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

[tcmatthews]

I put No tilty-flippy screen because I really want a full frame Canon camera with one. I am sure the camera will make many of the target audience happy. But personally I want a more compact model with all of the stated features and a flip screen. The 5D bodies are just too big for my tastes. At least as a primary body. I really want a compact pro camera that nobody is currently making.

Now waiting the approximate 6 to 8 months to see what the 6D II offers. if it does not knock it out of the park my next camera is likely an upgrade to my Sony A7II.

I picked FPS is too low. Was hoping for 10 FPS.

8bit vs 10bit video
no 60fps 4k

the other stuff I might be upset about are how the DR turns out and whether they leave out basic, basic usability features like 100% zoomed box and zebras, but the leaked specs don't really hint one way or the other

This and a better codec with external 4K recording. Not supporting CFast 2 limits any possible upside by ML. Major fail on Canon's part. The current weak video specs mean I will not buy it. No biggie, there are more camera alternatives coming. I don't want to invest any money in less than broadcast quality video.

It doesn't matter how good it is if you can't (or wont) afford it....

Was hoping the 5D4 had RF master capability for Speedlites.

If the 6D2 does not get a tilty-flippy, I'll eat my shirt.

Perfectly happy reading new posts about nothing that matters at this time.
I'll read every post studiously when The 5D Mark IV is in the hands of legitimate
photographers and posting worthy photos/comments that illustrate the improvements
or lack there of.
I should have my 5 cords of firewood spilt and stacked by that time.

I shoot sporty animal action, birds, with 5D3 and 7D2. I wanted a faster burst-rate, intelligent focus-aware spot metering, but I'll be happy I'm sure.
Does Canon have a tick-tock development cycle? The 5D2 was bitterly disappointing to me, with a frame rate barely suitable for gecko-races, and no improvement in the primitive 5D autofocus (yeah, OK, vastly better IQ, and that video thing). Then came the 5D3, a major tock. I'm resigned that the 5D4 may be just a tick on that awesome tock.

The one spec of interest that is not listed is FPS in live view, could we see a 1 to 3 FPS boost there as on the 1DX-ii??

And I must admit I have been converted to the flippy screen camp. But considering I am moving from a 7D that is likely in bad need of a cleaning to a 5Div, I am sure I am going to be in love.

Yep, I left price out because we don't have a read on that yet. Still just estimates.

I was gonna tick the in "fps too slow" box, but given the earlier rumor of faster fps in live view I decided to vote with the "missing video feature" crowd.

I think compressed internal 4K (either AVC or HEVC) would be good to have as an alternative to MJPEG.

Is HDMI-out rumored to be limited to 1080p or will it also do 4K out?

 

[Maiaibing]

Resolution is in itself an essential part of picture IQ. So that option needs to be rephrased.

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).

:-\
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.

There is exactly a zero percent chance the 5D4 gets this after the 1DX2 didn't get it.

Didn't even put it on this list as I think it's too pie-in-the-sky unreasonable to expect. But feel free to vote for...

"The 'never done before in an SLR' feature (dual pixel raw) turned out to be something I wasn't that interested in. Was hoping this feature would be something more exciting"

...if that truly was the killer thing you wanted with this.

That said, I am very curious as to the benefits of the dual pixel readout, if that is the new thing. I am hoping it can be turned on/off as I do not want >60MB files. If that happens, the 5DsR is my next camera.

The 70D, 80D, and 1DX II have DPAF. Presumably (I hope so) the upcoming 5D Mark IV will have it. It does not double file size. It actually does not affect file size at all. It is for live view touch screen focusing.

Read out from both of the dual pixels, not DPAF. The rumor is new bayer filter and ability to record information from each.

"ever possible to no post-processing of the adjustment dual pixel RAW file (bad translation)
There has been lots of debate what Dual Pixel RAW actually means, so we’re going to wait until we see an official explanation from a Canon document."

Another translation by member Shunsai "That expression Google translated as "ever possible to no post-processing of the adjustment dual pixel RAW file" is "これまでに無い後処理の調整が可能なデュアルピクセルRAWファイル" which might be better translated as "Editable Dual Pixel RAW files (a feature which was previously unavailable up to now)"

All I am saying is I am interested in the feature, but not if it results in >60 MB files all the time. Thus, turning it on and off

Oh! Thanks for the explanation!

Price is too high.

Gonna have to agree with you on that one.. I was hoping for sub 3500CAD, but it's sounding like it'll be well north of 4000.

You had me at "can't" Mr. Haines The other thing is that I have not even scratched the surface with the Mark III I got last fall. I'll need about three more years of learnin'.
