Pros: Robustness, reliability, autonomy, autofocus, sensor with valid performances, excellent general characteristics

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: The latest heir to a successful product line, the 5D Mk IV was for me the logical evolution of a journey that began years earlier. I have used it for years as a main camera and in all contexts it has always provided excellent performance. Reliable as it has never had the slightest technical problem and with a sensor with an adequate resolution, it has given me the opportunity to carry out several shootings with great satisfaction. Robust and well structured, it churns out good quality files that are well workable in post production, allowing me to work even by raising the ISO without worrying excessively about the noise generated. Size and weight all in all well manageable, having even rather large hands I immediately found the ideal feeling in use, the relative ease of use did the rest. Very good autofocus, both via optical viewfinder and using the rear screen, allows you to be fast enough in contexts where dynamism is required. Used immediately with battery grip, it is appreciated for its excellent autonomy, with limited battery consumption. For me this was the ideal reflex, now the transition to mirrorless has made me put it aside even if I still use it in certain situations, its characteristics also allow it to be used in almost all situations, with good lenses it is still very valid.

Pros: Autofocus: it is one of the best performing ever seen, it doesn't miss one, speed in LV (thanks to the DualPixel CMOS AF and despite being a 2016 reflex), MAF points, 61 cross-type points. Shooting speed at 7FPS more than acceptable for all uses and let's remember that this little beast is from 2016. To tell the truth, and it surprised me, it holds up like god the high ISO, and I disabled any correction in the machine to have it more performing and have less interventions on the ISP side, to make you understand up to 16,000 ISO the files are really usable and with a little AI denoise you really throw everything back. From serious noise problems after 16,0000, and up to 6400 / 8000 the files are really clean, at 10,000 they are really acceptable (in my opinion, then everyone can be pleasant or not or annoying or not), but it holds up well, for a 30MP, at high ISO. The quality / dynamic range of the RAW files is impressive, you can recreate everything and more, a FF sensor of about 31MP, in my opinion the top for photography of all kinds and allows you to do even considerable crops, excellent JPEGs. A viewfinder that covers 100% of the sensor. A flagship robustness, despite being mistreated (so to speak) it has survived everything, rain, bad weather and heat and cold and temperature changes. I mainly do portraiture and it is unquestionably the best reflex ever released by Canon, I also tried the Mark III and the reliability of the monitor and LV are not the same at all) and not to say, it has GPS in the camera, it is no longer seen in any canon mirrorless (I think) and it is a significant plus. Useful for geotagging each shot to organize it in LR if needed: I have used it little, but in my opinion professionally it can be useful especially for landscape architects and professionals where geotagging is required, for example analysis or repertoires (such as excavations, various documentaries etc.).

Cons: Some votes it fizzes in live view, so much so that the battery is removed and put back and resets to the last settings before activating the LV, never solved and they tell me that it is a software problem since I am not the first one to whom it happens, even from Canon assistance. Support only for SD UHS I and not II, slightly more detailed DP RAW files and maybe even the dynamic range is slightly better, I haven't done any in-depth analysis to understand more, but it seems that the highlights are more easily retrievable than the standard RAW (I don't know it's a con, but since they weigh twice as much I put it here). The AF points don't cover the entire sensor area (but in LV it resolves a bit).

Opinion: I bought it after the Canon 6D, the best camera I have owned so far, the Canon paste is really a plus for those who do portraiture and fashion like me, one of the best reflex cameras in the Canon house, it can compete with many MRs also regarding the dynamic range, sensor etc. As an owner of the R6 mark II (bought very recently) I can say that the colors of the latter are not pleasant with this 5D, in fact maybe I would have preferred the R5, we'll see. On the AF side it is hallucinating, both in LV and selective MF, with 61 points (unfortunately not on the whole sensor, but nothing really alarming, you focus on any subject, even in low light. I have also shot at high ISO, like 6400 and 8,000 ISO and really the files that hunt are scary, I use them with the flash to expand the dynamic range of the image precisely to see the lights better etc, and the detail is really excellent. One of the cameras that have given me the most satisfaction ever. I could tell you everything, but I will update the review as I go, this jewel in my hands has turned almost 3 years old and has given me record-breaking photographs.

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing to detect.

Opinion: The last big (non-flagship) SLR camera produced by Canon. Very workable files, when you buy such a product you are aware of what it can give you..... you have to know how to use it, used with 24-70 f4 L USM and with 135 f2 L USM it's a show, very precise autofocus, I don't miss a shot. The body has spectacular ergonomics, robust and made of top-of-the-line materials.

Pros: Solidity of construction, reliability, in general sharpness of raw files

Cons: It accentuates too much the shadows that are often difficult to recover, churns out anonymous raw files, not at all incisive and devoid of bite.

Opinion: I have owned the Canon 5D Mark IV for three years and I can say that I know it well enough to be able to make a judgment. I use it, as needed, to the following lenses: Canon 24-70 f/2.8; Canon 70-200 f/4; Tamron 15-30 f/2.8; Sigma 50 f/1.4. I observe that in landscape use it greatly accentuates the shadows, for example of the undergrowth, and at the same time increases the brightness of the light subjects. This requires quite a challenging recovery with Photoshop to make the chiaroscuro homogeneous. Sometimes, in these cases, the recovery takes place only partially and in particular the lightened shadows lose their original chromaticism, assuming unusual color. Once the shadows have been arranged in some way, I have to intervene with a contrast mask to revive the image, and give body to the colors by acting on saturation. So it gives the best of itself in the photography of subjects with homogeneous brightness or little contrast, such as inside museums and art galleries. In these cases the results obtained were in accordance with expectations because I got some really nice raw files, only with some slight adjustments. To sum up: in general positive judgment but requires considerable retouching. Rating: 7.

Pros: Autofocus, live view, video compartment, high ISO cleaning, workable file, autonomy, ergonomics with light and heavy optics, WiFi, GPS, optical viewfinder, tropicalization, responsiveness, burst, buffer, price hour, resolution

Cons: Initially it was the price, sensor not stabilized, display not adjustable, coverage AF points not on the whole frame.
