Headline features for photo:
- NO MP increase – well done Canon, that’s really appreciated 🙂
- 61point AF – much needed 🙂
- 6fps shooting – likewise a big improvement over mk2
- Dual card SD/CF slots
- HDR mode? Gimmick or genuinely useful? We’ll see what it’s like in practice…
- Likewise the in-camera rating function…
Negatives:
Update, there’s two, not one. I missed the lack of flip LCD screen, really very surprised not to see that incorporated. Come on Canon – that’s really important for video…!
Previously… Only one – that £3k price tag… (it’s available for pre-order at warehouse express) Can’t help but feel they’ve pitched that a bit too high – £2-2.5k might have hordes of folks raiding the mortgage, but £3k suddenly feels a bit too close to the 1Dx price. Is it a gambit to stop demand running away in the first few weeks? Who knows, but I’m hoping for a price drop after the initial enthusiasm has died down, or it’s beyond my over-over-overdraft limit for now 🙁
