Maybe a compression option for 4K recording that does not take so much space.

FHD@120 ( fingers crossed )

I love my canon cameras but we're talking about canon people......

If they could improve battery life, that would be fantastic!

I have my 5D4 for more than a week now. I found it was not as sharp as my 6D when 16-35 f/4 was used.

Haven't tested 70-200 and 100-400. Not sure what would happen.

Anyone has any experience to share?

2 firmware capable options that would improve the camera immensely would be the ability to record full frame 4k and ability to use a 100-250mbps non motion jpeg format

XAVC and 1080 120P? 8)

And as someone else said, 120fps Full HD

It is impossible. Your new camera must be defected. or you need to do micro adjustment with your lens.

No surprise that new FW coming this soon. Modern electronics are so complex that they'll always find bugs after units have left factory but not selling yet, so even Day1 updates are common. Game consoles and games have these more often than not.

I noticed this as well except comparing with my 5dMKIII. The image seemed softer as if there was more aggressive noise reduction happening behind the scenes. Don't get me wrong, the Mark IV was cleaner and I could add sharpening and still retain a cleaner image than the mark III but out of the camera was definitely softer.

You guys need to stop dreaming about the motion jpeg going away. If it did, I'd be on this camera in a heartbeat but that ain't gonna happen.

Dont get your hopes high, its Canon. Maybe a bug fixes will be issued with the update.

Mine are sharper than 5D3.

C-LOG cough

It's bug fixes, not feature enhancements, the only question is what language is the spelling error in !

 

[Antono Refa]

It probably an odd bug, and corrections to whatever typos they've found in the menus.

 

[tpatana]

I have 2 wishes:

1080p120
Dpaf during 120fps video

And reach goal which I know they don't give:
Spot linked metering
