Yet another mention of 4K on the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

View Post

We were the first to leak it (in July 2014), and we got another pertinent suggestion a month ago. While we have never been quoted by any of the big rumor sites, it appears some of those sites are now also starting to suggest the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (or whatever it will be named) might feature 4K video recording.

As I wrote in the past, 4K on the [shoplink 2431]EOS 5D Mark III[/shoplink] replacement has become matter of common sense. It is hard to imagine Canon can afford to announce the fourth iteration of their high popular EOS 5D line-up without featuring 4K.

The announcement of the EOS 5D Mark IV is still a matter of speculation. Somewhere in Summer or late Summer/Fall is likely. Stay tuned…

Why does the Canon EOS 80D have “4k Movie” listed under image formats

EOS 80D

This was noted by one of our readers on Twitter (thanks @giupipia).

If you head over to the Canon EOS 80D specification page, then have a look under “Specifications -> Recording System”, you’ll see that the following is stated (emphasis mine):

Video: MOV (4K Movie: Motion JPEG, Full HD Movie: MPEG4 AVC/H.264*; Audio: Linear PCM), MP4 (Movie: MPEG4 AVC/H.264*; Audio: AAC)

The EOS 80D does not have a 4k video mode. I wonder why “4K Movie” is there. Is this a special time-lapse mode?

Any ideas?
