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 three-and-a-half...
Abstract: The Canon 5D Mark IV promises to be everything you could hope for in an SLR. As per previous 5D models, it has a full-frame sensor, a big 0.71x viewfinder, a weather-sealed magnesium alloy body and plentiful controls and sockets.The new features read like...
Great autofocus in video, 4K video capture, Peerless image quality
No articulated screen, Motion JPEG video capture result in enormous file sizes
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 vastly...
For 5-series users it's been a gruelling four-year wait between the MkIII and MkIV, sparking a huge degree of speculation about the potential name, features and resolution. Most had their fingers crossed for a higher megapixel count, more frames-per-secon...
The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV does bring some enticing new features to the fore, but arguably its the new 30.4-million-pixel sensor that steals the limelight. The sensors performance at high ISO, combined with its radically improved dynamic range, makes it m...

Autofocus system rarely bettered in viewfinder or screen-based use, image quality is solid, clever Dual Pixel RAW re-focus, touchscreen works well
No vari-angle LCD screen, no light-up buttons, the 30MP sensor might be too high-res for some, 4K video has limited file types, expensive
It's been four years since the 5D Mk III hit the market, so has the Mark IV version been worth the wait? Absolutely.That bump in resolution to 30-megapixels won't suit all, though, while the £3,630 body-only price tag is a whole lot of cash. But there's n...

Touchscreen interface, Dual Pixel Raw has huge potential, 4K video capture, Advanced AF system
Expensive compared to rivals, ISO range hasn't increased
With a host of improvements and refinements, not forgetting potentially game-changing technology in the shape of Dual Pixel Raw, the 5D Mark IV looks set to be one of the most complete DSLRs we've ever seen. Just be prepared to pay for it though...
Full-frame sensor, Touchscreen is useful, Solid 4K video recording, Built-in Wi-Fi
Heavy, Expensive, Frame rate isn't particularly high
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV – Performance and AF The 5D Mark III was a solid performer when it comes to autofocus, so with the 5D Mark IV Canon is simply trying to improve this further. It's particularly impressive how much autofocusing has improved in Live View...
The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV hasnt stunned us in the same way as the EOS 5D Mark III did when it first arrived in 2012. Whereas the EOS 5D Mark III was quite a major step up from the EOS 5D Mark II, the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV feels more of a modest upgrade. Al...
Genuine improvements like touchscreen control, Dual pixel RAW is incredible (when it works), Fantastic video and still photo quality
New features mean a higher debut price, Some bugs to iron out in dual pixel RAW
