The most asked questions about the new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II are when can I get one? and how much do they cost?</p>
<p><strong>Canon EOS 5D Mark IV</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We’ve been told  that it will start shipping <del>sometime before October</del> in mid September. As you can see by the image above, the BG-E20 battery grip & 5D Mark IV kits are floating around the planet.</li>
<li>We haven’t been able to nail down cost in the United States, but we expect it to be between $3200-$3500 body only.</li>
<li>Body price in Canada will be $4299</li>
<li>Body price in Europe will be €3799 according to <a href="http://photorumors.com/2016/08/18/big-canon-announcement-on-august-25th-5d-mark-iv-camera-price-e3799/">Photo Rumors</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We expect this to ship at the same time as the EOS  5D Mark IV. We’ve seen the kits being available before the body only in the past. The kit with the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II will be more expensive than the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS kit.</li>
<li>We don’t see any EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II kits in transit from the image above.</li>
<li>We have no information on the ship time or price for the standalone lens. We suspect it’ll be cheaper to get a “white box” version soon after launch.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>We’re told that this lens will start shipping sometime in October.</li>
<li>Cost is unknown at this time.</li>
</ul>
<p>We’ll update as soon as we hear more. Keep in mind, ship dates can change with the weather. Though we’re confident this is going to be a quick and successful launch like we saw previously with t he EOS 5D Mark  III.</p>

Lensrentals.com had some fun and tested various lenses at 400mm, some are zooms and others are primes. As you might expect the 400mm f/2.8 lenses came out on top, in price and performance.</p>
<p>From Roger:</p>
<blockquote><p>I don’t think we really did too much here today except to have some fun and confirm, in numbers, what most people already know. The 400mm f/2.8 lenses, if you can afford one and don’t mind carrying it, are amazing. Canon’s new 400mm f/4 DO IS II is also superb, at least as good as the 300mm f/2.8 IS II with a teleconverter.</p>
<p>Canon’s 100-400 IS II is, from an MTF standpoint, the best zoom at 400mm, but the Nikon 200-500 and both the Sigma and Tamron 150-600s are also really good, far less expensive, and have greater range. The Nikon 80-400 VR II is not quite as good at 400 as the competition. <a href="https://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2016/08/the-sort-of-great-400mm-shootout/">Read the full article at Lensrentals.com</a></p></blockquote>
<p>This is a great era in lens design, as it appears to be really hard to make the wrong decision.</p>

<p><strong>Seamlessly Share Life’s Passions</strong>

Transferring photos from the Nikon D3400 is a snap, as the camera makes it easier than ever to share photos wirelessly through Nikon SnapBridge. Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), SnapBridge creates a connection between a camera and a compatible smart device, making it possible to seamlessly upload amazing images. Once paired, the D3400 will remain connected to the smart device and transfer photos automatically, without the need to re-connect the devices each time. Those that want to send photos from their child’s graduation or a gorgeous sunset can either set all images to automatically download as they are captured, or tag individual images for transfer in-camera. Nikon SnapBridge users can also access Nikon Image Space<sup class="green">4</sup>, a free online image sharing and storage service.</p>
<p><strong>Easily Capture Vibrant Photos with Stunning Detail</strong>

Life is full of memories that are meant to be captured with rich, vivid image quality, and the Nikon D3400 makes it easy with the high-speed performance and low-light ability that only a DSLR can deliver. The Nikon D3400 features a high-resolution 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor to help capture images that photographers love, even in tough lighting scenarios. Nikon’s EXPEED 4 image processing engine offers improved image quality at high ISOs, enhanced auto white balance performance for true colors, faster processing speeds and improved battery life. Whether shooting stylish candids or beautiful landscapes while on vacation, the Nikon D3400 is ready to help deliver magnificent stills and impressive Full HD video.</p>
<p>The Nikon D3400 is loaded with high performance features that help capture images in a variety of shooting situations, including a broad ISO range from 100-25,600, which helps to produce top-quality photos and videos with low noise. This enhanced ISO range makes it easy to capture sharp photos in low-light settings, such as indoor sports, stage performances or festivities that last into the night. An 11-point Autofocus System keeps pace to help create sharp images, whether capturing a backyard soccer game or the most rambunctious toddler. Additionally, the Nikon D3400 is capable of fast continuous shooting at up to 5 frames-per-second (fps), helping to ensure that fleeting moments or precious expressions are not missed. All of these features are incorporated into an extremely compact, lightweight and versatile camera body, ideal for a fast-paced on-the-go lifestyle, and small enough to bring on any family vacation.</p>
<p>For first-time DSLR users, the D3400 features Nikon’s Guide Mode, an intuitive and informative mode that helps develop photography skills and showcases the best camera settings for any scene. By simply turning the top Command Dial to this mode, users are prompted with a full range of capture options, and the camera guides them through various settings to create the desired image. Additionally, in-camera Scene Modes are an easy way to snap great pictures, without the need to adjust numerous settings. For even more creative shooting options, fun effects modes such as Silhouette and Miniature Photography help photographers make images that define their distinct style. When the moment calls for HD video, the D3400 offers Full HD 1080p video recording capability at the press of a button to tell any story with amazing sharpness and clarity.</p>
