mp! The studio and landscape worlds are weeping!
Landscape toggers diddnt bother with the 5ds with its age old DR.. try again

Many landscape toggers either jumped ship to nikon or went and grabbed a A7 series body to compliment there existing canon glass.
who let this troll in? rotfl...
A troll that owns a load of canon glass and bodies?

Im not blinded my a brand i shoot with and i am fully aware of its shortcoming.

get off your high horse and open your eyes.
 
Other than video, and assuming no significant increases in DR or high ISO performance, what is the compelling reason to upgrade from the 5D3?

If we assume these specs are correct, this looks like a small incremental upgrade to me.

Comments?
It sounds like you haven't been paying attention to recent Canon developments in other market segments. The 1DX2 has an all new sensor with improved DR. So does the 80D. The 5D4 sensor will surely have similar architecture.

Other than that, 30mp will be a moderate but decent improvement over 22mp, and 8 or 10fps will be welcome. The robust and well damped mirror/shutter from the 7D2 will be a nice improvement. The AF advances of recent years will be there. If it has a hybrid O/EVF, that will be cool, but not a game changer. Video will be significantly better but I don't care and I don't think you do either. WiFi would be nice.

So , if the DR isn't much better, it may only be an incremental update. However I think there are two things that could make the 5D4 a quantum leap - 1, if it matches or leapfrogs the D810 for DR, and 2, if it has no AA filter.
You mention the 1dx2's new sensor and improved DR.... but 13.5 is still less than the Sony A7 variations at 14, and they're all still below the Nikon's 14.4.

At 30mp, it's less than the Nikons at 36mp, and far below A7r2 at 42mp.

Given these cameras all cost the same, why would your general consumer at Best Buy pass over a 42mp or 36mp camera and opt for just 30mp?

The Canon specs as rumored are laughable when lined up against Nikons and Sonys today. This "flagship" 30mp camera will be a joke in 4 years after another Nikon/Sony refresh... when say they hit 50mp.

Leaf shutters, fast sync speeds, built-in ND or polarizes, built in RF flash control ... those are things that no other DSLR has.
Canon has a 50mp camera though!
Which has worse Dr and can't shoot above 6400 iso
Yeah... just imagine all the failed pictures that could have been produced at ISO 25600 and been 50 mp! The studio and landscape worlds are weeping!

UGGGHHHHH!

I was commenting on the part of your post talking about ISO above 6400. Honestly, I don't give a s*** what people do when it comes to camera selection, but yeah... I'll point out the absurdity in comments people make. And that's where you come in.
There are many scenarios for a landscaper to shoot high ISO.

Jesus. some of you guys will defend everything canon laps infront of you. They could have released the 5dsr wityh just ISO 100 and you would still say exact same thing.

If this is how most of the canon shooters act then no wonder why Canon dont try harder in each iteration of there bodies.

there's very few instances of needing to shoot past 6400 for landscape.

and if you did .. DR isn't a problem.

the only relevant lacking area of DR with with 5Ds is really under ISO 400 or so.

Hey... I criticize Canon as much (probably more) than most people. Unlike some though, I don't criticize because I'm in love with another brand. To me, a criticism or complaint should only be levied when you think someone (or company, or whatever) can do better, and isn't. I've been in various customer service oriented roles my entire life and I always view a complaint as a compliment. It's a customer saying "not only would I like you to do better, I think you CAN do better".

The ISO 6400 limit is a minor annoyance at best (for me) - anything higher would be pushed in camera anyway, and I can do that just as easily myself with the RAW.

I guess if you shoot high ISO jpegs all the time it could be a major inconvenience , but to me it's just a dumb arbitrary thing that Canon put in that rates a "oh well" at best.

however .. it's amusing.. it will be the fastest full frame non pro (1 series or 5x series) camera from nikon or canon.

I honestly doubt it.. I have yet to see where canon actually cares.

I suspect more for battery life.

both the 1DX and the 5Ds aren't really known for battery performance.

The 1dx is known to have the best battery life. it has double the battery capacity.

I think that if the fps was close to 10fps, it would affect the sales of the 1dx2.

the 1Dx Mark II certainly does not when compared to the competition.

1,210 shots CIPA rating is pretty bad considering the size of the battery.

so what if it affects the sales of the 1Dx Mark II .. i doubt canon makes any less profit margin on the 1Dx versus the 5d series.

there has been no credible statements from canon or anywhere that canon considers that a problem.

it is less than I wanted, but perhaps they wanted to improve on the 5Ds's 700 CIPA rating.

It's not a question of what we wanted it's just that they closely tag competition and the D750 makes 6.5 fps at 24Mp and its 2 years old.

It is also just a single fps from the 5DMKIII whereas, with this one the jump was 2.1 fps from version II.

It just does not make sense...

It makes complete sense to me! :-)

I've been saying for at least a month if not two that 7 frames per second is where this camera would come in, in my opinion. It's half of the framerate of the 1dx Mark II just like the 5D Mark 3 is half the framerate of the 1dx. In terms of specifications and usability it is an increase over the previous model and increases the usability of the camera in various situations without infringing too closely upon other lines. I conceded that 8 frames per second was possible but I literally laughed out loud at the people who suggested 9 frames per second and the people suggesting 10 frames per second I thought were absolutely out of their minds.
Yep, indeed. 8fps would have been realistic if the resolution had been 24Mpix. Maaaaybe even 28Mpix. But at 30Mpix 7fps is a sensible number from the bandwidth and buffer size point of view.

I've been saying for at least a month if not two that 7 frames per second is where this camera would come in, in my opinion. It's half of the framerate of the 1dx Mark II just like the 5D Mark 3 is half the framerate of the 1dx. In terms of specifications and usability it is an increase over the previous model and increases the usability of the camera in various situations without infringing too closely upon other lines. I conceded that 8 frames per second was possible but I literally laughed out loud at the people who suggested 9 frames per second and the people suggesting 10 frames per second I thought were absolutely out of their minds.
Yep, indeed. 8fps would have been realistic if the resolution had been 24Mpix. Maaaaybe even 28Mpix. But at 30Mpix 7fps is a sensible number from the bandwidth and buffer size point of view.
well going by bandwith no.

5ds is 250MP/sec = 8.33 fps and that's with DiGiC 5+'s

unless canon is now 16 bit raw ;)

is a marketing mistake.
but I'm sure you know Canon's target audience better than they do.
This shouldn't be the case, however, it looks like it could be. Since I've been in sales and marketing nearly my entire adult life, I'd say this about any company releasing a product that does not match or beat the competition in key categories or doesn't smoke the price of the competitor's offering.
