Pros: Excellent technology of 2016, good locking and maintenance of the subject in fast moving shots, sensor at 30mpx, addition of more focus points on the four sides compared to the 5D Mark III, shooting speed at 7 frames per second, memory buffer speed considering 30mpx, good colors, high ISO holding, Three-dimensionality of the images, fantastic tropicalization, simple and intuitive menu, new battery grip, fits very well in the hand, beauty as a whole.

Cons: To date, it marks the shadows and highlights, for the rest I have not found. For me, that's more than fine.

Opinion: As an addition to the 5D Mark III, I decided to purchase its upgrade. The 5D Mark IV offers mind-boggling performance when used correctly. I immediately found a spatial feeling with this car. It is excellent in its performance in general and in the photographs churned out later, in the dynamic range thanks to its excellent sensor, easy and intuitive in the use of the menus, suitable for practicing any chosen photographic theme, and in any weather condition. Useful for work, for professional publications, even for passion. I never get tired of using it, I can do what I want with it, with the right lens for the need, I always bring home the work done in a simple and optimal way. As a somewhat sore note, it marks shadows and highlights, especially when the light during shooting is not correct (such as, for example, when shooting in conditions where the sun is at its peak at noon). If you miss a stop more or less in the exposure, she does not forgive. It gives its best in photographic studios with lights set to oc. Vote 9

Pros: It returns a feeling of solidity, comfortable to hold, battery life, resolution.

Cons: As a simple amateur photographer, nothing relevant. Maybe the fixed screen but you know before you buy it.

Opinion: Bought new four years ago and, also having an 80D, the jump was significant. The camera, as far as I have been able to detect as an amateur photographer, has never limited my imagination and the resolution is right, at least for me, since I do not make cuts. The file, depending on expectations and tastes, can be "soft" but, if desired, with a couple of color/contrast notches you can make it more incisive. Once the images have been downloaded, however, there is proof that this lacks nothing, in terms of sharpness / contrast / saturation, because these are always defined and chromatically appreciable. I don't own RF lenses and I often shoot at night (obviously on a tripod) nevertheless the AF is always punctual, even with lenses that are not really bright and not even of the latest generation. With the powered grip and maybe with a 100/400 the weight is there but I often use a trolley (I'm a "wandering" amateur photographer) and this eliminates the problem. The AF points are not very "extensive" but, I insist, the accounts are done on the screen and I never found disappointing images. The batteries last a long time but I'm using those designed for modern cars, in any case even with the old ones it is not an energy-intensive machine. The menu is clear and the settings (the few I calibrated) were simple. Having also an R5 and comparing the shots, often on (almost) equal terms, this reflex has never marked the pace; It is a machine that does not disappoint and I have never regretted having taken it with me instead of the other. The adjustable screen is missing but you know it before you buy it. I also bought an R5, to equip myself with a "modern" base because in perspective the future will be this but reflex cameras still have a lot to say because the limit, at least at my modest level, is always the snappy.

Pros: General solidity, tropicalization, mechanical reliability, software reliability.

Cons: Insufficient focus points, colors that are pulled out exclusively in post production, the most useless 30mpx in human history.

Opinion: I start from the assumption that I bought it used in April 2022, I came from a 1300D, the step forward was immense of course. After 4 years of use I switched to R6, I gave in to mirrorless. And I want to remind you that I hate videos, I just take pictures. So I'll exclude all video information. The 5D is a solid, tank-like platform, resistant materials and paint that is almost impossible to remove. Resistant to driving rain, as well as high or low temperatures and dust. Tropicalized to the state of the art. Keys not all programmable, but they are enough for me. Let's talk about the sensor... The most useless 30 megapixels in history. To make landscapes, 30mpx are better than 24mpx, but they are not enough, better than the 50mpx of the 5DsR. To take photos at high ISO the 30 mpx are better than 50mpx, but not enough, better the 20mpx of the 1DX MKIII / R6. The colors are literally dead, on this the Nikon D850 beats it very low. Much more ready photos in just a few clicks. It gnaws at me to agree with Nikon but even as a canonist I have to be objective. Viewfinder, few points, that point is always missing slightly higher or more to the right to focus well, instead you always have to use single focus and then move the view and shoot, you can't focus in tracking on the sides, in motosport they are blasphemies. Luckily the viewfinder itself is really nice to look at, excellent prism. You can't afford optics under the L-series. This body needs high-performance and extremely fast and quality lenses to express itself at its best. Batteries, honestly the originals cost a kidney, if you take the Patona or other different brands and types of each sub-brand they last 1 month and a half and you change them like the tires of a sports car, and of course I speak for all the rooms that use LP-E6NH batteries. At least the 5D takes days to discharge. And if you keep them in place, they don't drain by themselves. Am I disappointed? Yes, the 5D MKIV is neither meat nor fish. He does everything, but never at his best. "The last swan song of Canon DSLRs" is a phrase that fits better than the 1DX Mark III.

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.
