Probably will be my definitive camera, until Canon gives me IBIS or some kind of Foveon sensor ;D

What hate you for an opinion that's completely irrelevant to the quality or popularity of the camera?

Curious as to this "Dual Pixel RAW" alluded to. Can't wait to get some clarification on what exactly that is. Dual ISO?

That expression Google translated as "ever possible to no post-processing of the adjustment dual pixel RAW file" is "これまでに無い後処理の調整が可能なデュアルピクセルRAWファイル" which might be better translated as "Editable Dual Pixel RAW files (a feature which was previously unavailable up to now)"
Still not completely clear on what this means, but I wonder if this is the new feature they're talking about. It claims it's a never before done feature.

Thanks! I was about to send that to a Japaense buddy for translation. Thats kinda what I thought it said more or less. What we may be looking at there (now Im almost positive) is the long rumored Dual ISO function that ML created in for the 5D3 but now applied by Canon itself with their DPAF sensors, which frankly is a total no-brainer perfect marraige of tech and firmware. I would have to believe this will absolutely get added to the DX2 via firmware since it too already has all the hardware in place to do this. They probably just didnt have it perfected in time for its release and saved it for a huge aplash with the 5D4

The sensor resolution catches me off guard for sure. I'm pleasantly surprised there. I'm indifferent about the CF card and not C-Fast. This means my collection of 1066X Lexar cards will still be relevant for a few more years in my primary body...but it also means that my media storage collection won't be taking the leap into the modern era. I would have really liked 8fps, but I'll take 7fps since it's more than the current 5D3 I use for backup duty for sports. A concern I have is buffer depth. The files out of a 30mp sensor coming in at 7fps will likely bog the camera down a bit, so hopefully it remains speedy AND can write to both card slots quickly.
But the inclusion of WiFi, touchscreen, Dual-Pixel, a 30mp sensor with on chip ADC and lower read noise, and 4K are sure to make this a big hit without a doubt...there will be haters.
Primary questions about the camera:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Autofocus in Low Light - having just experienced horrible AF issues on two dark shoots this month, I'm really itching for a camera that can autofocus like my 6D and 7D2 can in low light...if not improve upon it. Nothing more frustrating than knowing your next camera is getting announced this month and you're experiencing a problem you hate with your current one!!
[*]Buffer Depth on Both Card Slots - every 5D3 owner that shoots RAW knows the struggle of the dreaded SD card slot buffer being pathetic. I really think this will be solved, but I'd love to know for a fact.
[*]Silent Shooting Mode - this is certainly going to be a very popular camera with wedding photographers and jounralists so continuous silent shooting will hopefully see a little jump in speed.
[*]Linked Exposure Metering to AF Point - not something that's make/break for me since none of my cameras do it, but it would be a great feature.
[/list]
I'm excited. I'll be ordering mine hopefully before October, but either way, this will be in my hands this year.
