Canon set to hold an “EOS 5D” event in Japan on August 27 (to display the EOS 5D Mark IV?)

eos 5d mark iv

Canon Japan announced a series of “EOS 5D”-related events to be held in Japan on August 27. Is this to introduce the EOS 5D Mark IV?

While there is no explicit mention of new products, it seems to fit pretty well with a EOS 5D Mark IV announcement on August 25 or 25. If the EOS 5D Mark IV is in the picture above it could be the one on that’s on the very left (though you can not see a “Mark IV” moniker).

If I got the machine translated text right, there will be a first event with seminars and photo exhibitions with 13 photographers, and a nationwide (Japan) event, also with seminars and exhibitions, with 16 photographers.

The events seem to be all about the history of the EOS 5D series, from the beginning to what I guess will likely be the EOS 5D Mark IV.

We still do not have reliable information about the specifications of the EOS 5D Mark IV. 24MP or 28MP sensor resolution are both rumoured, WiFi and/or GPS should also be on board.

What to expect to be announced by Canon before Photokina 2016 (EOS 5D Mark IV and more)

It’s not just about the EOS 5D Mark IV. We are getting closer to the most important Canon announcement of the year so I thought it would be a good idea to sum up what we can expect Canon to announce. I give different ratings. The most likely date for EOS 5D Mark IV and other announcements is August 25 or August 26.

Announcements set for the end of August:

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV (all rumors). Likely the most anticipated DSLR of the year and still no reliable specs. Will it have 24MP or 28MP? First EOS 5D Mark IV product page already showed up – [CW5]

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS Mark II. Said to be the new kit lens for the EOS 5D Mark IV. Still no specifications. Product page showed up on the Internet – [CW5]

Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III. This lens too will be announced soon. A product page showed up. No specs – [CW5]

Canon W-E1 WiFi adapter. This has just leaked a few days ago. Canon will enter the market with their own WiFi adapter for SD card slots – [CW5]

Announcements that are less likely:

Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM. Not sure what to think about this. There have been rumors about a replacement for the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS but I always thought the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS was the lens that replaced the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS – [CW3]

A prosumer Canon EOS M body. This is becoming the white unicorn. No reliable information, just speculation and a lot of wishful thinking. Let’s give it a [CW3]

New EF-M lenses for the EOS M system. There are patents, and rumors. We also have reason to believe that Canon started to take their EOS M system seriously. There will be more EF-M lenses, I am just not sure if we will see those lenses in 2016 – [CW3]

It’s barely 3 weeks until the day we expect Canon to make their announcements. Stay tuned, we will soon know some specifications.

First Canon EOS 5D Mark IV product page live at DigitalRev

UPDATE: the page has been removed.

Edit: changed post title since it was a bit misleading. They do not accept pre-order right now.

Still not sure that the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV may be announced soon? Change your mind.

The announcement is expected for August 25/26. But well known online retailer DigitalRev already has a dedicated product page for the EOS 5D Mark IV, though without any specs or pictures. However, if you want to be among the first to get this highly anticipated camera, you can register to be notified as soon as pre-orders are available (just click the orange “Notify Me” button”).

We know very little about specs so far. The most rumored sensor resolution is either 24MP or 28MP. It will likely feature WiFi and GPS, Dual Pixel AF is also likely, as is a new AF system. We will soon know more.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV coming with 28MP sensor? [CW3]

canon rumorscanon rumors

Amongst all those unreliable if not faked Canon EOS 5D Mark IV rumors, we have another one to add.

Our sources always told us the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV will have a 28MP sensor. We just got another mention on this sensor resolution (thanks), though from a new source.

Other rumors suggest a 24MP resolution, the latest murmurings talk 30MP (which I don’t consider anything to be taken seriously).

Be aware that so far there are no reliable leaks on the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. The only thing you really can count on is an announcement at the end of August  (so it gets ready for Photokina in September). Hence, for the time being keep the salt at hand. Given Canon’s newly developed secrecy, the first reliable information will show up just a few weeks before the announcement.

Update: Another mention of Canon EOS 5D Mark IV announcement at the end of August (25/26) [CW4]

Update: Some very blurry images of a supposed Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera have been posted at Northlight Images.

This morning (in EU, last night in US) we reported a rumor suggesting the highly anticipated Canon EOS 5D Mark IV will most likely be announced on August 26. Now another announcement date leaked on the web, August 25. The one day difference may be because of different geographic areas: 8/25 in North America, 8/26 in Europe. Given two different mentions on practically the same date I upgrade the rumor to CW4.

So, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is finally coming. Stay tuned!
