I used it for years, in all weather conditions, it's a beast, and maybe it's good to mention the sensor, it's a APS-H (crop factor 1.3) no full frame, and also not a "normal" Canon crop-factor 1.6 🍻
@@Cali62825It works fine for me until ISO 6400 with a fast L lens, most of the time i used it with a 70-200mm IS L F/2.8 II and the 24-70mm L F/2.8, i also used it with a Sigma 150-600mm C version, also with max ISO of 6400, also fine. 😊
I use this for Wildlife every day & love it! Put a Sigma 150-600 C lens on there & it's the most affordable combo available for Sports, Birds & Wildlife! Thanks for your perspective, but it works for me!
I think for us users that are not interested in shooting video at all, it opens up a lot more options both in the DSLR range and the older mirrorless range.
How can a fully functional, top-of-the-line camera from just 10 years ago be of no use anymore?... If that were so, then any such camera purchased today, would soon be worthless as well --- yet these cameras of today are often touted as if no worthy cameras existed before them (just as the 10 year-old cameras were touted... 10 years ago). If it took great pictures then, it should take great pictures now as well, unless it's broken or some crazy incompatibility arose preventing its use.
Technology is always "the best so far", not the "the best there will be". The cost of manufacturing new tech reduces every year, and as a result the pace at which things grow is exponential. Are you familiar with Moore's Law? It is observed that, "The number of transistors on a microchip doubles about every two years with a minimal cost increase." What's possible today is completely out-shined tomorrow. We see that in the rise of "AI" specifically AI videos. What was possible two years ago is utterly rubbed out compared to what's possible now. We had dial up internet in the 90s and early 2000s...we couldn't think to survive on that today, but it was really good for us..back then, because we didn't know a better life.
What is mirrorless? The Canon 1D Mark IV can continuously shoot high burst rates in mirrorless like silent mode in live view. I just love using it when needed. A DSLR can instantly convert itself to mirrorless camera but, never the other way around.
I might have to return "my" 5div to my job if I get laid off. Debating between another 5div, EOS R, or one of the 1D lineup. I do 80% video and 20% portrait. My A camera for video is a C100 mkii, and I love it!!
I’m glad I can across this video, I have a mark 1111 and I travel and usually in places that are sketchy, so I’m looking to find a camera I can just use and not worry about it getting stolen or broken.
Fabulous photos have been taken with this over the years and been published... it has not "deteriorated".. if you know what you do you can make miracles, its just a tool
I'm using 5 old Canon DSLRs and all of them have tons of shutter life remaining. So, won't buy a new camera in next 10 years. Not into videos so, couldn't care less about that feature.
I have 2 of these as insurance replacements from 2012. I have no real interest in video only stills. I have a several EF lenses & will use these 2 bodies to start in Sport this fall. Sport is not just about the action there are so many other areas of sport that make up a story such as press conferences or features. If I had the financial option I would completely uongrade my entire gear to a mirror less system.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with them, but technology has moved past compact flash, so we now have SD and other types of formats that we now use over compact flash
@@budgetphotography413 OK, just wondering maybe your CF slot was faulty. I find I get much better performance with the CF card in my Mk4 because the SD card is limited to high speed only (no UHS-I or -II), while the camera can use the fast UDMA-7 CF cards that even improve the original specs, taking burst in RAW from 26 to 31 frames. And these UDMA-7 cards are like 1/2 the price of new formats. Long live the Mk4.

Thanks for putting that I must have most that in my research
How did it do in low light for you and what were your settings? Thanks

I have this body . I use it with canon 80/200 f2.8 and tamron 24-70mm f2.8 I shoot metal concerts . Iso 3200 to 800 works great.

If it works for you that's great glad you enjoy it 😎it'll keep working for years to come

Had a mark2 back when it was relatively new and the pics I took still look good day as I also had decent glass. I love the tank feel and ergonomics.

I'm your first view on this video. 👍🏿

I love my 1dmkiv
I love mine with a 50mm stm, a 65mm equivalent for street photography.
Yeah it’s a grate set up
I use this great camera for wildlife photography in daylight. Never need more than ISO 6400 even at f5.6 or f8.

1d4 is all you need
bought it based on your recommendation.
I'm making a update to this video in the coming weeks
I'm using 5 old Canon DSLRs and all of them have tons of shutter life remaining. So, won't buy a new camera in next 10 years. Not into videos so, couldn't care less about that feature.
Does it have autofocus in live view? I know some of the older ones don’t. Not sure about this one?
Apparently it can but I've never personally tried it so I could be wrong.
@@budgetphotography413 awesome thank you. That was the only thing I was questioning about it!
Which is better and has the most important and strongest specifications 1D Mark 4 Or 1Dx?
Id say go for the 1dx

Make a guide on how to use it, there are literally 0 guides for it 🙂😔
People love new things
Very very big camera is very good camera
Good video. What’s wrong with the CF card slot?

@@budgetphotography413 Still love CF cards here. Not so much SD cards. 'Horses for courses' I guess. 😊
hi everyone! is someone of you using this camer with m42 adpters? is it possible or does the mirror hit when it is set the focus to infinity?
I have a 1dx that does not work with a m42 adapter. I'd assume the 1d 4 is the same story
is there a difference between mark 3 and mark 4?
Not a lot if memory serves me right
@budgetphotography413 is it crop sensor?
It is it’s apsh crop it’s just smaller then full gram but bigger then 1.6 crop
@@budgetphotography413 Mark III doesn't have video abilities.
So is it better than Nikon D3?
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to use the Nikon d3 so I wouldn’t really be able to say
