    Sony A6300 was released 2 1/2 years ago, you can buy 5 of them for one EOS-R, and it has less of a crop

    It's time we also held the so-called reviewers responsible for driving the hype-train for handicapped technology for the sake of their pennies in affiliate links. Calling these things "reviews" is fake news. When you're flown out and dined in Hawaii it's not a review, it's a rim job.

    Well put, Andrew. Thank you.
    As one person put it, it is us, the consumers, that end up footing the bill for these events and the nauseating, sugar-coated reviews we get from it later. The extra $300 on the EOS-R body covers the cost of this dishonest extravaganza.

    Wrong. I would have bought one if not for the crop. I bet you Andrew would have as well. The crop and lack of 120fps is a joke in 2018. I could even forgive the lack of 4k60p and extra memory slot. But not the crop and 120....

    100% agree with @Andrew Reid article.This camera is a rip off as is Canon. 
    I disagree with people who disagree. It should not remain silent and in 2018 consumers should not allow such a brand to perform like this. 
    Can't believe someone can buy an Eos R. You like stills, buy a Z7 with way better IQ and specs. You want video, get a Nikon, Sony or Panasonic. Canon is far behind in 95% of stuff. They got AF that's all and it's not like Z7 and A7III AF is bad... Stop saying you have Canon lenses you can adapt so an Eos R can be useful. That's how the company got your balls secured, selling you the lens then for 10 years you buy their absolute shit cameras one after the other, like if you were in jail. Just sell those god damn lens and be done with this scam company .... How can one even make a choice based on the fact he has lens, who told you not to sell them. I changed 5 times camera systems in the last couple of years, didn't have any issue with that at all. 

    @mercer you comment is a non sense, we are here to discuss cameras. People spend time shooting do not worry for them. That does not prevent them to speak and debate about cameras here. BTW you have 5630 posts on EOSHD, are you not out into the world with you camera shooting...?

    On the contrary, numerous impartial observers following an evaluative trip to Las Vegas concluded that the A7iii was the "complete" package.

    So why would anyone buy a C200 then? Crappy raw and better battery life for only $5,000 more? That's not how Canon rolls....

    Need low-light and better AF to be more video-centric and merit the upgrade (especially if the price is higher). An integrated battery grip would be my personal request (a la the 1dx).

    Sony have a 42MP sensor and at least they gave us a choice -
    Full frame sensor readout using pixel binning for 4K without crop
    Super 35mm crop from 5K sensor area
    With Canon they have a 30MP sensor and they are doing in 4K mode -
    A 1.74 crop only
    And a lack of Canon LOG is silly.
    This is a camera with a 5 year shelf life and it leaves them seriously exposed to competitors in that time frame to come...
    All that the others need to sort out is their own Dual Pixel AF as well implemented and as user friendly as on the 5D Mark IV.

    forofilms reacted to swithdrawn in 5DIV full spec and full image leak   
    You're right, people aren't seeing the whole picture. They're seeing an extremely cropped picture. It's fine if you like the XC10 and if you like the 5DIV and they fulfill your needs. But seriously it's 2016 and yes I need the ability to change lenses and yes I need at least APS-C and yes it's reasonable to expect this in a $3500 dollar camera body. The fact that Canon are performing acrobatics to protect their cinema line while the competition leaves them in the dust is infuriating to everyone with huge Canon glass investment. Canon bodies have their strengths with color and reliability, but it doesn't matter how great this camera ends up being in the real world, the crop is simply a deal breaker.

    Yeah it is over.
    What a shame the 5D Mark II never got a proper sequel to excite video users. It was such a remarkable moment in filmmaking tools. A democracy in the making.
    Unfortunately Canon's marketing and margins killed the dream almost as soon as it started.
    Cinema EOS is all about extracting massive margins.
    The photography stuff has peaked, it is all down hill in terms of sales from now on in the age of the smartphone.
    I am happy in the hybrid video/stills niche as we have plenty to look forward to from the other manufacturers...... So maybe it is time to get over the hurt of the past 5 years and move on.

    I don't care about the Sony color brigade, so much of what I see here is the same mushy resolution and blown out highlights that made me sell the Mark III in the first place. Say what you want about the colours, but when someone nails SLOG on the A7RII or SII, it looks stunning.

    What a joke! Here it is anounced:

    This is extraordinary, their press release is completely video oriented. They say that they listen to the video customer and brought the best video specs.
    how funny that is... Yet no C-LOG, nor word on crop, prehistoric codec while they put a real one in the XC10. They take us for pigeons so pigeons can go and get it but I will pass!
    Very sad to see those confirmed specs.

    Nikon has Flat profile, which is amazing. 
    They do not have C-LOG because they did not develop it in the first place and they did the Flat profile. 
    My point was, Canon already has developed C-LOG. It is there, it exists, do you get that? So no reason not to put it in the 5D except market protection. 

    Canon stinks. I can't wait for them to die like Kodak did, it will be well deserved. 
    5 years we wait their camera to get nothing. They could have done 4k FF with the 300mbps codec of the X10 and CLOG and the 5DIV would have been an amazing camera for video and photo. Just 2 specs, that are ALREADY existing on canon products. 2 easy specs. Fuck that seriously, they take us for pigeons and they are right to do so. Because the thing is people will still buy their shit.
