Review Summary
2025-09-01T20:00:00
I bought this camera a little over a year ago and I love it. This camera is a tank. I love the sound of the shutter. The pictures are immaculate and I can crop with no pixels. It feels great in the hand, its weight helps keep the shot steady. The view finder is bright and a real life view. No lag. I hate electric viewfinders. They are terrible. I have a mirrorless camera and can't stand the delay when I pull it up to my eyes. There is an ocean of lenses available for this. I know mirror-less is the direction many manufacturers are going. I hope Canon continues to make DSLR alternative as time goes on. It's a great camera if you're on the fence. If you're not shooting video this will suit you. I shoot a on of film as well. I own A EOS 1n & EOS 3. All great cameras and it's great to have lenses that work across the board. I wish Canon would have made RF backwards compatible. That would've been fun.

During the Spring of this year, 2024, I bought a new EOS 5D Mark IV from Camera Mall in Ann Arbor, MI. I went on line and saw they had them in stock, so I paid for it in advance and then jumped in my car and drove over 55 miles to pick it up. The thought of owning this camera body was exciting because I'd read so many good things about it, especially since earlier this year in March, I met a professional that was shooting with a 1D. I told him my best camera is a Canon 6D and wondered if the 5D Mark IV was significantly better. He animately said yes! and that I would notice a major difference. After this statement and having read other reviews, I was game to take a chance, especially since I'm not not interested in switching to mirrorless, not even with an adapter. Besides, that's what a cell phone's set up is, right? Plus, I own a Canon SX40 HS bridge camera and a Ricoh-Pentax WG-4 pocket camera. Neither are DSLR but I'm good with those and would rather concentrate on the old mirror DSLR community of photography. Well, I must say I've had nothing but good things and experiences with this apparatus, even though I paid $500.00 more than the advertised current sale price. My evaluative opinion may not be the best; I consider myself a novice professional. For me, it's just an addictive hobby but I have been paid for my photography (unsolicited) and some of my pictures have been featured in a newspaper. I've paired my shooting with 5 different Canon L lenses and based off of other reviews I've read here on the Canon website, I may be adding the EF 24-70 2.8 L to my lens collection. So far, I'd say this body has performed well and I'm glad I bought it while the getting is not as good as the RF mirrorless mounts. My two thumbs say Yes! This camera is well worth the ownership!

Even this camera model is over a decade old but still one of great camera out there!!! Some people reported blurry pictures... well, if you do not know how to take good pictures with the advanced settings, just stick to your smartphones and DSLR/Mirrorless sophisticated equipments are not for you. Need intelligence and skill to use beyond Auto Mode.

Purchased and tried for 7 days. Tried every setting I could find and could not take crisp sharp photos. Used tripod and shutter release. Contacted Canon, no help. I suspect the low pass filter is the culprit. Returned camera. Disappointed with Canon. Have EOS 5D Mark III and am very pleased.

After three years of use, this camera continues to provide a lot of features that make it rank first among my Canon cameras. It has no substitute.

Upgraded from a 6D Mark II, which I loved, that I gave to my husband. I am obsessed with this camera. Paired with L series glass, this camera delivers stunning images. It feels fantastic in my hands and it's features are easy to operate.

Upgraded from the 6D Mark II. I gave that camera to my husband so we could enjoy this journey together. I am obsessed with this camera. It feels incredible in my hands. The features and controls are easily accessible. When paired with L series lenses, the images are stunning.

I only needed a new camera body because I already have upgraded lenses. I was amazed to find such a great deal on Adorama. The Canon 5D Mark IV camera body came with a flash drive/reader, a memory card, a strap, a cleaning kit and case, a camera bag that can hold a small lens, editing software/picture storage, a tripod and a few other items. The price was a few hundred dollars better than other vendors without the extras.

I have been using this for many years with satisfying results. It's a great camera and also great for videos. Even though the trend is mirrorless cameras, I like the full lens lineup in the RF series. I dropped this camera from 4ft height to the concrete floor without damaging anything, though the on-camera mic's cold shoe broke apart.

Bought in 2018, got dunked in the Pacific Ocean while on a Milky Way shoot, Aug 2020. Canon sent it back as unrepairable. Well, it turned on out of the box, and itt worked perfectly for close to 2 years....Now, it doesn't turn off after the selected time and will drain the batteries. It might have actually ruined two batteries. Now, I turn it off when not shooting, and only use my oldest, weakest batteries. It's a backup now to my R5.. any additional time I get out of it will just be a bonus!

I debated for quite a while whether to go mirrorless or stay with the Mark series. I went for the Mark IV and am so glad. I came from the Mark II and Mark III and let me tell you....this thing is smooth as silk! I am in love again. I tried my daughter's mirrorless and handed it back to her within a few shots. I like the solid feel and the balance it lends to my 70-200. I have shot with it for 4 sessions and I am very very happy with the camera and lens. Sharp and crisp shots!

Amazing tool
By mkphoto
As a wedding photographer for 6 years, having shot both Canon and Nikon extensively, this camera is a very welcome update to Canon's lineup. The high iso performance is very, very good, with ISO 3200 nearly indistinguishable from ISO 100 unless you're peeping at 100%. 6400 is exceptionally clean as well, retaining good color and dynamic range. Even 12,800 looks surprisingly good. With some noise reduction 32,000 is even usable. Aside from the extra features like the touch screen, video, ...

I'm puzzled by the poor reviewers - my guess is they misunderstood this camera and why would you even bother comparing to the 5Ds series? After renting the MKIV it was a matter of hours and it was purchased. • Good ISO performance • Fast focusing • very good image quality • gret shutter not loud at ALL! even in normal mode and feels solid • Excellent at weddings And all the new features of touch screen is very nice and easy to use. The MKIV out does the Sony is far from good for event i.e...

The EOS 5D Mark IV camera builds on the powerful legacy of the 5D series, offering amazing refinements in image quality, performance and versatility. Canon's commitment to imaging excellence is the soul of the EOS 5D Mark IV. Wedding and portrait photographers, nature and landscape shooters, as well as creative videographers will appreciate the brilliance and power that the EOS 5D Mark IV delivers.
Superb image quality is achieved with Canon's all-new 30.4 Megapixel full-frame sensor, and highly-detailed 4K video is captured with ease.
Focus accuracy has been improved with a refined 61-point AF system and Canon's revolutionary Dual Pixel CMOS AF for quick, smooth AF for both video and Live View shooting. Fast operation is enhanced with Canon's DIGIC 6+ Image Processor, which provides continuous shooting at up to 7.0 fps. Built-in Wi-Fi®, GPS and an easy-to-navigate touch-panel LCD allow the camera to become an extension of you. When quality matters, the EOS 5D Mark IV helps deliver results to inspire even the most discerning imagemaker.
The EOS 5D Mark IV camera boasts a full-frame, high-speed CMOS sensor that’s ideal for a broad range of applications with its remarkable high-resolution abilities. Measuring approximately 36.0mm x 24.0mm, the same size and ratio as a 35mm film frame, it records 30.4 effective Megapixels at normal ISOs of up to 32000. It also captures incredible still and 4K video clips suitable for significant post-processing, retouching and cropping.
Featuring an ISO range of 100–32000 (expandable to 50–102400), the EOS 5D Mark IV camera is incredibly well-suited for low-light photography. Its sensor has an improved S/N ratio plus an improved noise-processing algorithm to help deliver high-level light sensitivity along with its high resolution, with virtually no compromise in image quality.
Featuring two photodiodes per pixel and each pixel capable of phase-difference detection autofocus, the CMOS sensor can deliver fast and accurate AF throughout approximately 80% of the image plane. Able to detect shifts in movement at the pixel level, Dual Pixel CMOS AF enables continuous automatic AF and AF tracking that enhances overall camera operation for sharp still images and smooth, accurate focus transitions in movies. Working with the EOS 5D Mark IV’s 3.2" touch panel LCD screen, Dual Pixel CMOS AF lets photographers select focus points throughout the frame with the touch of a finger, and confirm focus by zooming in on the image or enlarging stills grabbed from video recordings.
The EOS 5D Mark IV camera features a 1.62 million dot, low-reflection 3.2-inch Clear View LCD II monitor for bright, sharp display in a wide variety of shooting situations. The LCD’s touch panel surface facilitates fast, intuitive operation, including AF frame switching, menu and setting changes plus image magnification during Live View shooting and movie shooting.
Not only does theEOS 5D Mark IV’s LCD provide a high-precision image for composition and playback, but it also remains visible even when the photographer is wearing polarized sunglasses!
The EOS 5D Mark IV camera is designed to keep up with the action. Its remarkable shutter, advanced AF and exposure and image processing systems help ensure virtually instantaneous response and performance at up to 7.0 fps**, even at full resolution.
** Continuous shooting speed may vary depending on the shutter speed, the aperture, the lens being used, the battery charge and various camera settings.
The powerful DIGIC 6+ Image Processor increases the EOS 5D Mark IV camera’s in-camera capabilities, enabling fast operation across the board and helping to ensure that high-quality still image and 4K video recording is achieved no matter the shooting environment. It has a noise-processing algorithm that helps reduce noise at high ISO settings.
To complement its stellar CMOS sensor and powerful processing abilities, the EOS 5D Mark IV camera incorporates a 61-point High Density Reticular AF II system. It features up to 41 cross-type points and an extensive AF area that extends well into the top and bottom of the peripheral frame.
Low-light performance is phenomenal – the AF system’s low-intensity limit is EV -3 at the center AF point and all 61 AF points are compatible down to f/8 for excellent low-light performance, even with lens extenders attached. To help ensure that AF points and other shooting information are visible at a glance, the EOS 5D Mark IV also features Canon’s Intelligent Viewfinder II for a bright, customizable view.
The iSA Intelligent Scene Analysis system uses its own RGB+IR light sensor with an approximately 150,000-pixel resolution to provide the camera with immense image analysis in an instant, making necessary corrections along the way. The sensor enables Canon’s anti-flicker function, which detects the frequency and phase of a light source’s flicker (such as a fluorescent light) and captures images near the point of peak brightness when the subject is most likely to be well-illuminated.
The EOS 5D Mark IV also incorporates Canon’s Intelligent Tracking and Recognition system (iTR AF) that detects and tracks subjects, automatically switching the AF point to optimize tracking.
The EOS 5D Mark IV’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system enables capture of Dual Pixel Raw (DPRAW) files***. Images shot as DPRAWs have additional adjustment possibilities when processed with Canon’s Digital Photo Professional image processing software, which enables pixel-level adjustment and refinement for still photographs and includes Image Micro-adjustment to help maximize sharpness in detail areas, Bokeh Shift for more pleasing soft focus areas and Ghosting Reduction to help reduce aberrations and flare.
*** When lens diaphragm setting is fully open, adjustment volume and compensation effect are emphasized.
For a useful and quick workflow in a variety of locations, the EOS 5D Mark IV camera’s built-in Wi-Fi®^ feature can help streamline camera operations across the board. Using the free Canon Camera Connect app^ on a compatible iOS® or Android™ device, the EOS 5D Mark IV can easily be set up to shoot remotely from a distance, even in Live View mode, with complete control of settings such as aperture, shutter speed, ISO, focus and shutter release. Image review and transfer are similarly fast and easy without ever having to take the camera out of its bag.
Built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) technology helps provide the EOS 5D Mark IV camera with a virtually seamless connection to compatible Android™ devices. Simply tap to connect and transfer images and videos. It’s also compatible with the Canon Connect Station CS100 device, which makes it simple for photographers and moviemakers to view and organize all their photos and videos from one connected device.
The EOS 5D Mark IV camera’s built-in GPS helps photographers and filmmakers both tag their images with critical location data, and also adjust the time and timestamp on the camera automatically. Featuring both built-in GPS and Wi-Fi® technology, the EOS 5D Mark IV can use GPS and WFT (Wireless File Transfer) together, making it easy to upload numerous images and movies both quickly and from increasingly distant locales. Compatible with American GPS satellites, Russian GLONASS satellites and Japanese quasi-zenith satellites Michibiki, the EOS 5D Mark IV’s GPS information stays reliably accurate in many locations.
