A Canon DSLR First Coming to EOS 5D Mark IV [CR2]

[Canon Rumors Guy]

<p>The teasing of features and information has started ahead of the August announcement of the EOS 5D Mark IV from Canon.</p>
<p>We’re told that the new camera will have a DSLR first from Canon, but the source was unsure if any other manufacturer has or will have the same feature in one of their cameras. While we’re told that the feature “isn’t major”, it is something “a lot of shooters will be happy to have”.</p>
<p>We expect a lot more information over the next few weeks, and we’re working hard daily trying to get some new bits of information.</p>
<p>What sort of “DSLR first” feature do you want to see in a Canon DSLR?</p>

K-Cup compatibility!

Is there any DSLR that has a live view in viewfinder like what is offered on Mirrorless? That is the one function that I would love to have although I would want it to be optional.

Hmm...focus peaking/zebra stripes type stuff, maybe?

Or does the 1D-C already have that?

Probably a built in RT master. Useful, but not terribly exciting if that's the case.

Logical and convenient, but indeed not very exciting since for optical flash control, even the Rebel/xxxD line has that with the built-in flash.

If not the built-in RT master, maybe the automatic AFMA ala the Nikon D5. That would be pretty nice.

XLR jacks on a vertical grip? Something people have been asking for since 2009.

I honestly do not know - but does any Canon DSLR have GPS built in?

We'll get something new like prior releases did: silent shutter was new on the 5D3, DPAF was new on the 70D, anti-flicker was new on the 7D2, etc.

But telling us we're going to get something new isn't really a rumor, that's a certainty. The real scoop would be telling us what it is.

My 'reasonable' guess would be (I don't know) some sort of automated AFMA, illuminated buttons, or other nice to have.

My 'reach goal of slight unreasonableness' would be a modular LCD mount so you can slap in a solid vanilla LCD, change it out for a tilty, change it out for a tilty/flippy/touch, etc.

My batsh-- unreasonable guess would be a hybrid/switchable OVF/EVF combo. Amplification in dark rooms and focus-peaking, anyone?

At least the Canon 1DX Mark II has buildin GPS. I want an EVF mirrored into the OVF if needed. This would be the best of both worlds!

A built-in intervalometer for time-lapse possibly. I can't recall any of the Canon DSLR having this feature.

 

[mnclayshooter]

intervalometer and/or in camera automated afma calibration.

 

[H. Jones]

A built-in intervalometer for time-lapse possibly. I can't recall any of the Canon DSLR having this feature.

The 7D mark II and 5DS both have intervalometers built in.

I doubt automatic AFMA since the D5 apparently has that already-- it wouldn't be a first.

Viewfinder cap ala Nikon DSLRs

Viewfinder cap ala Nikon DSLRs

1-series bodies have had the viewfinder shutter for years.

 

[saveyourmoment]

Usb type C??

 

[bsbeamer]

crop shooting mode?

 

[bdeutsch]

Usb type C??

That would be such a sad "first" if that's all we're getting.

Is this a first in DSLR's? Or a "first"... like how Apple claims to have invented everything?
