The new Canon 5D Mark IV is so much better than I thought it could be. I have only had this body for a month, but coming from a Canon 7D, the 5DM4 is so much better with: button control placement, focus is fast and accurate, viewfinder information is magnificent, the framing level indicator helps me keep my images straight, and image quality with the same lenses (5DM4 vs 7D) are so much better with the full frame sensor. The Canon 5D Mark IV is everything I needed in an update. The camera is worth every dollar if you are looking at purchasing a camera body in the 5D series. One may need to work harder or save up, but if this camera body is within your budget, just buy it. I have had my 7D for years and needed a full frame upgrade. The newest bodies in the 5D series are great and the 5DM4 combines a lot of those excellent features into a camera body that excites. I am back into photography with this Canon! NB

I have been shooting Canon DSLR's for close to 10 years now. I started with a 40D, then a 7D, then a 5D2, 5D3 and as soon as the 5D4 was announced I was drooling. Initially the dual pixel raw was the most interesting feature to me. Once I started using the camera, it was the continuous video AF and live view AF shooting. The touch screen was a surprisingly pleasant new feature that I find more useful than I thought I would. I love the GPS geotagging every shot while I travel. The improvements in dynamic range are understated. You can shoot for the highlights and recover shadows by 2 stops easy without excessive noise. The only thing to keep in mind is with the higher MP count, you will need to shoot with slightly faster shutter speeds than you were previously used to. If you are coming from anything prior to a 5D3, this upgrade is a real no brainer. If you can afford it, it's a very worthwhile upgrade from the 5D3 even.

I’ve been a Canon user for many years so I’m familiar with their products. I used to shoot professionally but changed careers several years ago. I picked this camera because I felt it was the best camera available in this price range from Canon. So far I’m happy with it. The image quality is very nice, the high ISO performance is good for a camera with this pixel count. I think there are so many options and they are all very good so you really have to pick the camera for what you want to shoot. If you want to shoot sports your probably going to want a 7D MKII or a 1DX MKII. I picked the 5D because I wanted the increase in MP and high ISO performance vs the 7D and I didn’t want to spend what a 1DX costs. I also already own several L series Canon lenses so that keeps me in the Canon ecosystem. If I was starting from scratch this would be a tougher choice with Nikon’s newly announced D850.

Outstanding camera, image quality, better metering, AF is outstanding even in AI Servo, the customizable controls, touch screen focusing for stills or video, wifi, all reasons to upgrade. I love my 5D3, but the added features are a pleasure to work with on this.

I was already using a “team” of 7D Mark II and 5Ds R cameras, when I added my first 5D Mark IV, in early 2018. The 5D Mark IV brought better AF and built-in GPS to the table. I added my second 5D Mark IV in mid-2024. Macro photography, in field conditions, remains a priority, and Canon EOS EF DSLRs, EF lenses, and Macro flash still do that so very well.

I Love this camera!!!! Upgraded from a canon rebel SL1. This is top notch and easy to use! Spend your time in the manual and it’ll pay off! Fast camera, sharp pictures, gorgeous colors. Game changer.

I upgraded from a canon to 60d, and decided if I was going to go full frame I may as well go all the way, I've not been disappointed. Pictures are so much better, especially in low light where I need to up the ISO, even at 6800 there's almost no noise at all.

Been waiting along time to get this camera. Weighed all the options...this camera won out, by far. The R5 will be way out of my price range and the 5D MK 4 hit most of my important check marks. Fantastic Camera!!!

I have many cameras, but I have always wanted to upgrade my 5DM3 to the IV, and everyone would always say... "Why not get the mirrorless?" My input is, I already have mirrorless cameras of different brands, Fujifilm XT-2 & 3, Sony A7RII, Sony RX10 II, and enjoy the different uses I get from using for those cameras for personal uses, but I still wanted to have my workhorse handy. I started with a Canon, and I trust a Canon to help me get my job done when I do any photoshoot. It has never let me down, and the quality I get from the images is tack-sharp. I can tell the difference from my 5DM3 to this new upgrade. I am so happy to have this bad-boy camera in my line up of cameras. #don'tstoplearning #keeponshooting #canon :) <3

I have 2 of the "original" Canon 5d cameras. Yep they still work wonderfully! That said, the technology since those cameras came out has changed tremendously. It was time for a change. My new EOS 5D M IV is great. All the bells and whistles one could ask for, with a nice quiet shutter, and some wonderful touch screen features. I am a still photographer but do plan on exploring motion in the future. I use this particular camera in studio and sync to my Mac and iPad for a larger preview. Its wonderful on an iPad. Battery life is great and working with strobes is awesome - so easy to connect. Great changes in technology…love the wifi, and gps features. I shoot primarily in Manual, but have really enjoyed some of the other preset features in this camera. Absolutely no issues. Thrilled! Seriously wondering why I took so long to upgrade. :)

The quality of this camera is excellent. The colors are vibrant and bold, and the clarity is outstanding. Although it’s on the heavy side, a camera grip definitely helps out! I definitely recommend this camera. Such a great investment.

Great camera upgraded from canon80D huuuge difference. And Low light performance is off the charts I get sharp photos even in non ideal lighting Highly recommend

The cameras auto focus has been greatly improved, the image quality has also improved from the 5D III. I shot several sporting events, football, and basketball and would say that when it comes to sports it focused better than my Canon 1DX. I also shot some portraits and was happy with the photos. I would recommend but not at the current price of $3,499 plus $349 for the grip makes the camera almost $4000, this is just to high a price.

Outstanding camera for any level of skill. From the amateur to professional, this camera is easy to use and powerful. Also, a good value for the level of features and sophistication. Anyone will love this powerful camera.

Wow. Just wow. Don't listen to the haters commenting about 4k video etc.. This camera works great, and the 4k video, is very good. I am sure that if you are a pro videographer - you'll be looking at a dedicated video camera - but for me it works just fine. Two tips - make sure to format all your memory cards in exFAT to prevent the video's being broken into 4GB segments. And the camera when recording to 4k - does produce HUGE files that will need to be processed down into more manageable video codec. Handbrake works great for that.

Solid camera, it has been highly rated all these years for a reason. For photos, it is great, for video...well, it will get the job done, but it is heavy to use on a gimbal.

Huge improvements over the 5D2, 6D, and 5D3. Very happy with it as is. Do not shoot video so don't care about that. For strictly stills, excellent resolution, AF is awesome, body feels good in hand. Very pleased with it.

If you are a Canon DSLR shooter with experience using Canon's earlier versions of this camera model (i.e., 5d, 5dii, 5diii), you will find this version of the camera to surpass the previous versions in nearly every way. The camera sensor captures higher resolution at higher ISOs than the 5diii, and the dynamic range is better too. I shoot Nikon, Sony, Fuji as well as Canon, and time and again I go back to my Canon gear if I am serious about capturing the best possible photographs (for those interested in movies, there are better alternatives from Sony and Panasonic, however). If you are a photographer who has an investment in Canon glass and are ready to move up from an earlier version of the 5d (or 6d, for that matter), this is a worthy upgrade. Recommended!

I've been waiting for a few month to purchase this camera, and I am SO glad I did! I'm a wedding photographer and i finally made the jump from my 6D's to this model and I couldn't be any happier. Definitely a learning curve on the functions and buttons from switching bodies, but that's expected. I love all the upgraded functions and qualities - especially going to a dual card slot now for back up. I've used it for a number of weddings and other shoots since I purchased it and I am really pleased. As enticing as the touch screen feature was, I actually decided to disable it because I'm nervous about accidentally deleting the images haha. Overall a great product!

Had a ten year old Canon. Bought this for a replacement and OMG. In love at the first shutter click. So many features have not had a chance to muse all of them. Great work Canon
