People with complain because they did spend a good amount on a system. And they want that system to do well mainly because we are somewhat trapped. And Canon system has been lacking behind pretty much everyone. Sensor performance getting beat in every dimension by every other brand. Think only Canon and Pentax don't have 4k on their APSC/cropped sensor range cameras. Exclude Pentax and they are the last ones to do 4K on the cropped sensors!
Fujifilm now has xt2
m43s has plenty of 4k cameras
Sony has a6300
The killed off system Samsung had NX1
Even Nikon has D500
Doesn't that make us feel great to be so invested in the Canon system! Well money spent! To be the last!
Yeah, we are still in a 1080p era so no hurry or must for 4K. But who likes being last? If it wasn't for metabones I might have completely lost confidence and stopped buying more EF mount lenses. Basically, I just want to be confident in the system I am investing in.
And so yeah Canon 5d4 has 4k and the initial reviews about its video are not great. Just have to wait and see more people get their hands on it and hear how they feel about it overall. It might be a good workhorse like the Canon 7d2, criticised to death by so many for having no 4k (I'll admit I was one of them),
but to the users its a very good camera.that's what that matters imo, but then 7D II is basically a sports/ wildlife camera so 4k or not it doesn't matter so much.
One good thing about the 5D IV is that Canon seems to have improved the DR by quite a big margin based on what I saw on DPR, almost as good as A7R II although still losing to D810. That alone would still keep a lot of photographers staying in the Canon system. As for the video crowds, well Im not a video guy so I cant really suggest anything.
It is still a very fine photographer camera but people seems to ignore that just to bash on the lack of video capability, which I feel its unfair for the camera.
