Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications

all good But
I wish for a spot meter link to focus.. c'mon guys just that one little stocking stuffer....

It's such a small thing, but I want it so bad. I really don't want to go up to a 1DX2 to get it because in every other regard that is overkill for what I shoot.

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications

I have to admit I'm surprised by 30mp. I guess I am in the minority, not caring about higher mp counts. I do wonder what the high ISO performance will be like. I expect that it will match the 5D III, but may not exceed it. (Just like the 1DX and 1DX II)

That would be a bit disappointing since the 5Ds already beats the 5D3 for high ISO performance. I would hope a 30MP 5DIV would match the 1DX or at least the 6D.

Did the image come with the rumors? If so, I put a lot of faith in them-- I'm very confident that image is real.

If the remote release connection is in place of the "Mark IV" badge, according to rumors, and there is the badge and no remote release spot, why do you think the image is real?

that image showed a canon 5D camera that has never been made before. it doesn't match the 5D, II or III camera housings.

so hard not to think it's legit.

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications

Underwhelming

I agree. The stills guys will be happy with the 30mp. That is nice. But the 4K video specs don't do much for me. I was expecting 60 fps , but without CFast, that will not happen. I was under the impression that this camera would be somewhat video centric, at least as good as the 1DxII, but it is not. (Even the 1DxII video at 8 bit motion JPG is not really great for serious work.) What these specs say to me, is to look around for alternatives. There is no rush to spend $3500 or so. That's fine.

It said the remote release connection is where the Mark III badge was-- which is the bottom right of the camera.

In the leaked image, the Mark IV badge has moved from where the Mark III badge was, to where the "5D" badge was. There's no reason the Mark IV badge would move to be with the 5D badge other than the fact that the remote release was moved to the Mark III badge area. That's why I'm confident.

EDIT: Looks like this is a confusion caused by the removal of the leaked image-- I'm not referring to the mock up that is up right now, I'm referring to the leaked image that was removed.

The image right now is a placeholder/mockup. CR Admin says that he had to take the original leaked image down temporarily.

No 4K P50/60?

If I wanted 4Kp30 i'd buy a GoPro! Everyone knows that broadcast 4K at less than 50fps will be unusable. Seriously this sounds like the 4K part of this body is now just a gimmick to get more people interested.

For a camera that won't likely be updated for another 4 years, this is a serious downer.

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications

Oh no. Stills only -guys might like, but this is bad for video people.
Biggest wall for ML has been CF cards.
Also 4K will no doubt have idiotic codec to make it work with CF cards.
And even it might sometimes be used too much, if you make living with video, these days you absolutely need to offer good slow motion.

I don't like Sony colors, but I also bet they will offer something new in photokina and IBC.
Already great success with their FS-5 and A7S II in the same price bracket.

Oh why oh why Canon! Sad sad CF card.

And, as of right now it can't do what the 5DIII can do with Magic Lantern. I tend to agree with you, the 4K feature is kind of a gimmick for people who just want to say they are shooting 4K.

Rumour is that the A7R III will be very special. The A7R II is already 40 mp, with 4K 30 fps. And it supports external recording of video at 4:2:2. I know that the A7RII has over heating problems, but perhaps the A7RIII fixes those problems and then goes beyond with 4K 60 fps with external recording.

Re: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV Specifications

And 120fps @720P???

You realize this camera has to last 3/4 years and its already way under specced compared to the Sony lineup...

Bye Canon.

I was also kind of surprised that the C300 II recent firmware update did not have 4K 60 fps in it. Very strange thinking these days at Canon.

Isn't it suppose to look more like the EOS 3?

Canon make decisions like that at the highest level and they are well reasoned within the company, it might not make sense to you, but they believe it does to them. Their track record on getting it right seems to point to them knowing what they are doing.

Apple left 4K out of the current Apple TV sighting a comparative lack of available content and bandwidth. Maybe Canon have similar high level reasons.

yes ...it is all I ask
I dont NEED all the rest ... of the 1dx2 .... and I do love the customization..
but - I believe - the basic shooting...needs the spot meter / link ....feature

I guess that's two of us
