Canon Announces the EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR

[wockawocka]

3599 gbp for the uk, Canon, you been smoking crack. £3000 I would of bought two, £3299 I would of bought one for a start but £3599 is enough for me to stick with my 5dsr's.

It's not like I can't afford it, I can get 20% of the tax back. Just a very toppy rrp.

That's some positive news. What's your feeling on kit price with the new 24-105 when it comes out?

Some Canon web store prices (all AUD):

* 5D III: $3349
* 5D III + 24-105: $4299
* 5D III + 24-70: $5909
* 5D IV: $5699
* 5D IV + 24-70: $8399

Presumably a new 24-105 II kit will cost a few hundred more than the old one, so I'd expect it to be something like $6899 or $6999. I take comfort in the fact that Michaels prices are a lot cheaper ($4999 body, $7299 24-70 kit), so their 24-105 kit might be around $6299.

1.74x crop for 4k. MJPG files. LOL I'm out. I'll continue to use gorgeous canon lenses like my 85mm 1.2L II, but I'm switching to Sony bodies. That was a dumb and forceful mistake to go against the videographer market. That market doesn't care much for the C series. I would rather rent an Alexa Mini.

Flash sync is 1/200?

Evolution of New Canon 5D cameras:
1) Drooling for the leaked rumors
2) Crabby whinging about how it has poor this n that, it's not FF mirrorless -- Nikon, Sony, Fuji and iPhones are better...
3) The people who buy one find it dependable, usable, well-thought-out; produces great results.
4) The whingers find something else to whinge about. Whinging is a way of life for some.
5) Repeat steps 1-4 for next upgrade cycle.

I love that Briticism verb whinge. It's like turbo-whining.

It says external recorder does FullHD with 4:2:2. So something like Ninja2 would pair up with that good? Or is there something better (in reasonable price range)?

I'd rather have no pixel binning on 4k. The Sony A7s doesnt either. But this camera is 30mp. Of course there has to be a crop if you want 1:1 in 4k. The a7s is great because you get FF 4k but you also only get a 12MP stills camera. This is a Stills camera first foremost. Period. Have some cheese.

Indeed, it sounds worse with the British spelling.

As you can see, this thread got put in the "EOS Bodies - For Stills" section :

 

[norb]

so two years after Nikon releases the D750, we get:

.5 more FPS
6mp more
10 more AF points
4K versus 1080 video
Dual pixel AF

And it costs us $1500 more.

These are specs that I would have expected in a $2000 6D2

WELL said!! The 5DIV is really disappointing

I don't know the video market, but at the last wedding I photographed, the videographers were using a pair of the C series and seemingly loving them much more than whichever 5D they formerly used. They still had their 5D2 or 5D3, but were using it as a 3rd or 4th camera.

What's the new knob next to the joystick?

I started as a photographer, but have been doing a lot of film work over the last year (just finished a documentary on water research in an Indian tiger reserve... a lot of fun to film and make). I was waiting for the 5D IV, but to be honest, I am a bit underwhelmed. hmmmm I'll have to think, this is not a clear cut decision, and the 1.7 crop kills me... I pay for a FF camera, for that special look....

From what i can tell, a customisable button... i.e., set it to ISO, and you can press it a use a dial to change ISO... I like that!
