Actually one of the main target groups of the 1Dx series are the photo journalists. And exactly there this little fella is needed and is created for. ;-)ahsanford said:

too really get a more realistic view, you need to allow the poll to allow for multi-selection, the whole pick THE one thing bit tends to given a very distorted impression

Many seem to forget that - if Canon keeps the product cycles - these specs will be the standard until the year 2020.
But inn the year 2020, a lot of features not included in the 5D4 like in body stabilization, focus peaking, video log, 4k 60fps etc etc will be available in similar priced or cheaper cameras since up to 6 years by then!
It is obvious that Canon's marketing department thinks that the slowest possible speed of innovation is still the way to sell most products. They are wrong, because for many the improvements are not enough to upgrade.
At least Canon could offer more expensive versions of the 5D4 with swivel screen etc. No idea why that's not possible!!!

of course you make the assumption that most people buy the camera for video features.
you could be seriously wrong you know.
also .. canon's market user base is somewhere around 24-28 million in the last 4 or so years.
they have MORE than enough users that are qualified to upgrade to the 5D Mark III on pure photography reasons, over your whiney little video ones. As you say "Many seem to forget that.........."
Cheers and have a blessed day.

Re: New pics 0f 16-35 and 24-105
Thanks for posting the pics.
Looks like the 16-35 f/2.8L III is internal zooming like its predecessor (expected) -- at least the front element looks like it will remain behind the filter threads I mean. No way to tell if it's BR or not from outer markings, so that will be a longer spec list / marketing announcement sort of tell.
Curious about the 24-105L II -- same 77mm filter thread but weight/length is hard to peg b/c the various sites are inconsistent with caps/hoods/etc. But it appears to have gotten a little longer and little heavier.

Zoom Lock?
The 24-105 shows the focus switch and the top of the IS switch in positions corresponding to the older lens. But on the right -- another switch -- could that be a zoom lock? Really my number one desired feature on a 24-105 mkII.

Lots of good info here: Thanks, CanonRumors guy!

Also, we don't have a reverse view on the 24-105L II, so we don't know if that rabbit-in-a-hat 0.7x macro mode from the 24-70 f/4L IS made it into this model as well.
There is a boss on the right of the barrel that (presumably) has the lock switch to prevent telescoping out when placed in your bag, but in the 24-70 f/4L IS that same boss has a reverse position to unlock that 0.7x macro mode. I suppose it's possible that this 24-105L II also gets the same treatment, but it's likely just a lock switch.
