Canon EOS 5D Mark 5

EOS 5D Mark 5

Information about Canon’s replacement for the EOS 5D Mark 4


This page first set up after the 5D mk45 appeared, when we thought a good guestimate for the 5D5 – January 2020…

Since then Mirrorless has advanced a long way and it might be wondered if the 5DV might ever appear – In Octo 2019 it briefly appears on the Radar – maybe for later in 2020

A note to new readers – We receive all kinds of rumours and info – some more believable/risible than others. Use your common sense when reading it, and remember that it’s here for entertainment as much as anything else.

If we waited until we were absolutely sure about a comment or rumour, the pages would be a series of product announcements and not much more. We hope you enjoy it ;-) If you feel you need a dose of something more earnest and serious then do pay a visit to our (rumour free) article and reviews.

2019 October

14th After years of silence the possibility of a 5D mk5 is mentioned at [CR] – perhaps the 5D mk4 isn’t the end of the 5D line, although the likelihood of a 5Ds mk2 is somewhat less – this is a popular suggestion for a move to mirrorless [EOS RS page]

2016 August

26th The 5D4 is announced.

July

30th Still no sign of a 5D4, so perhaps the 2012 suggestion of 2018 for the mk5 needs pushing back a bit.

2015 February

  • 5th The imminent launch of the 5Ds (and r) raises interesting questions as to where the 5D line is headed, particularly with the suggestion that a 5D C and 5D mk IV will appear this year.

2012 March

  • 3rd The 5D mark 3 was announced yesterday, so the mark 5 is perhaps 6 years away (2018)
  • Hopefully by then, the page will be wider to take the full timeline below.
  • How long will the 5D model line go on, will the XXXD line run out of numbers? Will we be on the EOS 950D by 2018
  • I’m expecting at least 8k video, and maybe an electronic viewfinder – no, that’s too radical for only 6 Canon years ;-)

That’s it – Nothing here to see yet!
