Canon EOS 5D Mark IV to be announced before NAB 2016? [CW4]

Another rumor about the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV announcement. It is already common knowledge that the EOS 5D Mark IV will be announced in Q1 of 2016. This rumor isn’t ading anything new, it’s speculating about the exact date of the announcement.

The latest EOS 5D Mark IV announcement murmurings suggest Canon will reveal the EOS 5D Mark IV replacement before NAB 2016. The rumor says nothing about how far in advance of NAB 2016 we will see the announcement.

My guess is March 2016. For two reasons. Announcing the EOS 5D Mark IV in March would allow Canon to have it on display for both NAB and WPPI (the latter oriented to wedding photographers). And Canon did the same with the EOS 5D Mark III, announced March 2012.

It’s easy to rate this rumor CW4. The Q1 announcement of the EOS 5D Mark IV, beside being rumored by various sources since months, is just very likely to happen in the indicated time frame also because of previous announcements of the EOS 5D series.

If March 2016 will be the EOS 5D Mark IV announcement date, then we should see first possible specs around November – December. Stay tuned…
