Awesome camera. I’ve wanted a full frame Canon digital for some time and was always a bit put off by the price. In my mind I couldn’t justify spending more on a camera than I would on a s/h motorbike as I’m just an average amateur snapper (just an average amateur everything really…….). I’ve had, and still got, Canon film cameras, including an EOS 3 which I got last year, so I have quite a few EF lenses. In fact it was the EOS 3 which decided me getting the 5d4, I wanted the digital version of it, it was that good even if the film photographs weren’t as good as I’d hoped.
So as I’m not getting any younger I threw caution to the wind and ordered a 5d4 from an Amazon marketplace trader. When it came I charged the battery and had a play. I put my EF 50mm f1.4 on it and pointed it at a lot of things and took pictures of them. One of the things I took a picture of was a bright star, in a black sky, with nothing else visible. The camera focused on it straight away so I pressed the shutter. Looking at the image I couldn’t believe how many stars were in it, yet you couldn’t see them with the naked eye but the camera did. Fantastic!
However, over the coming days it became apparent that my EF full frame lenses that I’ve had for a long time were not up to the standard that you need for a 5d4 to get the best results from it. I worked out that some of my EF lenses were over 30 years old…………….older than some countries. (It also explained why my EOS 3 photos were a bit ‘off’ when using the older lenses)
Apart from the 50mm 1.4 lens all my others were not really up to the accuracy I wanted so a new lens was ordered, a 24-105mm, which when attached and used with the 5d4 gave the clarity and definition I was hoping for from this camera.
So my advice would would be to get this camera, it’s a fantastic piece of kit, but make sure you’ve got decent lenses to go with it, preferably ‘L’ series, but if you can’t stretch to that then any recently introduced EF enthusiast lens as these will be designed and manufactured primarily for full frame digital Canons.

Truly amazing piece of kit, and particularly good for taking photos in low light. I used to (reluctantly) use flash for photographing classical concerts with my Canon 760. With the 5D MkIV I get superb results without any flash. Great autofocus, great exposure control, easy to use and beautifully made. Brilliant camera.

So far it’s performed well and I hope to live long enought to really learn all the bells and whistles; probably to about 150.

I’m writing this review as a hobbyist rather than professional photographer (that is, that sells photographs for a living). My first 5D was the Mark II, and I’ve used the Mark III for over 3 years myself, and instead of going through all the nitty-gritty of the Mark IV which you find elsewhere, I’m going to speak to mostly to the differences I’ve found in my day-to-day experiences and whether it’s worth the upgrade for the hobbyist.
First off, coming from the Mark III, the IV on the outside is very much similar, and you could mistake them at a glance. The differences include a slightly rougher cap on top of the new Mark IV body (where the Canon brand label sits) whereas the Mark III had the same material extended from the body over the cap. Perhaps it’s a new material housing to play more nicely with the GPS/Wi-Fi? There’s also new switch to toggle face detection in Live View mode in the back. The mode switch dial is also the newer Canon styles that bumps up a bit rather than the more flatter design of the Mark III. Otherwise, for those coming from the Mark III, you can feel right at home picking up the Mark IV for the first time.
In terms of shooting, I personally find the viewfinder to be brighter on the Mark IV than on the Mark III. This could just be my units and maybe a bit of dust on the Mark III, but using the same lenses, I find the Mark IV viewfinder a joy to use, much like the Mark III’s, and even a shade brighter! The new Dual Pixel AF works as advertised, and is much faster than the Mark III at face detection and toggling between different subjects – a big improvement here. The back review LCD is also a touchscreen now, which allows for your standard panning of shots as well as pinch-and-zoom. Although many shooters will still opt for the familiar mechanical buttons, as a hobbyist that shares the camera for others to shoot as well as reviews them on the spot with many moms with Android/iPhones, it’s so much easier now to have them use the touchscreen to flip from photo to photo, and to zoom in and out to see themselves and whether the shot is worth keeping 😉
In terms of photo quality, the highlight is the improved dynamic range of the new 30MP sensor. Although improved from the Mark II to the Mark III, I see a marked improvement for the Mark IV. Pushing exposure on underexposed shots with the same ISO produces less banding on the same shots with the Mark III. Although Canon is still behind Nikon in this area, I’m happy to see improvements in this area. Auto-focus at lower light levels at the center point is also improved, so that helps with getting those low light shots as well. As for overall crispness and quality of the shots (which of course, depends very much on the lens itself), I found photos were very similar on the Mark IV, which is not in anyway a let down given I thought the Mark III was overall excellent in terms of stills quality.
Also as a hobbyist with a simple Lightroom workflow, I still have Lightroom 5. With Adobe’s latest Camera Raw 9.7, Adobe now supports the Mark IV, but you’ll need the newest Lightroom 6 or Lightroom CC, which is another cost to add to your upgrade tally if you don’t already have those versions and plan to use Lightroom. Also, although Adobe will enable editing of the new Dual Pixel RAW format in Lightroom, it looks like, at least for now (as of late September 2016), it doesn’t support any making micro-adjustments in focus that can be done in DPP. I find that it’s useful when shooting with fast primes like the Canon 50 f/1.2L where small adjustments can help you hit focus.
Overall, another superb iteration of the Canon 5D line that hits many of the upgrade checkboxes, most particular in the area of dynamic range. I’ll update my review as I’ve gotten more behind-the-lens time with the Mark IV, and in particular, video shooting. So, is the upgrade worth it for Mark III owners? I would say for those of you shooting in more low light settings, the upgrades could make the additional cost worth it for you. However, for many others, given that photo quality improvement from the Mark III is not revolutionary, I would say it may not be at the current MSRP for Mark III owners; maybe wait for the next Black Friday sale to bring the price down a bit. Also, having used the Mark II as well myself, for those Mark II owners itching for the next big thing, with two generations of technology under its belt, the Mark IV is a worthy upgrade that you don’t have to worry looking back on!

This product was bought used but came looking very clean and well taken care of.

The camera arrived early and properly packed. So no problems there.
I found the menu (I already have a Canon 7D2) easy to use and the touchscreen fantastic. It has made changing settings so much easier.
Now I have t take photos at the same level of competence as the camera!

This body was approximately $900 less than the pricing from leading Canadian camera stores in August, 2022. There are only two differences between the two offerings:
1. The Amazon order is a Grey market international model without a Canadian warranty.
2. The Amazon item included the international version of the battery charger, but with a C7 (“figure 8”) power plug on a cable, that plugs into Canada and US wall sockets.
From my perspective, $900 for a warranty on a Canon camera is overpriced, because I have had a lot of Canon camera equipment that is rock solid well past the warranty period.
And, I like the idea of the charger using a cable with a C7 connector when I travel. I find many hotel rooms have very few power sockets and the wall-wart charger that Canon supplies in Canada and the US often doesn’t work well in hotels, particularly hotels outside North America. When I travel abroad, I just go to a local electronics store and get a C7 power cable for their market. The C7 cable connection is used in lots of other electronic devices, including laptops and tablets.
I already own a 5D Mark IV, but I like to have two bodies, fitted with different lenses when I travel. This camera worked just like my old Mark IV in accuracy and speed of focus. The shutter count was zero exposures when I received it.

After using my 5D Mark III for over 5 years with stellar results whether it be for weddings, families, infants, or travel photography, I decided that I was ready for the next upgrade. Since I am retired, and take several extended trips each year, my primary motivation to upgrade was the inclusion of GPS tracking. I would get home from a trip with thousands of images, then as I started to edit and tag them I would wonder, “were we in Honfleur, or Lyons, or Paris that day?” Of course, I could figure it out from the exif date tags, but being able to see exactly where I was standing is fantastic!
I gave the camera a real workout on a 3-week Panama Canal cruise in which we visited 8 countries and had many excursions. Just the trail of GPS tags on my Lightroom map as we crossed the Panama Canal showing our progress throughout the long day in which I took >600 images makes it all worthwhile for me. The GPS mode does eat up battery life quickly, and I might need 2 batteries for a days’ worth of shooting, whereas with it turned off, I could get by with just 1 battery. To me, that is a small price to pay; however when I’m not travelling, for instance for local portrait photography, I leave it turned off.
Other significant improvements include the high ISO performance. I frequently shoot in AV mode, and rarely give a thought to high the ISO is going on the Mark IV. Even at very high ISO’s I know I’m going to get a usable image.
The touch sensitive screen is a great enhancement. Using the quick menu I can change settings on the fly and not even worry about missing a shot. Be aware that while you have the touchscreen turned on, it is really easy to bump a control and end up with an unwanted setting. Somehow I accidentally changed the quality from RAW to Large JPG and ended up with days’ worth of images for which I had no RAW… I’m sure that won’t happen again!
There are many other enhancements, both small and large; but what I like about this upgrade is that it is already a very familiar camera to me. Virtually all of the controls are in the same position, and the camera body is nearly identical. In fact, if I have the 2 cameras sitting on a shelf in front of me, I actually have to pick it up and turn it around to read the front label to be sure I have the right one.

I bought this camera knowing that this might be the last few DSLR cameras that Canon will ever make. DSLR’s have some advantages over mirrorless. The sensor is protected by the mirror from dust and contact with whatever is outside when you remove or change lenses. With DSLR’s, you can see through the lens without turning on the power. True, DSLR’s are bulkier and heavier than the newest Canon mirrorless, but some pros prefer the beefier construction. I love the picture quality and the professional-level quality EF lenses that are available in every shop, warehouse, auction place, and even thriftstores. One of the reasons why I chose Canon was because their flange distance was shorter than Nikon’s, and Canon wasn’t stringing us along like what Nikon was doing before full-frame sensors became commonplace. I did not like cropped sensors. Canon made available a camera with a full-sized 24×36 sensor and if I remember correctly it was my EOS 5D Mark II. But getting back to the 5D Mark IV, it’s a professional-level camera. The only thing I do not like is the LCD monitor. I wish they had used the fold-out and flippable monitor that the 6D mark II has. The monitor on the 5D Mark IV is exposed. It does not angle up or down. It stays put. I can live with that, but i wish i did not have to. So what I did was put a glass screen protector on it. Done. This camera is a joy to work with. Ergonomics is perfect and I have small hands. Large handed people do not complain with this camera. You can shoot with just your right hand if the lens on it is light enough. So I think I’ve told you the reasons why I chose this camera. It might be the last few of its kind and then the Canon mirrorless cameras will take over.
