Canon 5D Mark 4

On August 2016, Cannon announced the  release of Canon 5D Mark IV.

• Canon 5D Mark IV – Video Specs review and [[my opinions]]
  • S$5199 (body only – as at October 2016)
  • 30.4-megapixel full frame sensor
  • 60g lighter than Canon 5D Mark III [[60g isn’t much of a weight change!!??]]
  • Shoots 4K video… internally [[this should have been there a long long long time ago]]
    • 4096×2160
    • 4:2:2:2 8 bit quality
  • In-camera realtime downconvert from 4K to full HD
  • HDR effect at 1080p30
  • Touchscreen functionality [[a must-have feature in this touch-screen mobile device era]]
  • SD memory card slots AND CompactFlash [[this is great! SD cards can be found everywhere and cheaper]]
  • Includes headphone and mic jacks with full audio control
  • The cons
    • 4K cropped at 1.74x, while HD is full frame
      • https://vimeo.com/180108005
    • MJPEG compression type, [[this old video compression is going to eat up a lot of memory]]
    • Recording of long video is split into 4GB files
    • Rolling shutter [[oh come on, what the…]]
    • Slow motion at 120fps only available in 720p [[this is shameful, iPhone 6S and iPone 7 and do better]]
    • 30-minute cut off! Maximum recording time is 29:58 minutes
    • No tilting or articulating screen [[hence it’s definitely NOT designed for the Videographer]]
    • No C-LOG
  • Accessories and Kit
    • Tokina 11-16mm crop lens to counter the 4K crop factor without vignetting
  •  Competition
    • Sony A7s II [[still my preferred choice for DSLR video]]
    • Canon’s own EOS C series [[that’s why they intentionally made shooting video on 5D difficult]]
    • Panasonic GH4
  • Other notes:
    • Sensor size is 6720×4480 pixels, but 4K video uses only 4096×2160 pixels, hence the crop factor.
    • The Canon 5D Mark IV is made for Professional Photographers who want to shoot video and not for professional Videographers.
    • As I read comments in articles, people are still comparing with 35mm film and the sorts [[WAKE UP! This is the touch-screen era!]]
    • The first 5D was launched in 2005, followed by 5D Mark II – the first DSLR to feature Full HD video recording… that changed the game of videography.
    • Then came Mark III in 2013 and Mark 4 in 2016.
