Re: Official: Canon 5DS, 5DS R and 11-24mm lens released!
Oh brother! Not even a mention of more DR in this release so it\'s probably just a scaled up 7D2 sensor!
[EDIT: it\'s practically confirmed that it is just a scaled up 7D2 sensor with a new CFA array! ]
It doesn\'t even offer more speed in crop mode like Nikons do! A Nikon FF can give you high MP in FF for landscapes and then high fps and high reach for field sports and wildlife in cropped modes.
The video is even lower spec than the 5D2 never mind 5D3 never mind a 5D3 with ML! Wow no 4k, not even 10bits, not 4:2:2, no zebras, no focus peaking, ML won\'t work on it for many months if ever, no 1080P RAW. For all we know it is riddled with aliasing too like the 70D video.
So let me get this, compared to my 5D3 I get: worse fps, worse SNR (?), worse video quality, worse video usability features, worse video audio quality, the same old 2007 DR (?) and the only things better about it are the two times the MP, possibly a bit better color and better metering (but still no spot linked to AF point!)
So we are supposed to pay more than the 5D3 intro cost and get every aspect worse other than for DR (which is likely the same) and just two times the MP?
And the thing is I could\'ve totally overlooked the whole video aspect on this had it been the true stills beast we expected.
