Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Spec List [CR1]

[GMCPhotographics]

I'm hoping for above 28MP
More cropping power, plus who doesn't love the satisfaction of 100% pixel peeping a beautifully sharp image?

Also, I'm surprised that some people seem to be concerned about the price. Photography is expensive. The latest high-end, fully spec'd body from one of the world's most established manufacturers is going to be expensive. It will also be worth it. I bought my 5DIII shortly after they were released in Australia. It has never let me down (has shot way over 300,000 exposures), and has given me access to an amazing piece of wonderful technology, which has stood the test of time remarkably. I consider it one of the best purchases I've ever made. You get what you pay for.

The 5D3SR is 50mp @ 5fps, so I doubt that Canon will want to rob sales from that camera. So i think it's more likely the 5D4 will be 28mp at around 8.5 fps. This will bring the 5D4 into the same speed bracket as the 7DII and keep the differentiation between it and the 5D3SR. The 1DXII is pretty much in a class of its own and even at 8.5 fps, the 5D4 isn't in the same market (although it's arguably a more versatile camera). 28mp is a lot of resolution and shouldn't be underestimated. It wasn't all that long ago when 6mp was considered excessive.

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.

Any news on fps at least? Just to keep us on edge 8) (I mean > CR1)

Seems like good specs but forgot a couple of things such as an articulating screen and mirrorless.

Yeah, that one must have just slipped their minds.

Oh no, Canon decided to remove live view and permanently lock the mirror down like a SLT camera.

it would be a world first indeed. A mirrorless with mirror ;D ;D ;D

Was that what his comment meant? I couldn't figure out his point... ???

Here are the 5DIV specs....

24MP
7FPS
4K 30
1DX2 all f/8 focusing with red points
ISO 25600
Low Iso DR improvements similar to 1DX2 and 80D
Addition of all the little features that have been brought out with the 7D2 and 5DSR like EC with auto ISO, anti-flicker, intervalometer, etc...

That is all you will be getting....pipe dreams of 30MP and 9FPS are just that.....

I agree with the above. These will be the most likely specs.

They'll probably push the frame rate to 7.51 fps so they can round it up to 8fps in the marketing materials. Of course that will only be at base ISO with wide open aperture, manual focus, and manual shutter speed faster than 1/2000.

As long as its IQ comes close to 1DxII IQ I am OK with that.

I can put any of my current Canon DSLRs into liveview and operate them mirrorlessly. However, with this new camera, I'm led to believe that Canon glued the mirror down permamently so no one could ever use it mirrorlessly.

You remind me of my EOS RT But that was losing 2/3 of a stop due to the semitransparent mirror. Not good for high iso shooters...

-less \ˈles\ adjective: an adjective suffix meaning “without” (childless; peerless).

I'm led to believe that you reach in with some pliers and yank out the mirror from your Canon dSLRs to 'operate them mirrorlessly'.

Not another camera accessory. Will 3rd-party pliers suffice or would you recommend I get the expensive made-in-Japan ones?

My Canon 5D (mk I ) once turned itself into a FF mirrorless. It didn't work as well.

I'd say 3rd party is ok, as long as they have the same red accent found Canon L-series lenses...
