I am not in a rush

The IBIS is already very good (check out the Fun for Louis or Ben Brown vlogs on YT), so if that is improved then that will be superb.

I only have 1 lens with IS, so that feature, however good it is, will be better than none that i am used to.

That's a very significant improvement.

Camera looks great but the price......

Very please to read about the DR improvement. I do a lot of bracketing on my 5D2 so it might help sway me to upgrade... once the price drops 1k!

So the DR has improved but still not as good at the Nikon D810 and Sony A7RII. It's good that they've improved it but it should be expected considering the lifespan of the 5D.

A step in the right direction and will be enough for most people like me who have invested a lot in the system to jump ship.

I think he meant drops by £1k, not drop to £1k.

What an utterly pointless feature.

I saw that last night, saw another video, it has no real world advantage.

The one thing i wanted it to do, which is the eye thing, it can't do. It's a neat idea on paper but all that R&D didn't translate well to real world.

Mines being delivered to tomorrow!

Agreed. An interesting concept, but for now nothing more than a gimmick.

Worse case if it turns out really crap I will return or resell it at a small loss and get the Sony a9 and probably dump canon completely. The 5d4 is its saving grace.
