  1. Since we know from the 1dx III that Canon can now handle oversampling, does anyone know whether oversampling more pixels , as would be done in the R5, requires more processing power compared to a sensor with less pixels or is it all the same? 

    I just don't see how they can get more processing in less space, unless they actually held back on the 1dx III.

    McKinnons video was not a very good demonstration of the 1D-X Mk3

    I agree. If you take raw files and convert them to tiffs with no highlight recovery etc, you've lost a lot of what raw has to offer. You basically just did what the camera does internally. Though it did seem very sharp and had decent DR though.

    Could be showing stills sequence shot at 20fps as per the commentary which might accentuate the warping?

    No it happens in video mode as well. I saw it in another review. It’s no good at all. Gimbal work could be messy with this. I’ll see when it gets here.

    Holy crap that ain’t looking right.. and nowhere near 1DX2’s 14ms RS. 

    Hopefully crop mode will fare better for those action shots that may require acceptable RS.

    That looks like awful rolling shutter, something I never notice on the 1DXII. Crap.

    The specs are really nice, but 13 minutes or so on a 256GB card is crazy. It's nice to have the option and it's great there's a ton of codec options in there but that's a serious cinema camera bitrate for serious productions. Maybe it'll be used as a B or crash cam on some bigger productions.
     

    I said the same thing about the 1dxII MJPEG files. 3 Years later I'm shooting weddings on it. It's important to remember that the RAW option will become more viable as time goes on and storage gets cheaper.

    The 1DX II is the kid at school who could have been president if only he did his homework.

    exactly how I feel. Such potential.

    just imagine a 5DC and 1DC line running alongside the still camera lines with all the potential magic lantern unlock .

    Ugh. So sad to think of how things could have gone! Rocking a FF 4k 5DC would be amazing

    The Bible doesn't teach anything by itself. Jesus said 'don't worship me, worship God' (Revelation 22:9). Yet many worship him anyways (same thing for Buddha). The original concept of God has been equally distorted for politics and control. God wasn't meant to be a 'vengeful/emotional' anthropomorphic being. Metaphors were used to try to describe difficult concepts. However they've been misinterpreted to fit the model of a patriarchal power structure. Jesus wasn't The son of God- he was A son of God, as we are all children of God. And in essence, we are all God co-creating reality together- that's what they really meant. This concept isn't even religious- it's obvious by itself, ipso facto. Jesus was killed to maintain a political power structure. And when I say Jesus, I mean all the different equivalent forms too which existed long before Jesus, for example Horus. Again, not focusing on the person, only the ideas, which are what's really important. People get distracted fighting over the source(s) and forget the truth in what was said (which everyone pretty much agrees with).

    The information recorded in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and New Testament is meant to help people  

     Rev22 is speaking if an angel of the lord, not Jesus. He freely accepted worship in 

    “And they that were in the boat worshipped him, saying, Of a truth you are the Son of God” (Mt. 14:33).

    The  Jews killed him for claiming to be God. “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33).

    And the Bible isnt meant to help people in some earthly way. Everyone of the apostles suffered horrible deaths and so did most of the early church. And they knew it would happen because its a promise that the world will hate the truth.

    "Thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men...

    "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret." - Matt. 6:5-6

    This has nothing to do with publicly praying in order to be praised. That's what the pharisees did. Jesus said this, but he also read and quoted scripture publicly. The two are clearly different, but I think you already know that.

    You kind of lost me when you started reciting scripture. Then I started thinking how cool it would be if Max Yuryev and Detroit Borg quoted scripture before every product review. Not really.

    Nobody quotes script to be cool, they do it to share the gospel with the lost. You just said he lost you when he read it, so it was meant for you.  Good for you Dave, nice review too!

    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.

    I think the fact that they are strange means they aren't made up. Who would make up "3k" for no reason.

    makes no sense  , rumours are false too why would Canon do that to their flagship! 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.

    Doesn't he have a 1Dx2 already ? I could totally see Canon not bringing C-Log and better codec to the 1Dx2 to force owners to get a 5D4...

    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.

     

    Naa, the 1dxII looks better than the a7sII to a lot of people. This update will put the 5dIV ahead of the 1dxII if it's true.

    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.

    75fps would be a 40% slow down for those delivering in 30p. So it's the 60fps equiv for a 24fps.

  14. 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.

    Anyone with access to both the 1DX-II (or 5D4 etc.) and the 1DC could perform a test to see how much better CLog is vs. the log-like picture styles for both dynamic range and skintones (the harder part). @Luke Mason noted the 1DC with CLog has more DR but not much more info here: 

     

    I have access to both cameras but refuse to buy a fake c-log picture profile.

    The C-log would be a welcomed improvement to the 5d mark iv imo. But it's not a deal breaker 

    No disrespect to these user made log profiles. They are great but they just don't have the same kick as the C-log.

    An improvement on the crop however would be a big bonus.

     

    I think the log would be more appreciateon on the 1dx mark ii .

    The 1dc with a dpaf improvement would be my deal choice, however I believe they are done with the camera. 

     

    DPAF starts at the sensor level. DUAL PIXEL. It's not an upgrade option on the 1dc.
