To the others who replied -- it's definitely not a picture setting. It's the tone of the screen. It's inaccurately warm compared to my older (circa 2012) 5diii screen. I shot my first wedding with the camera out of necessity. I had thought canon was coming out with a 5d3 replacement sooner, so I converted my 5d2 camera to infrared, but kept an older 60d body as a backup. The 60d was not cutting it as a backup to the caliber of weddings I've been shooting lately, and my 5d3 is just about worn out (needs to be sent in to get shutter replaced, etc).. So I pulled the trigger reluctantly on the 5dsr. I have to say it's underrated as a wedding camera. I shot the whole thing in medium raw, and those 28 or 29 megapixel raws are much more stunning, and sharper than the 5d3 raws. The color is better (on the computer), the autofocus is faster. It snaps it to focus on just about everything right away, and tracks the bridal party coming down the aisle without missing a beat. The metering is also more accurate than the 5d3. Now for the negatives. Today's wedding was about 12 hours, and I went though almost 2 full batteries. On the 5d3, maybe I'd hit a 2nd battery. The warm screen is annoying (but tolerable). If you're in the habit of chimping, the images take an extra beat to appear on the LCD - which blows, especially when you're working fast. I used to shoot film, and I never chimped, but digital got me into that bad habit of checking the screen - even when I know it's right. The good thing is the metering is better on this camera, so you're less likely to make a mistake... anyone else's thoughts on this camera? Like I said, I would have waited for the 5d4, but who knows when it's really coming out... and when they do come out, I'm sure they will be back-ordered forever.
>>yes, i know what you're talking about. you can see that very same warm yellowish color temperature screen in some 5D3's manufactured during the last two years or so as well. i got mine in 2012 and it has a beautiful color correct lcd screen. the same color temperature as the 1dx's screen or a good computer screen. adjusting the correct white balance is very easy using that screen. not so with the yellow screen. i'm real picky about that. i will buy my next camera based on the lcd screen alone.
5D4? maybe.
