The 5D Mark IV is capable of capturing 4K video at both 24p and 30p, which is a big jump up from the 1080p resolution found on the 5D Mark III. Canon’s 4K implementation is based on the DCI standard (4096 x 2160) rather than the more common 16:9, UHD standard (3840 x 2160), meaning 4K video has a slightly wider aspect ratio that should appeal to filmmakers.The 5D Mark IV uses a native crop of the sensor for 4K capture, using a 4096 x 2160 pixel region of the sensor.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark IV ships this October and will cost $3499 body only, $4399 with the 24-70mm F4L IS USM lens and $4599 with the 24-105mm F4L IS II USM lens.
