No source given, but PR is claiming €3,799 for the body-only price:

someone else claimed €3299

3799 seems high.

 

[smorgo]

I've been guessing £3300, given the recent exchange rate fluctuations, which is about €3800.

I'd rather it was less, but I fear it's the reality we're living with.

If the 6D mark II is moving upmarket, then it is no surprise if the 5D mark IV is a few hundred dollars more expensive too - at least that is my way of thinking.

 

[LordofTackle]

3799€ seems awfully high, I don't really believe it (don't want to).

The 1DXII came for 6299€, so the same prize in € as in US$, and I guess that's the same what they will do with the 5DIV.

(or the 3799€ is correct and they go for 3799$ as well.....)

€3,799 may be the cheaper kit price ...

 

[LordofTackle]

€3,799 may be the cheaper kit price ...

This could be very well true. Maybe the body alone is then actually less than 3200€...
(prices for body alone vs. body +24-70/4 differ about 800€ in Germany)

I think you're kidding yourself. Given the recent exchange rate fluctuations and consequential price rises in Europe for an awful lot of Japanese goods, I think you'll find this is very much in line with the 5D Mark III price at launch, which was €3569.

 

[daniela]

A lot of money. 3200-3300E would have been ok (read on other postings where the price increases and the pricedrops were discussed some days ago). But 3800? A littl bit high, even if you get a lot for this.
My best girlfried wrote to me today, Sony will compeed.

-1 from me

 

[Dick]

Well. The decision is easy then. 5D3 will have to serve me some additional years.

 

[Guillaume GLEIZE]

3800€? Baoumm!

Well ... I already put 6700€ in 3 lenses so suddenly I feel my old 5DII is very good and enough ...

 

[Talley]

6D needs to be a 1899 price and 5D4 needs to be a 3299 price.

Nikon Rumors gave the price? See comments down the webpage...

 

[Donkey_Kong]

That price cannot be correct. That's over $5,600 Australian dollars. Literally nobody will pay that. I was dead set on buying a 5DIV, but i certainly will not if that is the price. This rumour must be completely false.

 

[gwflauto]

This camera will find a lot of people, who are able and willing to pay that price!

 

[Donkey_Kong]

In Australia anyway, that price would be VERY close to the 1DXII

 

[George D.]

I'd expect a price competitive to Nikon D810 meaning around USD 3,300 and USD 3,799 kit with the 24-105/4L II. Euro 3,799 body only is definitely overpriced, but that can be fixed (i.e. lowered) if no one buys for the first 1 year... Customer loyalty one thing, profiteering another.

Hello 5dsr.

 

[tcmatthews]

Could be pricing in further decline in European currency relative to the yen. It is much easier to decrease the price through sales and rebates than increase the price for the region. There is likely the early adopter tax on top of that. That said for that price I would pick up a 5Dsr out to the Canon refurb store.

Sadly, we don't have that in Europe (Germany).
Actually, Canon "opened" their online store in Germany just this year. And you don't even get all the camera stuff (all the high end stuf is missing, mainly the pro cameras)
