First EOS 5D Mark IV Leak?

As long as it's not a CR3 for men's fashion in 2016.

It's amazing how many "Posts: 1" are changing canon for other brand.

They are on for the entertainment value - trying to convince themselves that it's the right move !

I wonder if the 5DIV will be compatible with the EVF DC-1 (or 2 perhaps). I originally though the IV might have an interchangeable head, one OVF, the other EVF, but now having used the DC-1 it's a neat application, though I wouldn't trade a good, reflex OVF for it.

Be useful for video.

Interesting idea, but it's unlikely. If you pony up $3500 for a 5D4, you probably aren't shooting video the same way as you'd shoot stills -- stabilizers, Hoodman/Zacuto loupes on the LCD, etc. would be more likely, wouldn't they?

Very curious to see if we actually get a tilty-flippy on the 5D4. I think it's a certainty on the 6D2, but will tilty-flippy climb the professional ladder up to the 5D line?

With the 5D IV being almost visible on horizon, I am curious what features would make it a reasonable upgrade for 5D mark III users.
It is safe to say, there won't be any breakthrough in high iso capabilities. I would expect a slightly better performance than the prodecessor, similiar to 6D. ITR will be added for sure. DPAF is likely as well. No major MP increase expected, either. Wifi, GPS would be appreciated. Will those make it a reasonable upgrade over the cheaper-than-ever 5D III? I'm not sure at this point.

What do you guys expect from the upcoming 5D IV?

I was hoping for high ISO improvement, but it's clear we won't get much (if any).

I dunno. I think that, assuming high ISO performance remains unchanged, I would not want more than 24MP or more light would be needed over the old model (in the form of higher shutter speeds). Sharpness would need to be the same or better (AA filter strength). If they can do that, slip in the new 1DX II focus system, increase the buffer capacity and put in the "modern" customization options (exp comp in M mode, new metering system, etc.) then it *may* be a worthy upgrade. We shall see though. The 5D3 gets the job done just fine.

Aye, I'm quite happy soldiering on with the 5D3... I'll quietly resent the WiFi features, assuming they're finally rocking up, but I've been doing that ever since the 6D surfaced

To be honest I'm probably going to grab me a 6D in the next few months, regardless of what's going on in everyone else's 2016!

...

At least to me new cameras and lenses are expensive enough that I'm simply not willing to part with $$ until I've seen reviews and/or recommendations from people with long experience. If that means I don't buy a new camera until 6-9 months after it is released, fine. I do the same with anything that costs > $500. Reviews first.

+1. I'll add that renting is also a great idea if it's a big ticket item. It's one thing to know it tests/reviews well, but it also needs to handle/interface/perform well in your hands. Only real usage can tell you that.

exactly.

the 5D MK3 is such a great camera. i don´t see me updating for just 4K and some improvements i barely notice in every day situations.

to make me spend 3500 euro on the 5D MK4 canon has to really excite me this time. from the rumors.. i don´t see that happening. but i still hope.

i really want the 5D MK4 to be my "dream camera" but i already play with the thought of waiting for a 5DS II (just in case i will be disappointed).

well disappointed sounds harsh.
but it really needs a lot to make a 5D MK4 upgrade worth it.
i am not a pro and 3500$ are a lot of money.

i want something for that.. something that makes shooting really better.
i mean, when i spend the money on a drone i know i will have new opportunities.

Well said. For 3500 €, $ or whatever the new 5D IV should make a difference (compared to 5D III). Some nice touches and softwere updates will not do it this time, that's for sure. We are about to find out soon. CR3 rumors on new 24-105 F4L IS may indicate that 5D IV isn't far away, either.

I don't think €3500 is an outrageous release price for the 5d3 successor. The 5d3 launch price was €3569. I personally am hoping that Canon changes the game again with the camera. It wasn't too long ago that the 5d series was your entry level full frame camera and was crippled with a bare bones AF system, but those cameras, specifically the 5d2 was still a game changer. Video, that resolution, and low light performance in what was a very affordable package (relatively speaking) at the time.

Canon out did themselves with the 5d3 in my opinion, you got the huge AF upgrade and didn't have to sacrifice anything to get it besides a moderate price premium over the previous model. So with a camera that has very few flaws even by 2016 standards Canon has given themselves a tough job in trying to deliver a mark iv worthy of upgrade from the 5d3, so I agree on that point...but not because of a €3500 price tag.

Tony Northrup's predictions in that video on the 5D mark IV were not the only ones that were more than questionable. Actually, I think that he stated many quite unlogical predictions in this video by intention. That's because he understands how social media work. This way he generates tons of comments and references to the video. This is what the Google and Facebook feed engines like and promote.

...Controlled leaks with Canon are a slippery slope as they have evaluators under NDA all over the globe. Making exceptions for one dude might imply to others that the cat is out of the bag and they can similarly make mischief like this....

All not quoted here possibilities are not to be ignored, but I say NDA forbids them to let the cat out of the bag, while his contractual terms most probably have different special well planned agreements. ;-)
