Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: Excellent Camera! Expensive, but worth all the $
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a pro photographer that has been using the 20 and 40d. The full frame sensor opened up a new world for my photography and lenses. I am especially impressed with the detail I'm getting out of the shadows in my images. Customer Review: Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this camera. Its easy to use and for those who want to just point and shot you can, Its pretty smart that way but I prefer to set my own white balance. I love this camera! I cant say enough good things about it. The 2 draw backs I have found are the sensor I would like a self cleaning sensor, and the weather proofing could be just a tad better. I am new to the world of big cameras. So maybe I'm being picky, and so far the 2 drops of water I have gotten on the camera haven't hurt it. But it did scare me to death. The EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens I got with the camera is a fantastic lens. I call it my walk around lens It does people, scenery, pets, all of it. I like it, its on the camera 99% of the time.Customer Review: Canon 5D meets expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
I just purchased the Canon 5D, the price finally came down to the point that I could afford, I have been waiting years for this camera, read every review on the Web, I really wanted that full frame sensor.
I also own the Canon 40D which is also an excellent camera as far as frames per second, but has some issues that really bothered me, the biggest was that it did not focus well indoors unless there was plenty of light,considering the cost I expected more.The 40D has many bells and whistles such as live view which I never really used and a solid body that feels and look good.
The first thing I tested with the 5D was its focusing ability in low light, it does a great job focusing fast every time, as a matter of fact I couldn't get it not to focus even in the darkest room, this was very important to me.
The camera body also has a a nice feel in the sense that it will probably be the first DSLR that I will not have to buy the battery grip for, it just feels comfortable in your hands.
It is great to have my lenses actually reflect the focal lenghts as listed in the lens.
The 5D produces noticeablly sharper pictures then any DSLR I have ever owned.
I know that there will probably be a replacement before the end of the year for the 5D but it will probably be too expensive, so anyone wanting a full frame camera should probably buy the 5D now, you won't regret it.

I added the EOS 5D to my Rebel and 30D. What a great addition. So far I had nothing but fun shooting with this camera and the EF 17-40 mm f/4L USM glass. There is a reason this guy here has been shooting with Canon for the last 33 years.Customer Review: Cheap full frame access
Summary: 5 Stars
The price started dropping like a rock ever since Nikon full framers hit mass production and now it's almost down to EOS 20D level. The Canon is simpler to use compared to Nikons. Much less buttons & software wizbang, but as a means of getting a picture onto a full size sensor, they do the same thing.
When scaled down to internet resolutions, the benefit of full size sensors can't be beat. Shots at 1600 ISO are indistinguishable from 100 ISO at internet resolution.
At full resolution, there is more noise in the shadows than there was on the EOS 20D. They have to shrink pixel size even with the larger sensor to sell more to the armchair experts.
