    Zac i think this is a sign i was looking at used cameras last night and i chose to save up for the Canon 5D Mark IV, you inspire me bro i’m 14 and you have given me all the advice about cameras and you taught me how to edit. Just saying thank you bro keep up the good work!

    Thank you for this video 🌻
    Video wise, the 4K is 1.74 times crop, not an APSC crop. It’s 422 8bit in 4K too, unlike the 420 8bit in FHD.
    Every camera and every camera system has its pros and cons. I believe for documentary work, the 5DIV can do a very nice job, mainly in FHD and with lots of compromise in 4K. Other than the large MJPG files, the rolling shutter is really bad, but for interviews, 4K could be a nice option to go with, specially with the Sigma 18-35 f1/1.8.

    I have a 5D IV (and also a III) and continue to use it for professional jobs. Why? Why not. It takes beautiful photos, and I already have a variety of lenses for it. Newer cameras offer more advanced features, but I don't thing that they would improve my work. I may think differently if I was a sports photographer. I don't do much video work, so all is good.

    im thinking to get one the r6 is a bit too much for me and with the adapter alot of times some ef lenses the af does not work so and the 5d mark iv seems like the best camera i can afford and get good lenses, so i think ill go with that and i want a full frame camera and i prefer somethings thats built good also battery life is probably better than any mirrorless

    the entire EF lineup post 2010 is killer, I can see me using an EF camera for the next several years what would cause me to leave is if the RF 200-800 was faster or if Sony released a lens over 600mm that was fast.

    But I still can’t make up my mind on the choice. On the one hand, I want the p6 because of the technology, but on the other hand, the 5d is very similar to it. very difficult choice. and they are almost the same price as new ones.

    The 5D IV lacks in the video department with today's world. Photo's are stunning. Not the quickest kid on the block, but for my needs, perfect. So! I'm getting more frustrated as time goes on, using this camera in video mode. Dreading the idea of learning a new camera, but I'm a handheld shooter, Too much work in post production. Yes, it's a tank and love the way it feels and it does just work, it really does. It's a everyday workhorse camera that you can trust. I'm an adventure photographer, so this camera has been banged around some. 1080p/30 video do look pretty good, but without IBIS and using f/2.8 lens (no IS), it's capabilities are limited. With all the EF 'L' glass I've acquired, I'm looking more-and-more at the R5. Being a slow learner, it will take time to dial it in, as they say.😊

    a camera is made to take photographs. Video is something that less than 1% of casual photographers are interested in. The optical viewfinder will never be matched even with a billion dots ovf. The ergonomics of SLRs are something extraordinary. Battery life then, what are we talking about? The best photographers, the ones we study, shot film and with SLRs. Try to become passionate about photography and not technology... A DSLR is forever. A mirrorless will always have a better one technically the following year. But if you don't know how to shoot, save money. You will take good photos regardless of the camera you use...

    My Mk III has finally died. I already own the all the EF F/2.8L zooms and the 100-400L and a couple of L primes.
    I just shoot for myself these days, but still have my glass from my pro days. The Mk IV seems my only reasonable choice. It is hard to justify spending the money to replace all that glass to move up to the R5. (I know there are adapters, but still...)
