Isn't that almost 2 years old? I guess it would be new for Nikon but the sensor has been in market for some time.

No Idea of a newer exmor, but I also don't recall which came first, A7r or D800 ?

I thought it was in they're latest cam? Maybe been out for 6months? Is that right?

Just looked it up. I guess it was announced June 10, 2015, so 15 months.

Video will be recorded to the card you have set to be the playback card.

Good golly mate! You teach me something new every day! And you'd think i'd know this already but since I rarely use SD cards it was never an issue for me (until now when I start buying SD because they're so much cheaper!) - I tend to lose SD cards since they're so small LOL

Yeah, I looked hard at the 810, before I bought the 5D4.

Thank you so much for the video some aw some information there.

I shoot an 800 at work and would have switched if I wasn't so heavily invested in Canon glass. I'm at a point where my 5DII needs a refresh so the MkIV looks pretty promising. Not in a hurry so might wait for the 6D refresh.

Is anyone else slightly unsettled by the reviews that are raving about how it's a great DSLR, nearly as good as the D810, which is being replaced any week now, are we about to be left behind again??

The reviews I am reading might be saying that the sensor is "nearly as good as D810", but they are not saying that about the camera which has a few steps ahead of the D810. These are not the same thing.

If the sensor is better than my 5DII or 7D then I'll be perfectly happy. Who cares that there's possibly something a little bit better somewhere else or just over the horizon? If it bothers you then don't buy this, quite simple! The fact is that for most (or me at least) this represents a significant upgrade from what they have. There's probably never going to be the perfect camera.

I'm also thinking that I might trade in the 7D and keep the 5DII to go with the 5DIV...for weddings (my main realm of photography) I use the 5DII about 90% and have never been entirely happy with the look of the 7D. Sure I'll lose a littel reach but then I could also get the 100-400 for sports and such like...

I disagree

People need t grow some kahones. I just climbed Mt Whitney with a 1Dx2, a 70-200 and a 17-35.....These camera are not heavy. My steal toes work boots weigh about the same

even without gear, I probably wouldnt even be able to climb that

maybe I need some growth hormones

Nothing wrong with a 5D2, but the AF alone is worth an upgrade to the 5D4. The files look much better in the new cam too. I've only had it a week, but I'm happy I upgraded from the 5D3.

Yeah, my GF tried to take some photos in dim light last weekend with the 5D2 - it hunted for a while and she gave up! Better AF would be a good help!

According to the keyboard Warriors who have never even seen a 5DIV in person, there are very minimal changes and its not even worth upgrading to. Additionally, the camera is "crippled" and a "minimalist" paperweight. By the way, I sold my 5DIII on and picked up my 5DIV earlier this week. I am very pleased with my new piece of trash.

^^ yea i'm very happy to have sold my 5D3 and gotten the IV

And I see many people who were bashing the camera after the announcement who actually try it and are saying "i know I complained when I saw the specs, but after using it, I love it" etc.

Hah! I work multi-day music festivals carrying the holy trinity of f/2.8 zooms, a couple of primes, two bodies and sometimes a flash. And I'm in my mid-50s. My only wish is that the beer be cold when I get to put my pack down. Sure, less weight would be nice but I'm not about to compromise, and at least for now I'm proud of the equipment that makes up that weight.
