When will the Nikon P1000 be released?
I’ve been claiming for several years that Canon/Nikon ought to deliver a hybrid DSLR/Mirrorless camera — maybe this is it? There’s a huge investment in EF lenses out there, but mirrorless is winning away many users.
Why not do it both ways. Canon already has the dual pixel technology, so they have a better AF solution in “mirrorless mode” than anyone else making DSLRs. Modern DSLRs are getting increasingly sophisticated viewfinder overlays, to enable competition with some useful mirrorless features. Why not make an overlay that’s basically also a stand-alone screen? Lock up the mirror, and you’ve got mirrorless through the viewfinder!
Of course, they’d have to be very un-Canon with this and deliver a DSLR with much better 4K video than the MJPEG mess they’ve offered in the 1D X and the 5D IV. Or they could be typical Canon and price this too high to be practical for DSLR buyers. At least it’s finally something really new from Canon.. maybe they are waking up at last.

Agree, that’s what I also thinking.
People are buying mirrorless camera (specifically Sony and Panasonic) due to specs vs price they are getting, If Canon is able to deliver the same specs in their DSLR at a lower price point, new users will sure get attracted to it.
