 5D IS EVERYTHING ITS CRACKED UP TO BE! December 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I came from the EOS 40D which is a GREAT camera, but I have to say the 5D is amazing. Even at ISO 1000 or long exposures there is very little if any noise in my photos. I didn't realize how nice having a full-frame sensor would be, and am loving the true wide-angles I can get now. My 50MM lens has gone from a novelty to a true walkabout lens. I've since sold the two ef-s lenses I had and my 40D. You can't beat the price now either since the MK II is coming out. Got it for half the original price!
 Wedding Photographer's dream... November 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a pro wedding photographer. I've had a pair of these since 2006 and could not be happier. I did quite a bit of research, not just online, but in the field. I rented various models of pro offerings from Canon and Nikon. I attended "rep" days at my local camera store so I could grill the Nikon and Canon reps for answers to the questions that were not covered in the marketing materials or online reviews. I wanted a professional camera set up, but ended up with the pro-sumer 5D from Canon. Here are the factors that finally made my decision;
1)Performance:
It must possess a fast enough ISO to capture clean low light images.
It must have enough processor mettle to keep up with fast paced shooting. Any processor lag is not acceptable.
It must produce file quality and size that delivers professional quality images to my clients.
It must be durable enough to withstand the inherent bumps, dust and inclement weather I encounter during the course of a wedding.
It must work perfectly with professional quality lenses, flashes and batteries.
2)Size/Weight
I have small hands and not a huge amount of forearm strength. I needed an ergonomic set-up that I could carry continuously for 8-10 hours without needing to take up a special exercise routine that would give me Pop-eye arms.
Granted, there were "better" cameras, but they were weighed down with additional features that I didn't want or need. I needed a lighter camera with standard and well placed controls that I can change and adapt from moment to moment without needing to scroll through lots of options. My biggest complaint about the 5D was the lack of weather seals and dust management, but these issues turned out to be minor. I don't change lenses that often and I clean the sensors before every job. This has kept the dust to a minimum.
Overall, I have been very satisfied with the 5D and would not hesitate to recommend it to sports and wedding photographers. It is a fast and lightweight camera that produces nice large image files.
I own 2 of these! November 29, 2008
I cannot say enough how amazing this camera is. It is so great I had to buy another for a backup because after using it the 20D or 30D just didn't cut it.
The colors straight from camera (if you shoot jpg) are awesome! A little tweak in lightroom to make them look just right and my editing time has been cut in half!
I do shoot in a custom mode with no in camera sharpening and a tad of extra contrast.
Great in low light, good color, love the full frame sensor, easy to use as far as the menu....just good. :)
Will Always Be a Great Camera November 17, 2008

Regardless of where technology takes photography in the next 5/10 years, this will always be a great camera. I have a feeling it will be one of those 'classics' that some people will carry around forever.
 Seller changed mind October 9, 2008

I cannot rate this product simply because the seller pulled the item and even though he refunded my money promptly I missed out on the sell after he reposted it. He said he didn't have all the pieces or accessories together and had to pull the camera. Shouldn't that have been done before he posted the camera for sale in the first place??
Not only was there not enough information on the camera and I had to continually email the seller. But then I didn't recieve the emails in a timely manner to inform me that he had reposted the item.
Very disappointed.
