Canon EOS 5D Mark IV

Canon's 2016 full-frame workhorse: a 30.4MP sensor, 61-point viewfinder AF and Dual Pixel AF on a touchscreen for live view and video. It records cropped DCI 4K, carries dual CF and SD slots, GPS and Wi-Fi, and is still a common wedding and event body on the used market.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
