Canon - EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Camera (Body Only) - Black

I upgraded from a Canon 4000D (T100) crop camera to this incredible 5D full frame camera and consider it one of the best purchases I've ever made, considering the cost. PROs: 1. Value for the money. 2. Canon's high quality standards make this "the" camera among many other choices. 3. Ergonomics - feels great in the hand, easy to reach buttons and dials when needed. 4. Easy to use menu system, which provides many powerful features. 5. Large touch screen makes it super easy to target subjects, change ISO/Shutter Speed/Aperture settings on the fly. 6. Takes both compact flash and SSD cards. 7. Long battery life (even more with the BG-E20 battery grip accessory). 8. Takes an AC power supply option. 9. Huge assortment of prime and telephoto zoom EF lenses to choose from. 10. Very large operator's manual, and definitely worth reading it. CONs: 1. No built-in flash. 2. Heavy - even heavier with the BG-E20 battery grip (as great an accessory that it is). 3. Hard to reach/adjust viewfinder diopter.

The touch screen features make this camera body incredibly convenient. As well as it's build in wi fi capability. As far as weight it is a heavier body than the 60D which is a crop sensor frame. This again is a convenient camera, especially considering that Apple has not yet updated their software to support RAW files from the Mark IV. The fact that you can print RAW files at 16x20 without any pixel distortion is amazing. I can use my iPhone to shoot photos, change any settings and preview photos from inside my toasty warm vehicle in the dead of winter catching the Northern Lights. The speed at which it can take a photo when you tap the screen is impressive- although it is even faster when not in screen view mode. I love all of the new point options for focus targets. All the photos are with the Canon EF 11-24mm lens with no lens filters and MOBILE quality as the only downfall is I can not yet open any RAW files on my desktop until there's been updates to support them.

I have been shooting professionally for about four years with a Canon Rebel T6i, which is still my boo-- BUT there is absolutely nothing like the Mark IV. I'm obviously still learning but can see a high difference in the final product. This camera is a bit heavier but you adjust quickly to the weight and honestly it does everything my T6i could do but better.

The day I got the camera was a early morning so that I could take it to Mt Hood. Right away I loved how fast it performed and tack sharp it was. I've been rolling with the canon 70d for the longest time as a amateur but later turned it from a hobby to a proffession. I watched a lot of reviews and would visit Best Buy to see which camera I would love. I checked out the Sony A7R iii and saw how many Canon users switched to Sony. But really didn't want to be apart of that group with there expensive lens, plus not spend a lot to change and sell my other Canon lenses like Amy other user would. And it was to small for my not so big hands and to light, which is a good thing for others but I wanted something I could have a good grip and a good weight. And I knew if I was to ever drop the Sony I wouldn't be happy. But I'm happy with the Canon 5d marl iv. And soon to be taking more beautiful photographs. The picture I posted isn't the full resolution one because I can only post a 5 mb image

Upgrade from the Canon Rebel T6 to the Canon 5D Mark IV and I am very happy with my choice! Most professionals are going with mirrorless camera bodies but I feel that the colors that the 5D Mark IV are unbeatable. Easy to use and love the touchscreen function.
