It appears Canon is set to announce (thanks) the highly anticipated yet not leaked EOS 5D Mark IV towards the end of August. Makes sense since Photokina is happening at the end of September, and most of those in the industry believe the EOS 5D Mark IV will be on display during the show. New source but at least a plausible suggestion. The candidate dates I’ve been told are, in order of likelihood: 26 August, 22 August, and 29 August.

So far no reliable EOS 5D Mark IV specs have leaked. Click here to see all EOS 5D Mark IV rumors. Stay tuned, and keep a grain of salt ready…

A Canon camera has been registered at Indonesian Certification Authority Postel, reports Digicame-Info. It says:

• Equipment: Digital camera
• Model name: Canon DS126601
• Manufacturing: Japan
• Date: July 1, 2016

The registration can be found on the web, though no detailed information can be accessed.

Canon DS126601 doesn’t tell us much. However, according to another bit of leaked information, this camera will have WiFi and GPS on board. We see it in the registration for the same camera at Taiwan NCC (National Communications Commission, picture below).

And that’s all we have. Now the big question is: is this the upcoming Canon EOS 5D Mark IV? If we believe in an announcement before Photokina 2016 (September 2016), as most rumors suggest, then this may well be a reference to the EOS 5D Mark IV. All EOS 5D Mark IV rumors are listed here. Concerning the EOS 5D Mark IV specifications, so far nothing beyond speculation (though plausible) has surfaced.

What do you think?

A spec list taken from a YouTube video by user YannickFilms (the video is in German) is making its rounds.

Fifteen “facts” (read: specs) are suggested for the EOS 5D Mark IV:

• Fact 1: 28 megapixel (maybe 32)
• Fact 2: ISO 100-51200 (204,800)
• Fact 3: 9 frames / second
• Fact 4: 4K video
• Fact 5: headphone jack
• Fact 6: Price: 3500-3600 €
• Fact 7: Touchscreen
• Fact 8: It was already delivered to photographer
• Fact 9: Will probably be presented at the Photokina 2016 in Cologne
• Fact 10: 79 Digic processor
• Fact 11: CFast 2.0 & SD card slots
• Fact 12: Built-in WiFi & GPS
• Fact 13: 61 autofocus points (41 cross type)
• Fact 14: In spite of the new features Reduced weight
• Fact 15: New kit lens (probably new version of the 24- 105mm lens)

Please be aware that the list is based on speculations, possible ones but still speculations. However, as you can see the list has some of the rumors that surfaced in the last months, along with some guessing.

I would usually not post this but I have since all the others are posting it too. It deserves a CW2 because the list is at least plausible. The whole rumor was taken from the video above.

Expect first reliable EOS 5D Mark IV rumors to start coming in towards the end of the month. Stay tuned…

Edit: the original Instagram post was deleted

The picture above was posted on Instagram by user levi_siver. It’s a team working on a Red Bull sponsored surf footage. If you read the text at the bottom of the image, it says “working on a windsurf feature for the new unreleased Canon camera“. When asked by another user if it is the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, levi_silver answered “yes“, and added a smiley.

You can’t really see or recognise very much of the camera. However, it is totally possible that this is the real thing. If we believe in an announcement before Photokina 2016 (and we do), then it is likely that Canon is already working on the promotion material for the EOS 5D Mark IV.

Stay tuned!

New murmurings surfaced on the Internet suggest the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is undergoing field-tests by select photographers. That’s likely if we take the August announcement as pretty certain (I do).

The rumor also mentions the EOS 5D Mark IV will have 4K (leaked first here on CW in 2014), and 1080p video at 120 fps. While the possibility of 4K wasn’t taken seriously at the beginning, despite we insisted on it, now it appears people can’t get enough about posting that the EOS 5D Mark IV will feature 4K. Yeah, it will. Definitely.

Please be aware that it is still very early for reliable EOS 5D Mark IV specs. Since Canon has become extremely secretive some years ago, we do not get anything reliable until a few weeks before the announcement. For the time being we can’t even be sure about the sensor resolution. 24MP is what rumors suggest. However, I am pretty sceptical about this resolution, and have been told that the EOS 5D Mark IV will have a higher resolution, possibly 28MP.

Stay tuned…
