More 5D Mark IV Rumors: 18MP & 24MP Sensors in Testing, 8fp Shooting Speed
From NL:
A report (thanks) of 5D4 testing, where there is still a mix between 18 and 24MP. 24MP is the likely final outcome, with the lower MP sensor testing AF speed and buffer management issues (less than 8FPS is the likely shooting speed).
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV will focus on low light events, wildlife, and sports photography. The DSLR camera is said to come with improved video and still performance and features, and with just a modest increase in resolution. It would be a direct competitor to the Nikon D750.
Canon has spent a lot of money on 5D Mark IV project, with the hope of a big jump in features and performance over the more-than-capable EOS 5D Mark III.
The rumor mill also in talks that the EOS 5D Mark III sales are still good and that may delay the release of the EOS 5D Mark IV until after the EOS-1D X Mark II is announced.
