Just read the review, it touched on both strengths and clear weaknesses when compared to the latest n greatest...but it's more of 'what have you done for me lately' BS, completely ignoring previous Canon FF bodies of which the 5Dc and 5D2 were both ground breaking non pro bodies.
The new supposed 5fps standard...what a joke.
A slanted review, yes a bit, but nothing really surprising and not damning by any means. The RAW HDR and video quibbles can probably be fixed with firmware. The video moire issue already has a 3rd party fix.
For a light weight, low cost Entry Level stills body; for us Canon devotees on a smallish budget, it hits the mark, more cross-type AF points would have been nice, but it's not a deal breaker for me. Can't wait to get one...try out that -3ev center point and will do so as soon as the price drops a tad more ...Show more →
As a 1DSm3 owner, I have some ideas about some of this. I had I think 45 AF points, I used the center. 11 is plenty if the center if accurate. Much more important is a good live view implementation.
I think my burst rate was lower, and it was plenty and I did BIF. The buffer was the real limit.
I still have not seen anyones ISO3200 I would use. My 1DS-m3 was usable with lots of nr at 1600 and not much different than my 5d3 if I did not have to crop. Cropping is what kills high iso. And full size printing is the real test of iso performance not web presentation.
I have no idea why jpg is even an option. I skip all the jpg sections of a review. I would like to see jpg and sRGB and 8 bit die.
Clean low iso image quality is great.
Never understood what people care about out of camera color. You fix color in post, ideally with a camera profile.
Full frame is important to enable good UWA lenses.
