You have misunderstood me. I was not saying upgrading to 5Div, I was saying upgrading the 5Div to c-log.
I agree, there are a lot of improvements to the 5d iv especially for photo. I know, I own both Cameras and I know how to use them. But I tell you what, I would sacrifice the dual pixel and wifi gps functions for a professional 10bit codec. For some rediculous reason canon is promoting post color grading with c-log on 8bit codecs. I'm sorry this is just silly at this point. And the rolling shutter of the 4k plus the crop is really not good.
What they should have done was:
1 Super 35mm 1.3x crop 4k 10bit 422
2 And full frame 1920 10bit 422 (not h.264 420 8bit)
3 less rolling shutter.
Personally I would trade video autofocus, wifi, touchscreen and GPS for the features mentioned above.
I actually emailed Canon nicely mentioning my concerns and they told me I should take a look at the 11,000 c300 ii
I didn't tell them this but I said to myself, no thanks I'll just use 5diii with ML RAW if I want to color grade.
Im not saying the 5Div is bad. All I am saying is, personality it let me down. This is not the same 5D that spearheaded the DSLR video revolution.
I agree with you on 2 and 3. 2 doesn't really affect me much because I always shoot at 4K and if required downsize to 1920 which I believe still give me 422 color sampling. I have not worked with 10bit video so I don'tr know what I am missing. I also don't color grade most of my work so also don't have a need for C-log. The only time I would need something like that is if am shooting with both my Sony FDR-AX100 and Canon 5D4 and need to match colors, which at this point I also seldom do. Isn't the Sensor in the Canon 5D4 already much bigger than a Super 35 sensor since it has to accommodate 30MP photography?
Well in any case I hear you and everyone has their own thoughts, but for me. I am quite ecstatic with the camera. Upgrading from a Canon 5D Mark II was a huge step up and I will use it for the next 5 - 7 years. I just don't get that many requests for people actually hiring me to shoot in 4K. My trick is shooting in 4K and delivering a 1080P product which looks great. Which I can easily do with this camera. For my personal stuff (not getting paid for) the 4k stuff is great for friends and family events.
When I look back at it all I think Canon was the first to bring video to a DSLR and if I remember many photographers thought it was a stupid idea. But, now it is the norm. But, If I where to do paid 4K work on a regular basis I would absolutely just go get a Black Magic mini URSA. The downside is I just couldn't imaging traveling Internationally with it which is why I purchased the 5D4.
