Customer Ratings & Reviews

Having owned & used the Canon EOS 5D Mark III for the last three years, I wanted an upgrade. I can assure anyone in the same position it’s worth the upgrade. Auto Focus is vastly improved, AF points more responsive, AF speed is also a treat, dual layer is a memory monster only use this when it's necessary. WIFI function is nice but not a deal breaker, ISO performance is also improved, the touch screen is nice, but I could live without it. It’s hard to fault this new offering it’s just that good. Only negative I can think? Canon EOS 5D Mark III VS the new IV, new IV seems to be a power hog it’s a notable difference. Can’t get near as many shutter clicks as I did with Mark III so get an extra battery you will need it. Also get new upgraded memory cards that’s a must as well.

No one buys or even considers buying this camera without having a decent idea of what the 5D series from Canon stands for. I won't touch on image quality, features, ease of use, etc. since they are all to the high standards set by the 5D product line. But I will say that the 4th iteration of this camera lives up to all of the hype surrounding it. It is a revision and not a revolution over the previous generation, but having used the camera for a few months, I could not be happier with my investment. If you rely on camera equipment to make a living and need a camera that offers robust features and diverse shooting capabilities, this is the one for you.

I absolutely love this camera. It’s fast, precise, and just overall very easy to use. I like the menu and the convenient touch screen. What I would like to see in the future is a touch screen that swivels or can come out like the 6D. I’ve been using this with my 50mm 1.2 and I’m just in love with how the colors turn out. Skin tones look amazing. Also the reason why I buy cannon cameras is the ergonomics behind it. I do think for a heavy and bulky dslr it is probably the easiest and most comfortable to hold. Very beneficial for those days when you’re shooting a lot or shooting weddings.

The 5Div is the best dslr in its class (before going up to the 1D). The mark iv has integrated WiFi and gps, which sadly canon seems to be abandoning…having geotagged pics is the entire reason I got this body instead of going mirrorless.

The Mark IV is a great upgrade, both still and video from Canon's 6D. You will notice immediately the improved photo quality, especially in low light conditions. I am using this camera as a hybrid still and video documenter and if this is what you are planning to you is for, you will not be disappointed. Note: 4K recording is at a 1.74 crop. Also, if you want C-Log it is a $100 upgrade through Canon (but it is well worth it)

I upgraded to this camera from my Canon T7 and it's a huge jump in quality! I'm considering buying a second one for my backup camera since I do wedding photography. It is far more features than the T7 but it's easy to quickly pick it up. I have had some issues with the shutter not triggering when I press it but it fixes when I take the battery out and put it back in.

Coming from 6D, I had a really high expectation of this upgrade, and it didn't disappoint me. Almost every aspect of the camera is better than my 6D, from auto focus, image quality, build quality, AWB, auto meter, handling and low light performance just to name a few. I'm sure it will be my wedding work horse for the up coming years.

I decided to upgrade from my EOS 5D to the current model. I considered switching to one of the high end Nikons which have even more megapixels but elected to stay with the Canon in order to keep using the lenses I already have. A few days after the camera arrived I took it on hiking/photography trip to Great Basin in Nevada and Bryce Canyon in Utah. The camera worked flawlessly and took excellent pictures even in the fully automatic setting. Setting up the Canon software that came with the camera was straightforward, though I use Lightroom to process the pictures rather than the Canon software. I used the camera to shoot a number of pictures in Bryce at night with a full moon and the camera performed well. I used the Canon app to operate the camera in the dark which meant that I could dispense with a cable release/remote. The app is not entirely intuitive, but it works well and allows you to operate the camera remotely with ease. I have had the camera for only a month, but so far it has been excellent and without defect.

I upgraded from the Canon 60D, which was an incredible jump up. There is almost nothing I would change about this camera. It is much heavier than my 60D, and the 4K video is not as expected. My advice is if you are looking to upgrade from any model older than the Mark III, go for it. If you have a Mark III now, maybe wait. I wouldn't hing anything on the 4K video feature. Other than that I cannot say enough great things about this camera.

I have been waiting for this camera for awhile and it did not disappoint. As a wedding photographer it's really important to have a camera that can focus fast and great in low lighting. I usually get a lot of noise on low lighting but this has low noise even when I'm using ISO 12000. There's also wifi, gps and touch screen that I use daily. If you're a true professional photographer then buying this camera is a no brainer.

This is a camera that does it all. I am an amateur photo person that wanted to up his game. The ease of learning this camera with the touch screen is amazing. The images either in still or video surpass anything I have shot before. I use Canon lenses and the improvement using the same lenses is to say the least noticeable. This is a huge improvement over the Mark iii in my opinion.

I purchased this camera to upgrade to a full frame camera. I chose the mk iv because of the wifi and geo tag. My 70D has wifi and I actually use it a lot.. not a camera for everybody especially with the $$$ tag on it but if you're a professional photographer or an amateur photographer that is looking for the best this is the most affordable high end canon camera you can find other than the 5dsr

Bought this camera for my son who will graduate college soon and wants to pursue photography as a profession. He loves it! The touch screen is quick and easy to use and the picture quality is excellent. It’s heavier than he’s used to but he is adjusting to that pretty well. Highly recommend!

This camera is EVERYTHING I didn’t even know I needed. I upgraded from the 6D that I’ve been using for about 5 years and it is amazing! The quality of the images are even better. It is a bit heavier and I noticed my wrist hurting after using it all day a week or so after purchasing it. Still doesn’t deter me from using it though. Definitely worth it. I can now use the 6D as my family travel/2nd wedding camera. It’s a pretty penny but you wouldn’t be reading this review if you still weren’t considering it. You won’t be disappointed in this luxury body. Get one now and thank me later!

Great camera in every way possible (owned Mark III prior to this), so many improvements! Better resolution, better dinamic range, better high ISO performance, better auto white balance... Love the wifi feature! Love it that there is autofocus in video mode, started exploring video :-)

This camera is great for any professional or a hobbyist looking to upgrade to professional gear. The touch screen, built in WiFi, custom features, amazing image quality, and 4K video makes it an amazing option!

Outstanding value for the prosumer photographer. It wasn't long ago the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Camera (body only) was $3,500 without any additional lenses. On-sale over Christmas at $1,999 it's a steal. Paired with excellent Canon L-series "glass" (lenses) this camera is capable of award-winning professional photographs. Firmware is updateable, which may add features in the future. This camera can accept both Secure Digital (SD) and Compact Flash (CF) memory cards. It is also Wi-Fi and GPS enabled; it is possible to use with your smartphone as a remote device (helpful for portraits YOU want to be in without having to set up a 2-second delay and scurry into the frame). Easy enough for an amateur to use, but complex enough to take SEVERAL advanced courses on, this is a fantastic camera.

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.

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.

Love this camera, great quality and easy to use. Will definitely buy again in the future.
