Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to be Announced August 25, 2016 [CR3]

[Canon Rumors]

<p>We’re told that the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV will be announced on August 25, 2016 if you’re based in North America.</p>
<p>The camera will be launched with a new EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II kit along with another current lens kit.</p>
<p>We’re not sure if the new EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III will be announced the same day, or get a separate announcement ahead of Photokina.</p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE*</strong></p>
<p>I don’t know what time of day the announcement will come on August 25, 2016, it could be at 11PM EST, as they have done before. This would make it an August 26, 2016 announcement for a lot of the planet.</p>
<p><em>Lots more to come…</em></p>

[CR3]? Good!

... Lots more to come …

So let's hope that there 'll be some additional teasing information 'til August 25, 2016.
Otherwise bad weather summer days might become a little bit boring

Thanks to CR for providing this fun to us 8)

It's probably got a number of features never seen on a Canon 5D Mark IV previously.

Pah, that's just speculation.

Blurry images add to the hype: http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_5d4.html

would wait to see if Canon adopts good 4k video and dumps the old CF slot in favour of faster CFast cards.

I am looking forward to seeing the new 5D Mark IV...but I doubt that I will be buying one. I still love my 5D3. It really checks most of my FF photography need boxes. Also, I use my mirrorless system about 80-90% of the time now...so..even though I do have about 10 Canon-mount lenses....I am most likely not going to put a wad of cash in a high-priced intro body. Perhaps in a year or so when the "early-adopter" price drops a grand or two. ...but I may be out of the system by then.
I am hoping that it is a tremendous body though!!!!! It has to be.

I'm pretty sure all its features have never been seen on a Canon 5D Mark IV before.

I'm very positive on this one too...

Like many I can't wait to read his characteristics ...

I will balance those characteristics and price to buy it or not. But with respect for everyone preferences, I'm a fan of the Mp (for many concrete reasons) but I think the 5DSR 50Mp is maybe too much and I dream of something between 20Mp and 50Mp ... so the only thing I'm sure about me and the 5D4 is:

- If only 24Mp ---> I won't buy it!
- If 28Mp or more ---> I'm pretty sure I'll buy it!

Hmmmm. These 4 MP is the deciding factor? I don't connect with this at all.

An interesting opinion considering that neither you nor anyone else will be able to tell the difference between a 24 and 28 MP image (even if you crop).

Wonderful news !! Just in time for most of the wedding season to have passed for haha!

Features I would like to see:

Automatic removal of fire exit signs from raw files

Covert stupid vicar mode where i can leave the 5d4 in a flower pot and fire remotely from my phone silently from outside the church

Inbuilt weight removal for all the people who ask if i can removed a stone or two

..

on a serious note, wifi control is a must have , better ISO another must have , two CF flash slots would be nice or at least a faster SD slot.

LOL, that is so awesome.

That made my day. ;D

Oh how I hate those awful lights destroying any kind of available light mood.
(I know they are useful and necessary)

If announcement date is August 25, 2016. When is likely release/availability date?

 

[LoneRider]

Ha, y'all are funny. This board cracks me up.

I am pretty convinced Canon:

• is not going to lay a turd
• going to be reasonably conservative
• is not going to try to have a camera that answers directly to any specific camera from Sony or Nikon
• was taking its time to get is right, technology takes time, DIGIC 7, ADC on chip, yield for DPAF lenses in a FF sensor
• is going to release a benchmark, jack of all, master of weddings camera
• is going to release a camera that DXO says has inferior DR to at least one Nikon and one Sony camera
• is going to release a camera that is going to piss off at least 10% of the people on the forum
• is going to release a camera that is going to anger many wives (and some husbands) of forum members, as we race to drop $3500 on a camera unseen

 

[gsealy]

Regardless of what the 5DIV actually is, I will wait until people have a chance to review it and compare it to the competition. I will determine if the $3500 delivers something worthwhile that I don't already have. So we'll see.

 

[serenaur]

I'm looking forward to the announcement! I'll be deciding what to do when I see the specs in terms of upgrading from my 5D2. So many options out there but being invested in EF mount glass and being familiar with the line weighs in favour of going up to the 5D4 and skipping the 5D3 altogether (though I have been severely tempted by it a few times!). This could be a great photo/video single camera solution for me that would play directly into my needs - here's hoping!

 

[slclick]

I'm more excited by the 24-105 Mk2!

 

[nightscape123]

The 5D IV will be quite exciting. I will never buy one, but it paves the way forward for the 6D II which I will almost certainly be buying. Additionally a new 24-105 f/4 would be something I would be very interested in. Combine that with a possibly new 16-35 f/2.8 and This could be an exciting last part of the year.
