Canon 5D MK II
The Canon EOS 5D MK III was launched in 2012 meaning that it has been around for 3 years, making it ripe for a potential successor. In fact a report from last year suggested that the camera’s successor could arrive later this year and it looks like things are well on track. According to a report from Canon Rumors, they claim that the Canon EOS 5D MK IV has undergone testing.
Testing how, you ask? Well what better way to start testing cameras then by giving them to photographers and seeing how they do in the field, right? Canon Rumor’s sources claim that Canon has given out several EOS 5D MK IV bodies to photographers for them to test the device while out and about.
Unfortunately not much is known about the camera at the moment. There have been talks that the EOS 1D X MK II will be sporting a new processor but it is unclear if that processor will make it into the EOS 5D MK IV as well, but hopefully it will. The rumors are also claiming that the camera will be launched towards the end of the year.
In the meantime for photographers who are looking for newer EOS 5D models, earlier this year Canon launched the EOS 5DS and the EOS 5DS R, both of which feature pretty high 50.6MP sensors.
