A full-frame DSLR for professionals who wanted more features than the EOS 6D offered, without the price of the EOS-1D X Mark II.
Overview
The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV is a professional DSLR released in 2016. It sits in the middle of the lineup, with more features than the EOS 6D and a lower price than the high-speed EOS-1D X Mark II.
