Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

 
 
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
Canon has introduced its new camera after four years. It was introduced back in 2016 where its competitors were bombarding camera market with new models every year. Finally the wait was over in 2016 where canon enthusiasts got their hands on new CANON EOS 5D Mark IV.
 
Canon has introduced 5D Mark IV with 30 Mega Pixel sensor. Its sensor technology is CMOS DIGIC 6+ sensor which expands ISO range from 100-102400. It has Dual Pixels which also helps in focusing while switched to live view of the camera. It has 61 Auto Focus points out of which 41 points are cross type focus points. This camera has great build quality and has features introduces like Wi-Fi connectivity and GPS options as well where its predecessor lacks in. It is mandatory to mention here is that this camera has 4K video option which most of canon fans were waiting to have it in their canon camera bodies but 4k recording has 1.64x crop factor video recording. This crop factor limits to use good EF-S glass on this body and increases focal length of lens.

In my opinion this camera is good for professionals deals in portraits, Landscapes, Studio photography street photography and general video recorders like content created for YOUTUBE, V-logs, documentaries. It is a durable camera with great features.
but I would not recommend it for those who are looking for a camera which they may use in harsh weather, high speed photography and professional video recorders like cinema and large scale videos. Over all it is a good but expensive upgrade from mid range canon DSLRs to Professional body. 
 
Further It is necessary to mention here is that CANON recommends its EOS CINEMA series for cinema recordings.
