Chronology
ReplacedCanon EOS 5D Mark III[1]
SuccessorCanon EOS R5

Succeeding the EOS 5D Mark III, it was announced on 25 August 2016. The Mark IV went on sale in September 2016 with a retail price of $3,499 in the US, £3,599 in the UK, and €4,129 in the Eurozone. Since then, Canon did not sell another DSLR of this kind. Effectively, the EOS R5 mirrorless camera can be regarded as the successor in this market segment.

The 5D Mark IV is offered as a body only or in a package with an EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM zoom lens or an EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM zoom lens; at introduction, the suggested retail price was $3,499, with 24-105 f/4L IS II kit $4,599, and with 24-70 f/4L IS kit $4,399.
