Renowned nature, wildlife, and travel photographer Richard Bernabe posted his impression about the new Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. Another positive review for the latest addition to Canon’s winning EOS 5D series.

About the dynamic range:

High-contrast sunrise and sunset situations often needed only only single exposure in order to capture the full range of tones in the scene.

About high ISO:

Properly exposed files were perfectly acceptable at 3200 ISO and even 6400.

About the AF system:

The autofocus system on the Canon 5D Mark IV is very accurate and locks onto any bit of available contrast, even in low light.

From the conclusion:

The Canon 5D Mark IV is a game changer for me. The improvements are exactly what I had hoped for – better dynamic range and high ISO performance – among many others. The results I was able to see with my own eyes this past week have me super excited about my travel schedule for 2017 and the prospect of taking this camera along with me. I suspect the Canon 5D Mark IV will be my landscape, nature, and travel workhorse DSLR for at least the next two or three years.

I recommend you read the review, since it is not based on lab settings but on the impression and the experience of a professional photographer. Moreover, the sample pictures are beautiful.

Photography Blog posted their comprehensive Canon EOS 5D Mark IV review. The EOS 5D Mark IV gets 4.5 stars out of 5, it’s called one of the best DSLRs on the market. Agree.

From the conclusion:

While the new 30 megapixel sensor doesn’t sound like a massive improvement on the 5D Mark III’s 22 megapixels, in conjunction with the Digic 6 processor it results in higher resolution and still very impressive low-light performance, with an almost noise-free range of ISO 50-6400 and perfectly usable 12800 and 25600 settings. The benefits of the headline-grabbing Dual Pixel RAW file format are a lot more subtle, so much so that for some users it won’t be worth the significant downsides of turning it on.

Still and video image quality, burst shooting speed, autofocusing, connectivity and live view have all been greatly improved, making the EOS 5D Mark IV a very well-rounded DSLR camera that’s a veritable pleasure to shoot with. While the industry has placed a lot of emphasis in recent years on smaller, lighter mirrorless cameras, there’s still a lot to be said for shooting with a “traditional” DSLR, and in that respect the 5D Mark IV is certainly one of the best on the market.
