Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications & Image
I was so hoping that they were going to put out a new class of sensor this time around. Something with BSI.
The lack of cfast and only 4k@30fps is depressing as well. There goes my hopes for a 7D3 before the end of the decade.

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications & Image
This place is hilarious. A few months ago the 5D IV was going to be DOA because it wasn't going to have 4K. Now that 4K is confirmed, the real problem is that 30fps isn't enough. Something tells me that the internet critics will never be satisfied.

my god.. the lemmings are jumping off the cliff!
If the rumor had CFAST everyone would still be bitching .. I don't want to swap all my CF cards (see all the whining on the 1Dx Mark II threads).

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications & Image
Clearly, Canon is doomed. So doomed in fact that I've 90% settled on buying a 1DX II. Oh but someone here said the 120fps looked like junk. Yeah, no. For those who want/need a fast action stills body like I do that can also do great (albeit perhaps not the THE best) video, I've become convinced. This link is a great short video that was done by a guy who shoots professionally with RED Cinema gear and bought the DX2 as a B cam. In a conversation I had with him tonight, he could not have been more praising of the DX2's cinematic prowess for what it is. Technical aspects of this are wonderful, and there are some very lovely ladies scantily clad in it. Enjoy.

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications & Image
Winner winner, chicken dinner! The 5D4 in its current RUMORED flavor, does not have specs that demand the need to have CFast, which was likely a HIGHLY calculated move by Canon given their core market. If they felt 120fps at 1080p was something heavily desired, they would have perhaps calculated otherwise. In that case I would understand the CFast necessity. Let's move on from this already. I'm honestly surprised there isn't more debate on whether we will see DPAF with this camera or not. I find it very telling that not a single rumor leaked thus far has mentioned it.

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications & Image
I was waiting for 1080@120 But everything else looks to be great. I'll just have to pony up for one 1Dx2 for the slo-mo stuff and then a few 5D4s for the other angles. I think Canon played this release perfectly. Not alot of people have been able to take full advantage of 4K stuff with TVs, bandwitdh and even people's computer speed to watch 4K. Canon wasn't in a rush to put that in until they got it just right ( e.g. no overheating )

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications & Image
You're not alone in that assumption. But there's a few flaws to that logic.
The 70D came out with DPAF in a crop body. That camera was a sub-7D series that debuted the DPAF tech as a video rich feature. The 70D was often touted for video by Canon.
The 7D2 then came out also with DPAF as the 7 crop bodies are regarded as the 1 Series of APS-C models. Being the do all, be everything, ultimate (crop) DSLR
The out came the DX2 also with DPAF as it was the new FF do all, be everything, ultimate Full Frame Camera.
The 5 body doesn't necessarily fit into this anywhere. The video specs rumored here don't seem to suggest the 5 body is meant to be a killer DSLR video camera. Plus, the 1DX2 and 7D2 share the SAME 20.2MP DPAF build, with one being crop and one being FF (different pixel pitches obviously).
Going back to my earlier point, I would have been more convinced of a 5 body having DPAF if the rumors gravitated to a 24MP sensor like the 80D (which replaced the 70D). But now we seem to be going to 30.... Would Canon really have made a totally new DPAF sensor (which are much more costly to produce than non DPAF) for a new 5 body that still doesn't seem (at this point based on rumor) to be seriously enriched in video features like the DX2?
Just asking questions. I really don't know. Again, I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not expecting it. DPAF isn't something that is going to add a lot of value to a 5 body's primary market or wedding and portrait shooters who seldom use Live View with Servo.

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications & Image
Facetious sarcasm I trust. Lack of DPAF won't inhibit your ability to shoot stills through the OVF, which is the overwhelming majority of how the 5 bodies are used. Not having a method of reviewing your images however...could present a serious problem.
