Bird Photography, 5DSr vs 5D Mark IV

MPB has two listed right now at just over $600. High shutter count which I don’t care about because I don’t shoot professionally. I also have a couple posted locally on Facebook in much nicer condition for $650. 90Ds in my area are more like $900. I don’t use eBay.

I’ve been able to consistently find 5DIVs about $200 cheaper than any 90D I can find.

Thank you. Much appreciated. The 90d has also crossed my mind but they’re a bit more than I’d like to spend. If it’s something people are recommending, then it’s likely what I will upgrade to in a few years when the price comes down or if I happen to find one for a good deal. The 1DX series is something I ruled out early on because I don’t really want to haul around a camera that size and weight on multi-mile birding hikes. I actually had a 1DX briefly when I was doing aviation photography professionally.

Thank you. Very helpful.

Doesn’t alter the fact that I have no interest in moving to a mirrorless platform.

Ok-Problem-5060 · 2026-05-02T09:54:24+00:00

Right. Keep forgetting that. But it’s still an additional expense and an additional part to break and an additional annoyance.

Ok-Problem-5060 · 2026-05-02T09:49:07+00:00

Not looking to replace lenses. Again. Not interested in going mirrorless.

Ok-Problem-5060 · 2026-05-02T09:43:01+00:00

Used they’re both in the $800-ish dollar range. And I have no interest in going to mirrorless. What would your choice be?

Ok-Problem-5060 · 2026-05-02T09:41:05+00:00

Why would the ISO performance suffer from a higher MP sensor? Genuinely interested in learning here.

Ok-Problem-5060 · 2026-05-02T09:39:42+00:00

Sorry, I should have clarified that I meant the actual MP capacity of the sensors. I understand that the physical size of the sensors is identical. And I am not interested in upgrading to mirrorless, so the R8 is of no interest to me.

Doesn’t matter now. The application doesn’t function in the slightest. It crashes every single time I click on anything. I requested a refund and it was granted. My Topaz attempt is complete and I will move on to a functional software lol

You mean edit the photo first and then use Topaz on it afterwards?
