This is still a rumor because I havent seen anything confirmed from Canon themselves.eguzowski said:IT'S ABPUT F'ING TIME! I'm thrilled the competition slapped them in the face...obviously there sales of the 5D IV Joke of a video DLR were tricking and they though, "huh..so now were going to piss off the pros with a 6D mark II with better 4k because the market won't take our bullS___ anymore."
First time this camera has interested me now as a 5D3 owner whom was looking at moving to Sony after 17 years as a Canon Pro (I've already begun switching to Sigma Art Glass with is great...after selling my L Glass)
...still not sure it will save me until they also get a real mirrorless camera in their arsenal.
cpreston said:Regarding the heat issue, I owned a 1DC and that thing got hot. Uncomfortable to hold hot. I saw the temperature warning more than a few times when shooting in 4K. Plus, the camera would have hot spots on the sensor that could not be black balanced out and got noticeably worse as the temperature went up.
The temperature control is a serious engineering problem for Canon and it is a tradeoff between write speeds, processing, and sensor read out.

risto0 said:I wanted to buy this camera as soon as the shop gets new stock in mid April. By checking today i noticed that they've got their stock early and it's now available again at quite a good price (€3300.-). But thanks to this rumor i cannot go and buy the camera because if the rumors come out true, i hope canon also announces based on serial number, if a camera needs hv upgrade or not. I am afraid to go and buy the camera now an then in a few weeks need to send it in for an upgrade. And maybe even pay for this.
-pekr- said:Not being much into cinematography myself (70D here, waiting for 6DII), but I cut some simple videos for our LED screens. Thinking of switching from Director Suite to Davinci Resolve. Found out Blackmagic cameras. With their price ranging from 990 USD - 2990 USD I start to wonder, why would anyone use DSLR instead? Just because as a photographer, you have DSLR always available? It will be also interesting to see, how their new Ursa mini Pro stands against Canon C100/C300, with the cca 6K USD cost ... Just curious ...
bsbeamer said:Based on the new Magic Lantern firmware available for the 5D3 (which is only "proof of concept" at the moment), maybe this really will be likely. The 5D4 should be able to handle all of those specs and more. Patiently waiting for NAB...
Maybe Canon is finally trying to beat the firmware developers by releasing products to market, or adding features after initial release? If so, that would be a great change for consumers.

Denisas Pupka said:Happy to see rumors like this, but I'm little pessimistic about this. I wouldn't be surprised if this is rather rumors for upcoming 1DC mark II.
Policar said:Ripley said:Canon Rumors said:For the record, there is some precedents to big feature firmware updates from Canon. The EOS 5D Mark II v1.1 and onward as well as the EOS 7D v2.0 come to mind.
In the end, it's just software.
So Canon is releasing software that overheats its camera? And the fix is a hardware retrofit? I think it's fair to say that the camera wasn't originally designed for these new features but Canon is motivated to now provide them... in an unprecedented manner.
None of the claims made in the rumor are true. It is entirely made up. None of it is real except the CLOG thing posted earlier probably is.
The only thing unprecedented is a rumor this inane being posted on a site that usually vets its sources.
