...fraction bigger than the true Canon battery and it got stuck fast in the 5D - so much so that I had to prise it out with a screwdriver! Use only Canon batteries in the 5D!
Lens magnification - The big sell for me on the 5D was the 1:1 35mm sensor size. I own a 17-40mm f4 L and a 28-135mm IS lens. Luckily, I never bought any EF-S lenses for the 20D. You can't use EF-S lenses on the 5D so if you've got a 20D or a 30D - don't buy any EF-S lenses if ... ...3.1 as with the other Canon bodies but if you are using an ultra-wide lens, beware - the software cannot cope with images captured at 20mm or wider. It's not directly possible to fool the software either as the effective focal length is embedded in the image and the software reads it and refuses to stitch images that are too wide. Of course, when I used the 17mm lens on a 20D, the minimum effective focal length saved in the files was 27.2mm so it ...

Quick review of Canon EOS 5D Review ofCanon EOS 5Dby
79stuart
Lovely camera. Great with 1:1 sensor. You use all your old canon lenses and they work as they should.
The pictures generated are great. Like taking film again for me. Full of life, not too sharp and not over saturated.
Body strong and not too heavy and if you can source from Hong Kong seller via Ebay - not that much. (£1200).
First sensibly priced full frame sensor D slr. Shouldn't be out-of-date in a hurry.

Advantages: Superb handling 1st class quality pictures. Real feel good factors Disadvantages: bit heavy compared to other lightweight DSLR and a bit more complicated
Got this for my Christmas self pressie as an upgrade from 350D. Probably not 4 times as good (comparing price to price) but so much better nevertheless. Seemed a better upgrade than going to 20D or 30D. More complicated to set up and use but thats half the fun of photography for an amateur like me. I just love gadgets and playing - great!! If you take in RAW then everything can be improved after all. I am still learning on this camera
The picture ... ...colours are sharp and crisp
The full frame is more than a bonus. With a wide angle lens you can almost see behind you!! On my old 350D I had to deliberately move the camera down so as not to cut off the top of the subjects heads. Now I have to move it up so as not to have too much clear space above the subject! Perhaps the only complaint is that with some pictures regardless of which lens I use at the extremes of the focal length top and bottom ...

The Canon EOS 5D is an excellent full frame (12.8 Mega pixels CMOS sensor) digital SLR that delivers excellent image quality. It has been the first affordable full frame DSLR with 1.0 multiplication factor. It is good for low light condition since it could provides surprisingly low noise image even at high ISO settings. With the 5D, very fine details can be captured. Beside, it is also very convenient to hold since it has a smaller body when compared ...
