5 out of 5 stars Love this Camera!   May 18, 2008
John H. Copeland (Las Vegas NV USA)

This is a great camera. I recently upgraded from a 20D that I also loved... but after one day shooting with the 5D and then looking at the results, the 20D will only be used in case of an emergency, or for B roll types of stuff. I'm a long time pro photog from back in the days of film, and I don't miss those days at all. Today's young photographers don't realize how great they have it with equipment available like this.



4 out of 5 stars great price, small package for a full frame DSLR   May 17, 2008
Deen-Low (Los Angeles, CA)
I had the pleasure of testing out my uncle's Canon 5D DSLR. Its a little larger and heavier than my 40D, but it is by no means unmanageable. His camera came with the 24-105 f/4 L IS USM kit lens and it made me fall instantly in love with the sharpness and smooth zoom/focus rings. So much so, that I bought the 24-105 f/4 L lens for myself.

The 5D is now a few years old, and it was a great camera for its time. While I was super impressed with the features it had, I am holding off on getting this camera only because there has been so much rumors and speculations about the 5D Mark II replacement that is estimated to be released later this year.

This camera was ahead of its time back in 2005. Even today with improvements in processing, new equipement, etc., this camera is consistent, sturdy and has excellent image quality from 100 - 800 ISO. Net it out - other cameras provide additional bells & whistles but they've really only caught up or slightly pushed past the image quality of this camera in 2008. Here are my decisions for purchasing this camera: image quality, big viewfinder, fully utilize my wide lens, consistency in output and control. This camera is a best buy at the current price!

Amazon had the cheapest price (at the time) and the camera is everything I expected and more. I upgraded from a Rebel XT. At the same time I bought two new L-series lenses - well worth the money. I'm still learning all of the features this camera offers. The low-light shots are amazing - the speed is great. I'm a semi-pro photographer and am extremely happy with my purchase - even knowing that any day now Canon is going to roll out the upgrade.


4 out of 5 stars Like it, but too pricey right Now   May 3, 2008

My first and still digital camera was the Canon 10D, 6.1MP. I have taken that from Alaska to Alabama and loved it. If I was to add an addition to the family it would be the 5D. Not only is it quiet, streamlined and efficient, the screen is picture perfect large and clear.

As for now though, the 5D is on hold and the 10D reigns supreme. CP
