[...] (The $12K body-only price tag is also a bit intimidating.) Perhaps it was the announcement of an April firmware update that allows it to capture 4K at 25 fps or that more people just got to put their hands on it that [...]

[...] the Canon 1D C in 4K but you need 25fps, it looks like you’ll have to wait just a bit longer. Canon officially announced that the firmware would be released in April, but it wasn’t clear when exactly it would be coming. Now there is word that we’ll get [...]

You are right…soon there will be a 4K BMCC without even the clients having seen the ordered 2.5K one…

1DC will sell only if BMCC doesn’t get wide distribution.

I blended my 5D Mark III fed up with waiting for the firmware and bought the super Sony NEX VG-900 and what a cool video camera with very nice features. I really rate the APS-C crop to get that tighter shot.. If Canon woke up to these type of feature I would eat my underpants.

5D3s are selling well to their core market (stills shooters) without the upgrade. No reason to move the upgrade before NAB, where they will get the benefit of a second round of publicity aimed at the audience that cares about that function.

It’s funny because you guys have been sitting around (and still are) for a year for the BMCC ;p

If only americans cared this much about their society instead of the things they buy, things would be much different.

This will sell a ton of 1DCs in Europe – CVP must have had a ton of interest to force this so quickly.
I don’t think it needs the 30fps upgrade to get plenty of work in Nth America and I can’t imagine there’s a customer large enough to force the issue.
There are other 4k capable cams coming, but not at this size or this price.
Or, you know, also be a fantastic stills camera.

Hey, does anyone have any thoughts on 1DX vx 1DC for 1080p output? Is it correct that the image from their full full frame mode is basically the same, but the super 35 mode on the 1DC is a bit sharper?

You two are a joke. Everyone has a choice, we live in democracy. And I have the right to buy whatever I want. I don’t care what Canon or someone else things. I live my life and that is what matters to me. But you two clowns worry about stuff that will never matter to you…

I mean cmon guys, really never going to buy one again. Its a camera thats it. I have a 5D3 and love it. My thoughts are that something is coming at NAB that will make us understand the time. Im thinking we might see alot more in the 5D upgrade and the 1DC Upgrade then they want to tell us. Im hoping this will happen.

This level of animosity is something I hope you share with civil liberty issues, because if you are just this upset with a Camera manufacturer you must be a force to recon with on the political front.

wtf Canon, is with this April release for firmware ? When they announced clean hdmi out for the mk iii in October, the release date was April … a mere 7 months away. I thought for sure they would move that release way up … but: nothing.

From the country that revolutionized just-in-time inventory ….. we don’t want to sit around and wait half a bloody year for your ‘innovations’.
