Just humor but I really want to know what's the catch. 

Just humor but I really want to know what's the catch. 

Canon have been working on 8K for a long ass time. In fact they first presented their prototype at Canon Expo in 2015:
Canon Expo 2015: 8K Cinema EOS technology demo camera recording to four external recorders
Some footage even appeared last year:
..and here is the official page of the mammoth housed in what most thought might be the C300 mk3:
https://www.canon-europe.com/photokina/8k-camera/
"Capture exceptional detail with our first 8K camera in a Cinema EOS system."
Now what is sort of mind-boggling to me is that they are finally introducing this tech in a consumer camera first! 🤯
 

It's funny Canon always seems to be on the "Guilty until proven innocent" side. I mean I know it's hard to swallow for some because Canon has had a poor rep in the past, but please take a look at the 1DX3 specs. 
To me it's a clear indicator Canon have changed strategies, and seriously upped the ante when it comes to video specs.
Pretty sure they're on a mission to sweep up the hybrid floor and take back their lead position.
In any case, this seems a solid camera on both photo & video side even with the unknowns .

A7S3 Dev Team: Ok, back to the drawing boards folks.
Seriously, I don't see how Sony or anyone is going to compete with this in the near future.
Nikon took a hard L yesterday with the D6 announcement. Now Canon is here to finish them off.
This camera feels like the true successor of the 5D3 (let's just forget the 5D4/EOS R).
No more Touch Bar, joystick & scroll-wheel are back. Even the Rate button is there, hallelujah!
Canon is back for revenge with the 1DX3 & R5. 
I'm just glad I stuck with them throughout the years (which will be regarded as the 'dark ages' lol).

Yes, see what I said before. Basically it will be 8K for the headlines and to have the "8K ready" sticker on the box...

IBIS is real and glorious !

If these are the actual specs, it's really a little S1h(even better I'd say). Good codecs, good resolutions and framerates, let's see how good is IBIS and ergonomics but for now it's really exciting.

Thanks, this will be a pocket video monster !! I don't know how you have access to all those informations but anyway, thanks !

I don't know why people didn't reacted on my post, not a big deal, the important thing is really how Canon is confident and how excited they are about their new products. I've never seen it (from them) before. 

If Panasonic can ever get their auto focus together 🤔

10-bit internal C-Log, IBIS, and 4K no crop with decent rolling shutter And DPAF and I’m in for less than $4K.
Dont care about 8K. 5.5K RAW is a “nice to have” but mostly likely impractical with media storage costs but could change.

nobody in the entire history of marketing, ever talked their product down . Of course their going to be excited, excitement generates hype, hype gets everyone in a bit of a tizz and out buying stuff. Canon probably want to sell a lot of product before someone works out where its been gimped 🙄
Now before you canon fanbooys start lighting flaming torches and pick up your pitchforks i also have a canon, albeit 10 year old canon but it still works and with magic lantern onboard i can do all sorts of things canon never intended.
What canon really need to do is collaborate with magic lantern and produce something extraordinary, something really game changing. But i suspect thats way to left of field for them to consider. For you guys i hope that canon really do lift their game, as for me i have the bmd p4k its enough for me maybe further down the track i may look at another still camera, maybe not.

Ok just to add my two cents. As I said in another thread I talked to a Canon rep on tuesday and he told me that on the video side the announcement that will come in February (he told me specifically before March)  will have me happier than ever. I was telling him that I loved the EOS R on the stills part but on the video though it is better than advertised all across the internet, it lacks some really important things. And he smiled, really confidently, and told me to not worry at all, to just wait for the next announcement.
Then today I spoke with a Canon Ambassador, over 30mn on the phone. We talked about her next projects etc and I couldn't help myself to ask for advice, i know she's one of the early professional adopters of the EOS R, and I told her I wanted to buy a second body, I was waiting for the next iteration of the R line, but was hesitant to not buy right now a second EOS R. She just told me this : "you better wait! I signed a NDA so I can't tell nothing but you really better wait. Something big is coming" She insisted on the "Big"... I speak to some Canon reps or this ambassador from time to time and got some insights sometime. But never, never I saw them this confident about a coming product. 
So yes, something really big is coming, and I think it will be a game changer.

I’m really interested to see where the actual specs land.
If it offers 4K/60p no crop and pixel binned then that’s good enough for me.
4K120p with a heavy crop and no AF is fine with me.
Oversampled 4K24/30p would be amazing.
Dual pixel in every mode up to 60p would be killer as well as roughly 13.5 stops DR to compete with S1H.

Maybe its true, they just didn't leaked the crop factor yet 🤣

 

And for people still unconvinced this is actually happening, this is what CanonRumorsGuy posted on Twitter :
 

 
Wich raised a question from a user. Watch the answer :
 

 
I think it's safe bet to assume that CanonRumorsGuy had new information he will double check and share soon (according to the emoji).

Exactly the same I did ! Ditched Sony last year tired of trying to grade Slog on an 8 bits codec... Even C-Log in 8 bits is way better and more solid thant S-Log in sony mirrorless. I came back to canon and I really knew they would commit fully on mirrorless bodies. 
Tamron, Sigma and Samyang/Ronkinon will port their lenses, it's just a matter of time...

Good times...

I am glad I ditched Sony and go back to Canon last year, all I need now is the tasty new body 😎
But man those new R5/R6 definitely make my R look like dinosaur for sure, but R still producing pleasing image with minimum tweaking.
Now just need Tamron to port their lens to RF and that will be perfect.. not all of us need big expensive lens.
My interest for Red Komodo 6K drop to 0%

If this is true Sony and Panasonic are going to have a real problem with all the pixel peepers going back to Canon.
For us that don't care we can get a good deal for a A7S2, GH5S, S1H or C100ii in the near future...

Yeah my guess is 8K TimeLapse like Nikon introduced some time ago..

Yeah in Bastille. I had planned to go but something came up. I don't regret now with these new rumoured products! My next camera will have IBIS, that much is for sure..

Yeah, and then at the product announcement you read all the ***

*8K at 30fps: Timelapse mode rendering only
*4k120: 2.3x crop, AF disabled, 2 seconds recording limit, converted to 30fps only
* 7-8 stops IBIS: when combined with 1.8x EIS crop, AF available
$8995
That's being said, if they finally give us clean 4k60, no crop, full sensor read out, no binning or skipping, and not BS crippling, I'll order it right away at $3-4k. Hopefully with some sort of articulated screen and not the size of brick.
 

Then cool and thx for checking it out!
