which camera lens do you have pn your mark 4
@@adokapo cool
In the canon 5d mark iv is it possible to set the metering timer of the exposure meter for more than 4 seconds as the default in shooting mode? In live view mode the limit is 30 minutes, but in viewfinder shooting mode after 4 seconds the meter stops measuring and the shooting data displayed in the viewfinder goes out ... Is there a solution?
Bro l really need you
When are u coming in Uganda 🇺🇬
It seems every youtuber is just getting the canon r5 just to have and talk about it. I'm happy your staying true to yourself
Haha! Thanks Thai. TBH I'm looking at getting my hands on that R5 just soI can play around with it!! 😬😬😀😂
@@KaiCreative XD LOL
The reason is that the r5 is so much better in every aspect than the eos mark3 and 4
2022, still a relevant camera
Great video! Your reasons are laid out clearly and concisely as to why you like the 5DMkIV. I recently upgraded from the EOS 5D Mark II to the EOS R, and then to the EOS R5. There's definitely a difference in the feel between single lens reflex cameras and mirrorless cameras. And I must say, I prefer the feel of the former. Maybe I've just been using DSLRs for so long now, but they just feel more natural in the hand. There is a more direct connection between that shutter closing and your pressing the button. Mirrorless cameras, even the best ones, feel more like computers masquerading as cameras. That physical/mechanical connection between the camera and the user is lacking that DSLRs tanks like the 5DMkIV have.
Thank you 🙏 and thanks for sharing your experiences - I’m sure we’ll all adjust to the mirrorless as time goes by ... lucky you to have the R5 though - I’m very eager to try out the 8K video and see how easy it is to edit - my PC just about keeps up with 4K (:
Been shooting with a 90D and getting great photos in RAW with L lens. Thinking of going full frame, better in low light and more coverage. Crop frame is great for extending that 300 mm L lens to about 480 mm. Nothing bad about a good crop-sensor.
For me my R5 feels so much more connected and direct to me, it is so much better in every single point than my 5dmk3, it is like 500% boost, makes so much more fun to work with it
So many options, almost too many. I'm currently trying to decide which route to go. Digital SLR or mirror less. I'm leaning toward the SLR at this point. Now which brand? Decisions decisions.
Great points, thanks for sharing. I have used Canon Rebel series in the past and just upgraded to the 5DMkIV, I'm on day 2 of using it so very early experiences but PHENOMENAL results. I've been watching various videos to help me learn more about this model and found this one. I too had some L glass and didn't want to start all over. I'm a novice with a good eye for wildlife and scenery shots. I have been taking stills of the birds here on the coast of SC, USA ... Herons, Egrets, Ospreys, etc. Using the 100 -400mm L IS II provides amazing detail and color.
I’ve used my 5DMark IV for Corporate work, weddings, short films, promo videos, green screen work and have taken it with me when I’ve gone out travelling, on holidays and I use it to film RUclips videos.
And I’ve only just got it serviced!
It literally just keeps on going - It is still a serious competitor among the multitude of modern camera systems and is so versatile! Absolutely love it! Keen to see what Canon do with their EOS R5 but for now I'm sticking with my 5DMarkIV.
I traded my well kept 5DmkIV with 140k shutter actuations in a months ago for a 1DXmk3. After oil and debris kept on getting the sensor I sent it back for a new one. To cut a long story short I've had 4 1DXmk3's all with the same problem with visible marks on images at f6.3. The last one went back today and I've got a refund. Guess what? I bought a new 5DmkIV. I couldn't be happier.
I do wedding shoots, fashion portraits, ads, magazine shoots, celebrity shoots.
Actually still its awesome camera. 5D mark iv
Great video! I'm keeping my 5D Mark II for backup/secondary, even as I transition to the 5D Mark IV as my primary. Your video sealed my decision to buy the Mark IV, by the way. Thanks heaps.
Totally agree, I believe it's essential to have a photographic camera in your bag nowadays. For how low cost they can be yet ad so much value to your kit, they are worth every cent to have. Anything 20 megapixel onwards will kick ass.
The 5D Mark 4 is a beast all day long. I can honestly say I believe in five more years from now it's still be a beast at the camera. Nothing's ever going to take away from how great it is. So whatever it doesn't record video in 8k! It's a Work Horse!
Yesss!! Like it’s predecessors i too believe it will still be highly sort after in 5 years - probably to a brand new generation of photographers and filmmakers. I don’t know what tech will exist then - but the Mark IV is so robust it will still be alive and kicking then 💪💪
Kind of like those Rebels. They keep on giving.
What even is the point of 8K recording lmao. Its just a flex at this point, technology hasnt caught up yet and pretty much everything isnt 4k already let alone 8k.
I am very happy with my 5D IV. Tempted for R5 but seen your honest analysis i shall continue with my old Canon 5D IV. Thanks for your useful posting.
Glad it was helpful! To be honest, I'm looking to get my hands on the R5 as soon as possible!! (:
Been using the 5D mkiv since late 2016 and i love it. All purpose.
Got mine used (looks like new) 6 months ago and I love it. Just buying L ef glass now since many are dumping it for rf glass.
Good time to pick up a bargain! (:
Great video, great points, and lovely images, thkz Kai
This beast is my beloved baby and I would never trade it in. I agree to every word you say!
October 2020 and I am still using this beast... And keep using the whole next year.
Nice, even though I've got an EOS-R still using the 5DMarkIV a lot too!
And here i am still using mark iii 😅
I love my 5d4 and I still use it today in 2021. I been using it for the past 4 years (bought it back in 2017 and paid nearly full msrp price for it) Though yes it is somewhat old now but it still takes amazing images as long as you have the right glass. I also pair mine with the EOS-R for weddings. Though it be super nice to have the latest tech like the R5 but the price difference is huge for it to justify the price upgrade for a barely noticeable difference to a clients eye. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade to the R5 when the price drops but for now until then I’ll continue to use my 5d4/eosR combo.
Really helpful video thank you. I’ve been using my 60D for many years, and have recently rented the mk4. So much more to learn, going from a crop to FF, but I’m up for the challenge. Cheers
LOVE THIS CAMERA.
Thank you for another excellent review! I’ve been shooting stills with 5D4 since 2016 and it is an incredible camera, as you say.
Great video Kai. This is the beauty of creative technology, it's all subjective. If something older still produces what you need, then it's all good. 😁
SVH Art UK yes indeed! Sometimes we are so caught up with chasing the latest and greatest tech that we don’t sit down and concentrate on what we can do with what we have 👌 we definitely need to collaborate again soon 👏🙏🙏
This is crazy! this camera is all in 1! Definitely will get this one someday!
Still got my 5IV and 5III. I’m happy with it so you’re right.
Great video! I have a 5d Mark 2 and a Leica Q mirrorless... while I really enjoy the mirrorless, I'm just still hooked on the SLR feel and satisfying "cahchunk" of the mirror. I also really still love looking directly through the glass when the camera is off something you can't get on mirrorless... I use my Mark 2 more than I do the Leica for these reasons.
Nice to hear I'm not alone. May upgrade to the mark 4.
Nice to hear Tachiro Akisu (: I’ve recently been using my Mark IV alongside the EOS-R, for about 4 months and still feel more comfortable with the Mark 4 - probably down to using DSLRs for years - but I’m slowly transitioning over - eager to have a plat with the R5 (:
Same
Thanks for this video KAI! Totally Necesary for me!
Thank you 🙏 😊
I have considered the R5 and R6 for documentaries and weddings. I have concluded that I am still getting the 5D4 and an RP (primarily for focus stacking).
I’m looking to try and get an R5 loan unit from Canon (:
The 5d model is a beast. I've had the mrk3 about 8 years and it's crazy how it has hold up. Sure I miss some features you talk about in the video. But it has never failed me. Now Iam scratching my head if I should upgrade to the Mrk4 or the R. :)
Yes Stefan! I’ve still got my Mark iii too - it’s about time I dusted it off for a 2020 update review ...
@@KaiCreative Plz do, would be nice to see your perspective on it. Cheers!
@@stefanmodigh7897 Yes, would be good for a MARK iii video update for 2020!
I simply love love this camera, it fulfills all my photography needs. A big plus is the choice of EF lenses. The new R-system might be the way to go but at this point I will not invest in a new lens system. I do understand with an adapter you can mount an L-lens to a R-body but this is not just the same. When the price of the 5D mark IV continue to drop I might consider buying a second body.
Absolutely, I totally agree.
As a serious hobbyist for over 40 years it serves all my needs. Best all round camera for landscape, portraits, wildlife. Even birds in flight (albeit at 7fps but the autofocus system is amazing). The touch screen, B mode and timer combo is tailor made for long exposure photography. Also excellent for videography, unless you want 4K which is impractical except for short runs. Of course there are way better DSLRs for video, but as part of an all round package the 5DIV shines.
Rugged, never had a problem shooting snowy owls in extreme weather in Canada at -25C in blizzard like conditions. Got wet by the spray in Niagara Falls and nothing happened! Same with extreme hot conditions and blowing sand in the Namib desert, no issues. Sits very stable in my hands. Gives me good shots in low light hand held without jacking up the ISO too much. Would not exchange it for a lighter camera.
Finally, beats my Red Raven in low light videography. I've shot with just one candle with very decent results (the Red Gemini is the one for low light apparently, but cant afford it). No complaints! Its going to last me a few more years for sure.
Thanks Dipanka, these comments were so good that I had to include some of them in my 5DMarkIV vs EOS-R review. It's great to hear these perspectives from experienced users! Keep sharing that knowledge! 👌😀
Kai Creative Thanks, glad my perspective is of some use 😊
Thank you! This video solidified my getting of a Mark IV
Pocket 4K is a better choice for video imo however I'm getting this camera as an upgrade from my 250d. The skin tones on canon are superb! Good to see you being loyal to your 5D. My uncle has £2000 glass on his Mark iii and the images are amazing. Lens first always
I'm new to photography and videography. I had hired a camera person to shoot my projects (shorts and feature film) in the past. However, I am in the market now and deciding between a Panasonic GH5s, Sony A7 III and this camera. I was leaning towards the GH5s but now after seeing this video, I am rethinking my options. That you, Kai. Kai is my son's middle name. Maybe that's a sign to go with the Mark IV.
Hey JJ 😊 the GH5s is a great camera 👌 the thing I like about the 5Dmark IV more than anything is it’s robustness - how it just keeps on going even in tough shooting conditions - which makes it great as a workhorse camera - and the Clog is not too bad - I know some people love the Sony colours over canon though - they are amazing 😉 especially for short films - not that the Canon colour is bad at all 👌
Thanks for the video information kai 🙂
Thank you Weida
Great, informative video. Thanks, Kai.
Still using my 5D4 for video works. I purchased all the things that needed to fill the gap in the video department. Atomos Ninja V for external recording and monitoring, shotgun mic and zoom H6 to address the audio. Overall I think it can still serve a couple of year in the video but tone more years in the stills side. I have to put on hold my pre-order of the Canon EoS R5 until such time they have fix for the overheating issue. Awesome vide By the way, thanks for sharing.
I love my 5DIV! Really, is such a great flippin’ camera for photo and video.
Likewise - It’s so versatile for so many creative projects! (:
I have tried many cameras - Sony, Leica, Nikon, Fuji and several Canon models including the new R series.
The RF lenses are, for the most part awesome (awesome prices too!) but the camera can't keep up with the 5D Mark IV.
Out of the many thousands of pictures I have taken the 5D Mark IV has produced more outstanding pictures than the rest.
Paired with classic EF L glass - in the "crunch" when speed, focus, light and clarity need to combine to create art the 5D comes through!
If you have time to set up, plan, use a tripod , get the best light , experiment with lenses and shots - good photographers can make great
pictures with many cameras. But in the crunch - in funky weather, or when you can't ever get "that" shot again.....give me the tank.
Yes, your mileage may vary, but make sure you've tried one before you doubt...….
Love it!
Especially “In a crunch” 🤩🤩🤩
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a tricky situation at an event or wedding and the Mark IV just rides though it 👏👏👏
I took a lot of great photo's last year with a T5i mounted on a Manfrotto 536. I'm getting to old to be lugging that thing around now and have been shooting handheld mostly this year.
Heck, I'm still using my 5D Mark II along with 7D Mark II. No problem at all for a casual photographer like me. But Mark IV, huh?
Great informative video Kai, Thank you! I have heard so many bad reviews about the Canon 5D Mark IV, the 4K crop, the 4K file size comparing it to Sony etc. However, I am glad I never listened to that crap. In my opinion the 5D Mark IV is one of the best cameras out there, not saying that other camera makers are not as good, I am just a Canon user. I am a photographer first, however, I have taken an interest in video and the 5D Mark IV is the best fit for me. I actually bought it to photograph and video Italy in detail. I have actually thought about buying a second 5D Mark IV and store it when I burn this one out, that is how much I like it. I think at some point I might want C-LOG, you may have changed my mind to look into it. I will make a video called 10 Reasons Why I'm still using the Canon 5D Mark IV in 2025 :).
Incredible experience 👏👏👏 I look forward to watching your review video in 5years time!! (:
Thank you for another excellent video! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub mhs vz! Much appreciated! (:
I am still using my Dinosaur 5D Mark iii paired with Sony a7R 3! Nice video, valid points!
You are not alone i have 5dm3 from 2005 till today and its great camera
@@WojciechFishtekSobanski agreed brother
Thank you , you are a true professional fantastic review .
Thank You for such kind comments (:
Wow I have learnt alot which I didn't know about this camera. It's great camera indeed.
Still using 5D Classic. Great for portraits.
i just inherited this camera from my brother who is moving on to the R5 and this is my first full frame camera and i just started photography and videography
Thank you for this video! I’m a very novice photographer. My experience thus far lies with drone photography, however, I would love to get into the hand-held photography game. This camera has been mentioned to me and I came here to find out why. Thank you for showing me.
Outstanding 🤩 so a few years ago I saw some travel drone footage from a guy on Facebook - it was incredible and I commented on it - he asked me the same question about getting a camera - I suggested he get the 5D Mark IV with clog and a 24-70mm 2.8. Which he got and started filming bits and pieces. A few years later he has his own production company called ‘Blake Ridder’ and millions of views on RUclips from his short-films. I can’t take any credit for the work he has done and success he has had, but glad that I mentioned it to him and connected with him back then ☝️☝️👌👌
@@KaiCreative It is always great to get reinforcing pieces of information about a product. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. I will certainly look into the 5DIV. Thanks again.
Nowadays I would recommend having a look at the R6 and RF line up for video - if you can afford it go R5 ☝️👌
Hello Kai, that's a very informative video right there. Thank you!!! I just got my Mark IV today, so there's no better time your video could have come in handy. I'll like to ask though, what camera you shot this video with????
Thank you for your kind words 🙏 this video was shot on the 5DMarkIV in 4K 👌
Great review and really appreciate your providing your 10 reasons for using the 5D M IV. I am planning on upgrading my Cannon 40D (yes very old camera :) ) to Mark 5D IV. Since it's been 4 years since Cannon released this camera, do you think I should wait a bit longer to upgrade as I am in no rush to upgrade. Thanks!
Awesome vid Kai! We love the 5d Mark IV! Never actually owned one but regularly use one at the photo school and studio we use. It's still such a work horse of a camera. What are your thoughts on the upcoming r5 btw??
Rudy! What’s up man? Hope You’re keeping well! Yep love my Mark 4! Definitely interested in the R5 - literally bought the R last week as I heard there is a delay to the R5 - but hoping to get my hands on one as soon as possible! What you thinking 🤔
So true Kai!.. "if it ain't broke don't fix it!............"
I initially chose the 5D MKIV for its great features for photography, not realizing its also a good video camera.
I am still using the Canon 5D Mark 4 today I only got it two years ago
Hey Kai, I’ve actually been a little interested in getting into videography. I was wondering what setting you use for your 5D mk4 (I also have this camera) because it seems like whenever I take a video and import it onto my laptop, the quality goes all the way down to a 480p.
I have 2 friends for life...5DM3 and 5DM4. There's no way I'm going to move away if I will be constricted to use an adopter for my glass!
Shame that they don't seem to be moving forward with the 5DMarkIV :( There is definitely a market for it - so it seems 🤔
Thanks for your video! Now you make me feel better about my machine! :)))) I am a photographer and a happy owner of a Canon 5D mark iv since 2017, but I just realized recently that I really like making videos, however I hardly ever used this feature on mine. I do not want to invest into another camera again since this is perfect and I have a set of super L lens as well so I got a Ronin S and now I am trying to hook all this up together into a video station, so far so good! ...One thing to mention though, you gotta workout hard in the gym for this beast, because good quality tools get heavy! :)))
One pixel goes out and there goes your video. Lucky to be able to sell my Mark II.
Great video thanks Kai! Helped me with some decision making ;-)
Me too, i guess 5D mark IV can use at least 3-4 years ahead. 30MP are more than enough for almost every needs. (For some reason i shoot for billboard too) I shoot for commercial production, it feels like tank, the battery, body, autofocus very quick and reliable. All around camera, i take a second hand for only 2000 bucks, shutter count only 1800. Very big deal, feels new and fresh!
Great video Kai with some fantastic reasons. Ive been thinking for a while about upgrading my camera and have been looking at the 5D mark 4 and the EOS R. I think what swings it for me is the ability to use the lenses for both cameras on the EOS R, and probably more importantly the weight reduction with the EOS R. With the release EOS R5 the price of the R hopefully drop.
Whit all that said that 5D iv is a fantastic camera🤔
Nice one Dave 👌 the EOS-R was gonna be the next camera I purchased but I’m holding out for the EOS-R5 especially if it’s gonna be coming out at around $3.5K :-/ will have to wait and see (:
Ok - so I know I said I would wait for the R5 but I heard it’s due out in July so I literally just bought an EOS-R 😱😀😊
@@KaiCreative Nicer one 🎉. Looking forward to seeing the videos on it 👍
You mentioned you use a lapel mic on the 5D Mark IV. Could you please tell me what kind? The sound on your videos is fantastic and sound makes or breaks a video for me. Ty
About FF vs Crop, in sunny conditions my 90D with an L lens shooting RAW, takes amazing pictures.
Sold it, been using the 5D IV. 😊
awesome video
Thanks Trap! Much appreciated!
Kai creative hello, Thanks for superb video. One serious concern of mine is, Does Tamron 15-30 G2 work properly with DIV?
Really like the detail in this one, I knew most of the points already. Still weighing up whether the C-LOG is worth it or just using the neutral picture setting?
C-LOG definitely increases the dynamic range you can see it when you use the scopes in PP. Would def recommend!
Massive DR increase; no comparison and well worth it. More important given the 8bit codec
Can you do a video tutorial about how to set the Canon 5D MK IV? (Aviation photography).
I have her for almost 4 years and I don't like her.
Noisy pictures, always bright and vignetting.
There's a huge gap between what you photograph to what you getting when you starting to edit the RAW files.
I'm using lens form Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary.
I love my 5D mark IV. What is that software you are using to adjust your video exposure. Couldn't read the name. Do you have a link for it.
I still have it, i use it more for photos as its imagery is really beautiful. For videography, it was a let down esp for a $3300 camera (bought 2016). 1080hd/60fps is fine. Slowmo and 4k are useleas. But hey, canon colors are always on point.
I’m finding the 4K only really useable in controlled conditions - like sitting down and vlogging - I attempted to film a short film in 4K and went back to 1080p because of focus issues ...
4k is such an energy haug. I just use 1080/ 30.
Canon 5dmkiv is a great camera. At the moment it's expensive. It's a great value camera for the buck. Hoping to be able to upgrade soon to the 5Dmkiv. Until then I'll be using my 6D.
One pixel goes out and there goes your video. Lucky to be able to sell my Mark II Buying used, by the, one can never tell how much video was shot on a Canon. Only stills.
What are your export settings? I have the same camera and my videos don’t look so crisp like yours when I export 😞
Yep... keeping my 5DiV ... Love it.
It’s such a beast 🥳🥳🥳
i just recently got a 5d4 2021 ill switch to mirrorless when they age more.
It is so cool video!!! I am also using Canon 5d mark4 haha
Hello! Thanks for your kind words 🙏 대단히 감사합니다 hope that you are creating some amazing stuff with it!
Chinese fan here😄 Great introduction👍👍👍
I love my 5D Mark IV!
Thank you so much
Thank you
5D4 + 16-35 2.8 III killer team
Kai, well don't, I have been using the Canon Mark 5 IV for over 3 years and is a workhorse. Like you I waiting for the R-5. With the current price of around $2000 for the Canon Mark, 5 IV I may just pick one up for a backup.
Just bought one. The R with the grip didn’t feel right after shooting Canon’s DSLR’s for years. Tiny camera, huge grip. The 5D4 is perfect and has more capabilities than I’ll ever need. It’s a tool. Give the latest and greatest to a hack and you’ll get crap. Give a budget camera to someone with knowledge and you’ll get great shots.
Can you dual record video on both card slots (redundantly) on the Canon 5DM3 or M4? Thank you!
I love the 5dmk4. I could never understand why everyone was getting hysterical about its crap 4K. I mainly do corporate films and I think it gives a great 1080 image. Customers are happy. The af tracking is great. Not that mad about clog on 8 bit but I guess it’s nice to have the option.
Same here - used it for corporate and wedding videos all at 1080p - been using the 4K more for RUclips videos and actually can work around it just fine (: and actually it’s not that bad either 😊
@@KaiCreative yep the 4k looks decent enough but honestly that format motion jpeg was a bit of a silly choice. A clear attempt to avoid messing with their cinema range.
5dm4 is also my first choice for corporate videos or interview style whose clients are specific with great skin tones. That is the money look! More creative or cinematic style i tend to use my a73. Different jobs, different tools
Now 2024.
Still i use 5D mark iv.
Because its awesome camera.
I have Canon mark ii, mark iii, mark iv.
My lens collections -
16-35 (2.8),
24-70 (2.8) ,
50mm (1.2),
70-200 (2.8) ,
85mm (1.2).
Truly a man of taste and collector or fine artefacts 📸
How to update C-log in without C-log Mark IV camera. Plz give me sugest.
I was starting to think about getting an R5, but only recently discovered R lenses are focus by wire which I absolutely hate.
@@ark8tct Yeah. I have a Mk4 and I think i'm going to hang onto it for awhile longer.
Well Done!
I currently have Canon 60d + Sigma 35mm 1.4 + Canon 50mm 1.8 and do a lot of car photography. To me, it feels a little bit outdated, so I'm looking to upgrade, plus I don't like that it's APSC. Been looking at mirrorless options like Canon RP or R, but I'm not sure, because they're quite expensive and have plenty of cons. Anyone can recommend a decent Canon camera? 90d? Like the one in the video? There's too much choice.
Hi friend, your comment got me thinking long and winded. I have 70d and just recently moved to R6 (discounted after R6m2 announcement). I am happier and having more fun with mirrorless. The reasons to go mirrorless are: EVF (You get what so see), High FPS, Object 3D tracking, silent shutter sound (no mirror flipping clacks), fully customized buttons, eye tracking. I can take more better composed shots with mirrorless, but doesn't mean I'm a better photographer, it just help me learn faster. So, depend on your budget and priority, check out R8, R7, R6 + basic lens adapter. The only reason I can think of to keeping my 70D DSLR is better battery life.
What's a good gimbal up buy for the 5d Mark iv? I own a old school 7d but I'm about to buy the mark 4 for music videos. My work is mainly on music videos. I just purchased the 24-70mm 2.8 ii lens and manfrotto 502 fluid head flat base tripod. So I'm preparing to make the change for the 5d Mark 4 and looking into gimbals. I see you are using them in your video here. Please I will appreciate your feedback? Great video by the way. I respect your input.. Great work too
Thanks Cali 🙏 so I’m using the RoninS gimbal with the 5DmarkIV and 24-105mm set up. I think that is the max weight that the RoninS can handle before it starts beeping. I’ve used that set up for corporate and weddings and it’s been fantastic - the Ronin battery lasts all day long but my arms and back start to burn by the end of the day 😮😂😅
@@KaiCreative thank you for the reply. I came across your channel while looking up research and reviews on which way to go next with a camera and gimbal. Even though the infamous mirror less Canon R6 and R5 just came out I'm still considering going with the 5d Mark iv.
Does the 5D mk4 have a remote input for a shutter release intervalometer ?
5d miv is a true photographers camera. Designed for stills this beast utilizes the digic6 + sensor the same as the canon 1dx mii so low light capability is good. As a matter of fact DXO Mark gave it a score of 91 that's the best rating given to canon sensor at that time. All auto ffocus points work at f8. So many telephoto and even pro grade supertelephoto lens work with the 1.4x miii and 2x miii tele extenders at all a.f. points and at 7 f.p.s. shooting speeds it handles moving subjects quite well. Ergonomics are great as with most Canon cameras.
If your looking for pro grade high quality video capability I think this camera is not the camera for you. Canon makes cinematic cameras which are more capable than this body. But if you're like me a photographer who doesn't shoot or need a video camera except rare occasions but needs a fantastic camera body camera for stills than this is a great choice.
Compare the 5D IV with the original 5D which cost about the same, but was more like a "digital brownie" when it came to features...
It's a great camera indeed. The focusing is amazing even in low light. My only gripe is its low burst rate and it's quite noisy for wildlife. I guess that's what mirrorless solves. So I may make that leap soon for that reason. Otherwise the 5d IV is a fantastic and huge step up in photo quality from my old 7d. As a stills person I now enjoy making short video with the external mic, 4k, tracking focus.
Thanks Andrew. Really great comments here. I actually mentioned your comments in my latest video on the 5DMarkIV vs EOS-R video. Thanks for sharing your experience! 😀👌
for me, the best one in the market.... stabil.... no problem tool..... a perfect combination for foto and video... with good lenses a perfect tool......
Right now I use a Canon 6D but soon I want to upgrade to this camera but its soo expensive lol.
wow that 1080p is very good
What programs do you use for photo editing & video editing? Can't seem to find the right one for PC or Mac.
Canon Digital Photo Professional, it's free too.
thanks bro,that''s my camera
I'm not sure whether to get this or the EOS-R? Which one would you recommend I get mainly for video?
Get a video camera.
1 reason why I'm still using the canon 70D in 2023... I'm broke. Joke aside, there are lots of reason to use older gears. But surely you want that new mirrorless. I'm telling you, mirrorless are great paired with EF lens with adapter. It's like the processing power of smartphone camera in a camera body with functional physical buttons. Eye detect, 3D tracking, IBIS, high FPS. Sell your 5DM4 and get R6M2. The features in mirrorless worth sacrificing megapixel number.
If you have dslr like 5dmkiii and mkiv will you need to change all lenses if we go in with the new r5 or r6 ?
You will need an adapter - similar to the EOS-R (:
so i'm better off with a full frame camera than a crop but i still want the canon 80d so i want the both of them okay
I have the zhiyun crane 2 and I use the mark iv. Since it's so heavy it is difficult to balance and has a shaking effect. I noticed you use the ronin 2. How is it with the mark iv and is there anything I can do to help with the balance on my gimbal?
Hi John 👋 thanks for the question. Not sure what the Zhiyun spec sheet says about max weight - you might want to double check? The Ronin-S spec sheet allows for the 5DMARKIV and kit lens to be mounted. And I’ve used that set up for a whole day of filming with no real issues. But it’s still heavy! It’s literally the max weight that the Ronin-s can handle and it does struggle a little if it hasn’t been balanced properly! If you get the balancing right you can do all the modes properly including the 360 inception spin. 👍
@@KaiCreative Gotcha. Missed the notification. Thanks for the response!
