Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: 3yrs old and competes with latest & greatest cameras
Summary: 5 Stars
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!Customer Review: Amazing camera
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Customer Review: Like it, but too pricey right Now

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
Customer Review: Amazing!

This camera is everything I thought it would be and MORE! I took it to Disneyland the week I bought it and took some pictures of the firework show and they turned out perfect! I upgraded from a Canon Powershot S2 IS, and while that's a great camera to learn on, the 5D allows you to I completely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a more professional camera that will allow them to use their full range of camera skills. I love love love this camera!Customer Review: Just buy it
Summary: 5 Stars
Buying this camera involved me changing my bank and walking 5 miles in a snowstorm to transfer cash from one account to another. Why do you need to know this? Because this camera is worth it!
This is a VERY serious camera and, if you put in the effort, it will reward you.
There are a couple of caveats though. It is a big beast and if, like me, you have the extra battery pack it makes it very heavy although it does improve the handling. Also, the supplied lens has a 77mm front element so be prepared to pay nearly $300 for a polarizing filter.
Do you need this camera? Well, if you're asking my advice, probably not. Do you want this camera - oh yes indeed!
