Continuing on in their legacy of powerful workhorse cameras, Canon has released the 5D Mark IV DSLR which is an outstanding still photography option and an able 4K-capable video machine. This multimedia maven offers a newly developed 30.4MP full-frame CMOS sensor paired with the DIGIC 6+ image processor in order to balance fine detail and resolution with low-light performance and sensitivity. It is able to work within a native range of ISO 100-32000, which can then be expanded to an impressive ISO 50-102400, for sharp, low-noise images in a variety of conditions. Along with these improvements to image quality, users will enjoy a performance boost across the board with an enhanced AF system, built-in Wi-Fi, NFC, and GPS, and much more.

In order to deliver detailed images quickly and effectively the 5D Mark IV leverages the power of the DIGIC 6+ image processor, which can handle up to 7 frames per second during continuous shooting. It also uses a 150,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor to evaluate the scene and subjects for accurate exposures under a variety of different lighting conditions. An improved 61-point High Density Reticular AF furthers the camera's speed by tracking and locking onto subjects quickly and accurately for tack sharp photos. A new AF area select button is now available as well for near immediate access to this setting.

Video benefits from the addition of Dual Pixel CMOS AF and Movie Servo AF to smoothly rack focus during a shot. Shooters can even make use of the 3.2" 1.62m-dot touchscreen LCD to simply tap to adjust the focus point. Furthermore, now that the camera has DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) video recording at up to 30 fps, users can snag 8.8MP stills from the video for an even faster capture option. Tied into the Dual Pixel sensor architecture is a brand new feature for Canon: Dual Pixel RAW, which allows for fine tuning of certain image parameters, including bokeh shift and focus micro adjustment, after the image is taken.

The body has been further refined for comfort and ease of access, as well as durability and weather resistance. The Canon N3 remote port has been relocated to the front of the camera body and they have added both GPS and Wi-Fi with NFC to make this model a connected camera.

30.4MP Full-Frame CMOS Sensor and DIGIC 6+ Image Processor
In line with previous members of the main 5D series, the Mark IV attempts to balance high resolution with low-light performance with a newly developed 30.4MP full-frame CMOS sensor. This provides a beneficial increase in overall resolution without compromising on sensitivity. Additionally, thanks to the DIGIC 6+ image processor it is paired with, it offers impressive performance within a native range of ISO 100-32000, which can be expanded to ISO 50-102400.

Versatility is key with the 5D, as it needs to be able to tackle landscapes and weddings with equal ease. By using a 150,000-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor shooters will be able to more comfortably rely on the camera to capture difficult scenes. This sensor also has face detection as well as flicker detection which can ensure proper exposure in less-than-ideal lighting situations. Along with this, the camera offers an improved continuous shooting rate of 7 fps, making it a great option for events and action.
High Density Reticular AF and Dual Pixel CMOS AF Systems
Ensuring your subject is tack sharp, the 5D Mark IV incorporates an enhanced High Density Reticular AF system, which offers 61 phase-detect points, with all points sensitive to f/8 and 41 of which are cross-type. The center point can function down to -3 EV for working in extremely dim lighting. Compared to previous versions, this sensor has expanded vertical coverage of 24% on the peripherals and 8% in the center in order to better track and locate subjects in the frame.

In addition to advanced tracking and focusing while using the optical finder for stills, Live View and video can now use Dual Pixel CMOS AF on the actual imaging sensor. This offers about 80% coverage of phase-detection autofocus for faster and more accurate focusing in these modes. It is ideal for video as users will enjoy smoother rack focusing without the downsides normally encountered with contrast-based systems. Also, this works well with the touchscreen functions, allowing shooters to just tap to adjust focus.
DCI 4K Video Recording
Designed for both professional stills shooting and video recording, the 5D Mark IV supports DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution recording at up to 30 fps at 500 Mbps, along with Full HD 1080p shooting at 60 fps and HD 720p at 120 fps for slow motion playback. When recording in-camera, 4K video has 4:2:2 sampling and 8-bit color depth, while Full HD 1080p footage has 4:2:0 sampling. Uncompressed Full HD 1080p video can also be saved via HDMI to an optional external recorder with 4:2:2 color sampling. 4K video is recorded using a central 4096 x 2160 area of the sensor at a 1.74x crop in order to record video with an ideal 1:1 pixel sampling ratio, while Full HD recording makes use of the entire full frame.

Audio can be recorded using the on-board stereo microphone or an optional external mic can also be used via the 3.5mm mic jack. Real time audio monitoring is possible, too, via the 3.5mm headphone jack. The 4K video recording also avails the ability to take 8.8MP still frame grabs during playback on the rear touchscreen and save them as single images.
Dual Pixel RAW
First implemented here on the 5D Mark IV, Dual Pixel RAW allows photographers to record all the information the sensor's unique pixel architecture can deliver, providing a way for fine adjustments to be made after the image is taken. These adjustments include focus fine tuning that can help you ever-so-slightly adjust the focus point to bring out extra details, shift bokeh around for improved composition, and reduce the impact of ghosting on your photos. This requires the use of Canon's Digital Photo Professional 4.5 software.
Body Design
  • A large 3.2" 1.62m-dot Clear View II LCD monitor is available and features an anti-reflective design for bright, vivid image playback and live view shooting, and its touchscreen interface can be used for intuitive touch-to-focus control and adjusting settings in the menus.
  • A dedicated AF mode selection button located beneath the rear joystick offers another avenue for accessing settings, allowing for fast, intuitive access to commonly changed options.
  • Dual CompactFlash and SD memory card slots allow you to extend your file saving capabilities by permitting overflow recording or in-camera file type separation while shooting.
  • An Intelligent Viewfinder II uses a pentaprism design and offers a bright means for viewing. When using the viewfinder, AF points are highlighted in red for greater visibility in low-light conditions, and the finder can also be configured to display a range of other shooting aids, such as an electronic level, grid, flicker detection, white balance, metering mode, AF information, and other settings.
  • A Mirror Vibration Control System helps to minimize mechanical vibrations in order to better ensure sharpness during long exposures or fast continuous shooting bursts.
  • A robust magnesium alloy body design is both dust- and weather-sealed to permit working in harsh environments.
Other Camera Features
  • A built-in GPS module allows you to geotag imagery in-camera as well as auto time sync with the Universal Time Code via satellites. This module is compatible with American GPS, Russian GLONASS, and Japanese quasi-zenith Michibiki satellites for a wide coverage of support.
  • Digital Lens Optimizer technology compensates for a range of optical defects from various lenses, including chromatic aberration, distortion, peripheral brightness, and diffraction, and the camera can store lens data in order to avoid having to re-register lenses prior to each use. The camera can handle this process in real time, delivering JPEGs with the corrections already applied.
  • A built-in intervalometer permits the creation of time-lapse imagery and supports recording 1-99 consecutive frames in pre-selected intervals from 1 second to 99 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Users can also choose to set the camera to unlimited frames.
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity enable wireless sharing, control, and image transfer with a compatible smart device as well as the CS100 Connect Station.

I've had the opportunity for about 150 shots after delivery of my MKIV. This is replacing my MKII that is 13 years old with about 90k shots. The MKIV is impressive to say the least. It's lighter, faster, and quieter. The images captured are great.

It was time for an upgrade...this camera doesn't disappoint!

I recently upgraded from my archaic beastie to this 5D Mark IV DSLR Full-frame camera and I'm thrilled with it! There are features I have yet to master...there is a bit of a learning curve to its capabilities, but for this Portrait photographer, working both in-studio and on-location... in all kinds of environments and situations; its been great.

Still the one

I am no professional photographer. I am a hobbyist photographer.This camera was an upgrade from my Canon 6D mark II. At the time of this review, I have only shot around 100 pictures. The 5d Mark IV will allow you to take more control of your focusing points, focus areas as well as more custom functions. It has been an adjustment for me, but I knew this before I bought it. Reading the reviews and watching the editorials, it has not let me down. The weather is mid winter now with not many colors in nature. I don't have a certain subject matter that I shoot, but I have shot both outside and inside pictures. They have not disappointed me. I believe with more practice, this camera will be a natural as my 6D Mk II. I decided not to go with mirror less at this time and keeping with the mirror styled camera. Canon has been my choice from the beginning and I will be a die hard Canon user. I purchased this camera from B&H Photo and Video. I have purchased equipment from them before. They did not disappoint me this time either! They even had it stock! I ordered the camera on a Tuesday and received it the next day! This was fantastic! B&H has never let me down and I will continue to use them.

Great 4k Video

The 4k video looks so good. What makes this even better is the follow focus on the subject. During a sit down interview the camera stays focused on the subject perfectly.

How do we turn off the wi-fi and gps? Everything else is great and I would like it.
Asked by: Robert
Page 79 and page 227 of the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Camera's instruction manual (and pages 11-13 of the Canon 5D Mark IV Wi-Fi Function Basic Instruction Manual) states that under the Camera Settings section in the menu is the GPS and Wi-Fi/NFC settings, both which can be set to Disable to turn the settings off. Disable is selected by default; you must go into the menu and turn these options on to Enable if you wish to use them.

question

What is the Crop factor in the different video recording modes? Is the 4K cropped or is it Full Frame?If it is not cropped, then are they using Downsampling or Pixel Binning to achieve the 4K DCI output?
Asked by: Stephen
I think you should check out the new Sony a9, it may shoot 4K in FF... If not, I don't know which cameras will shoot $K in FF. Of course, when 5k is out they should all figure out how to give us a FF 4K. Remember N/C/S/L are not photographers, but engineers and designers. Look at the photos the Cos use on their sites.

question

can i use the 430 or 600 rt off camera without a trigger? can the camera link directly to the flashes and control them?
Asked by: Bryan C.
Phottix makes a nice trigger, Laso, that is RT compatible and is less costly than the Canon units. It also interfaces with Phottix receivers that can be applied to older Canon flash units that dont have RT capability. Ive used it in combination with a 600EX-RT, Yongnuo YN600EX-RT, 580EXII and 430EXII and it works flawlessly.

What is the best lens?
Asked by: Alex
My preferences are the 24 - 105L USM II and the 70 - 200L USM II lenses. The first lens is an excellent portrait lens where the 24 - 70 just does not do justice. Since I couldn't see paying the nearly $2,000 for the second lens I purchased a Sigma knockoff that was equivalent but cost $1,000 cheaper! If you can afford them purchase the Canon equipment where they have some advantages and better optics.

B&H usually has a substantial amount of used gear for sale, but you have too check their "Used Department". You can check by visiting their website and clicking on "Used" in the upper right corner of their homepage. PS: I purchased a new 5D Mark IV from B&H awhile back and have been very pleased with the camera.
