Canon 5D Mark IV (forecast/rumors)

[D-B-J]

It's taken this long to try and match the D8x0 series?! hahahahaha

Well the difference is that Canon actually makes significant changes rather than a few firmware tweaks and a new number plate.

Being this far behind doesn't impress me. BUT, if it does have 65AF points and 7FPS with a FX 36mp sensor, I'll be impressed.

So the extra 4 points and 1 FPS is worth the upgrade?

Oh no. Extra four? I only have 51 points... And 4fps at full res..

I am confused.

Right now it has 61 points and 6 fps.

I'd just want real spot metering, 1080p 60fps and 4k.

He has a Nikon

36MP sensor ha, sounds like a Sony sensor to me.
Dont buy into all the rumors hype, when we hear a serious word from Canon then I will believe it.

Wow thats one expensive camera ^^

The 5D Mklll was around $4500. I would expect that a new body to have a pro price about $800-1000 less than that $3799.

Canadian dollars? IIRC it was still almost as much as it sells for now ($3,300). Which is more than the $2,700 5D MKII.

My pro price on the 5D Mklll was around $3500 Canadian. I paid under $7000 Canadian for my 1Dx

I just want dynamic range and an A/D converter that isn't ****.

New tech. Great. I don't think canon need to put in a 36mp sensor, from what I see now the 22mp one is a go to wedding and events camera for a big crowd, they might lose the high iso advantage putting a marketing size sensors in place

Totally agree, the true appeal of the 5D III is its good general use capabilities, if you put a hige PM sensor on it you will turn it into a good studio camera but push away the wedding and event pro crowd.

I think they could at least do 24 MP. That's not too many for event people, and it gives a little more crop leniency (which would also be good for wedding/event shooters)

I can't see them going to a 98% VF. That'd be dumb. They really need to push the boat out with it feel though. It seems offerings from the competitions are more appealing to those who aren't tied too deeply into one ecosystem.

Would 22 over 24 really matter? Maybe yes, it wouldnt matter to me

I think better Dynamic Range will be more beneficial then extra MP

Me too, but if Nikon/Sony can do both better than Canon, I don't think getting up to speed with a decent 24 MP sensor with good DR is too much to ask.

You have to remember that storage and buffer speeds are getting so good that 40mb files are no big deal.

I hope it's not 36 MP. How about improved dynamic range and better ISO.
