TOTAL USER RATINGS: 4

5D image quality is the equal of any 35mm digital camera out there

PROS: Full fram sensor, low noise, compact, pro-level features for "prosumer" price

CONS: Lack of weather sealing, doesn't have 1-series AF ability, default image settings produce a slightly soft picture

If you want full frame, and cant spend a ton, this camera is TOPS!

PROS: Full Frame Sensor! Excellent build quality. Light body. Great picture quality

CONS: Not weather-proof, some controls not intuitive, ISO not shown all the time

I wrestled with the decision for months: Nikon D200 or Canon 5D. Canon it was and I don't regret it!

PROS: Image quality, weight, AF speed and accuracy, fast write to cache, ISO flexibility and low noise, controls, full size chip, Canon lenses

CONS: Limited user programmable options, mirror lock up buried, useless direct print button, no built in flash for fill (because of larger chip), only 3fps

It's bringing pro features within the reach of enthusiasts

Submitted by Batford on 3/5/2006 4:08:04 AM

PROS: Full size 35mm sensor, 12.8Mp and a huge range of useable lenses available

CONS: If you want to use a pro camera body you will have to pay for a very good lens and a good flashgun
