It has to be the least important attribute of a camera.
I thought the name was all that mattered ;D

The A7R II sensor in a 5D would be pretty amazing (if they didn't cripple any video usability features).
Okay..... have you noticed that Sony cameras currently deliver a max video
data rate of 100 mbps while the 1D-X Mk II delivers up to 800 Mbps?
UHD 4k high compression against DCI 4k at low compression, and at the
same time applying digital lens optimization to video, frame by frame?
Why in hell should Canon dump that superior technology in favor of the
crappy Sony video capabilities?
Read my lips: The 5D Mk IV will be presented this month.
The DR and IQ out of the A7R II is great. Far superior to any of Canon's offering.

How 'bout "Names are smoke and mirrors!" ?Maximilian said:In German we say: "Namen sind Schall und Rauch!"
There's no good translation for it but
"Names! Who cares about names? What's the features?"

I think the 5DX name would be okay if it has a high frame rate. Maybe it will or won't. There's no real reason to call it a Mark IV either.![]()

Based on what information?
Talking to people in the know. April, for sure.

Had to look that up. Haha, no wonder you guys still live on trees.
Orangutan said:On the other hand, Canon has not often been this tight with information: by now CR and the other rumors sites should have had a few rumbles from reliable sources.
Nomen omen. It's Latin. It can be translated as "a name is a presage" or "one name, one destiny". The Romans believed the name indicated the destiny, so if it's not Mark IV let's hope it's 5DA(mazing) ;Dkaihp said:How 'bout "Names are smoke and mirrors!" ?Maximilian said:In German we say: "Namen sind Schall und Rauch!"

I guess it would be close to the meaning in German.
