Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specification List [CR1]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Taking this with a hefty grain of salt. Seems like an odd rumor, given the specs increase is minimal across the board. The 5D III brought more to the table, including a significantly improved AF system and much improved high ISO capabilities, among many other improvements and benefits.
This specs list is...incredibly bland. Either Canon is EXTREMELY confident in their customer loyalty, or this is someone's old 5D III wishlist relabeled "5D IV"...

I think you hit the nail on the head. Canon is catering to wedding and high volume portrait shooters with the 5D series (less the 5DS/R). They dont want the mpix and they dont need very high fps. They do burn through bodies and buy more. The 5DSR is the start of a new line to run parrallel to the standard 5D series. This 5DS/R parrallel line will cater more to landscape, architecture, etc - mini medium format type camera.

The 5D3 was (and still is) nearly perfect for me, improving on everything I wanted improved in the 5D2. These cameras meet my needs so well that small ("bland") improvements are fine. If you start off with something that's nearly perfect, there's no need for big changes.

Couldn't agree more. But on the 5DIV? Sadly unlikely. We're more likely to see these features on the 6DII some time in 2017. I got a Panasonic GH4 when they first shipped, primarily to shoot video. It has a totally brilliant and highly functional flippy touchscreen. It just makes such perfect sense. The naysayers have probably never used a properly resolved touchscreen.

I am sure they could accomodate for that. I'm conviced the SD option is a choice they make. I would prefer CFast/CF too for the 5 series. And i think CFast/CFast would be best for the 1 series.

Since I am not a pro I have quit using the SD card in my 5D Mark III. I get a much deeper buffer that way. I'd be suprized to see an SD card in the 5D Mark IV/DX.

What does CR1 mean? I'm new here.
I think they'll put the price between its predecessor and 5DS. Still acceptable for some or even for many, only if they just cut the FPS from the 1DX II and bring the rest to the 5D4

Why would you buy expensive (not cheap) CF cards for a camera which doesn't need the capabilities of a card worthy of a high price? That sounds like a case of GAS to me.

Have you used a 7DII? The AF Area lever around the joystick allows direct selection of AF point selection mode – single point, spot, zone, all-61 auto, etc. Quite handy to have that right next to the point selector, vs. pressing the button then using the main dial.

If these specs are true, I'm a little surprised at how conservative they are as an upgrade. 1 extra fps and 2 more MP....that's really quite a begrudging upgrade when we know that the single Digic 7 is easily good for 28mp at 8 fps. I dare say that Canon will try to release this camera at £3000 UKP like the 5DIII and will see very poor sales for the first year as a consequence.
The 5D was a game changer....no one made an economic full frame digital camera. The 5DII was a revolutionary camera that combined live view and movie mode in a full frame camera. The 5DIII was quite a revolutionary camera in that it changed the 5D genre into a professionally featured camera and pretty much made it the most versatile camera in production. The 5D4 looks like another 20D>30D brain fart from Canon. There really doesn't seem to be anything revolutionary or innovative about it. New features that will not really help me much (gps???...great every web nerd can go and steal my landscape locations) and a very mild warm over in the features that do matter to me.
I guess this is what happens when Nikon drop their ball and stop being a challenge to Canon.

OMG let's admit, this couldn't be more boring 
24MP?!?! Should be somewhere between 28-36MP!
Where is the development here??? The touchscreen?
)
I would be open to ANY kind of innovation...OK, no more pixels...then let's have a 20-30% size/weight reduction to see that Canon has realized the potential of the incredibly successful Sony A7 series.
I simply don't see a reason to upgrade from mk3. Maybe if mk4 has some asskicking noise levels but I doubt that.

It's so much convenient in the 7D II... once you get used to it you wouldn't renounce this feature. Plus, it's one more hard control on the back (and on the battery grip), so you have more customization options.
Of course I'm not sure at all Canon will introduce it on the 5D IV, but it's an all-rounder camera often used for sport/wildlife, it would be a nice addition, IMHO.

Looks good to me. Even if this isn't real, it's hard to imagine that it isn't close to the real thing.
Also unsurprising is the amount of negativity here. But it's not like +1 FPS and +2 MP are the only things going for it over the Mark III. It will have better dynamic range, like the 80D and 1D X II, which is supposedly a massive failing of previous Canons. High ISO performance will also improve, but it won't be as good as the 1D X II. Autofocus will be better, and it's hilarious to see people criticising "61 AF Points (41 crosstype)" as inadequate, given that these are the exact same specifications as the 1D X II.
I would prefer it to be 8 FPS, but this is mostly because I like the number eight more than seven.
Moving to CFast all but confirms 4K. The higher speed would be good for 4K recording, but I'm pretty sure that it's not needed for still shooting. The only other reason for CFast would be because Canon thinks it's the way of the future and they want to make it standard amongst their pro bodies, but this seems less likely to me.
