Movie recording has been a standard feature in all Canon DSLR bodies since the launch of the 5D Mark II in November 2008, and has proven popular with a wide range of people, both amateurs and professional film makers, having been used in advertisements, music videos, television programmes and even feature length films in some cases.

The new DSLR will include 4K video, which is an emerging standard for high resolution video files, and is bigger than full 1080p HD found on many current DSLR models.

The name comes from it having around 4,000 pixels of horizontal resolution, even though current standards, 720p and 1080p refer to the number of pixels in vertical resolution.

The camera will be able to record at a frame rate of 24P, using Motion-JPEG compression. Approximately 80%, vertically and horizontally, of the 35mm full-frame sensor, will be used when recording in 4K.

TechRadar will update you on all the details of the new camera as they emerge.
