I really wonder if Canon has such thing like plan-B, or after a while they realize they have to fulfill filmmaker niche and start working on it at full speed....

Matthew19 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 This whole thing reminds me of a steve jobs quote that he said when they were adding an iPod into the iPhone - "If you don't cannibalize yourself, someone else will." Canon should have known they'd fall behind, I'm just thankful they are playing catch-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted March 28, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 28, 2017 It would be unprecedented for Canon to buck the video standards with 1080/75p. That part of the rumour seems made up. Could even be an attempt to make people reconsider their move to Sony or their GH5 order and wait for NAB. Unless the 75fps is part of a variable-frame-rate mode with in-camera conform to 24p then I just can't see it happening and the crop is not just a software / firmware thing - the hardware needs to be capable of that 5K readout as well.

So it's the 60fps equiv for a 24fps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliKMIA Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 If this is true, he 5Dmk4 sales must be really bad or Canon starts to realize how outdated their new "flagship" is to propose these emergency fixes. Either way this is pathetic and Canon deserves it. A pig with lipstick is still a pig, the 5D4 doesn't have the appropriate hardware to compete with the Panasonic and Sony. I'm certainly not going to cancel my GH5 and I'm looking forward for the Sony A7S3. Too late Canon. zetty, Kisaha and Juank 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's very little chance of it being real 2. It's still not got all the features of the GH5 or 5 axis IBIS 3. No articulated screen and no EVF 4. Worse rolling shutter. But hey. Canon badge.

And the GH5 does not give you a professional FF still camera in the package does not have superb canon AF in video does not have canon lenses (speed booster with no proper AF, thanks but no) I am angry at Canon because of their approach to Indy filmmaking wasting a big potential they had. But let's appreciate this update if real. The least it can do is shake Nikon and Sony a bit to bring us better video features soon. A 5DIV with CLog, 1.3 crop, 3K at 60fps and nice codec would be a good thing. Jn- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the bare minimum for a flagship camera in 2015-2016. Now the standard are 4k60 with no crop, IBIS and potentially 10bits. Even if this upgrade is real, Canon is still lagging far behind and it's not going to look any better with the next A7S & R camera.

This update will put the 5dIV ahead of the 1dxII if it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 some of this stuff seems made up... especially: The newer firmware will still work in non-serviced cameras, but this may result in premature temperature warnings. that sounds so un-canon like.. them always bragging about stability over higher performance. firmware specs do sound great though and could push me to upgrade from 5D3 ML if true..

Did Canon officially announce this firmware updates? It makes sense to fix the 5D first because A: there were WAY more complaints about the video features than the 1DXII and B: It's a much bigger market. Nobody likes the idea of paying for all of the photo features of the 1dxII to turn around and use it for video only. I hope they update the 1dxII afterwards, it already has the heat management to handle all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sure as hell not going to conform to 24 or 25p. Lest you forget the 1080p120 in the 1dxII conformed to...30p only in camera without audio.

HockeyFan12 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 None of this is real. These specs are completely (and obviously) made up; there are so many problems with them. Guys, this isn't happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Well hell maybe if it isn't true Canon will make it a reality LoL. They Have to be somewhat disappointed in how little love there is for the mkIV in the video community. I don't think this camera has been a run away success even with photo buyers. It cost too damn much money for one thing. $2,995.00 would have been a lot easier pill to swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
