The 5D is in a class of its own. It's now just over $2000 as of this writing and yet it's FULL FRAME. There is no other FF camera near this price from any other maker. Seriously, if you have $2k to spend on a camera body, full frame is the only way to go for low noise and image quality. But there's something even more special about the 5D... have a look at the photos people take, there's a richness that isn't there for any other camera (short of the over-$6000 Pro Canons). Many times when I see an image that's gorgeous in color, it's the 5D. The only other brand that has the "look" is the Nikon D200, but then you're right back to a puny sensor. Get the 5D, and be prepared to spend for good lenses, don't throw a $149 third-party lens on this amazing camera.

LOVE CANON Iv had the 10D, 20D and now the 5D and its the BEST by far. Iv upgraded with the heavy glass lens and again I will never go back. FULL FRAME is killer!!! You just dont know what you have been missing. GOD BLESS

I recently upgraded from the 350D (which I always liked a lot) - and I have to say: "What a difference"It fits perfectly in my hand (I have the battery pack too), the controls are right at hand, and looking through the viewfinder is so much better than with the old camera. The thumb-wheel is something I really missed on the 350D. I was used to it from the film days and it just feels so good to have it back. Everything is so much easier with this. And then of course the most important thing: Full frame sensor... It's great not having the crop factor anymore - and as mentioned the nice and bright vieewfinder is a blessing. Only downside is that there is a lot more room for dust on the large sensor :) Another great thing: High ISO performance is second to none (or at least second to none among the cameras I've tried) The only reason for not giving it a 5: I could use a higher frame rate now and then - but all in all: It's a great camera...

I adore this camera, having upgraded from the 20D. It is very easy to use, extremely adaptable, and the full-frame sensor is a real boon after years working with the APS-size of the 20D. Only downside is the slow multiple exposures, though that hardly ever affects me.

This camera is amazing and I'm hooked on it's full-frame power and superb imaging. This will probably be my main camera for the foreseeable future and I have not regretted investing in this camera.

I've been using Canon cameras for many years, so adjusting to this body was a sleepwalk. I'm happy with the colors, sharpness, etc. As mentioned elsewhere in these reviews, the larger (than 20D) LCD is great for viewing image details but, as the screen isn't non-reflective, it is impossible to view in broad daylight. The DoF button is much more useful than the 20D as the 5D viewfinder is brighter. Need to be careful with highlight burns, as the sensor pixels are much more sensitive than those in my old 20D. To compensate, I typically shoot 2/3 stop underexposed if the subject is in direct sunlight. If you're moving to a 5D from a body that doesn't shoot full frame, you'll have to readjust your depth of field expectations. In order to get the same image size at a fixed lens focal length, a full frame body will be closer to the subject than a partial frame - being up close means less DoF. If you shoot RAW, get big memory cards, as a RAW image is 12-13 MB.
