EOS 5D Mark IV Registered with Indonesian Certification Authority

[Canon Rumors]

It looks like the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV has been registered with the Indonesian Certification Authority, this generally happens a few months before the announcement of a product. We can confirm that the DS126601 is one of the internal names for the EOS 5D Mark IV.</p>

Just 2.4, no 5Ghz band for WiFi, so no AC support.

Indonesian? That certificate is Taiwanese.

Edit: I assume the screenshot of the table is from the Indonesian authority(?) Certificate screenshot is definitely from 2015-12-11 of the Taiwanese authority approving the wireless module for use in DS126601

Regardless - any help on translation? My pan-Asian language skills are a bit rusty.

Nothing particularly useful in the Taiwanese certificate. States some basic specs and that the wireless antenna is "fixed" (as in non-articulating), and lists some legal limitation of the certificate (such as that users would not be allowed to modify the wireless frequency or increase the antenna gain, etc). It says that this module is to be used in "Canon DS126601" but otherwise gives no info about the camera body.

I should also note that the Taiwanese certificate is not a registration of any kind for the 5DIV (or any camera body), just an approval/registration for the particular wireless module.

Brand-name obsessives will still cling to their blankets that this does not out the 5D4.

It's just a new camera, technically -- it could be anything, right?

*yawn*
nothing new
nothing important
nothing to stop and read
*moved on*

ps.: wow! seems a boring rumors time if such a story gets the headlines!

I'm curious to know what happened to the 5D X that so many people swore was coming

At this point, I wonder what reveal would truly delight folks.

• Any MP count will be too high for the high ISO camp and too low for the detail-obsessives.
• High fps burst would be loved by some, but others would fret about shutter counts racking up too fast.
• People bicker all the time about new memory card types -- faster/better cards also drive the need to buy those new cards, new readers, etc.
• 4K drives stills-only shooters to cry about paying extra for a feature they'll never use, and to not offer 4K in late 2016 would seem to be madness.

Tilty-flippy would delight folks much more than it would wind people up, I think, but there's no hard read on whether we'll get that or not.

Backlit buttons would be awesome as well.

Spot-metering at any AF point would be nearly singlehandedly upgrade-worthy for 5D3 users. (Sorry, got carried away. )

Again -- this announcement does not confirm the name will be 5D4. I think it will be called 5D4, for the record, but this announcement did not confirm that unless I missed something.

The list is short.

• A launch price tag lower than $2400.

It's not going to happen, but hey, you asked...

Oh in that case, I'd like respectful debate on political topics on FB, reasonable real estate prices in Los Angeles and a single grocery store that I can get everything my family needs.

1) I do not care for any candidate and fear for the future.
2) No reasonable real estate in antiquated LA.
3) Costco.

Hi ahsanford!

I am following CR now for the third iteration of the 5D (from II to IV). I started reading in 2008 and registered in 2013.
I never saw such a type post/rumor before. Maybe I was blind but I don't think so. I don't expect much here but not such a waste of server memory.
Of course it's difficult for Craig/CR to keep people following if Canon restrictions are such as today.
Of course you now can say "Wow! It really really has WiFi and GPS!" because this is a piece of evidence.
But hey...
Did you really expect the 5D4 to NOT have WiFi and GPS?

If you've recognized my posts about spec lists and expectations before you probalbly might have recognized me and my opinion as rational, realistic and not somnambulistic.

But now I'll turn around and go to bed (evening time in central Europe) because this is boring me too much.
Good night *yawn*

This module is used in the EOS D1300 (DS126621), and will also apply to a new camera model DS126601. Since CR Guy has confirmed that DS1266901 is a 5D MK IV, it looks like the Wi-Fi is identical to the rebel as far as hardware goes, firmware may be another story.

Its been in development for a long time, and already in use.

Getting Rebel class Wi-Fi is not what I'm looking for in a 5D MK IV.

I'm curious to know what happened to the 5D X that so many people swore was coming

I still want to believe the 5D mark IV will be called the 5DX with a 10-12 FPS frame rate. Of course, I can "want" all I want.

I just think 5DX would be a very smart marketing move and a cool name for a high FPS 5D model. Maybe next time around. 5D Mark V just doesn't ring the bell for me. 5DX just has a cool factor.

The last 5DX rumor was posted on February 29th, 4.5 months ago, and even that rumor, CR said it wasn't going to be called the 5DX. I'd think it's pretty safe to assume it's not going to be called that. Then again, CR also said it wasn't going to be a 28 mp sensor... So who knows!? LOL

I think it's a cool sounding name too. But keep in mind that outside the Canon world "dx" refers to a crop sensor camera.

I'm not voting for anything so much as pointing out the 'soup' of FF names is a little annoying:

1DX2
5DS/5DSR
5D3

In that light, an alternate universe future world of:

1DX2
1DS*
5DX
5DS

...would be a cleaner identity. X = high burst / high ISO, S = pixels pixels pixels.

As it stands (today), the X vs. S vs. no letter at all (5D3/5D4) confounds things a bit, and of course *makes a future gripped high-res rig effectively unnameable given the prior 1Ds line, so heaven knows what Canon was thinking.

My money's still firmly on it being a 5D4 and a slightly confusing naming system sticking around.
