For those who prefer an optical viewfinder for stills photography, the Canon 5D mark IV continues to be popular. A newly designed full frame sensor gives a highly detailed 30.4 megapixel image and 4K video up to 30fps, and 1080p video up to 60fps.
Other features not common on earlier models include Wi-Fi, GPS, NFC, and in-built intervalometer, dual pixel autofocus and a 3.2” touch screen.
