Canon EOS 5D Mark IV release date in Japan is September 8th, new lenses following in October

Are you ready for tomorrow’s Canon EOS 5D Mark IV announcement? Stay tuned on Canon Watch for information and pre-order links.

Some new tidbits about the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV emerged. Nokishita Camera reports that the EOS 5D Mark IV will be released in Japan on September 8th. This fits with a rumor I got suggesting the EOS 5D Mark IV will start shipping in the US before September 14th.

The EF 24-105mm F4L IS II USM and EF 16-35mm F2.8L III USM lenses are scheduled to be released late October and mid October, respectively.

See here all release dates in Japan:

• EOS 5D Mark IV body: September 8
• EOS 5D Mark IV EF 24-70mm F4L IS USM kit: September 8
• EOS 5D Mark IV EF 24-70mm F2.8L II USM Kit: September 8
• EOS 5D Mark IV EF 24-105mm F4L IS II USM kit: late October
• EF 24-105mm F4L IS II USM: late October
