Love my 5d mkIV. Paired with two zooms (16-35 IS L and 70-200 L) plus zeiss 50 1.4 lovee it as I can share lenses between it and the RED which I use for video as i can't stand hybrids with their convoluted mess of manus and codecs. Raw straight to A Big fat SD card on my 5dmk4. I'm not a fan of the sterile and busy bokeh of the RF and R series combinations.

Dude, it's scary similar your story/problems you have as me. I also bought it (second-hand) around 2020 and I loved using it non-stop until a month ago. Mine's the same case: the focus mode is stuck in AF-C and the battery swap reset. I appreciate the alternatives, but the battery thing is a dealbreaker for me. I used to spend almost all day taking pictures and so the battery swap is necessary for me and this problem just kills me. I think I might have to put it on a shelve and let it dust since selling it might be dishonest to a future buyer and I don't a fujifilm repair center nearby. Hope you get yours fixed soon

You are far more patient than I was. I got my X100F used (only about 800 shots on it, I think) in 2018 and the viewfinder screen stopped popping up about a year later. I don't remember if I had problems with the AF system, but i wouldn't be surprised if I did. I called Fujifilm US and they told me it would cost about $600 to fix because they needed to replace the lens assembly. So, I got it back a couple weeks later with a new lens (which means new shutter, with shutter count 0) and had no problems thereafter. I kept it until I got my X100VI maybe 25K-30K shots later. Honestly, I kind of miss the F because it's built like a tank in comparison with the VI. All things considered, if I were you, I'd repair it and keep it.

You mention the Compact Flash card as a "quirk" when it ALSO has an SD card, thereby allowing you to pick your favorite format, use any existing older cards you might have in either format, AND most importantly, write to both cards at the same time providing you with ON THE SPOT backup as you shoot? I stopped watching your review the second I realized you were uninterested in being informative, but rather wanted to say what fit your own narrative. The fact that it has two slots for BOTH major card formats isn't a quirk. It's INCREDIBLY BENEFICIAL, as any professional photographer will almost inevitably discover at some point in their careers.
@SpencerLupul2 ай бұрын
@@marksinger5954 let’s get into this. to start, a quirk isn’t something bad. dual recording is indeed very important. All the cameras I compared it to also have dual card slots and dual recording capabilities. EXCEPT for video 😲this is one area where canon is very much behind other brands. Even so, the only people who benefit from CF compatibility are those who have had older, likely canon, cameras with CF cards. Since SD is so ubiquitous and offers super fast standards nowadays (which BTW the 5D4 doesn’t support 🙄), I see no good reason for it to be here, other than to ease a transition. This camera is obviously intended for photographers who don’t want to switch to mirrorless, and if that’s you, congratulations, canon has crippled your new camera. Anyway thanks for the feedback and I’ll remember next time to mention absolutely every last detail known to man 😉

Useless video. Was not even mentioned the built-in GPS. The 5D4 is the most versatile of the canon digital cameras with optical viewer. It has a nikon-like auto ISO and manual mode, what other 5D-s don't have and it has more resolution than the 1D series. I bought it over the R7 because of the optical viewer and my collection of EF L lenses.

If GPS, auto ISO, and resolution are all important to you, your options are limited with Canon, and I would look elsewhere. Also why I don’t recommend collecting a lot of EF glass before making this evaluation, because cost of switching is quite high. I am in this exact boat with you 👍🏼

How strange to post a video about the X100V when it seems you don't have one and the video features an X100F. All X100 cameras are not equal and the X100V has many important new and improved features, including a new, sharper lens, a tilting screen, improved autofocus and more. You use the term X100 and X100V interchangeably which is odd since the original X100 was introduced 12 years ago and was followed by the X100S, X100T and X100F.

Update: I use for 1080 edit (4k capable, just tad slower) w/ R9-M370X on the i7-4980HQ 2.8GHz to external Cinema Display. ! or 2, it can only run AMD GOU so it will get warm so changing the thermal paste helped. Artic Silver No5 is awesome. It's so easy on this model as the GPU & CPU heatsink is right there as you remove bottom. Bing bang done. Or "Bob's your uncle" as Nan wold say.If you realy wanted 4k edit power for half the cost & don't need to be mobile w/ it, old Mac Pro single hex core is good w/ AMD R9-580X 8g, w/ room to change out for 12 core later. It's Westmiere EP low TDP so 1 gen older then in this but high end Xeon. I use my late 2012 Mac Pro 5,1 dual Xeon X5675's for exactly that workload when I need it.
