And insane saturation because people associate strong colour with good image quality.

For what it's worth, my wife (who is the exact opposite of a photo nerd and doesn't really understand why I lug these enormous lenses to her triathlons), had an instinctive bad reaction to a super-saturated, super-tone-mapped video background (I don't even remember which). She couldn't identify the problem until I pointed it out to her, but she vastly prefers realistic colors, or even muted ones like on Top Gear. And as I said, this was all her reaction, not me leading her to it at all.

For whatever it's worth.

Just to clarify in painstaking detail: if you're recording video for pulling stills at a sports event, you don't have to limit yourself to shutter angles and so on. That can be cared for by the people shooting for video.

Just to clarify in painstaking detail, the clarion call for video in a DSLR is so that the poor lambs wanting to shoot video do not have to carry two cameras.

...carry two cameras, or pay a second person to shoot for whichever the first person isn't shooting. No, the promise was exactly "one camera, one person, output is exactly both great video and great stills". If it's really "you can shoot stills with a really high shutter speed", well then I don't think anyone would argue with that being a positive.

Only an idiot would use a $50,000 video camera just to pull stills at a sports event.

The poor lambs wanting to shoot video with a single camera have two choices: blurred stills and quality video; or crap video and sharp stills. You can't have both.

Perhaps:

...people doing video for sports don't really seem to care about smooth video. Probably because the general consumer doesn't give a rats ass about image quality.

But, many photographers and videographers do care about image quality even if they know the average consumer won't notice.

6.5 fps = giggles if true. Canon overnerfed the 5D4 fps -- a $3300 all-battlefield pro rig is only 0.5 fps quicker than a $1999 prothusiast model. No 5D4 owners will complain about that. :

both have a higher FPS than the 5Dsr .. does it matter that much? the 5D Mark IV has an additional DIGIC processor for AF/AE during high speed shooting. I would say there's a difference between the two cameras.

I had thought the 6D Mark II would be around this.. simply because of the D750 and D610.

None of them will mind. The lack of a second card slot means no 5DIV owner would ever even consider a 6DII. Not one. Or so 'K' assures us.

I wonder if this will have the Touch and Drag AF like the M5. That was omitted from the M6 (sadly) but I think it's an underrated feature that would be AMAZING in this since there are so many AF points now.

don't count on seeing a feature from the powershot firmware group aka M5/M6's .. ever make it to the DSLR firmware group. it's like the two live on different planets.

Size comparison from the top view -- form factor seems very similar, but the grip look a hair chunkier. In fairness, it might just be the same grip with a little added top 'landing' for the index finger only (i.e. it may not be globally thicker into the page).
