Anything shot with a 5D4

Spent four days shooting the California Capital Airshow. This was it's second shoot and still amazed
with the results. Overall, everything is noticeably better than my 5D III was.
More keepers, better color under tough lighting conditions, better DR, and more latitude when editing
those tough shots.

Good grief Keith I opened up that first pic and nearly cut myself on it!! ;D
Have to admit I do envy your light

Any thoughts on the fps when say catching aircraft flying towards each other?

Aircraft cross-overs are tough to capture and mostly luck. I try for a minimum of 1/2000th. Trying to frame one and watch the other approach is a bit crazy, but the only way. As far as fps goes, 5 to 7 is the best I have. It's all a matter of went you fire the machine gun.

1/2000th

Thanks Keith, I really only mentioned cross over as a kind of worst case. I'm coming from a 7d1 and am seriously considering the 5d4 when the price is right for me, truth is that reduction of 1 fps is gnawing at me a bit there are so many other reasons I want to go to for but coming down on that spec is not what I hoped for. It's probably just a spec sheet thing though, would I really notice 1fps!, which is why I'm interested in real use opinion.

Regards

I am using the Canon 5Dmk4 for wildlife, alongside my 5D Mk3 and 1DX, and I am finding the image quality of the 5DMk4 a highlight. Sharing some images for illustration purposes.
The image of the two lion cubs was shot at iso 2000, shutter speed 1/1250sec and f4.0 and 400mm. Image in raw, processed with Adobe Camera Raw, no cropping.
Cheers
Grant

Another 5Dmk4 image from Botswana. The lion was stalking a pride mate, in play, and was shot at iso 3200, f5.6 and a shutter speed of 1/1600sec, at 400mm. Cropped from 30mpixels to 22.5mpixels, then downsized to 1500 pixels wide for this forum. Raw image processed in Adobe Camera Raw. Some noise reduction applied to the cats eyes only. I am very happy with this iso 3200 result, even with the crop.
Cheers
Grant

Canon 5Dmk4 image, of a hippo, Botswana's Okavango Delta. This image shot in raw, at iso 1250, f4.5, shutter speed 1/1250sec, and cropped to 19megapixels, before being downsized to 1500pixels for web. This image as well as the two lion images above, were taken with the EF 400 DO f4 IS ii.
Cheers
