Great camera overall, I have a 5DM3 and the controls are quite similar so no learning curve to speak of. I really appreciate being able to zoom in on the touch screen and especially love the wifi feature which is very useful where I'm official photographer at dog shows, and also for portrait...

The canon 5d Mark IV is a heavy duty camera for heavy duty photographers! Living on the island of Kauai I am always challenged with rain, wind, sand and sun, I could not capture life on the islands with out my Canon 5D Mark IV. Nothing I have ever owned has stood up to the elements like this camera.

Canon's EOS 5D Mark IV is the long-awaited fourth model in the enormously popular series of full-frame DSLRs. Coming over four years after the previous EOS 5D Mark III, the Mark IV boosts the resolution to 30.4 Megapixels with a new full-frame sensor that supports Dual Pixel CMOS AF for confident...

High quality stills packed with detail and good dynamic range, 4k and 1080 video with confident subject-tracking and refocusing, 61-point AF system inherited from 1Dx Mark II; Great Live View focusing too, Large touch-screen allows you to tap to refocus and navigate menus, Built-in Wifi and GPS...

Dual Pixel RAW files offer very mild adjustments; 4k video employs a very tight crop similar to APS-C in size; 4k video employs a very high bit rate; No log profile; no 4k over HDMI; no focus-peaking or zebras; Screen doesn't tilt – less convenient for live view and movies; SD slot is only UHS-I...

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV ($3,499, body only) is the company's latest mainstream pro SLR . For the most part it looks and handles like its predecessor, the 5D Mark III , a plus for veteran photographers who know their camera by heart.

30MP full-frame image sensor; Fast 61-point autofocus system; 7fps continuous shooting; Unlimited JPG shooting buffer; Pro-grade build; Dual Pixel AF Live View focus system; 3.2-inch touch screen; Integrated GPS and Wi-Fi; CF and SD card slots

Cropped 4K video; Clean HDMI output is 1080p only; Dual Pixel Raw function slows camera and offers limited benefits; 4K video files are quite large; Omits in-body flash

The Canon 5D Mark IV offers a ton of new features and performance upgrades, but keeps things modest and familiar with its similar yet refined design. The fourth iteration of Canon's popular 5D series gains a new, higher-res sensor, a faster processor, a full touchscreen interface, built-in wireless...

Superb image quality from RAW files; Improved dynamic range; Excellent high ISO performance; Fast 7fps burst rate with unlimited JPEG buffer; High-quality cinema 4K video; Built-in Wi-Fi; Dual Pixel CMOS AF is very good

JPEG files look soft at default settings; 1/200s flash sync; 4K video codec is cumbersome; 29:59 continuous video recording limit

For an all-around camera, the 5D Mark IV can handle just about anything you throw at it.

Very high-quality 30.4MP stills; Dual Pixel AF is a game changer for video; Superior high ISO capability; 7 fps continuous shooting; Improved 61-point AF system

Severely cropped 4K video; HDMI-out limited to 1080p; No tilt screen

My expectations were that the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV was going to be at least as wildly successful as its predecessors were, but that expectation was not very hard to realize. The Canon EOS 5-series cameras have become synonymous with value and versatility.

With the EOS 5D Mark IV, Canon has further refined its semi-professional full frame all-rounder. With a solid build and improved weather sealing, faster burst speed, increased resolution, increased dynamic range, updated autofocus system and Dual Pixel live view functionality, the Mark IV will be as...

Canon's 5D Mark IV is a top performer - but you'll be paying a premium for it. Top-notch images are promised from this camera, which will be all too familiar to existing users of the 5D Mark III or 5D Mark II .

Full-frame sensor; Touchscreen is useful; Solid 4K video recording; Built-in Wi-Fi

Heavy; Expensive; Frame rate isn't particularly high

Canon has stepped things up a gear in recent years by leading with higher-resolution DSLR cameras. It had long been said that the 24-megapixel mark would be the company's limit until lenses could make the best of the capture resolution - a concept that was not just slightly but entirely demolished...

Autofocus system rarely bettered in viewfinder or screen-based use; image quality is solid; clever Dual Pixel RAW re-focus; touchscreen works well

No vari-angle LCD screen; no light-up buttons; the 30MP sensor might be too high-res for some; 4K video has limited file types; expensive
