As you can see, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5D MIV featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 5D MIV will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 22 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The fresher 5D MIV will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
