]

Yes, in 2/3 stop increments 0, -2, -1.33, -0.66, +0.66, +1.33. +2, but why would you want to? I know Canon sensors don't have as much DR as the SoNikons, but bracketing 1-2 stops in RAW should give you plenty of latitude for all but the most critical work. Also, most HDR software works well as long as you have no more than 2 stops between exposures, but will work with 3 stops if pushed.

 

[Nitroman]

I like my work to be the most critical

I use my 1Ds3 for this at the moment and it works great but not enough mega pixies.

Full HD 1080p Video Recording at 30 fps


Not something to be proud of for a $3699 camera.

 

[Nitroman]

Must admit, I'm a little disappointed that Canon insist on lower video spec for this potentially awesome camera.

 

[PureClassA]

The thought of having to merge 7 shots to an HDR is giving me indigestion... Let's hope they're not of things like trees and grass in a gentle breeze lol ;D
