A Canon DSLR First Coming to EOS 5D Mark IV [CR2]

[Mac Duderson]

Dang someone beat me to it. I was going to say the AF Eye Control thingy like in the EOS 3. Only done in a SLR body but not a DSLR body yet.
I personally have the EOS 3 as my 1VHS backup body for weddings and NEVER use the Eye Control though. Cool feature in theory but I never found it that reliable practically in real life fast shooting situations. But hopefully if they do add it the tec today will be better. Could be fun.

If ECF makes a comeback (and works well), I'll preorder this damn thing. And I was planning to wait a solid 6-12 months to buy it.

ECF
DPAF (coupled with a touchscreen because otherwise it's not nearly as useful)
Off sensor ADC
Anti Flicker
Metering tied to AF point

yes please!

...
Software based tilt/shift

yuck

Just want to put on the record that I agree with Dilbert this once. Never thought it would happen. But it did. ;P

 

[IglooEater]

How about a new High Dynamic Range, ISO Invariant, 48 ____pixel Sony-type sensor!! Nah, it would go against their "glacial innovation pace" philosophy!

Minor typo above, I'm presuming... :

- A

Sorry, I don't see any typo (got an A in Copy Editing/Proofreading from NYU!) ;-)

Dose NYU stood for Nincompoopy Yokelish University? Do they hand out 'A' grades like candykorn on Haloweeen?

I left a little hint for you up there.

Neuro, tactful as always..

Well, you can get a phone with a camera how about a camera with a phone!!!Cheers

Well, you can get a phone with a camera how about a camera with a phone!!!Cheers

~6-7 years ago I bought a Sony phone which was closer to a camera with a phone than the other way around. I still have it somewhere here.

I miss having the folders autogenerate based on the new day in my Powershot. 8)

A gig or so of extra internal memory that can be filled exclusively at the ALL BRAND NEW CANON APP STORE.

Yes, now you can install all those apps that clutter up your phone on your camera too, but just a fraction less than many times the price.

Two things:

1) This "leaking" of non-information is getting ridiculous. It strikes me as nothing more than click bait and a cheap way to drive up website traffic;

2) As far as "features" goes, the only one that makes sense is in-camera AFMA. Canon should have been first with this, given that DPAF is a natural for it and it should have been done on the 1D X II. Fortunately for Canon, Nikon's implementation is a joke. Which is why it would be accurate to call this a first for DSLRs.

All of the other suggestions being floated are either not new, not realistic or obscure geekware that would be of no interest to most customers and no value in marketing the 5D IV.

Illuminating buttons

 

[Bennie_CanonShooter]

i would guest (want) - 16 bit RAW with new CR3

 

[MrToes]

Illuminating buttons

Illuminating buttons sound like a good idea! How about a hole for the nose? LOL

 

[Bennymiata]

What about if it came with a 1-1000mm F1.0 lens thrown in for free?
Now THAT would be a first!

Seriously though, lit buttons at night and eye controlled focus would be very handy.

 

[Ryananthony]

I have never had an issue knowing where the buttons are on my camera at night. Does it not become muscle memory at some point?

 

[Mr Majestyk]

First place in DxO sensor rankings

Internal RAW video with global shutter

Or maybe it is only something like focus peaking lol


Sooner or later they should start adding electronic shutter as well, it would be useful even with its current limitations (although that's something where the OVF is just useless, but the Live View AF is quite decent now)

I'll second the global shutter for video!

If it were a global shutter they'd be screaming from the rooftops about it, not playing it off as something that's just nice to have.

I'm still surprised they didn't have an RT commander built into everything that was released after the radio controlled flash came out, so that's my best bet (and something that might even get me to buy an RT flash if they put RT commanders in enough bodies).

 

[WIDEnet]

If it really is automatic AFMA, it wouldn't be a first on Canon cameras...Magic Lateran has had it for three full years now, and on cameras well older than twice that. Though coupling it with PDAF on the sensor would be a nice touch, taking out the one semi-auto step in the process (activating and deactivating CDAF).

 

[eosuser1234]

The ability to lock the mirror up and put a short focal length lens like an EF-M lens inside?

yes, first ever DSLR/ MIRRORLESS combo camera.
Perfect.

 

[RBC5]

Eye Control - agreed.

In-camera battery charging - agreed...been wanting that for years.

CA and distortion correction for third party lenses would be nice.

Also: Photon torpedoes, while cloaked. People would notice.

 

[vscd]

Is this a first in DSLR's? Or a "first"... like how Apple claims to have invented everything?

Apple DID invent everything: a usable computer, usable printer (Postscript), usable music player, usable internet-in-your-pocket device, usable tablet, usable Dick Tracy watch, usable music/movie downloads. OK, they're working on usable cloud-synching, you got me there!

You know the difference between inventing and making something useable, based on existing inventions?
