I do, a 70" one. But I get very little native 4K input and all 4K tv's currently have to do a good job up scaling 2k because that is what most of them are fed 99% of the time.
There are very few opportunities for 4K streaming or broadcasting yet, having got the tv I feel very ahead of the curve with it, don't know how long it will take the delivery options to catch up.

80d produces nice high bitrate 1080p with nice colors without much work. My 70d takes up 32gb space to record around 30min of video in 1080p. How much it is going to be with 4k? Unless you are making money by selling your video work, it is lot of work to manage these video files.douglaurent said:

Dumb question, but what's going on at the top of the camera? I am a little confused. From the top and back I see an EVF with a hotshoe on top. In the second photo (M5_49) I see what looks like a small flash unit on top of the EVF. It's pointing up, but looks as if it could drop down to face forward. I didn't read anything about built-in flash in the spec.
Apologies if this is obvious or has already been raised. Quite excited. I've been an original M user for several years. Almost jumped to the M3, which I like, but it meant having to buy a lens that I already owned. Decided to wait longer and this looks very good.

)ahsanford said:That top view (knobstorm) + integral EVF + DPAF + beefier grip = this is starting to look like the 'logically tinier but not disgracefully controlled super-tinyness emphasized' rig many enthusiasts have been waiting for.
I still want to see more native and small EF-M lenses (more tiny f/2 primes!), but this is 2/3 of the way of metamorphosizing a lovely tiny commercial rig into a more conventional/flexible/intuitive/powerful tool for enthusiasts.
Eager to see how DPAF + EVF coexist. Touchscreen AF that affects the viewfinder AF selection? Is thumb-controlled-focusing the new eye-controlled-focusing?#intrigued

I suspect it's like the pany and nikon implementation where the lcd remains active and you can use your finger on the lcd panel to select your af point.

A,
See my comments on page 2. I think the on/off is for EVF, you tilt the screen 45 while in EVF mode, and look / tap down to use touch AF + EVF. Innovate. I think this sets the standard for future mirrorless AF implementation. Hope Canon has a patent for it, I can see SonyNikon copying it.
I remember seeing something a while back about auto switching between the EVF and rear LCD when you have your eye up to the EVF. Don't know if was Canon or not. It would be a nice feature and save time and eliminate another switch.

I think the on/off is for the camera, standardizing the position of the switch. Again, another indication that this camera is a more serious product than they have had before.
