Advantages: Full frame sensor, very high resolution, excellent operation Disadvantages: Costs double the price of a 30D, hidden extra costs
...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 ...

Just wow. What a camera.
I bought this a year ago as an upgrade to my previous entry level 350D. I had started getting paid for my photography and so decided that I needed something more reliable to take me across that daunting gap between amateur and professional.
This was really the cheapest option available to me, I grabbed a bargain at just over £1000 for just the body only. What a step up it was from my previous camera.
The images just scream ... ...you can shoot true 35mm wide angle, but also means that the interference from nearby light receptors on the sensor is far less instrusive than on lower grade cameras with smaller sensors. There is less CA when compared like for like with the 350D and the same lenses.
For shooting stock, this camera is great. The exceptional quality at lowish ISO's means that images can be interpolated up with east to suit the needs of most modern photolibraries.

Advantages: full frame Disadvantages: new cameras have better features
i have a canon 5d and has 12.8 mp full frame cmos sensor,9 points af, digic 2 processor, records raw/jpegs, compact magnesium alloy body etc.
If you don't know the difference between full frame and cropped frame is that the full frame standard size is 35mm the cropped frame can range from sizes but smaller than 35mm.
Obviously there new cameras that have new feature but if you want the cheapest camera that has good pro quality and also light and ...

Quick review of Canon EOS 5D
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 ...

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, full frame sensor at affordable price, and low noise even at high ISO settings Disadvantages: None
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 ...
