Canon 5D Mark IV Due for Photokina

April 8, 2016 By Eric Reagan 10 Comments

Rumors of the Canon 5D Mark IV continue to trickle in. The latest word comes from Canon Rumors, which believes Canon will launch the 5D Mark IV in the August/September time frame ahead of Photokina (in late September).

There are really no reliable specs for the camera at this point. Previous rumors have suggested everything from 28MP to 4K video to CFast card slots. None of those specs are either confirmed or ruled out at this point.

NAB is just about 10 days away, so the rumor mill may pick up a bit over the next couple weeks leading up to whatever Canon’s news is for NAB.

We are in pre-NAB territory now, so expect the video-centric rumors to pick up in the days ahead. As video and DSLRs go, there is nothing quite as juicy as a good Canon 5D-series rumor.

The latest in a long line of rumors about the Canon 5D Mark III successor suggests Canon will launch the EOS 5D X before NAB 2016 in April. [Read more…]

New Canon 1-Series and 5D X Rumors

February 11, 2013 By Eric Reagan 6 Comments

Canon 1 Series

All recent rumors point to 3 key cameras for Canon in 2013 – the 7D Mark II, 70D and Rebel T5i. The latest rumors on the Canon front, however, point to even further out into 2014.

The oft-rumored high-MP Canon DSLR seems to be trending toward a 2014 launch date instead of this year. Rumored sensor sizes are 40MP or better on a full frame chip for the EOS-1 series body.

Additional rumors point to a quicker-turnaround for the 5D Mark III than we saw in the last generation – perhaps as early as 2014. The 5D X (or whatever the camera would be called) would likely see a marginal kick in specs as compared to the jump in performance we saw from the 5D Mark II to the 5D Mark III.

If rumors have it right though, Canon’s response could be a throwdown of both the resolution and dynamic range gauntlet later this year. [Read more…]
