Quite surprised at the shallow RAW shooting ability of the 5DIV. Its single processor + CF slot can only push 21 full raw frames in one burst limiting continuous shooting time to 3 sec. Almost half of the 5DIII(!!).

Canon could have used a processorset-up like the 5DS/R or CFast to change this - even if I'd prefer not to deal with yet a third card format myself.

Now, I very seldom shoot long bursts, but if I where to get a 5DIV to supplement my 5DS/R that actually makes its far less of an obvious upgrade for action shots to me.

Even the 5DS/R will shoot for ~3.7 sec @ 5fps (18-19 shots) before slowing down. 5DIV has 40% more fps, but the 5DS has >20% longer time to follow the action when that's important. For me its mostly short bursts 3-4 pictures and once in a while (very seldom) long bursts - but these few times I really want the burst to be as long as possible. YMMV.

5DIII could keep shooting much longer reaching ~5.2 sec @6fps with a fully charged battery - or for even longer as fps drops as the 5DIII battery level drops (I know it can only do 6fps as long as you do not use both card slots and forgo the added safety...).

Scroll down to see an interactive refocusing thing where you can click on a point to refocus, we're talking a good two inches at least...which I find difficult to believe?

Upon shooting with it for the first time today, I simply adore my mark 4. Surprisingly the slight weight gain does make a little difference, and the 30 MP is a lot better for what I shoot. Mind you, for dropping 5G on a camera body which isn't even top of the line, you should get something pretty darn good. To be honest, it is pretty darn good, but that's all. There are no nifty new surprises or anything like that, and TBH looking at the photos on the computer it's virtually impossible to tell if they were shot on a mark 3 or 4. Those of you who also bit the bullet, what are your thoughts so far?

[email protected] · Aug 25, 2016

It's my hope that this discussion stick to the collection of information of specs and tech for the 5D4. One can hope...

The 5D4 appears to be a collection of 3 notable things:
1) A set of very nice upgraded features, such as a long-needed improved shutter action, intervalometer, DLO, the little thumb switchy thing, and perhaps a dozen other such niceties, which are easy to dismiss until you've grown accustomed to them in another recent camera.

2) Pretty significant sensor improvements that have been soaked up primarily by A- a 50 percent increase in pixels and B- some low-ISO dynamic range improvements. This means that those who hoped to get a 4.5 year tech leap in high ISO, low-light shooting were left behind. You can't get both that and 30 mp today, apparently. This remains an area we'll know more about quickly, once some cameras make it out to people willing to shoot RAW and shoot some side-by-side comparisons. As usual, provided JPEGs are about as useful in making conclusions on this as, say, an artist's charcoal rendition of what they believe the sensor might be able to output.

3) A stealthy Dual Pixel Raw file set of features that remain more mysterious than one would expect upon the launch of the technology. The main Canon launch materials were pretty poor at describing what these were, but eventually some videos surfaces of before-and-after versions of pictures exploiting the technology. In my opinion, it's pretty cool, although certainly limited to an edge effect, with the minuscule parallax provided by the dual pixels not allowing for much adjustment in post. But, again, in my opinion, this is a bonafide magical surprise.

Key Upgrades:
- Low ISO dynamic range is said to have gained. Explorers of Light have been eager to tout the increased ability to raise shadows in their shots. This sounds a lot like the 1DX2's pattern where on-chip ADC allowed them to push more stops on the low-ISO end.
- 50 percent megapixels upgrade
- Dual pixel
- 1 more fps
- Wifi & NFC
- GPS
- 4k
- Touchy-feely display
- Improved metering
- A bit bigger AF point coverage, and more cross-types
- Various software features, including DLO, diffraction correction, intervalometer, etc.
- Various hardware features, including slicker shutter, a thumb button, bringing the weather sealing up to the 7D2 snuff

Not Upgrades:
- There has been no mention of the linking between metering and focus point, a 1-series longtime favorite. You'll have to pony up another $3k to own that small subroutine in software.
- High ISO low light hasn't been touted as a big gain. This may indicate that it is not better or is only very slightly better, as the 1DX2 proved to be.

Former Areas of Mystery:
- Dual Pixel Raw tricks: lots of speculation here, and now we know that most of it was true, only not terribly large in its effect. Pick your bokeh position; sharpen your point of focus by what looks like the equivalent of a +3 MFA adjustment; reduce ghosting by perhaps 30 percent. But (big but) you need to use Canon's software to do these tricks (Wah, wah, wahhhhh).

Current Areas of Mystery:
- High ISO, low light performance. There were some nice (JPG) pictures at about 10,000 ISO that didn't show objectionable grain, but it's impossible to know what the actual light values were when they were taken. I expect RAWs will leak out within a week, as they have in the past, and we'll know.
- The degree to which the Dual Pixel Raw tricks are effective, and - especially - the frequency with which the tricks can come to bear to make much of a difference on an average shot.
- The likelihood of Adobe being able to digest Dual Pixel Raws and do something useful with them in Lightroom eventually.

That's my first impression from what we've been told and shown in the past 24 hours. Would be very happy for people to fill in the holes or correct any misimpressions.

kirispupis · Aug 25, 2016

The 5D4 looks like a nice camera, but since I already have a 1DX2 there looks to be too much overlap to pick one up. I do believe a high MP camera will complement it well, but I'd prefer to wait until the 5DS + 5DSR are updated with the latest DR improvements.

Any ideas when we may see them updated?

matrix95136 · Aug 25, 2016

I am an amateur but avid photographer. I had a 6D which I was happy with. Unfortunately it broke (water damage) and I need to find a replacement. I am wondering if should just recorder 6d or get 5D series. I mostly shoot pictures (landscapes, portraits, street etc). I am aware of better AF system on 5D but I do little action photography. I do shoot video occasionally. Given that I used snapshot feature of 6d heavily for my limited video recording use of 6d, I find it quite disconcerting that video snapshot is missing entirely from 5D. That might indicate 5D caters more to professionals (who don't care about snapshot feature?) and as much as I might benefit from its advanced features and capabilities, I don't need it? Except for this feature 5D seems a superset of 6D and wouldn't have given me a pause otherwise.

Thanks

Has anyone used this yet? I ordered the TS-E 17 f/4L version the other day specifically to use with their ND1000 filter for architectural shots to blur out people & cars and was curious what the XL version is like, other than huge. I have also been using the Breakthrough Filters 10-stopper with great luck on my 24-70 f/2.8II and 70-200 f/2.8 IS II lenses.

I'm honestly trying to decide between the FreeArc XL and the 16-35 f/4 IS as I can live with the 16mm (for exteriors at least). I think I can deal with the size if the quality is decent, but will go with the lens if the adapter and dinner plates don't measure up.

SteveM · Aug 25, 2016

Price in USA is $3499; price in UK is £3599. If the current exchange rate is £1 = $1.32????
Am I missing something here?
I won't be buying.

Based on feedback from large photo organizations, news photojournalists, and so on, Canon has delivered a significant firmware upgrade for the EOS-1D X Mark II camera.  Firmware upgrade version 1.1 clearly targets professional users and organizations, but as you’ll see, some of these features may be useful to individual working pros or even serious photography enthusiasts.  We’ll examine what’s new in this firmware upgrade in this article.</p>
<p><strong>In a nutshell: what’s new and different?</strong></p>
<p>This new upgrade (version 1.1) addresses specific issues that professional news and photojournalism organizations have brought to Canon’s attention — we understand that not all of these will be important in more ordinary, everyday use to individual photographers. That said, the changes and new features that this firmware adds to the EOS-1D X Mark II camera are the ability to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Install up to 39 items of IPTC information into the camera, and to add data (or deliberately not apply it) to images you take</li>
<li>Add set-up information for up to 40 new Wi-Fi® networks to a memory card, and load that data as a full set of possible Wi-Fi networks to select from for connection</li>
<li>Transfer only “protected” images via Wi-Fi</li>
<li>Retain GPS position data:  Continue to apply last known GPS location information to images subsequently taken, even if GPS connection is lost (photographer went inside a building, etc.)</li>
<li>Change LCD color tone (four pre-defined settings), to either approximate display from other cameras you’re working with, or to shift color tone based on ambient lighting as the LCD monitor is being used</li>
</ul>
<p>The aim of these changes is to enhance a professional photographer’s workflow; improve on-location network and Wi-Fi operations (especially for photographers working at large events, with many Wi-Fi networks in simultaneous operation); and to smooth the process of transferring images and managing them with new embedded metadata.  We’ll take a brief look at each, to shed some light on what changes and potential applications have been implemented.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that the EOS-1D X Mark II differs from other Canon EOS models in that it not only permits network communication and transfer of images via Wi-Fi (using the optional WFT-E8A or WFT-E6A wireless file transmitters), but also via wired ethernet connection — there’s a dedicated ethernet port on the camera for this purpose.  This allows similar network connectivity, but without some of the variables users can encounter on-location with Wi-Fi transmission.  Firmware v. 1.1 doesn’t change this; we only want to remind users of it here.</p>

Most of my shooting now is tripod close-up/macro utilizing my 180 macro mounted on a dated 1Ds3.
I also use Canon Utility Software tethered to my computer using the LV function with the automatic
focus changes with the arrow gizmos which I then use to stack images using PS CC.
1000 pixel example with some artifacts.

Being an anal retentive SOB...are there any of the newer cameras that will cough out better IQ?

paulrobinson87 · Aug 25, 2016

Hey guys, thought I would start this topic since I know a lot of us are using these cameras for a combination of both photo and video. I am in the market for a new camera, hot on my mk3 for years, however I want to make sure I get the best video quality possible. Do you think there will be a noticeable difference in the 4K output of the 1dx ii over the 5d iv. other than the 60fps in 4K, do you see any other differences in the video between th two cameras?

thanks

LoneRider · Aug 25, 2016

The one feature that is kinda cool on the 5Div is the diffraction/aberration correction. My biggest worry is that it won't work with my new'ish Sigma 24-105/f4

The EOS 5D Mark IV camera is also equipped with a number of in-camera optical correction functions previously available only using Digital Photo Professional. It comes preloaded with aberration data particular to specific lenses, helping to eliminate the need to register lens data on previously released lenses and correcting images with virtually no delay in-camera. The EOS 5D Mark IV not only fixes peripheral brightness and chromatic aberration, but also features distortion correction and diffraction correction. Distortion correction helps resolve barrel and pincushion distortions, while diffraction correction helps to eliminate the blurring effects from diffraction that can be created when capturing an image at a small aperture.

I am wondering if there will be a means for Sigma provided data to be put into the 5D, or Canon will work with 3rd party lenses?

Any insights?

(BTW: I preordered anyway)

thanks,
tom

Well, with the 5D Mark IV out of the way - the next camera that seems logical for Canon to update or release is the 6D2 sometime in 2017.

There's already been threads about it, but now that the 1DX2 and 5D4 specs are known, we can speculate differently about the 6D2.

24 or 28 MP
ISO 32000
45pt AF system, possibly 19pt system if Canon goes low.
Touchscreen at minimum.
Possibly flip or articulating
GPS / WIFI / NFC with certainty.
5 FPS - I think this is a given.
-3EV AF
Single SD Slot

DPAF? That's a tough one....if it has an articulating screen, I say yes. If not, then no.
If it has DPAF, they will have to cripple or nerf the video quality and features. No way the 6D2 can be a better video making machine than 5D4 or 1DX2. It will end up being a FF 80D basically.

Low end would be 24MP, 19pt AF, touchscreen only, single SD.
High end would be 28MP, 45pt AF, touch/flip/articulate, dual SD.

Reality could be somewhere in the middle. High end in my view would challenge the 5D4 way too much. Even if the 45pt system is not "intelligent" or fast, the spread will be too useful to many photographers. After all, no one is buying this to be a sports or action camera. So the spread is what counts, not the AF tracking speed. However, the higher end speculated specs would make this camera competitive with Nikon's offerings. The low end specs would not make it competitive at all. Although, Canon didn't seem to mind having an under-spec camera in the 6D. I have a 6D, and while the IQ is fantastic, it is under gunned compared to the competition. It still sold well, because of people being in the Canon system (owning the glass). Canon likely to follow same model. It works, so why would they change? A lower line almost never bests the higher line camera in anything. Very rare.

The 6D was better in low light AF at -3EV over the 5D3, and had slightly cleaner images at high ISO when pixel peeping, less banding. That's it. Nothing else was better. The 5D4 beats the 1DX2 in nothing except for resolution. The same as was in the past.

I don't expect any changes to this trajectory from Canon. Canon competes with itself.

The higher end speculation, would in my opinion take sales away from the 5D4. I would buy a 6D2 over a 5D4 with those specs any day. Thus, is stands to reason that these features won't happen.

The 70D should have a 16 shot RAW buffer, but after feeling my camera has behaved sluggish in this regard (the fps/buffer seems to slow down much quicker now) and playing around with the AF/Speed custom settings thinking it was that, I notice my shot buffer when you half-press shows 13; the 70D is meant to be up to 16 afaik for RAW only.

Card is a 32GB Sandisk Extreme (the pre-gold, red label one marked 45MB/s) but I also get 13 shots when I inserted a new Sandisk Extreme (gold labelled 60MB/s U3) Micro SD card. And I know in general the camera has a SD card slot around 40MB/s.

Now I'm not 100% sure that I ever saw 16 with these cards, but I think I have. I've mucked around with the AF custom settings, Long exposure NR, High ISO NR is Off, and that lighting thing is on standard (hmm on hindsight I didn't actually check if "Standard" is the same as off).

Anyway, anyone got any ideas what it could be? FWIW I did order an Extreme Pro card yesterday as it was on special but like I said I doubt the card is the issue.

AlanF · Aug 25, 2016

I use the 5DS R and 7DII for bird photography. Birds in flight are just a small part of what I take, spot-on AF and high resolution are the most important features for me. So, would the 5D IV be an upgrade or an addition (I sold my 5D III, regretfully, a few months ago)?

Whatever the Dilberts say about the Mk IV, it does have some very nice features for us birders and nature shooters. The new focussing system from the 1DX II with greater f/8 capability is a real plus, especially if it is improved generally. The possibility of tweaking focus via the new DPAF could be exciting if it is able to get those just out-of-focus shots sharp. The downsides of the DPAF are huge files and possibly not being able to use DxO on RAW. Better DR at iso 400-800 would be a plus.

So, there is now a dilemma. I much prefer the 5DS R to the 7DII in terms of IQ, but like having it as a back-up, which can be used for action photography. I don't want to lose the very sharp resolution of the 5DS R, enhanced by its not having an AA filter. So, it's waiting for the hands-on reviews of the 5D IV.

<p>“Canon’s EOS 5D series of DSLR cameras has a history of being at the forefront of still and video innovation. And today, we add to this family of cameras the EOS 5D Mark IV– the first in our 5D series to offer 4K video and built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, president and COO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “In developing this new DSLR camera, we listened to the requests of current EOS users to create for them a modern, versatile camera designed to help them create and share beautiful still and video imagery.”</p>
<p>“Outdoor photographers will really appreciate the new EOS 5D Mark IV, as it offers more resolution, better detail in the shadows, and improved speeds in autofocus and frame rate,” reported acclaimed nature photographer and Canon Explorer of Light George Lepp. “With the fabulous resolution of 4K video and the ability to make beautiful prints from a frame of that video as an added bonus, this camera sets a new mid-range standard for nature photography.”</p>

<p>“I have owned every camera in the 5D line, so the new EOS 5D Mark IV feels like an old friend in my hands, only better” exclaimed renowned wedding photographer and Canon Explorer of Light Clay Blackmore. “It has everything a professional photographer needs to create outstanding, quality images every time. Between its ability with still images and video capture, it is the complete package and—in my opinion—the best wedding camera on the planet.”</p>
<p>“When working with macro beauty photography, I need fast and precise autofocus. With each breath of the subject I need to be able to check the exact placement of focus, whether on the tips of the eyelashes, the pupils or other detail of her face. The EOS 5D Mark IV  gave me exactly the speed and precision required to capture the detail and stunning color that is a signature of my beauty work,” remarked celebrated fashion and beauty photographer and Canon Explorer of Light Lindsay Adler. “I’m always looking for ways to create visuals that help me stand out from the competition. Cinemagraphs, also known as ‘living images,’ allow me to combine still frames and video to create captivating images. Because of the EOS 5D Mark IV’s 4K and slow motion capabilities, I now have the ability to create high quality and visually compelling cinemagraphs without having to invest in an expensive cinema camera!”</p>
<p><strong>The Next Generation of EOS 5D Cameras</strong></p>
<p>In addition to the new Full Frame sensor, the new EOS 5D Mark IV includes a 61-point High-Density Reticular AF II system, similar to the one found in the flagship EOS-1D X Mark II, with all AF points selectable by the user (and up to 41 cross-type points depending on the lens in use). The AF system, improved over previous Canon 5D series models, includes expanded coverage across the frame that supports AF at maximum apertures up to f/8 with all 61 points for high-precision autofocus even when using EF super-telephoto lenses with an EF extender. Standard ISO range for the EOS 5D Mark IV is ISO 100-32,000 and is expandable to 50-102,400.</p>
<p>The EOS 5D Mark IV also introduces a new 150,000 pixel RGB+IR metering sensor with enhanced precision and performance compared to its predecessor, improving upon facial recognition and tracking as well as nature and sports scenes with fast-moving action. AF sensitivity in low light is EV-3 and EV-4 when in Live View mode. The EOS Scene Detection System can detect and compensate for flickering light sources that are often used in gymnasiums and swimming pools. When enabled, this anti-flicker system automatically adjusts shutter release timing to help reduce disparities in exposure and color especially during continuous burst shooting.</p>
<p>Following the groundbreaking video recording capabilities introduced in the EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 5D Mark III, the EOS 5D Mark IV takes the next leap forward offering DCI 4K video recording.  Adding to the versatility of capturing 4K video, is Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF. This proven autofocus system allows for continuous focus tracking of subjects, and can be customized by the user for optimal performance. Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology not only enhances 4K video recording, but also helps create crisp focus for 4K Frame Grab extraction of 8.8 megapixel still JPEG images, all done in camera.</p>
<p><strong>Mobile Connectivity</strong></p>
<p>For the first time in an EOS 5D series DSLR camera, the EOS 5D Mark IV features built-in Wi-Fi®<sup>1</sup> and Near-Field Communication (NFC)™<sup> 1</sup> providing for the easy transfer of images and MP4 movies to compatible mobile devices, as well remote shooting when using the Canon Camera Connect App<sup>2</sup>. The EOS 5D Mark IV also includes a built-in GPS<sup>3</sup> receiver with compass for precise geo-tagged information of latitude, longitude, and elevation. This is especially valuable to wildlife photographers and photojournalists who need to track their locations, as well as providing sports and wedding photographers the ability to sync a multiple-camera setup with extreme accuracy and precision. The camera’s built-in GPS can also be used to sync the camera’s time to the atomic clock, an invaluable feature when multiple photographers are covering the same event.</p>

I recently downloaded from the Canon website the current version of the lens aberration correction files into my EOS utility program.

Question- not all my lenses seem to have correction files. Is this because these lenses do not need correction?

These are the lenses which do not have correction files
Most of these are NOT new lenses---

EF-s 24mm f2.8 STM
EF-s 10-18 f4.5-5.6 IS STM
EF 50mm f1.8 STM
EF 16-35 f4L IS USM

Am I missing something? Why can't I find correction files for these lenses?

How can I find out if correction files for these lenses will be available someday?

Thanks!!

I've been a Canon EOS owner since 1996, after I switched from Minolta to Canon when I went pro. I have been self-employed as a freelance commercial photographer since then too. I have been shooting video since shortly after the introduction of the 5D2. I have a large lens selection of Canon lenses from fish-eye to super-telephoto.. including several IS lenses from Canon.. I shoot my video projects primarily with my 5D3 bodies and use my older 5D2 bodies to cover events like weddings..

The overall look of the 5D3 image is amazing for what I do... I have seen what a Sony Alpha a7S II Mirrorless Digital Camera can also do in a lab test side-by-side, and I see that the Sony has more detail for video, and less "noise".. it also appears to capture at a more "bluer" tone than the Canon 5D3.. something I don't like at all..

Do I "need".. iso 1020879697659264927...? No......not really.. If I can get a clean 6400, I'll be happy... What I am looking for is a "walk around" camera that can pop on a shotgun mic, (hopefully use built-in an articulating screen with a loupe vs an external one)

I'm looking at options like a DJI gimbal rig.. or something to that effect... and would like to have a maximum steady shot... I figure with the combination of IS on the lens... and the gimbal well balanced, I should be in the ballpark.. However, I see that the Sony I mentioned above also has IS in the body, and that I can get an additional lens adapter for another 400 bucks that can mount my Canon EF lenses to it..

Is there a big difference to have IS on the body with IS on the lens, or does one cancel out the other, or is it better to have IS in the lens, with no IS on the body..?

I figure there has got to be someone out there who has experience in this who shoots video with the Sony & Canon system combo..

Thank you,

JP

I´d like to know, what are the differneces in the AF systems of the 1DXII, 5DsR, 7DII and coming 5DIV.
Is there some - understandable - review about this topic?

The 1DXII and 5DsR do have the same number of AF points, my 5DsR has 5 double cross points too. Whats the difference apart from higher photosensitivity?

Thanks
