No innovation by Canon

[Ozarker]

The new 1DX Mark II specs are out and I see from many posts that there is no innovation by Canon in this new camera. *sigh* C'mon Canon! (Weeping, wailing, and the gnashing of teeth ensues).

Why can't Canon get it together and give us all what we individually want in a single camera?

:Why?! :

Dual-Pixel AF on a full frame sensor with 4K video at 60 FPS?? The EOS 1V did it better! :

excuse me while I use my image stabilized fluorite element lens with an almost flat MTF line (not a curve any more) and take no flash pictures at ISO51,200 with the anti-flicker mode turned on......

At 16 fps.

Lets see how it looks like at ISO 51200...

There's an old saying that applies here:

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak your mind and remove all doubt.

I think it's more important for the trolls to be locked out of this forum when something new and exciting gets released

There is an old tradition on this forum that when a thread goes nuts, out come the squirrels..... allow me to start

It's the <sarcasm> tags you don't see that will lead to misinterpretation.

and none of that is "innovation", it is the slow and steady incremental improvements that from model to model do not make much of a difference, but over time add up to huge differences....

That said, there is still no green box mode on the 1DX2..... WHY CANON, WHY!!!! even the lowly rebels and p/s cameras have it!!!!

Let's face it. There has been no real innovation since the 19th C. After all, they had lenses, shutters and photon detectors over 150 years ago. Yawn.

I agree, Canon hasn't innovated since the D30. In fact, I used my old one the other day alongside my 1D X and don't see what all the fuss is about with the newer bodies. I can use the center AF point with no problem. If I need to shoot over ISO 400, I use a flash or wait for Noon. You don't need fast burst speed if you can nail the Decisive Moment. You also don't need lots of megapixels for Facebook or phones. Weatherproofing is for people too dumb to come in from the rain. And don't even get me started on LiveView

I think the days of huge innovative steps between camera bodies are long gone. You'll see nice adds but nothing ground breaking. With this new release I see no reason for me to make the leap to the 1DXII... the 1DX will be fine for another go around. With the 5D4 we may see the same. I already own 2 5D3's so unless it's a real game changer I'll be sticking with those too.

4k mean absolutely nothing to me or the rest of the "new" here. Doesn't mean it won't be great camera for others just means I'll be passing this time around. It also doesn't mean the 1DX or 5D3 will become obsolete immediately.

For craps sake, we don't even have sample photos or a user's feedback and it's getting bashed!
It doesn't effect me since I shoot in Auto with cheap with Canon's.

;D ;D ;D

Every time a new product is released, the argument begins.


The topic lacks innovation.

 

[slclick]

purely mindless

 

[JBSF]

For me, the fact that it comes only in black is a deal breaker.

I knew you would get it. I thought it was very obvious. Especially with the "rolled eyes" emoticon.

I hope to buy at the end of the model cycle. That's my plan for now.
