First EOS 5D Mark IV Leak?

[Canon Rumors]

<strong>*UPDATE 2*</strong></p>
<p>The instagram post has been removed.</p>
<p>We’re also pretty confident that the lens on the camera is a <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/new-ef-24-105-f4l-is-replacement-coming-with-5d-mark-iv-cr3/">replacement for the EF 24-105 f/4L IS</a>.</p>
<p><strong>*UPDATE*</strong></p>
<p>Here’s the reported “leak” of the EOS 5D Mark IV as claimed by Levi Siver. I’m not sure about this one, as I think we’re still a bit early for the “official” leaks that we saw with the EOS 5D Mark III launch.</p>
<p>IA forum member pointed out the lens hood of the attached lens and that they couldn’t identify it. We do know the soon-to-be-announced EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III has a new lens hood, the EW-88D.</p>

<p><strong>*Original Post*</strong></p>
<p>I’m currently on a game drive in northern Uganda, but I figure is pass on what is claimed to be the first picture leak of the upcoming EOS 5D Mark IV.</p>
<p>You can<a href="http://www.eoshd.com/2016/06/5d-mark-iv-tested-red-bull-sponsored-surfer/"> read about it at EOSHD</a>.</p>
<p>We know the EOS 5D Mark IV will be announced in August, with delivery coming soon after.</p>
<p>I have a few things about the camera that I’ll be publishing soon.</p>

I don't recognize that lens hood.

 

[plam_1980]

That guy is very brave, not being afraid of NDA

 

[Maximilian]

Is there a camera there that can be recognized?

I thought I had good eyes but from this picture I can only tell that there are Canon cameras.
But I cannot recognize any detail...

Controlled leak done to generate hype before release.

 

[wockawocka]

A 5D4, for sports too?

 

[pwp]

Yawn...wake me up when there is something with a genuine ring about it.
This attempt at 5D4 hype is straight mush.

When you take a look at that rig it's video time. So 4k shooting, I suppose.

And yeah! Even with a 5D3 you can make decent sports pictures, at least I could . A 1DX2 machine gun is better, of course.

 

[Diltiazem]

I think this one.

Love the competing hand gestures. "Peace!" "No, Hang Ten, dude!"

Canon is so careful about leaks that they ban photographers from future looks at new models or business. Its possible that a group of people don't care, but Canon has a long memory.

DPR once accidentally released info on a new 1D series model, and were locked out from previewing new 1 series models for years, in spite of being the #1 online photography site.

Normally, only highly respected and careful photographers are allowed a peek at a new model, and then, they are closely monitored by Canon.

Ohhhhh now that could explain a lot...

More likely a false lead cannot image Canon allowing this to be leaked and they would have staff in attendance overseeing whats being shot as Nikon did when Jeremy Walker did a shoot in Scotland on the Nikon Df before its launch. Similarly when David Noton did a piece in South Africa on the Canon 5DS.

That's Kodak realising their marketing mistake regards digital making a reappearance with their updated Box Brownie.
The pocket version.

Agreed, nothing to even see here. Just trying to get everyone riled up a bit.

I can't even tell if it's a Canon, looks more like a Pentax

Actually I can just about imagine I can see a mirror box bump like the 1DX2 has ;D

I think I see the wifi bump well recognized from the 1Dx2. And it's aint any other smaller camera than the well known 5D serires, so IMO it's 5D M4 for real.

And f*.ck the hood! Why even bother discussing such a stupid detail?

 

[unfocused]

You guys need to look closer. It's obvious it has a 24 mp sensor, shoots 7 fps, has one SD and one CFast slot and does 4K. Looks like the dynamic range at base ISO has improved a little, but no change in high ISO performance.

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.

I'm more of the belief -- however small/insignificant this leak may turn out to be -- that a minor internet celebrity with a host of sponsor tags on his IG feed wanted to 'first' the world and did something he shouldn't.

It's also quite possible that the photography crew he was with were the ones under NDA and he was just the subject of their shoot. Shame on them for letting this out in that case -- that's on them.

So my money's sitting firmly on the 'legal action imminent' or 'he doesn't actually have a 5D4 and he completely made this up for likes/hits/views' than this having been approved by Canon in advance.

This is an example why you need to push 5 stop in post, right?? Ha ha ha ;D ;D

Have a nice day.
