There will never be, EVER, the perfect camera that has it all. Which is why they are making 2 versions of this camera. The 5d Mark IV will be the 4k video hybrid. And if it isn't, oh well. Buy a Sony or have your Nikon called back.
I've had many calls from my photo buddies lately. We are all thrilled with this announcement of this camera. Most of them are medium format shooters. We see this camera as a wonderful bridge between the formats and speed of the 35mm and the medium format. That is why this camera was built.
And now this thread is done. Dustylense just put the period on this subject. It's a new innovative camera designed for photographers that need a freakin lot of megapixels. :grin:
This about sums up this thread. =)I think this is their camera for the hardcore photogs, those that were saying "you think too much about video shooters and give us a compromised product, we want something that doesn't even shoot video". And, yes, if you spend time on photog forums you'll read something similar to that every other week.
So, let's wait for the video-centric products... but I'm not optimistic about those either. Canon still has to prove it is capable of increasing DR in RAW stills, as a first step towards increasing DR in video mode. And if the new rebels and the C100 mk2 are anything to go by, they're not about to launch any kind of revolution. We've had three of years of "the 5D3 is the only Canon DSLR that shoots decent video by today's standards", and I'm afraid they're going to go the same route again.
