This list is taken from CR:


  • 30.4mp
  • 7fps
  • Dual Pixel AF
  • ever possible to no post-processing of the adjustment dual pixel RAW file (bad translation)
    • There has been lots of debate what Dual Pixel RAW actually means, so we’re going to wait until we see an official explanation from a Canon document.

I am also expecting new sensor tech demonstrated in the 80D and 1DXII to show up giving similar high ISO performance as the 5DIII but a couple of stops improvement at low ISO. If that statement holds, it is a pretty impressive accomplishment considering the bump to 30.4 MP. Thus, it is a slight to significant improvement over the 5DIII in just about every way, which is a major complement considering how good a camera I consider the 5DIII.

I'll wait for the final specs and reviews to come in. My guess is that I'll upgrade to the 5DIV at some point, but I am not in a rush. What could make me order quicker is if real world users start making claims about faster more accurate AF. The 5DIII is good, but I have definitely noticed that several 5DsR users have mentioned faster/better AF.
