📖 Overview
The 5D Mark IV is Canon's legendary professional workhorse — a full-frame DSLR built for reliability, weather sealing, and consistent image quality across weddings, portraits, and editorial assignments. Its 30.4MP sensor strikes a good balance between resolution and file size, and the dual-pixel autofocus works well for live view shooting. However, as a DSLR in an increasingly mirrorless world, its optical viewfinder AF and 4K video limitations feel dated.
