You will throughly enjoy this camera and the grip. The 5DMKIV is my favorite of my four Canon cameras. Now, if you don't have them already, start a collection of L-Series lenses suitable to what you shoot. The L-Series lenses are what really bring that camera to life! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine! Merry Christmas!!!

Hi Basil:
I was just like you. I have been looking at the 5D IV for the last 3 years. I have 7D II now. When I saw the deal BH offered I couldn't resist and went for it and ordered one. Now reading all the positive feed backs from so many I am encouraged. Mine should be arriving in a day.

You just bought a great camera that, coupled with your existing lenses, will give you many years of happy shooting. Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

While Adorama has it at that price, take a look at B&H bundles, and the PayBoo card. The card allows you to buy the camera and B&H pays the state sales tax out of the selling price for the camera. There are several bundles to choose from.

It's "only" 30MP - not the 45 MP monster like you have. But it's a definite move up in MP (not that that's the only thing that matters) from my 20MP 6D. I'm most anxious to see how it does in Low Light and what the Dynamic Range is like.
Yep, it's definitely a "monster". Especially coming from a 10.2 MP D200. An eye opener, certainly. And yes, MP isn't the only thing that matters.Dec 23, 2019 12:07:40 #
Congrats! What better way to enter a new decade than with your dream camera to accompany you!

Which well known store are you talking about?
Oh! Never mind. I see that you said BH. Good choice going with them.

My first camera was a Canon AE-1. Had my own B&W developer and a color processor. Still have and use the camera although my darkroom is long gone. Next, I purchased a PowerShot S80 for my pocket on motorcycle trips. Love that little camera-takes great pictures-and does all the stuff the big cameras do. Then I decided to really bite the digital bullet and bought the Canon 50D. Was a great intro to digital and I still use it. Then I had a GAS attack and B&H had a deal. So I bought the 5D Mk IV. I really like it but as with all new things-it takes some getting used to. Looking forward to seeing your pictures Basil

Oh Great, Thanks very much JohnH3.
You have now given me even more GAS needs/wants.
More $$$

Congratulations! I had most recently gone from a used 60D to a hi-click 5DMIII. A Mike's Camera tent sale lured me in, and I fell for the pitch on the EOS R. Had I waited for this kind of price drop on the MIV, that would have been my choice, though I don't dislike the R. I was just getting acquainted with the 5D, and I think I would have liked to stick with the next version.
Yes, all my lenses EF lenses work fine with the R and its adaptor, but the routine of mounting it first on the lens, then lens and adaptor to camera is a pain in the a$$. I don't know why it can't be left on the camera to switch from one lens to another, but what do I know?
Anyway, enjoy that 5DM3! Excellent choice!

Congratulations! Don't feel a bit guilty, you did your part to keep the economy going. :D
Considering it was north of $3 grand when it first came out, I'm feeling pretty proud of my restraint in waiting over two years for a deal like this. Of course in a few months this probably won't seem like such a great deal, but I think I'm ok with that.
