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

[ahsanford]

I may update the list, but let's see where everyone's head is on this. What's the big miss, bad call or feature omission that has you wound up with this leak?

- A


COMPANION POLL -- what did you like?

You forgot the "I'm not upset at all this is the absolutely bestest most perfectest camera in the world" option. I'm sure that will be a popular one here on CR.

Also, the "It still has a mirror. Stupid Canon," option should just be renamed AvTvM click here.

It is hard to be upset when you just don't care.

Corrected.

what I'm most dissappointed about is some sort of EVF merging with the 5D series even from a simplistic hotshoe attached EVF standpoint.

Careful what you vote for, as a joke or protest. Remember Brexit?

That's 2 in the AvTvM slot already!

Of the options given, I chose "FPS too low" because I was hoping for a lower-MP/higher-FPS camera than the leak says.

The 5D4's 'problem' for me is myself; I'm really not the target customer - I was looking for a more sports-oriented camera. The 5D3's AF system lured me over to FF from APS-C 5D3 in 2012, and after getting used to FF IQ, I cannot go back to APS-C, so in the end picking up a lightly used 1DX was the correct choice for me.

Maybe a 5D5 (in 2020) will be a suitable replacement for my 5D3 at the time.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Canon seems reluctant to offer a FF 1DX-lite. If you bird, chase varmints, etc. you have a choice of 1DX or crop 1DX. That's it. They seem very reluctant to offer a 10-ish fps FF rig less than $6k.

Haha, well that would imply much more. No mirror, no mechanical shutter, new mount, new lens lineup free from any moving parts.

Y'know that's exactly why I went for the used 1DX. Zero regrets here

Look, Porkins...it's the internet. You're pushing an unobtainable goal...

Selected the last option, although it should be emphasized that we are still in the rumor phase and without sample images and RAW files to play around with, can't know for sure if it's simply a minor adjustment needed or a total deal-breaker...

I'll reserve full judgment until I can see for myself how the camera performs.

 

[Loswr]

Isn't the last option sort of like saying, "Salary is too *high* -- I wanted best possible income instead of more money?" I have yet to see a convincing argument that more resolution is worse than less resolution from an IQ standpoint. Depending on use case, it may be no better...but not worse.

Now, if the issue was resolution too high, I'd have preferred 26 MP @ 8 fps with 36 frame RAW buffer instead of 30 MP @ 7 fps with 30 frame RAW buffer, that's a valid argument.

Predictable psychology here: the 'upset' thread has a few replies, the 'pleased' thread zero. This demonstrates that it's much more fun to discuss what we dislike rather than what we like.......

It appears that the 5DIV won't take user interchangeable screens by the looks of the pictures of the front sans lens. Personally I'm surprised because Canon introduced this to the high end crop camera - the 7DII, and took it away from the mid range one, the 80D.

Just why a 7DII would have this feature but not the FF 5D rather baffles me. I must assume that Canon MR shows that playing with manual lenses is mostly a hobbyist's practice, and that most hobbyists go for crop due to economics.

So having been wrong about the 5DIV reintroducing the 'manual screen' option, I'm now guessing we will see it continued in the 6D line with the mark II.

True. No one wants to post 'yer damn right it has 4K because it ought to'.
