What are you the most *upset* about with the newly leaked 5D4 specs?

[daniela]

For me, the plus of €500 is the point that makes me upset. €3200 would have been ok. €3500 acceptable. But €3800 a little bit to much.
Maybe this feeling occurs, because someone mentioned 3200 some days before....

Especially when our friends form Sony release their competitor with their well known higher DR and IQ some of us will moan. Moan again when Sonny will deliver an Megapixel bang...

Only thing I wonder is if the wifi connection with the EOS Utility app will be able to control active servo DPAF Auto Focusing during video. I don't have a DPAF model, so I have no clue. Anyone? If it can, That would be amazing. But my 6D with Wifi is honestly so damn slow and unreliable I stopped even trying to use it.

Yes you can. Just tap anywhere on your phone screen, it works just like tapping the camera touchscreen.

The only thing once can be "upset" about is the price (I would like this camera to be free or close to that, but that is a personal wish).

Apart from that? higher ISO? 102K is shooting in total darkness and getting a "daylight" picture (and be honest with yourself, how many pictures you take at that ISO daily?) Once they kept the ISO and managed to reduce noise at 30Mp... who can be upset about that. It is much better to have reduced noise 102K image than useless 3M ISO noisy picture, quality is preferred to quantity in this case.

For me it would be the shutter life, rated for 150000, a bit in the skinny side when you consider the 1DX2 is rated for 400000

 

[rcarca]

No vote here since we do not know what that double RAW file will do.

To me it seems the most promising spec of the entire camera. Could be the "killer" spec for me if it does what I hope it can do; high ISO IQ jump (I'll probably also go with increased DR even if that's the only thing it does).

+1

I'm upset that the x-sync is still only 1/200th of a second

If there's an "upset" poll there should be a "content" poll too otherwise you're biased and better join SONY Rumors instead. ;D

There is a "content" poll. Go have a look

 

[SteveM]

Can't decide if I am disappointed or pleased. Disappointed such that there is nothing in the spec (not a video shooter) that interests me at all - insignificant increases. Pleased such that I will now have the cash available to increase my holiday spec, or book another couple of holidays.
The Mklll shoots a clean image (my opinion) at 3200iso, if the MklV can shoot an identical image at at least 6400 ISO they will have my attention. It will also need to retain the ability to at least get an image at 51200 ISO - a very noisy image is better than no image.
I'd hazard a guess that they've almost squeezed all they can from the current sensors and a major breakthrough is needed in sensor technology, probably a completely new sensor, before any significant changes in performance will be seen. Realistically, that is probably what I will wait for now.
I've stayed on the merry go round for the 5D; 5D mkll and 5D Mklll, it's time to jump off now. Gotta go, on my way to the travel agents before they close, mmmm I do like the Italian Lakes....

Like an idiot, I went out and bought a CFast card and reader just in case there was a run on them after the announcement. Feeling kind of foolish.

Not so fast! I could suggest a way for you to not feel foolish. It is kind of expensive though. I leave it to your imagination ;D

So was the 5DIII at launch...in fact...so was the 5DII...come to think about it...the 5D was pretty steep at launch too.

Well what I was thinking for someone to take advantage of a CFast card a reader is a little more expensive than 5DIII or 5DIV ;D

Well now that it's official I have my set of grievances:
1) SD card slot is limited to UHS I. This is a huge disappointment.
2) Live view shooting speed is 4.3fps with Servo AF. Would have hoped it could match 7fps in live view or maybe shoot a bit faster like 8-10fps
3) No full frame 4K, I'm interested in getting into video so would have loved full frame 4K even if it was only at 24p.

The 1DX2 doesn't even have full-frame 4k -- they crop around 1.3, right? And the two 4K Nikons are not better in that regard -- I think I read that the D5 (their flagship) was 1.5-ish.

But yeah, the slower burst in LiveView (mirror-up, after all) is a bit shocking. I don't shoot burst in liveview, but I could see how some folks would be really let down by that.

My list was in order of what I found most disappointing.

Being at number three I'm not overly upset about cropped 4K, just saying it would have been nice. In general, cinema cameras aren't full frame sensors so they are all usually some form of crop. In the spirit of giveth and taketh away (or more accurately includeth and omitteth on purpoth) I was just hoping that Canon would offer full frame as they were obviously going to omit zebras, peaking and c-log.

Inwant to change my vote to hell too expensive.

The poll is closed.

And I think 700 angry videographers would swarm this poll if I re-opened it... Something about being forced to buy some really wide EF mount lenses all of a sudden. :

obviously i voted "still a stupid mirrorslapper, so stupid of you, Canon!"
lmagine the 5D4 specs in an A7 sized mirrorless cam ...

second is the totally ludicrous euro msrp: € 4,065 ... utter madness. 5d was 1900, 5d2 was 2700, 5d3 was 3400, 5d4 is 4065. stupid, canon. ot will severely limit unit sales in europe. north of 4k € was 1D territory not too long ago.

third comes no fully articulated lcd. stupid, conservative canon. they do not break nearly as often as claimed by stupid, conservative canon mirrorslapper fanbois.
