Why I think we wont see a mirror in next pro body for Canon

The A9 has changed the game and I think the new up coming Nikon means the 1Dx line is going to end sooner v/s later for Canon shooters

Wanna know why camera sales are so flat....No One knows whats going to happen

Why not just support both mirrored and mirror-less? There is room for both. Canon's not ready to abandon the EF line just yet and there are times a mirrored camera is a better option.

Looks to me that Nikon is going ti dully commit to mirrorless

Canon is constantly behind the curve for camera bodies but ahead of the game with optics....Mirrored cameras are a done deal very very soon....My suggestion is to wait until the MFG you choose to use has what is right for your needs......Tough game ahead for everyone....Sony has the body and the better technology....Canon has the optics but really lags behind Sony with the camera features and technology......Nikon just seems to be the steady ever-ready bunny in the whole game......My suggestion is to really educate yourself and invest wisely....next 2 yrs will be a roller coaster ride...be smart.

So what is the point of speculating about speculation?

Exactly!! Speculating and debating is always entertaining.

What I like best about this fresh take is the definition of "pro body".

Ahahaha

shoots fast, clean ISO and dual cards.....Nuff said for a layman


""" But advantages of the D5 over the Z7 include continuous shooting (12fps vs 9fps), maximum ISO (100-102400 vs 64-25600), dual card slots (the Z7 only has one), and wired LAN support"""

Who you calling layman?

I think dual cards is how Canon defines it. Probably Nikon too as the 750 does a good enough job to qualify.

So if I'm reading you right, your call is between the 5D series replacement and the 1D series replacement coming next?

We've done this before, but the ability to double or triple down is okay by me, and apparently you too. lol.

It all boils down to the processing power Canon can squeeze out of Digic and its own development team. I don't have faith they can focus track and shoot at 1D levels on a mirrorless camera.

I dont have faith they will get the eye focus anywhere remotely close to what Sony does

especially after the last update. Just not sure what they will do with the 1D series. But if the D5 is going mirrorless....you can bet the 1Dx wont be far behind....not what it can do will be a really interesting story

This is what Canon makes you want to think to pad their wallets. Their is not room for both after you have used an A9.

I'de like for someone to explain to me what I'm missing out. I can point out a few glass of the A9, however the flaws of DSLR's will be much more offending. At this point, if I were given free DSLR's + lenses of choice, I wouldn't know how to put them to use, ide be open for an argument how they would be useful.

Is there really room for both?

I'm watching the dLSR market collapse. It's the attack of the cell phone cameras. First they came for the digital P&S, now they are coming for the Rebel market.

But seriously.....The camera market went through a wholly unprecedented bump in sales from ~2000 to perhaps 2012. This bump was a unique combination of new technology obsoleting a bunch of stuff, while also bringing in a huge group of new users.

But it's over now. Serious photographers all have gear and do not need to upgrade, because what they have does the job. And all those new people who were shooting film P&S cameras in the 90's are now finding that their phone does what they want.

I think the market for serious ILC cameras will be small and shrinking. I do not think manufacturers will have the luxury of sustaining multiple lines of equipment at support levels that serious users expect. I also think some of the major players could exit the market.

I agree. Nikon was just over taken by Sony and they are now #3

Lots of rumors about Nikon going Bye Bye. They are renting Sony technology right now. I look for them to combine with Sony and move a lens line up into 1 company to push canon

Sony needs quality zooms. Nothing they have touches Canons nor Nikons current L Zooms

Most guys I know have a similar prime line up as you do because they dont want to mess with the adapter that impedes performance

Sony is not there yet with glass if you compare direct to Canon and Nikon.

as far as camera and what you are missing- Weather seal, build, Ergos, and a friendly menu system.
