    Given the features other competitors are offering today. I think the street price for the 5D IV should be around $2500. The extra $500 is for the Dual Pixel AF, a very competitive AF system and decent dynamic range. Bare in mind that the 5D IV’s sensor isn’t the cleanest among its class. High ISO performance is just decent, not super exciting compared to it’s competitors.

      You mean the 5D IV should be around $1,500 given the A7 III 🙂

    What’s great and not so great about any camera can be debated all day. As a long-time 5Diii shooter, my upgrade to the 5Div was a step forward. The focusing system, sensor and low light performance of this camera is even better than the iii. The grip makes the deal even better.

    I agree with JP, the 5D IV is a very capable machine, I picked up one during the last 5D IV + BG + CarePAK sale, and couldn’t be happier. Rock solid focusing system, my missed focus rate in all conditions (especially low light) during an event is in the single digits now, were talking 2-3 images per event at the most (Coming from a 6D/70D combination to a 5D4/6D backup setup). And even then, its typically because the subject moved at the last second, and was just a bit faster than the shutter speed I was using.

    The images it puts out are clean, and the controls are great. Whats not to like? If it does what you need it to do, and helps you get the images you want, its a great camera! And if you don’t need the grip (I didn’t), you can sell it no problem for around $260, which puts you at $2540 for a great full frame camera.

      Well, I own a 5D IV. The AF micro adjust thing is terrible. You waste hours calibrating it, and it’ll never be perfect. I just had a few massively front-focused shots today with the 70-200 2.8 II attached.

      If you want accurate focus, mirrorless is the answer. I own an A7R III, and hardly ever pick up the 5D IV anymore.

        AA, have you tried your Canon glass on the A7RIII? I am thinking of switching over and heard that some have decent success using the Sony/Canon mount adapter. It would certainly reduce the switchover cost.

          Here is the thing that people may not be aware of is that most Canon L lenses were designed for a 20ish MP sensors in mind. Thus, they could max out the sensor on either 5D III and 6D. However, when you couple the same L lenses against the 5DSr, most of them can only resolved around 35 MP out of a 50MP sensor. Things get even worst when mounted on the 5D IV sensor where they can resolve an average about 24MP out of a 30MP sensor. If you mount these L lenses on a 42MP a7rIII, your resolving power decreases via an adapter. Therefore, it’s better to switch the entire system if you really want to maximize the 42MP sensor on the a7rIII.

          Not really. I have an MC11 and a Metabones V, but haven’t bothered to even try them yet. I know there are some videos on YouTube that show Canon L glass works really well on the A7R III. I will mount my Canon 24-70 2.8 II on it, and may sell my Sony 24-70 2.8GM. The latter is now quite as sharp as the former unfortunately (and a lot more expensive in that).

          Once you cross 20Mpx, the law of diminishing megapixels kicks in big time. I have two 6Ds, a 5D IV and an A7R III. The 6Ds appear the sharpest by far (and remain my favorite cameras, believe it or not). The 5D IV and the A7R III, you need to down them if you want sharp images out of them. Viewing them at 100%, they both look like crap compared to the 6D at 100%. Just a fact of life. Upshot: don’t chase the megapixel count! Buy a nice, 20-26 Mpx camera like the A7 III or even a 6D. You will get beautiful, sharp images out of them. The 6D is really quite good up to ISO 6400. OK, the DR is quite $hite, but that won’t matter as much if you shoot parties / indoors (and get the exposure right.)

          Adapters won’t reduce your resolving power much (OK, they will a little bit as there is no such thing as a perfect fit and alignment, although both the MC11 and the Metabones V are really tight fits) as they have NO GLASS in them. They are just extension tubes to bridge the flange distance + electronics with a Canon-to-Sony AF algorithm bridge (which will never be perfect).

          Tony Northrop is recommending the Canon 24-70 2.8 II over the Sony 24-70 2.8 GM on the A7R III as it is sharper. It really is.

          Anyways, these are good prices on some very capable Canon cameras.

          Here is hoping Canon will come out with their mirrorless FF cameras soon, so we can use our wonderful Canon glass natively.

          Meantime, whatever camera you have, it’s good enough if it is less than 6-7-10 years old. Believe me, I own a lot of cameras. The difference between the IQ of the state of the art A7R III and the 6-yr old 6D is not that big. It really isn’t. The difference in price is huge.

        I own the 6D as well and the images are quite sharp because most current L lenses are optimize for a 20MP sensor. True, the Sony 24-70mm f/2.8GM isn’t as sharp as the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L. That’s because it was an earlier zoom lens design by Sony. I’m surprised that you found that the 6D images are sharper that the a7riii. I’m just wondering which Sony lenses you’ve tried on the a7riii. I shot with Sony fe 85mm f/1.8 and Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 both resolve about 40MP out of the 42MP…the images kick both my 6d and D810’s butt by a huge margin.

        I do, however, agree with the idea that a 20ish MP camera is the best because they make your work flow faster. No one needs a 42MP for snap shots…

    For Sony, I only own the 24-702.8 GM.

    What I mean is that when you zoom the 6D images to 100% on your screen, they will be a lot sharper than the 5D IV images viewed at 100% or the A7R III images viewed at 100%. Obviously, if you were to downsample the 5D IV / A7R III images to 20Mpxl, they should look sharper than images out of the 6D (all viewed at 100%).

      No, the images from the a7riii are much sharper at 100% compared to the 6D at 100%, no need to down sample. In this case, I would suggest renting some Sony prime lenses (85mm f/1.8 or 55mm f/1.8) and get samples to see for yourself.

    That’s interesting you say that. I will need to check. All the big name reviewers in YouTube videos say the images need to be downsampled.

    I have the same issue with the 5D IV. Viewed at 100%, the images are not quite as sharp as the images out of my 6Ds.
