Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Preview

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV DSLR Preview: is it much better than the Canon EOS 5D Mark III or not? http://froknowsphoto.com/canon-eos-5d-mark-iv-dslr-preview/

The long wait for the replacement to the EOS Canon 5D Mark III is officially here with the announcement of the EOS Canon 5D Mark IV DSLR. Click Here to download the FULL SPEC SHEET http://froknowsphoto.com/canon-eos-5d-mark-iv-dslr-preview/

The major question is has it been worth the wait? Let me run down what I think are the main specs.

Photo Specs
30.4 Megapixel CMOS Full Frame sensor up from 22.
Digic 6+ processor (The 1DX Mark II has duel)
ISO 100-32,000: This is slightly better than the 5D Mark III but keep in mind the megapixels went up to 30.4 which is why the ISO did not jump as high.
7 FPS is a nice feature. The issue is you only get 21 frames in a burst to CF and 19 to SD. How do you have a NEW camera and include one CF and not a CFast and a SD that's UHS1 not UHS2? This right here is a huge mistake that should never have happend.
3.2 inch full touch screen is ACE in my book.
61 AF points with 41 of them being CROSS type. This is the same one you find in the 1DX Mark II
Duel Pixel RAW which is super new and super interesting. The gist of it is that you may be able to do micro focus adjustments after the fact.
WIFI, NFC and GPS built in.
USB 3.0 Terminal

Video Specs
4K up to 30 FPS with a 1.74X Crop factory
Full DCI Cinema Resolution
29:50 of Recording
Motion JPEG Codec @ 500 megabits per second
NO 4k HDMI OUT!!!!!!
8mp still JPEG frames pulled form 4k. I guess this could come in handy somewhere.
Dual Pixel AF is AMAZING for video
WIFI App lets you control the entire camera from settings to focus to starting and stoping recording.

The camera is priced to sell at $3499 which is the same introductory price that the Canon 5D Mark III was and it will be available early September.

All and all this is a nice camera with some nice feature bumps and some minor head scratcher things. Will it be a good camera? We will get one in our hands and put it through the paces in a "Real World Review".

Is this camera better than the Nikon D810 and D500? Will lightroom be able to open the RAW files right off the rip? Is this the best camera for 4K or is Sony better?
