Canon 1D X Mark II to Feature 4K Video But No 4K on Canon 5D Mark IV?

October 6, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Canon 1D X Mark II Mockup

New rumors from Canon Rumors point to an upcoming Canon 1D X replacement will feature 4K video capture. Unfortunately though, the same rumors say that the 1D X Mark II will be the only next-gen Canon DSLR to offer 4K video capture at launch.

Of course, that would mean that the oft-rumored 5D Mark IV wouldn’t feature 4K video as an option at launch. Does the “at launch” clarification mean that a firmware upgrade could unlock it later down the line?

We have to remember, of course, that these are rumors but I still want to bang my head on the desk at even the suggestion that the next generation of Canon DSLRs will continue to neuter their video capabilities.

    Has Canon or any market research firm ever learned how many owners of a Mark 3 actually use the video or 4K video function?
