These are going to be announced for Photokina. 

 

The lenses speak for themselves, the 5D mk IV will be a 30.4mp camera with a similar AF system as the 1D-X mk II, dual pixel CMOS, touch screen, 4K, 1080p 60 FPS, 720P 120 FPS, 7 FPS continuous shooting, anti flicker system, built in WiFi/GPS/NFC, 422 8 bit 500mpbs MJPEG (some won't like the big files this will give) .

 

As expected, the 5D mkIV is more geared to video than the 5Ds.

Hmmm, I was thinking sports AF     then, with 30Mps

 

   then hmm, 7 Fps  :wacko:

 

  have they missed a trick by a couple of FPS?     A 30Mps semi sports camera!

The 5D IV is certainly a much more reasonable offering than the 5Ds ®.

The camera has shed a bit of weight: 
mk IV: 150.7 x 116.4 x 75.9mm, 890 grams
mk III: 152mm × 116.4mm × 76.4mm, 945 grams

the question I am asking is should I sell my 24-105 and get the newer one ?

Well, the old 24-105mm L isn't super-hot 

And the new one may be improved, but only tests will tell.

Rumoured specs EF 16-35mm f2.8 L IS USM III:

• 16 elements in 11 groups (old: 16 elements in 12 groups)
  
• 3 aspherical, 2 UD elements (old: 3 aspherical, 2 UD elements) 
  
• 790 grams (old: 640 grams)
  

Rumoured specs EF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM II:

• 17 elements in 12 groups (old: 18 elements in 13 groups)
  
• 4 aspherical elements (old: 3 aspherical, 1 UD)
  
• 795 grams (old: 690 grams)
  
• 10 blade aperture (weird??)
  

Pretty beefy... looks like the 16-35/4 is going to be a compact option after all (being 25 grams lighter than the 16-35/2.8 II). By the way, has the 17-40 finally met its end?
