Why did they not hold off releasing mk4 untill this new design was ready for use?
Because the 5D4 is a stills camera and this would be for their cinema lineup.

It is very frustrating watching manufacturers limit things that are simple matters of programming that even a novice programmer could implement or change, if they had the source code, just to stick it to us to make sure we upgrade later. 1/250 is completely useless to me; I shoot jumpy little birds that turn into blur-fests at 1/250. IIRC, the 7D2 also has full-stop granularity with some or all limits (haven't looked in a while). Exposure compensation in auto ISO mode (like 1Dx got with firmware upgrade) I found that very useful with the 7D2; on previous cameras, I had to switch from M to Av mode to use compensation when a sunlit white bird was against a dark, shaded background. I don't shoot for the JPEG, but ISO/EC compensation is also necessary for JPEG-dependent shooters. DPAF and 4k don't interest me since I don't shoot video. DP raw files don't interest me since I don't use Canon's software and they effectively cut the buffer in half. This implementation of 4k is more like 30 4096*2160 JPEGs per second, which you can either use like a flip-book or separate out the frames. My aging Casio EX-FH25 does something like that; it can make a flip-book on the review image of up to 30 JPEG frames as fast as 40 fps at 9MP, and you get to choose how many of those frames are before the full shutter press, and how many are after it. This can be extremely useful, even though its not RAW - you can wait for action to happen, and fully press the shutter button afterward, and get the whole sequence. To do it with your choice of optics and a low-noise sensor is something the Casio can't do.

They just announced today having developed it, which probably means the patents were only just approved. They're probably years from actually getting it fully tested and integrated into a camera. This is going to be a major camera redesign factor involving a great many subsystems. Might see it on the next 1D. TANSTAAFL--The Only Unbreakable Rule in Photography

sploo premature adulation More info | don1163 wrote in post #18112348 ![]() Just out of interest, does anyone know if it's possible to change the video codec by way of a firmware update ? Maybe Canon could change it in a future update or Magic Lantern could come up with something.. Possibly. Real time video compression really needs hardware acceleration, so it would be dependant on the chips having enough performance to do the relevant processing. It's not impossible that their MPEG hardware couldn't process enough pixels at a high enough rate in order to do 4K MPEG, and if that's the case then no amount of new firmware will make it possible. Charlie wrote in post #18112362 ![]() With a fast action sequences and a naturally faster camera, you will hit buffer limits more often. Faster cameras change your behavior a bit. Indeed. I find that taking bursts is quite limiting on the 5D3, and waiting for the buffer to clear is a pain. TeamSpeed wrote in post #18112373 ![]() That was true when I posted that link earlier, but supposedly now a file was found that had about 13.6 on it. More info will come out once this camera hits the mainstream testers. Lots of folks were hoping to get closer than 1 stop away from Sony DR. I was hoping that the combination of newer tech, sensor size, and MP would give us something higher than the 1Dx2 in DxOMark "print DR" terms. Still, 13.6 would be nearly 2 stops of low ISO DR improvement over the 5D3, which doesn't make it class leading, but will make DR issues much less likely to bite in real world scenarios.

I've never hit the buffer on the 5D3 when using CF only but using raw to both cards I have hit the buffer due to the SD limitation.

I'm sure they have to tech to do both, but cant give out all the candy just yet. filmuser wrote in post #18112411 ![]() http://flip.it/40Otpk ![]() Why did they not hold off releasing mk4 untill this new design was ready for use? global shutter has been talked about for a while now, just hasnt materialized for whatever reason.

IIRC, the 7D2 also has full-stop granularity with some or all limits (haven't looked in a while). I am a bit confused, the 7D2 can set a minimum shutter between 1 second and 1/8000th in auto ISO settings. NEW: Minimum Shutter Speed now extends to 1/8000th second One aspect of Auto ISO is pre-setting the system so that when light drops and shutter speed (in P or Av mode) is forced below a pre-defined level, the camera will automatically raise ISO and preserve at least that minimum shutter speed. EOS 7D Mark II now allows the user to pre-set anywhere from 1/8000th of a second to 1 full second as that minimum shutter speed. Previous EOS cameras limited the fastest “minimum” speed to 1/250th of a second, which often wasn’t sufficient to avoid blurs when shooting moving subjects, and/or working with telephoto lenses. What happens if you set 1/8000th of a second? The EOS 7D Mark II will simply do its best to always shoot at 1/8000 in P or Av modes, varying ISO (and aperture, in P-mode) to do so, and only allowing slower speeds when you’ve reached your pre-set maximum available ISO, and declining light levels mean slower shutter speeds are the only answer to continue to get proper exposure.

We have only really increased the ISO performance from these bodies perhaps 1 to perhaps 1.5 stops (which I think is really pushing it). The pace at improving the high ISO has slowed down pretty dramatically. However with the last 3 cameras, Canon finally addressed (at least partially) the noise and DR issues due to the electronic noise in the shadows. That is actually quite significant, but perhaps is only a concern for a subset of the shooters vs those that desire cleaner high ISO. There is still plenty of room for improving noise character (noises other than shot noise, as shot noise character is immutable, and very nice anyway). For very small extremely-high ISO images, the visible differences in read noise character can become tremendous for two cameras with the same DxOMark score. The D5 is a good example; it has very low high-ISO noise DxOMark-wise, but the character is pretty poor. You see more large patterns and little randomness when you downsample ISO 3.28 million to a small web size. It would be much, much better if it had totally-random read noise. I suspect that going forward, there will be less and less ISO gains, just tweaks to what we have today, and instead all efforts will be on the features of the different models. Perhaps they can work out a real 25 and 50 ISO level instead, and start going the other way. ![]() Light-based ISO 12 (IOW, ISO 12 that isn't a 3-stop ND of ISO 100) would be possible if pixels could be reset very quickly after reading them, to create cumulative exposure, without visible blackout in exposures with motion. You could get one RAW file from the cumulative exposure, or all frames might be saved so that you could leave out just one, like one where someone else's flash went off. Most current implementations of added exposures ("night" modes, IS extenders) have significant blackout, though.
