No innovation by Canon

[Ozarker]

purely mindless

Exactly!

All those patents that Canon filed last year must have been for copiers and printers.

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.

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!!!!

I have no idea what a green box is. I opened the sides of my cameras and saw the usb thingy and on the other side saw some cards (Not poker, well, I would if she let me). Still, I don't see no got dang green box.

No running man, mountain, flower or head mode either. They gave it the touch screen the rebels have but they didn't give us the flip screen. wth are we supposed to do?

Also, has anyone ever noticed there are few complaints about no on board flash with the 1D series? If this were a 5D release there would be complaints.

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?! :

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.

There's a new saying that applies here:

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

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

We are a humor (or for us Canadians, humour) deprived bunch that takes things way to seriously...

and by the way, green box mode is the mode-of-last-resort and is usually hidden at the far end of the mode dial. It is for when you accidentally dropped your manual into the green box (recycling bin) and can not remember how to change settings on your camera.

I put black nail polish over my Green Box mode button so other people won't think I'm a total loser.

What concerns me the most about the 1DX Mark II is..

Will it be able to take a picture? Has anyone even actually confirmed that?

You just won Canon Rumors for the day.

Yes, but of course not as well as all other manufactures offerings.

Sorry CFB, missed the sarcasm. Sarcasm doesn't work well on the internet especially when most of the techno-geeks on this forum will echo your thoughts and be completely serious.

I just realized it has a mirror - now I know they haven't innovated at all. That's it, I'm selling all my Canon gear for $5. I doubt there are any takers given the direction Canon is heading.

A mirror? Really? Canon is trying to sell us technology from 6000 B.C.?

A lot of people are raving about the voice quality when making phone calls. I don't know if anyone has tried out the camera app yet.

The damn thing burns toast. I'm out...

I might as well not have a mode dial. I set it on manual and have not moved it yet.

You just need to know one thing: SONY.

Once the pros see and try to use the new camera... Canon is finished. C'mon Canon!
