Did Canon deliver? Let the poll begin.
I would buy one just for the -6 EV focusing - low light AF is one area where every Sony I've tried fails miserably, especially with longer lenses.
-6EV focusing is a pretty huge advantage to have, I thought the previous best was low light AF'er -4EV with a Nikon body (D5??). I'd be interested to see where the PDAF and CDAF cutoffs are if the AF works the same other mirrorless systems. I know Canon has the dual pixel AF I really don't know much about. I can't understand why the initial reception to these systems is so negative. 5DIV sensor in a new mirrorless mount with -6EV focusing and a 28-70 f/2 zoom and 58 f/1.2 prime seems like pretty killer kit for low light event shooting and portraiture. The lenses are going to be expensive but the body price is quite reasonable. Doesn't it have IBIS with native lenses too? What don't people like
Dual pixel AF is pure phase-detect according to a Canon video I saw. I'm very suspicious of the -6 EV stat.
Even if it is down to -6EV in CDAF only it is still industry leading by a huge margin, two full stops. Pair that with an industry leading ultra fast f/2 zoom and a f/1.2 prime with native IBIS and that is killer kit(low light AF, fast native glass, native IBIS). I shot a couple low light events with CDAF only camera and it's not that bad with fast glass. Fuji GFX and Hassy X1D are CDAF only. Previous leaders for low light focusing were -4EV(Nikon) and -3EV(Fuji) not sure where Sony is but probably right around there.
