Wonderful Camera for both professional and amateurs alike! This is one of the greatest things ever in my opinion for both professional, and amateur photographer. Af least, it was for year 2006.
And I am very happy to tell everyone that many of my current works for magazine are actually using this wonderful camera.
There are several distinct advantage using this camera in the professional environment.
1. They are affordable full size sensor camera. Output quality will meets most of requirement given by the client.

Should be 4 and half stars The 5D is worth it, and then some. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Visually it performs better than anything else I've seen. I'm VERY attached to 35mm and this camera either matches film (beautiful tones; sumptuous shadow detail) or outperforms film by a margin (flexibility, detail, the utter lack of noise at high ISO settings).
I completely disagree with the assertion elsewhere that vignetting is inevitable. I shoot wide open almost all the time because I dislike flash. You'l...

You will love it! It's real. I've been shooting professionally since the 70's and most of my work has been in the still life arena. My personal interests have always been more in the area of portraits, landscapes and street shooting (Cartier-Bresson is one of my icons). View cameras and mid-format were my mainstay until I had to start using digital and I came in early, buying the then new Kodak DCS-560 which was the EOS 1N converted to digital and providing state of the art at that time (6.2 MP), for the humble sum of $25,0...

Transition from Xt to a 5D I first started out in DSLR's with a Canon Xt or 350D for the numerical crowd out there. Then recently upgraded to a Canon 5D.
The usual good-bad review.
First the good.
Resolution is far better than the Xt, obviously. Blowing up photos to poster size is no problem with the 5D. Even cropping at 100% still shows the detail in the photo (Warning: Zooming in at 100% of a photo to test its 'sharpness' is not wise. How many times do you take a developed photo and hold...

Outstanding Performance and Compact Sized Full-Frame SLR Who ever thought that people want cameras with APS, or smaller sized sensors? The lens magnification fact is extremely bothersome, and Digital-only lenses? If you are an avid film shooter, and want to switch to digital, or use a digital camera as a part of your workflow, this is THE camera to get, assuming of course you are willing to make an investment. Canon Double Rebate promotion does not hurt either. This camera has everything you would expect from a professional tool, and more. It has a br...

A Beautiful Compromise I am not on the Canon payroll, and I do not feel the need to carry their flag into battle. I just happen to wear a Canon around my neck a good portion of the time, so it is what I know. I am positive that Nikon, Fuji, Pentax, and Sigma all make fantastic cameras and lenses, each with their own distinct advantages and disadvantages. I can only relay my own experiences though, and all of them have been with Canon equipment.
I have owned the Canon 5D for two years now, and I will be the...

My New Best Friend I researched a number of digital slr cameras recently, and evaluated a number of factors before taking the plunge and going with a system. I looked at Nikon and Canon seriously, and thought about:
1. full-frame v.s. crop sensor
2. build quality
3. pixel size
4. cost-benefit ratio
5. lens availability
When I purchased the Canon 5D it was the only full-frame sensor at a reasonable price point. It still is! The Nikon full-frame 12 megapixel is astronomical...

It's 5/5 stars for sure; but it is complicated. Both my review and this camera are complicated, actually. If you are an intermediate or semi-pro photographer as I was when I bought this, you will be in for a rude surprise. This camera makes the 40D seem like a point and shoot.
Now, when I say that I don't mean it in terms of image quality. I mean in terms of operation. On every cropped-sensor Canon DSLR that I have used, the fully automatic mode will do for 90% of shooting situations. On the 5D, the fully auto mode will work about ...

A Nikon convert It was hard (and expensive) to go from Nikon to Canon, but worth it. I always felt my Nikon could be sharper. I went to Canon for the Lenses and I'm not disappointed, nor will you be. The D5 with the 24-105 L series lens is a beautiful setup, extremely versatile. This is not a compromise camera. Is it perfect, no, but a very, very good camera and lens.
Mainly I use this camera for photographing artwork. I use strobes, and sometimes available light or the 580ex flash. So the len...

You've read the reviews, now buy this thing. Like most of the folks that are reading this review I tend to do a fair amount of research before making a purchase, any purchase. Well four years ago I picked up the original Canon 300D Digital Rebel. It was a great camera to learn with and I still enjoy looking back at my progress over the years.
If you read any forums or discussions on photography web sites you will no doubt find that most experienced photog's will tell you to spend your money on glass before the camera itself. ...
