I think we know what to expect AF wise, as it\'s using a 1D X class AF, but IQ was the most important improvement required IMO and there is nothing to suggest it will be much better than 70D at this stage. There is yet again now new sensor tech, just minor evolution. But we should wait for the tests to start. I\'ll most likely get one and what other options do we have anyway as Nikon looks to have given up on a D300s successor despite rumours of a D400. Other than sensor, specs are terrific
Basically other than shooting stills at ISO100-400 (and a little at ISO800) the sensor should be very good and other than for video image quality which have some doubts about even beyond just lacking 4k, the specs are awesome. So if you don\'t shoot video and can ignore the high DR scenes and tend to shoot mostly in other scenarios, it\'s pretty ace. So it\'s a mix of behind the times and totally ace, grand slam.
The 5D4 is a tricky game though. It simply 100% has to either have 4k video and also either 1080pRAW or at least Cxx level 1080p in every last way OR an exmor-like sensor. It really needs both. Without either it just seems DOA. Without the video improvements, you may as well stick to a 5D3 for video then. And for stills all you\'d get it going from maybe 23 to 39MP, which is nice, but this late in the game, without better per pixel quality, more DR and better colors and all....
The 7D2 can get away with the older low ISO performance and even the 4k, although it;s a shame, the rest is totally amazing (barring some 1D3 AF type fiasco).
The 5D4 no way no how can get away without matching exmor and having a really high quality 4k 10-12bits 4:2:2 no wax-works (at the very least it has to have at least one of those two things at the super minimum).
