Canon 5D Mark IV Review, Specs Roundup: 30MP Power DSLR Shines With DIGIC 6+ Processor, Dual Pixel AF Technology.
PrakashThe Canon 5D Mark IV has borrowed a lot from its predecessor and has carried forward the rich heritage of the 5D series.
The 5D Mark IV comes with a notable upgrade to 30.4MP sensors from the 22.3MP sensor of the 5D Mark III. It comes with the 5D series full-frame CMOS sensor.
With improved noise performance and broader dynamic range, the 5D Mark IV comes with on-chip digital-to-analogue conversion and uses the latest sensor technology as in 1D X Mark II and 80D.
It uses both a DIGIC 6 and a DIGIC 6+ processor along-with Canon's Dual Pixel AF technology.
The AF system is sensitive down to -3EV (-4EV in Live View) - that's darker than moonlight, while the fact that you can use lens/teleconverter combinations with a maximum aperture of f/8 and still have the luxury of all 61 AF points (21 cross-type) will be a real draw for sports and wildlife photographers, according to Techradar.
The large 3.2-inch display boasts an impressive 1,620,000 dots and touchscreen functionality which is on all the time. It has a similar 5D Mark III battery.
The 5D Mark IV features DCI 4K video capture at 4096 x 2160 pixels, at 30/25/24fps (approx 500Mbps). Also, you can take 8.8MP JPEG images from 4K video if needed, with the Motion JPEG file format available for 4K capture.
We get a host of Full HD options at 1080p as well as the ability to shoot 120fps HD video for some impressive slow-motion movies.
The 5D Mark IV has external microphone and headphone ports, as well as HDMI Mini out and USB 3.0 terminals.
Finally, the 5D Mark IV sports dual SD and CompactFlash card slots accepting fast UDMA 7 cards, and features both Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity for transferring images to a compatible device with a built-in GPS unit.
