Some EOS 5D Mark IV Information [CR1]

[raptor3x]

Late to the party here, but this single feature nearly made me ditch my 5DIII for a mirrorless system like the X-T1, which has this ability. The 1D series is way too much camera for what I need; it's really frustrating to have to upgrade for this single reason.

Can someone point me toward info on enabling this feature using Magic Lantern?

The X-T1 only has spot metering in the center, just like the non-1D Canon bodies. AFAIK there aren't any mirrorless bodies that offer spot metering linked to AF point.

Worth waiting for the Canon 5D Mark IV? or just purchase the 5D iii now ?

Hi Joseph!

It always depends on what you need and when you need it. And of course on your bank account

If you buy a 5D3 now, you'll get an extraordinary tool, mechanical built, AF technology, etc. for a great price right now but a sensor and IQ that is 4 years old but not limiting a whole bunch of pros and amateurs around the world.

If you can afford to wait some extra months - maybe more than a year, because we don't know when the 5D4 will be released - then you'll get an extraordinary tool with everything a little bit better, maybe quite notable better than the 5D3 but also for an extraordinary price close to the MRSP and not getting lower for the first 6 months.

By the way: Lately all manufacturers had some flaws with their cameras during the first few months after the market introductions. (hoping, the 5D4 will be perfect)
