Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 14, 2015 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2015 I received an email from a NAB show visitor today who had spoken off the record to Canon and was told the company believes a 4K 5D Mark IV would completely overshadow the recently released C100 Mark II and so wouldn't happen, but that Canon LOG would likely go into the camera to allow shot-matching with the XC10.So to segment specs based on price, Canon is allegedly sticking to 1080p on future DSLRs. The exception is the 4K XC10 which isn't a competitor to the C100 Mark II or C300 Mark II as it features a tiny 1" sensor and fixed camcorder-style zoom lens by comparison.Read the full article Christina Ava 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymossville Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 That's fine with me, I don't shoot with Canon cameras anyway. They'll change their minds when sales shrivel up because pro stills shooters also shoot a lot of video. 4k video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 14, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2015 Good point there... pro stills and enthusiast stills photographers want to take stills from 4K video and Canon doesn't have that option on their biggest lines - 7D and 5D.

Christina Ava Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 "there’s a perception at Canon and Nikon that perhaps Sony, Panasonic and Samsung have 4K TVs to sell, and so have only introduced 4K in their cameras as a marketing ploy and that really consumers don’t really care about advanced large sensor 4K video on DSLRs"thats key, of course they want that, because they want to sell those 4k new tvs...on the other hand i cant believe they will stick to 1080 p only, they might give something better like 2.5K..

Jimmy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Seems a bit of an odd statement to me, considering they already have the 1DC. I got offered one for £2500 the other day, so if all else fails, it is still a great route if you want 4K in a DSLR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolas MAILLET Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Poor poor poor Canon...5D mark IV with C-Log is great to know, but sure the A7s will be there too in the competition... Hope for them they won't sell it more than 3K bucks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animan Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 hmm no offense but an email from 'a nab visitor' who spoke to 'canon' and 'believes' the 5d4 will be 1080 is pretty vague as a source!

johnnymossville Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 If anything, this is a huge opening for Nikon to stake a claim to the 4k/DSLR. I know, there's the 1DC, but that's a pretty small niche camera. Not sure they will, but it would definitely be a point of differentiation between the two heavyweight pro still shooting camera companies.

dsw Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I have no interest in mastering to 4k yet but you can't even try to pry my 4k cameras out of my hands. It just opens the doors for me as a run & gun videographer (weddings mostly) to be able to crop and recompose in post. I do this all day long with photographs...it's about freaking time I can do it for video. Plus my frame grabs when I need them are much more usable. Every now and then I even stabilize in post which usually amounts to a crop. I still have my 5D3 for photography use but almost never use it for video anymore. Canon is dead wrong if they think 4k isn't a must have. Though granted, I still have yet to master out to 4k for projects...though I do enjoy watching my home videos on my 4k tv which I do maintain at 4k. Maybe my kids will thank me someday for their high quality home videos. johnnymossville and Jimbo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Floppy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I think the "DSLR revolution" is over.With great proper/affordable video choices, I think it's time to think this product is great for video, and this product is great for photos (which I'm sure the Mark IV will be), not an hybrid product that doesn't excel at both.

premini Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 there wont be a big difference with a mark iii, what'd be the big selling point of the mark iv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 14, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2015 If Jimmy does not buy that 1D C at £2500 I think he should do his friend a favour and put him in touch with a few people on this forum...Only fair Christina Ava 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronChicago Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Who cares at this point. I'm guessing 5D will still remain the popular photography camera. There's way too many other good options for video now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christina Ava Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 really now thats like 3500 euros. ok was that camera in the bottom of the sea for 3 days? or maybe lost in a dune in egypt?If Jimmy does not buy that 1D C at £2500 I think he should do his friend a favour and put him in touch with a few people on this forum...Only fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
