Canon EOS 5D Mark 4

Overview

Canon has produced another camera that’s likely to be drooled over by both professionals and experienced amateurs. While it’s a shame that the price is so high, you do get a mighty fine camera for your money. Beautiful images, intuitive controls and 4K video-shooting make an excellent 5D camera. If you can be patient and wait for the price to drop, we can see the 5D Mark IV being the big seller of 2017.

If you can justify the outlay, then the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV has to be one of the most well-rounded and complete DSLRs we've seen. Suited to a range of subjects, from landscapes to sports and wildlife, it'll perform superbly in any situation.

Yes, if you're looking for a strong, all-around full-frame camera. While it doesn't have every new bell and whistle, the combination of performance and image quality is hard to beat. Canon owners looking to upgrade, who can afford to drop...

The 5D Mark IV builds on the exquisite Mark III to deliver a camera that is bang up to date and leaves barely anything to be desired. The £3,599 launch price is higher than the Mark III (£2,799) or the 5Ds (£2,999) cost at launch, though. It's also...

The Canon 5D Mark IV is a worthy replacement for the Canon 5D Mark III. The step-up in pixel count makes perfect sense, raising it significantly above the 22Mp count of the 5D Mark III, but not competing with the 50Mp 5DS and 5DS R. In addition, the...

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is among the best full-frame DSLRs in the market right now, and is certainly among the best that Canon has ever made. It even makes for a good upgrade from the 5D Mark III, and for new full-frame DSLR buyers, the EOS 5D Mark IV...

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV builds on the proven design of its popular 4-year-old predecessor, the 5D Mark III, upgrading just about every aspect of its performance, which all adds up to a much better, yet still familiar, all-round camera for stills and...

Canon's 5D Mark IV improves upon its predecessor in many ways. While this is a step in the right direction, Canon still lacks the innovation or desire to compete with the likes of Panasonic and Sony especially when it comes to video-related features....
