Two of the best and well-known semi pro cameras today are the Nikon D810 and the Canon 5D Mark IV. With this short but sweet comparison, consumers will get to see the key features of both cameras to justify the price difference.

To make it easy for consumers looking to upgrade or even get either of these two cameras, we'll tackle the main and glaring differences between the two that will help people decide which one to get.

Sensor And Imaging Features

In terms of full-frame sensor sizes, the Nikon D810 has a slightly bigger advantage due to its 36 megapixel sensor as compared to Canon 5D Mark IV's 30 megapixel. This doesn't always mean better image quality, though this still provides flexible creative freedom for the users.

It is also worth noting that the Nikon D810 doesn't have an Anti-Aliasing filter. For the uninformed, this pretty much means sharper images as the filter's purpose is to actually get rid of jagged edges. Sometimes this hurts the image's quality in uncontrollable manner so for those looking to have complete control with the shots should prefer a no anti-aliasing feature.

Additional Features

Canon 5D Mark IV, however, has a faster burst shot capability of 7 frames per second, making it possible to capture more shots than Nikon D810's 5 fps. Still, this isn't a deal breaker as both of them are still under the same category of average burst shot speeds.

The Canon 5D Mark IV, however has some nice features like Touch Screen, Built-In wireless connection, twice the maximum ISO of 102,400, slightly more focus points and higher LCD screen resolution. The 5D Mark IV feels a bit more professional to say at least.

Price

This is where DSLRs' values are usually regarded. The Nikon D810 is available at Amazon for $2,496.96. This is somewhat more affordable compared to the Canon 5D Mark IV, which is priced at $3,499.99.

With the price difference, the features that people would get are touchscreen, higher iso, slightly faster burst shot and slightly higher LCD resolution.

Both cameras are great performers, but with the usual workflow or post processing, consumers are better off with the Nikon D810, provided that they know which software bring out the best in most photos. Otherwise, the Canon 5D Mark IV produces great results out of the box.
