As I said - I'm willing to absorb system transition costs.

CPS? Yes. I got the nice package sent to me after I bought the 5D, but I never used the service. Didn't need to.

So how are these compelling reasons for me to stick around? Or did I miss your point?

They do - selling and buying another brand amounts to a loss of money and getting used to another system :-> ... and then there's their cps service that's said to be good in comparison to what Nikon & Sony provide.

I'm a professional wedding cinematographer so what I would like is totally based upon what I would use it for which may really be a niche camera. But I would love it if they came out with a camera that would be perfect for my needs and those who have similar type professions. Here it goes:

Canon's New Ultimate Wedding Videographer’s Camera

1. Mirorrless Full Frame with full EF Lens Compatibility
2. 1 pound or under in weight (I glidecam a lot of my footage so less weight would be ideal)
3. Longer Battery Life for video recording
4. Built in 16GB of storage and SD or Micro SD card slot
5. 4K video recording at 24P/30P
6. 2.7 video recording at 24P/30P/60P
7. 1080 video recording at 24P/30P/60P/120P
8. Dual Pixel Live View Autofocus
9. WiFi Live View compatible with iPhone. iPhone app can control all camera functions
10. Camera emits it’s own WiFi Signal (similar to GoPro)
11. Ability to Turn off on-camera Live View when iPhone app is accessed to extend battery life
12. Timelapse function and control built into camera
13. Improved dynamic range with good low light usability (video usable up to 12,800 ISO)
14. Tilt Live View Screen
15. 3.5” Live View Screen
16. Priced at around $3,500 or less (I use 4 cams on jobs and don't want to spend more than $14,000)

I'm currently shooting with 5D MK3s and this would be a awesome upgrade. Unfortunately I don't see it happening unless Sony comes out with this first, makes a lot of money, a lot of people move over, and then maybe Canon will do it. I love Canon glass so it's hard for me to switch but I don't plan on upgrading unless I can get 75%-80% of the upgrade features I like.

I know they don't owe me personally any kind of answer. I'm just one old man amongst millions and millions of camera buyers. I'm just one miniscule data-point that illustrates someone jumping ship and moving to something else. I'm willing to absorb system transition costs. But... I just got back from le Salon de la Photo and, frankly, the people working behind the Canon counter can't give any clear direction. No whitepapers. No market analysis that supports Canon's product decisions. No clear image quality advantage. Nothing.

I realize I've already offered a reply to this subject... but... I recently picked up a Sony A6000 and, well, my 5D MkII/24-105L kit is being sold. I used the 5D setup for 6 years and it's been my "go-to" system for all my serious shots (in-studio, on location, model/concept shots, product shots, etc). No longer. I've downsized (past-tense).

So... what body do I want Canon to release next (I think that was the original question)? I want a new system. It's a tall order, I know. My list of wants -

  • Sony mirrorless body size with in-body IS
  • Sony, Leica, Voightlander, Sigma EX DN E sized lenses
  • AF performance equal to the A6000
  • 10FPS, just like the A6000
  • At least 46mpixel in a FF mirrorless offering (coming soon from Sony)
  • downloadable software applications that run in-camera, like Sony's Intervolometer app

If Sony can put this kind of performance into a small, robust package _and_ offer image-making creativity selections, filters, and downloadable software packages, why not Canon?

Because they see impossible. Did you not notice their recent campaign explaining this to us?
