Specifications
I think the 5D Mark IV will be the first canon DSLR with real 1080p.
Release next week.
Preliminary specs
Best is to provide original sources
I'm almost in shock that Canon is actually gonna put all this in a 5D! I never thought i'd see the day that they would do this with a Non "C" badged Camera. Good for Canon. I suspect this will be a major success for them. I am surprised that they are sticking with CF cards, tho that could be a selling point for users who are loaded with those cards.
500 Mbits mjpeg mode, 422 recording?? from what source ? I can not see anything about it in any source ..
Any Clog?
Must be, as it is main trend now.
This one I do not remember, one of the rumors.
If they don't use pixel binning or a full sensor read out the crop for UHD will be around 1.7x which will be smaller than APS-C size. Tough to get excited about that crop or the 500 Mbps codec. An MFT camera with Speedbooster can provide less of a crop plus an extra stop of light gathering.
You forgot to mention 8 bit recording.
I see no reason to get exited from a video perceptive of things: probably a cropped 4k UHD video ~ 1,75x crop factor + MJPG codec which is an absolutely ancient and terrible to use (it has no hardware acceleration in modern editing programs and consumes a lot of recording and storage media).
As a still camera I'm sure it will be great thought!
yeah, Canon just reselling what they can nothing breath taking.
At least they're finally putting 4K in a body which will probably cost less than $5000.
It'll also be interesting to see what the magic lantern folks can do with it once the firmware is dumped.
Yes and that's about 2 years from now once there is a stable hack for it. I can scale my raw footage to 4K image out of my 5D M3 that looks good right now.
5D4 specs are ok.. For me the 5D3 is all that I need in a camera I know it does not have 14 Stops of DR but if you use it's 12 spots properly you can pull-off beautiful imagery. Plus a bonus ML RAW what else can you ask for.

What is the ML progress for latest bodies? As I understand it is not much.
Ugh - the words magic lantern remind me that I still have my 50D
@TrackZillas my point exactly.Thank you.
Use the equipment that you own, live the life and don't get addicted to the new name of outdated technology ;-)
Updated specs in first post.
I'm not sure I could be less impressed.
I took myself forward to the future and back and I must say I ended up buying the canon camera again 4 years from now just because they released a new one that was above and beyond other manufacturers offerings and it played so nicely with my L series lenses. Lesson learn live the life save your prime equipment (Lenses) since it doesn't scream and ask you for food.
