Canon 5DIV: 36 MP US $ 3799 TBA in March 2015

Its likely the same rumor.
They pass around the internet quickly.
I'm pretty dubious about posts from websites who have a long history of trying to generate traffic in order to boost their google rankings.

It will be interesting to see if it brings the same improvements seen in 5D3 and higher MP, how about 4K video?pedro said:

I want to go shoot something with a Canon...
If it doesn't say Canon Rumors, I don't pay as much attention. Is that normal? lol

And, if they did come out with a camera specced like that I personally wouldn't buy it, even at $1,999.

Celebrating 20 years of model photography!
36 mp?
Bet they put two of the ubiquitous 18 mp crop sensors together. Will be called "Dual Sensor Technology."

Ken always puts up pages for products before their existence for SEO purposes.
It also clearly says "Forecast" at the top of the page on Ken's site. He's merely putting up his best guess.
It's pretty irresponsible for rumor sites to post this acting like it's a credible source. CR and other sites have actual insider info from credible sources to base their posting on.

Personally I highly doubt the next 5D will be around 36 mp. The 5D is meant to be the ultimate general purpose camera. 36 mp means much larger files for little real world benefit.
Another mid twenties mp count with very high QE, saturation capacity, low light performance etc etc... is much more desirable for the vast majority of users.
The less than 100% viewfinder is a strange thing to add, makes me wonder if the next 5D will be the first camera to have an interchangeable viewfinder; one normal pentaprism, the other an EVF primarily for use with video. This would fit with its role as an 'event' camera when both stills and video are required.
By having interchaneable viewfinders the quality of the OVF system would not be compromised.

I also noticed this. Furthermore,
Power top
Rated for 1,250 shots.
How? With the battery grip and 2 batteries it is possible, but with a single battery... hardly believable, imho.
I think this is BS. Despite several rumors claiming the 5D4 is coming in 2015, honestly I don't even think the 5D4 is going to be available before 2016. But I hope I'm wrong.

Viewfinder 98% coverage????
Flash sync 1/200???
Shutter rated for 150,000 cycles???
Canon currently calls the 5DIII viewfinder "approximately 100%" Why would they backtrack?
The flash sync and shutter cycles are the same as the current 5DIII and less than the 7DII. I would expect the 5DIV to have a better flash sync speed than the 7DII, if not at least the same. Shutter life, perhaps you could make the argument that the size difference, but still, I'd expect the 5DIV to be the same or better than the 7DII.
Specs seem like bunk to me.
Just saw reference in another thread to a mixed response of 2 CF cards and then a few lines down, a reference to SD card. This rumor is a poorly put together wishlist.

From a video perspective the max resolution of 1920X1080 seems like it will be a nail in the coffin for a lot of people.
Don't get me wrong i understand that most people don't even shoot in 1080 cleanly and if Canon can get it so that AA, Moire and rolling shutter are non existent then yes i agree that 1080 is more than enough for most peoples uses.
Unfortunately people (read: uneducated masses) are demanding 4K for video production work.
The ball is firmly in Canons court on this count.
