5DIV price confirmed

[Dave Del Real]

I wonder if there will be a price drop to the 5DS/R series?

Somehow I think the 5D IV is a bit outdated even before coming out. Like they are trying to keep people from jumping brands while they slowly milk money out of us for buggy/poor featured cameras, so we can plunk down another 3K every 3 years.
No thanks, Canon.

No one is forcing you or anyone else to, so don't. But the biggest segment by far of professional users, use Canon and will likely continue and find the 5D4 to be an excellent upgrade, because they understand specs on paper don't mean a damn thing for them.

And "buggy" ? Seriously? 5 Body is one of the most reliable and durable units out there. Did you have persistent problems? What do you own?

Anyone else just excited that the official announcement of a Canon 5D Mark IV is imminent?

Been following threads on this forum for years, and it's fun when thousands of posts of speculation, arguing and hypothesizing finally give way to the real deal -- in the flesh, as it were.

Fun times.

Lol, the camera is 700 euros more expensive in Europe when compared to the US. Why is that?

Sales tax included in EUR pricing but not for USD pricing. USD 3500 => 3107 EUR. Add the 19% VAT for Germany and you get 3697 EUR, right in line with the 3700 EUR rumors.

Has there been any mention of clean HDMI out?

Yes, so much so that I lost my head for a minute on time zones...

And here in Louisiana (in my town), we now have a 10% sales tax (obscene). Which would make a $3500 purchase actual cost of $3850. Or I just buy it on Amazon or BHPhoto and pay no sales tax, which is the wiser option.

Well, it's either because Canon hates Europeans and wants them to suffer, or for the far more logical explanation that has already been stated about a dozen times in this thread. You pick.

I don't know about your guys but yeah, I'm excited. If that refocusing tech is really all that it'll change my couple shots completely.

Shot couple shots at 1.6, create two planes of focus across two exported tiff files then recombine them in photoshop. Everything fairly soft except for the eyes.

It'll make the 50L usable again too ;D

LOL...saw that. We're all human.

Except maybe Surapon. He's super-human...

Gotta feed those refugees.

Low blow, but bloody funny at the same time.

So what are we talking about again??

25/8 today is the day?

Well, that all depends on your time zone. ;D

(sorry, Dave, couldn't resist!)

Price in Japan was confirmed at $4200 USD (420,000 JPY)... so again I'll be buying my 5d from the states and shipping it over.

 

[canon1dxman]

£3599 in UK......$3499 US.

Thanks Brexit. No chance for the time being. £1500 or so more gets you a 1DXII

 

[Sharlin]

Now available for preorder in Finnish stores... for the cheap, cheap price of €4239 That's $4780 or so. Obviously including taxes (24% VAT ftw) but still there's a markup of a couple hundred euros.

 

[Mikehit]

From past experience the 'pre-order' price is sometimes hoiked to make sure that the actual price when it comes in is lower, and if it is lower the person pre-ordering gets it at the actual price.

 

[Donkey_Kong]

How long does it typically take until the first price drop? I bought my mark 3 very soon to it's release date, it was already $800 AUD cheaper than it was for those who pre ordered.
