You know how I now you're (partial 40 year old virgin reference) not someone who knows what they're talking about rumor sender? 9 FPS.
Ain't happening. Not a chance.

Does it have interchangeable screens?

It could be a mirror-up feature....

 

[Hector1970]

I don't think myself it will be 9FPS, They'll probably put it at 8 FPS.
I wonder will they fix focus confirmation.
On the Mark III I find the lack of a red indicator confirming focusing a real shortfall on an almost perfect camera.
For the IV they have incrementally improved everything.
It's probably all the can do.
I'd like more dynamic range in the sensor if they can.
The one other thing I would like is flip out back screen, ideally one that can fold back in so the back is facing outward. It's incredibly useful. It's very hard to see the screen in bright sunlight. I live in a country that doesn't seem much sun so it's not an obtacle but recently I was in Italy with two weeks of bright sun and you couldn't see the screen.
It's one major advantage I've found with mirrorless (Fuji anyway) that you can view the picture through the viewfinder after you've taken it.
Is that impossible with a mirror in the camera?

I have been told that we'll see the return of the red focus point.

28mp

Great, now when it comes out at 24MP, high MP lovers are going to be complaining that it's even lower than what was rumoured.

I'm surprised I can't nail down this information with any sort of certainty yet.

 

[mikekx102]

Well I hope it has 9 FPS, I'll be very very happy if that's true. Lots of people here seem to be of the attitude that if you want more than 7 FPS, go get a 1DX, but I think its quite a valid wish to ask for 9 FPS in a 5D mark IV, and for me it would make it an even more versatile camera.

It astounds me when people come along and say they hope its lacking in this regard, or that regard (because they don't currently utillise those features)... And I'm not talking about anyone in this thread but just in general. Make it rain Canon!

 

[NorbR]

You know how I now you're (partial 40 year old virgin reference) not someone who knows what they're talking about rumor sender? 9 FPS.
Ain't happening. Not a chance.

May I ask why not?

If I had to bet, I would probably bet on something a bit lower as well, but I don't see why 9 fps would be so shocking.

Mechanically, if they can make a full-frame size mirror flip at 14fps in the 1DX, they can easily make it 9 in the 5D series.
Specs wise, it's far enough from the 14fps that there is no real threat to the product line differentiation.
It's close to the 10fps in the 7D, but Canon would be happy to sell anyone a 5D instead of a 7D, so no problem there.
Don't know the precise specs of Digic 7, but I don't imagine there would be a major data throughput problem with 28MP @9fps (28*9 is roughly equal to 50*5, so if the 5Ds can ...)

It may be a wish rather than a prediction, but it's not a completely inaccessible wish - or am I missing something?

 

[Morku]

I really would love to know, if 4K @ 30 or 60 fps.

 

[UnholyRacket]

This would be almost perfect specs for me, although I share the general disbelief on the 9fps. I would actually be ok if they came in with a little less if the trade-off delivered a quieter silent mode. I love the 1DX Mk II's frame rate, but it sounds like a gattling gun (even in silent shooting, which should actually be labelled 'quieter than a tank running over a recycling truck full of tin cans, but only just'). I am sure wedding, music/arts, and even sports photographers (yes I could hear the 1DX Mk II users at Wimbledon over the radio!) would appreciate that option. Although sports togs will probably stay with the 1DX's.

 

[tomscott]

Why 9fps and 41 cross type? No info about F8 focusing either

 

[AlanF]

I hope it doesn't have the low-pass filter or there is a choice of two models.

 

[Canon Rumors]

I hope it doesn't have the low-pass filter or there is a choice of two models.

There definitely won't be a split of models and I do expect we'll see a low pass filter.

28mp
DIGIC 7
9fps

Hmmm. The 1D Mk II(N) and the 5D "classic" used the same DIGIC II. The 1D3 used a DIGIC III, while the 5D2 used a DIGIC 4, but there were a good 18 months between those two bodies. The 1DX and 5D3 has 4 months between them, and used the same DIGIC 5+ processors.
Now we're expecting 6-7 months between the 1DX2 and 5D4 announcements, and yet they'll use different DIGIC's according to this source.

28MP * 9fps = 252MP/s, which is significantly higher than the ~171MP/s extrapolated from the 1DX:5D3 ratio. Sounds unlikely to me, although it could explain the switch to a newer DIGIC.

Touchscreen? How will they cope with noses hitting the touchscreen?

I'm surprised I can't nail down this information with any sort of certainty yet.

They've probably used previous false rumours to figure out who was doing the leaking.

 

[arthurbikemad]

I'm keen to know the spec, I have funds for a 1DX2 but am interested to know the spec of the 5D4 before I jump on it, then I can decide what to trim down my kit too, sell my 5D3 and 1DX and get the 1DX2 or get the 5D4 and keep the Mk1... I'd like to have just one body, Mk4 or 1DX2.... gone round and round on it for months...

Or buy a 1DX2 and get a 5DSR later on

 

[Bernard]

Does it have interchangeable screens?

I hope so too. The Mark3 and DS use non-interchangeable screens that are as soft as butter. It's impossible to judge critical focus.

I know about live view, but then why use a DSLR at all? Canon can do a lot better, the question is: will they spend the money it takes to give this camera the best FF DSLR finder on the market, or will they go cheap and hope it doesn't hurt them too bad in the long term?
