The Canon 5D Mark IV is a solid follow-up to the much lauded 5D Mark III. Though the new camera is capable of 4K video recording, the 1.74x crop factor is a bit of a disappointment. Overall though, the 5D Mark IV produced a great-looking image.RECOMMENDED...
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 refle...
