- Emmy - award winning filmmaker, Brian Kissig reviews the Canon 5D Mark IV after two years of ownership. This camera is one of the last best DSLRs for photography in 2024 and still holds up against a lot of today's modern cameras. For video it is not a good choice compared to many newer cameras.

I got both a 5D Mark iv and a 70-200mm ii for 2k and wow, what a pair! I learned the basics on a mark ii for the first 2 years, bounced around with a few canon mirrorless bodies but decided to come back to the 5D series. It feels right in the hands and gets the job done. The fact you can find EF glass for such good deals now really keeps me feeling good about staying with the mark iv. Awesome video!
The 5D4 is all the camera any average photographer will ever need. Anything else is just a gimmick. I shoot professionally and as a hobbyist. My clients are EXTREMELY happy with my work. Mirrorless, sensor stacking, blah blah blah, is nothing but obsoletism. You can justify the leap from film to digital for obvious reasons. However, not so with mirrorless. You’d really have to pixel peep and, tech that really doesn’t serve a practical purpose. Some people simply just love chasing tech but, really have way too much camera to even handle.
I bought a used 5D4 a few weeks ago as an upgrade to my 6D and love it! I just shoot for a hobby and mostly landscapes so don't need the newer mirrorless autofocus stuff. I actually still love SLRs and have an old EOS 3 so I can share lenses between them!
I just switched from a Sony a7iii to a used mark 4. I used to have a 6d years ago and really missed the Canon family. The 5d mark 4 is still a great professional camera!
Why did you switch and are you happy with canon.
i am aldo on the verge to switching from a7riii to canon
How is video quality?
I’ve shot professionally with a Canon 5d classic. I use an 85mm and a 50mm lens. People like my headshots. They never ask about the camera. They’re happy with the results. So as long as people get good with what they have, done.
Great video...I have a pair of 5d4s.. I shoot wildlife with a very old 600mm f4L and get incredible results.. They are work horses....
I am a canon user for commercial work for 10 years.
550d, 80d, 6d and 5d mark iv for 5 years. Still can't move on from the OVF, very useful for professional work. We can compare the 'true colour' from OVF to display screen
I’m currently using a 5d4 and all canon EF-L lenses
I think it is the pinnacle of the SLR from canon
I had a 5D Mark II and a year ago I sold the II for a IV. I am still learning this camera but I am always getting better. I changed to this from a mirrorless Cannon, that I still have.
This is what I currently have and I must need to mess with the settings more to get what I want. I've found that the Manual settings are more tricky to navigate compared to my previous camera for some reason. Probably user error. My biggest hang up is the lack of a flip screen. As someone who takes self portraits the majority of the time, a flip screen would be amazing. The canon connect app is a thing, but it's especially spotty for me and is usually slow or refuses to connect at all (why the flip screen would be helpful).
Today I photographed landscapes in the winter forest with a Canon 5d mark iv - I froze faster than he did :) More precisely, it is not frozen at all, but now it is in the bag - it is slowly heating up :)
Hi Brian, in full agreement with your points and considerations about the Canon 5D Mark IV, which I had the pleasure of picking up and shooting for the first time only yesterday, funnily for a wedding! It was the groom's 5D at his wedding.
Being of a budget and late adopter mindset, I have been using an entry-level Nikon D3100 for a long time. Using the 5D was like driving a Dodge Challenger Hellcat SRT compared to a standard car. The robust and weighty grip and body had a reassuring feel to it.
I had no clue as to how the focus system worked when looking through the viewfinder. I remember the days when manual focussing on a Canon T90 used a central circle split in in two, one half blurred, and you had to dial-up the focus ring to unblur the half circle, indicating an in-focus shot.
I liked handling and shooting with the 5D. It's highlighted to me that camera technology has advanced and I think I need to think about upgrading from my D3100, especially as camera phones are increasing their quality. But you're right, camera phones will never be as fun to use and hear as a DSLR shutter.
Great video. I just did one on the 5DMK II 😅
Yooooooo Brian is back WOOOOOOOHOOOO
i still use 5d mark iii for my workflow. as soon as possible i will buy this 5d mark iv for main camera and make 5d mark iii as second camera😍
I simply love my 5D iv. The images just have a wonderful look and feel. My lenses that I have for my 7D ii all work great.
Love this video!! I'm looking to buy this camera soon but just stuck on the silent mode shooting? Worried about the mechanical shutter being super loud🤔🤔 Anyone who's used this camera at silent events, lemmie know how it sounds!💕
I have R6II and R5. I also use A7RV for handheld video, but I still love 5D Mark IV. I’m planning to get one. It is the best DSLR canon has ever made.
You like the 5dm4 better than the other two you mentioned? If so why?
@@mikem6796 It’s better DSLR canon has ever made. R5 and r62 are power house.
I use a 5D Mkii, and I'm waiting for the price of used 5D MkIV's to come down to buy one. I will shoot EF bodies as long as I can. My pro photographer friend still uses his 5D4 as his only camera.
I know a ton of people who use it exclusively!
For those buying used, pay attention to shutter count. These are beasts but you don’t want one with 400k shutter activations unless it’s super cheap. I got a used one for 1200 with 50k on the shutter.
Good call
Hi Brian, thank you for the video. would love to get YOUR OPINION:
I am a beginner photographer, I have done a couple of jobs and had a blast and things came out really well
I am looking for a good camera that would suit me professionally and still budget friendly
Someone is selling this camera along with a Canon Lens 24-105mm for 2,010 usd
what do you think? worth it?
is there a camera that's good for less? also, can I see live the effects of changing shutter speed etc on picture lighting or can I only see after taking pic (have worked with both types and much rather seeing live)
any advice would be really appreciated!
I have the 5DS R. I'm saving for a R5. I wish Canon would make a higher pixel camera.
How many cards have you had fail? (but you've been saved by the dual card slot)
Luckily I haven't had it happen with this camera,
@@BrianKissig great, thanks so much - love the video!
Agreed
I shoot video and no problems but then again I also use Canon 7D Mark II for video as well. 😅
About a year ago, I started to use a Fujifilm X-T4 on the side, and it changed me forever. Every time I get back to my 5D Mark IV, I have to remind myself that my exposure or my focus can be off when I'm shooting through the viewfinder. In live view, the fixed screen is a nuisance, not to mention the size and weight of the system, since I have to carry that in front of my face to see the screen. These factors make it almost unusable for handheld video. I used to love this camera, and it served me very well for photography, but something has definitely changed about my feelings in 2024...
I'm currently using 90D and I'm at the point where I want to go full frame. All my lenses from my first DSLR 400D bought all those years ago were EF lenses, so I was always prepared to make that jump. And it's so hard now. I completely ignore video aspects, I take photos only. 90D is a great camera and the only thing I would like to change is FF sensor. And there is no camera for me. Semi pro mirrorless like R6 is downgrade in pixel count. I know those doesn't matter that much, but when I'm cropping in Lightroom and I'm setting limit on myself to never go below 30x45cm 300 dpi print then I'll want all the pixels I can get. R5 seems to be only option, where every aspect of camera is an upgrade, but price is a bit tough to swallow. Then there is 5D. I love DSLR and I will gladly stay with them for few more years. I don't feel the need to go mirrorless, especially since it seems that video features are in focus now where I don't care about video at all. I'm ok with slightly less pixel count, difference is negligible. No flip screen is kinda annoying. And while budget for new would be OK for me if I would be buying top of the line for that price (R5 I would take immediately), paying that for old technology feels wrong. I'm so sad, that Mark V never showed up. It would probably be the best fit for me. I will probably get 5D Mark IV in the end but was already fighting with myself for last week changing my decision back and forth many times.
Even a 200-250dpi print looks amazing, the image id more important than the mp
@@williamvesterberg1107 And that is why 30x45@300dpi is hard limit for me. This size is for crisp detail where you can put your nose to it and look at smallest things. And at that distance 200 vs 300 dpi is easy recognizable. If i know picture will be looked from distance, then I can print 40x60. And I don't want to make exceptions so I know that all my pictures are print ready this way.
I thought I was done with DSLR's. However, I was invited to go to Poland next January with the press corp to cover the 80th anniversary of the Auschwitz Liberation. Since it's ridiculously cold there, I'm actually taking the dslr's simply due to battery life and since the ceremony is in the evening, I think having an ff (I normally shoot fuji crop) will make things just better. So no, there is always going to be a place for dslr's
Iam still using 5d mark 4
Nice! I will be for at least a few more years
Canon will never make a better DSLR It served many people well
Just bought a brand new 5D Mark iV , in 2024 silly ...😁
Mirrorless camera battery life sucks allmost ALL of Them. I have Two Mirrorless cameras and I can tell the Truth. It's about Marketing compare to DSLR and you pay for Ridiculous price for Canon R5 (build quality sucks look so plastic) or Nikon Z8 or Sony a7RV. Canon 5DMKIV is still an Awesome Camera and it does exactly what you tell it to do with reliability and battery last very longer. No Don't Need to Switch and spend thousands more dollars in Mirrorless or iPhone 15 Pro trash tiny sensor...
The best one is the one you have and can’t afford another one
The biggest drawback off these old canon cameras are the ancient lenses.
I`ve had quite a few and there was hardly a decent one among them, even the L lenses were not particulairy good.
The much seen 50 1.4 was the worst lens i`ve ever had.
You’re mad. The new RF glass and design is TRASH!
@@820e4cf7jh You`re right RF glass is even worse.
Canon is blacklisted by me for a long time.
Never again.
I leica Leica or Zeiss. On Sony.
Some of these photos you're showing here are the worst I've ever seen from Canon 5D Mark IV. By far.
