is this confirmed or are you guessing?

but seriously I'd be way more surprised if it is true 1080p, it's embarrassing that they all shoot ~900p and I bet this'll be the same shit

I mean I'm technically guessing but I'm 99% sure they would make a point of listing that feature in the rumors were it the case. That's a huge flaw with the Canon SLRs and if they fixed it, they would let us know.

It's actually a bit lower than that. For reference, Sony's prosumer broadcast cams render roughly 900 lines from the A/D conversion process. Canon's is more like 720p web video pixel-averaged to fill a 1920x1080 frame and drenched in banded bokeh so that soccer dads will buy them.
 
Lolz this site still has the Canon vendetta going. I love it. Watch countless behind the scenes videos and so many professionals actually in the industry using Canons, but not good old NS. Not good enough. Much mainstream. Not Arc'teryx.

years ago that was true but when the A7S and GH4 came out there was no reason not to switch

For every negative comment about Canon there are a dozen threads asking which Canon to get.

But now that you mention it, do you have any recent examples of Canon DSLRs being used for professional video? I'm genuinely curious, since I stopped following video tech sometime around the GH3's release.

some people still use c100's and shit but you're definitely seeing 5dmk3's and 6d's less and less in the video world imo, on sets I've been on they've been used as c cams at best.
 
Sure, but I haven't heard any significant complaints about the c100/300. They're great cameras (I'd rather use one than a RED in most situations).

Why would I get that instead of adding $100-$300 for a GH4 that shoots 4k..?

It comes down to preference. DSLRs and M4/3 and Mirrorless cameras all have their own pros and cons.

The GH4 shoots 4k, but is also tiny. Someone with bigger hands, or someone who likes a larger style body should go DSLR rather than M4/3 because of the size difference. (in my opinion)

Also, my understanding is that a vast majority of people use a speedbooster with canon glass on a M4/3, so instead of dropping the extra dollo, just buying a camera with the EF mount may make more sense...

damn your priorities are kinda assbackwards

4K doesn't matter for 99% of NS...phones shoot 4K now, but so what? That doesn't tell a whole lot and shouldn't be a big deciding factor in cam purchase

Size of a camera body doesn't matter if the camera isn't good in the first place. A 7D might fit your hands but shoots like shit compared to a small A7S. The size difference isn't big enough to except the huge difference in quality

and your last point is truly bad advice. There's a reason you see so many people shooting Canon glass on A7S/GH4 rigs, cuz they have some good glass. Just getting a camera with an EF mount would make more "sense" if canon actually put out a good video dslr besides the 1Dc. Until then, it's not worth taking a massive quality loss for a bit more convenience
 
Or you can get the 7d mark II which has 1080 60 already and is a better for stills with a faster buffer rate and slightly faster processor if I remember correct, and it shares the same dpaf system that the 80d does just without the touch screen. And 3 times better weather sealing.
