omar Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Canon press release: http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-announces-the-eos-5d-mark-iv-dslr/ The Canon 5d Mark IV press release just happened and I've never been more excited to sell all of my canon gear and switch to Sony! LOL All jokes aside I'm sure this camera is great but I'm also sure people will be underwhelmed by the specs and lack of video functionality. But that's just canon, we shouldn't be surprised. This camera will still sell like hot cakes. As a video guy I look forward for new cameras and new tech but with canon not so much. They have become predictable and boring. Yes their images are great and their cameras are well built but I just would like to see more innovation and more video features on their DSLRs. I mean how hard is to add peaking or false color to these cameras? Anyways that's just my two cents. I'm sure I'm probably wrong about all this :p What do you guys and gals think?

OliKMIA Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 There is nothing to think. It will be an ok stills camera, not class leading in anything but do the job well. For video, it's a joke. Keeping my current Canon bodies because I won't spend $3500 just for a few Mpx and DR bump. I prefer to save for the next GH5/A7xx.

BenEricson Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Canon Color and Dual Pixel Auto Focus. This will be a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photographer-at-large Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 4K crop is 1.74x according to http://www.newsshooter.com/2016/08/25/hands-on-preview-canon-5d-mkiv-has-4k-internal-recording-with-a-1-74x-crop/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliKMIA Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 DPR says 1.64x crop. https://***URL removed***/reviews/canon-eos-5d-mark-iv-first-impressions-review/6 "Our largest concerns are around whether or not the 5D IV will be seen as a serious video tool for years to come, due to its Motion JPEG limitation and lack of Clean HDMI output in 4K (not to mention its 1.64x crop), as well as its lack of video support tools like zebras and Log gamma. The extremely high bitrates and CF card requirements may steer many towards shooting 1080p, which we'd expect is soft-as-usual. Finally, we wish Canon's viewfinder AF were more versatile and less situation-specific, capable of following subjects around the frame as well as its own Dual Pixel AF system."

IronFilm Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I wonder if the different crop sizes quoted is because of UHD vs DCI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFilm Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 HDR doesn't work with 4K, only 1080. I'd want to see this up against a BMPCC, maybe it is merely only doing catch up at best and is not gaining ahead in any way. Plus what downsides does doing HDR video have? That is another unknown.

Viet Bach Bui Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 In the HDR ON version of the beach shot the path to the beach looks underexposed to me. The car interior shot is a bit better. I would say it's around 1.5 stop of additonal DR, but what are the tradeoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Without C-log... my interest is low, though the HDR mode looks interesting. Hopefully ML get on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
