this is the only thing you said that was true. and you don't even really know what that word is.
comments like "it would have been easy to put in.. " shows a complete lack of understanding that Canon's Video DiGiCs and Canon's Camera DiGiCs are entirely separate entities.
If it was so easy to put in the XC10's codec they would have done it with the 1Dx Mark II,that had a far greater ability to shunt heat.
They did not.
comments like "really any point in paying $3200 for it?"
show a complete lack of reality from the author of that .. and even you should comprehend that.
So expecting something different (and better) in a smaller chassis .. is just more continual whining about something really that is completely immaterial to this camera.
it was never meant to be a full fledged video camera. get over yourself that you are actually more important over photographers that actually would use this in the real world.
Go back to your Sony and horrible to grade S-LOG and consumer Codecs and good riddance.

Announced...released. Same thing, right? :
(In case you missed the sarcasm, it seems rather unlikely – oops, more sarcasm – that they'd announce the new camera in September then the announcement of the new kit lens for it would follow in October.)

Not so sure it's anything you've done – the site you linked has been guilty of some egregious past behavior, seems that the mods set up a 'bleep' for links to it. Likewise, embedded in the name of the Japanese source is an English 'four-letter word' which some type as sh!t to get around the forum software auto-replace, and it seems that forum edit killed your google translate link.

I removed the previous post as I don't like outing sites who botch the clock. Thank-you very much for contributing.

Man, I've been all over the place over the past few weeks and throughout the 65 pages of this thread...
Coming from a 5DmkIII (a 50D before that) and using it for landscape shots (which I sell) and portraits of kids (now getting into sports), I thought the move to the IV would be a no-brainer. I saved up more than enough over the past 4 years of using the mkIII to pay for the new body and the 24-105 lens without having to think too much about it but now that the specs and price are finalized, I don't know, it just feels like 'not enough'.
Personally, I only moved from the 50D to the 5DmkIII when I had hit the limits of that crop camera and could see my files falling apart with any push in post. The 5D has been great and I've printed at 40x60 on a few occasions using Perfect Resize with the final prints being very well received. I manually enter *** data on all landscape shots which is a bit of a PITA but part of my workflow now. I've shot exactly 5 minutes of video in the past 4 years and over 100,000 actuations.
For the final price of $4,599 of the 5DmkIV and new 24-105 lens [source - earlier post with link since removed], I really expected something more than what is written on the final spec list. The bump up to 30MP is nice but not big enough as some have pointed out. We'll see about the final real-world dynamic range but I have very rarely found scenes where I needed to pull up shadows by 3 EV in any shot that would be worth sharing/printing.
For all the excitement about dual pixel RAW, it ends up just being a better DLO for in-camera JPEG? Really?!?!?
I can't help but wonder if there really is a $4,000 difference between the mkIV and what I would get for selling the mkIII plus 24-105. I'm really not seeing it in the specs as I said and am not sure I've really hit the limit of what my current setup can manage. Hope this doesn't come across as anything but honest wonder from a long time Canon user (bought myself a 350D four months before my now almost 11 year old kid was born).

Some of these new posters are being facetious, but to be honest, as i read and re-read the leaked press release, the more I find the 5Div's video specs underwhelming. The commentary from those linked sites criticizing the video specs are not completely out of line.
You guys out here that are dyed-in-the-wool stills shooters should go easy on us video guys for a change. I find a common stereotype when we criticize Canon is that someone will tell us to go to Sony and get lost with their "confusing menus," "consumer codecs," etc..
Not all of us want or shoot on Sony, myself being one of them.

Since the 5DIV takes the same batteries as the III, does this mean that the new camera will use the same battery grip?
