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

I am in awe of this camera! It's my first full frame DSLR camera which I selected after many hours of research. Research can drive one crazy as there's so much material (ads, videos, reviews, reviewer's and personal preferences, etc.) to read before making a decision about such a large purchase. Do the research though to make sure you get the right camera for you. After nearly 3 weeks in Europe I'm sure I made the right choice. Performance was flawless and operation was easy on this feature-rich camera, Menus are complete, concise and rational. This is hugely important as making adjustments is fast - no searching through excessive or confusing menus to find what you need. While some camera menus systems are good some are absolutely Byzantine! Canon's is, IMO, the best. This is also my first Canon after being a lifetime Nikon shooter. Solid construction and great materials are evident. Button layout and overall ergonomics provide me the easiest handling for a camera of this size and weight. Other cameras of this level (which were all great) just didn't seem as easy to handle or were as nimble in my hands. Not having any full frame lenses made the brand change easy for me. As is said "One buys a camera but marries the lens system." IMO it is difficult if not impossible to beat Canon L glass. Some reviewers did not rate this camera at the top for video performance but the few videos I experimented with looked really excellent to me. I'm not a skilled videographer so take that into account. Still shots are off the chart amazing though. The features of this camera are mind-boggling! I was able to learn a limited number of features and modes before my trip so I was able to get some amazing shots. I expect better after I've read the rest of the 600+ page owner's manual. This is a serious camera one grows into and it will remain functionally relevant for a very long time. I LOVE THIS CAMERA..

I used original 5D and 5D MkII but skipped MkIII version due to lack of updates in sensor resolution and dynamic range, especially noisy shadows. I've been using Canon 6D instead for the past three years, and I think that it's one of the best values in camera world. I hesitated to even try out the new 5D MkIV and was contemplating jumping ship over to Sony and their amazing a7R II. Well, I can say I'm extremely glad I went with MkIV. Camera is a huge upgrade from 6D in every sense, especially AF, but also enormous sensor quality upgrade compared to 5D MkIII. I'm using 1DX MkII as well, and I prefer 5D MkIV. Camera body is very light, super responsive, AF performance is on par with 1DX MkII, but sensor is simply phenomenal. Dynamic range is 90% identical to Sony a7R II but you get to keep Canon's beautiful colors and skin tones. 30Mpx is plenty (I'm printing 24x36 regularly) and the files are simply beautiful. I'm not shooting lots of video, but from what I've seen so far, the quality is stunning. Yes, 4K video is using 1.7x crop and MJPG codec is using a lot of memory card space, but the quality is simply amazing. Try it, you won't be disappointed. I know I'm not!

I am not an early adopter, so there is little to say that has not been said before, by others. I will emphasize the most significant reasons I added a 5D Mark IV. The most important factor is the AF, which has not disappointed me, and notably, I have a Nikon D5, for a frame of reference. Unless/Until we can afford a Nikon super-telephoto, perhaps next year, my best bird combo is the 5D IV and EF 100-400L II. (My wife shoots Nikon, so it would make sense for our one really expensive telephoto to be a Nikkor.) A secondary reason to add the 5D IV is the ability to detect flickering light sources, and synchronize the shutter, for consistent exposures and WB. I already had this valuable capability in my 7D II and 5Ds R cameras, and now have it in my newest “general-purpose” DSLR. These two factors were sufficient for me to add a 5D IV. I had skipped the 5D Marks II and III, and while I appreciate my 5Ds R’s resolution, and still love it, the 5Ds R can be quite demanding as a general-purpose DSLR. I believe my 5Ds R and 5D Mark IV (and D5) complement each other quite well.

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.

Hi, I am a long time canon user and will continue to be. I have owned the mk3 the 6d the t3i and the t2i. I am heavily invested in canon and their glass so I was extremely excited and waited a very long time for this camera to come out. I purchased it from the local Best Buy in launch day, it is a spectacular camera for stills and 1080p video. The autofocus system is excellent, it's fast and even in live view it is nearly as fast as it is through the viewfinder. I also love the touch screen it makes navigating the menu and making adjustments so much quicker and you can pinch to zoom on your pictures. I had a major problem with the 4K though, the codec this camera stores it in is so huge that it was unusable on my early 2016 MacBook Pro. It would lag while watching it and even trying it edit it was nearly impossible. I'm unsure why canon went with such huge codec but I returned it because of this. It's not enough different for me to justify the expense with the 4K codec. I will just wait for the next 6d and hope the issue is resolved by then. If your looking for a great stills camera by all means get this bad boy, if you have a mk3 and want a 4K upgrade its not quite there yet unfortunately

After looking at all the online reviews I was not sure that the 5DMarkIV would be enough of an improvement over the Mark III or even over the 7D Mark II. The camera is much better that the reviews. The clarity with high ISO is remarkable. Much better than I had with the Mark III and way better than the 7D. Frames per second is very good for 30 megapixel. I have this paired with my 2.8 70-200 II and 2.8 24-70 II and the results are outstanding. Much better than I had with Mark III & 7D except for the reach on the 7D. You will absolutely love the touch screen. While the controls are very similar to previous body's I started trying the touch screen just out of habit from using smart phones. The touch screen is great. Overall great product. Could it have been better, sure. Is it worth the upgrade from Mark III, I certainly think so!

So I started off by buying a Canon 80D. Amazing camera but I just wasn't satisfied with a crop sensor. I just had this insane urge to move to a full frame. So I decided let's by a 5D mark iii. Loved the full frame and amazing build quality. Being that it's a 4 year old camera it was missing things from the 80D that I grown to love. That was wifi and the auto focus seemed to feel more accurate. I made the executive decision and shelled out another $1000 for the 5D mark IV. With this camera I had the best of both worlds. Amazing picture quality,camera build and felt confident that this will last me a long time and be able to keep up with all my risky adventures. If you can afford to get it and the upgraded features such as wifi and touch screen I say go for it. If those don't work for you I suggest the 5D mark iii as it's about $1000 less.

I knew going in that I was investing in a flagship Canon, and after the success of the 5D Mark iii, how could one go wrong here. Even still, I am floored by how clear and detailed my shots of my son came out in a room with no light execpt for the computer screen my son was playing keyboard on. The clarity and detail, and noise handling of this camera,,,I was blown away. No turning back from full-frame for me,,,and I look forward to growing into this camera over the next few years. You CAN NOT go wrong with this body. I paired it with the 50mm 1.8 ii (updated nifty fifty) and the results are beyond impressive. I’ll add shots of some pics I took in Union Square with this combo.
