What do you think about Canon EOS 5D? - GoFuckYourself.com

Star 69 · 12-01-2005, 04:47 AM

Guys give me advise! I need to konow about Canon EOS 5D.

canon eos 5d
Who has such camera? Tell me how it to shoot with. Or better not to spend money on such camera and a bit later choose Canon EOS 1Ds Mark 2 Digital? 8000$? Cost to much for me now!
Do I really need "Full frame sensor"?

Originally developed by Canon, this high-resolution, 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor sets the standard for its class, featuring a remarkable 12.8 million effective pixels for a maximum recorded resolution of 4,368 x 2,912 pixels. Second-generation on-chip noise reduction is enhanced for easier use with a choice of two modes: ?Auto?, to engage auto noise reduction when noise is detected; ?ON?, to engage noise reduction for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. From smooth gradations and wide ISO speed range to effective suppression of false colors and ultra-precise white balance, this sensor matches the image quality found in the flagship model of Canon?s EOS digital SLR lineup, EOS-1Ds Mark II. These refinements are the result of sophisticated DIGIC II imaging engine technology.

Thanxx!

Fucking killer. I want 1.

That thing is awesome, how much does it go for?

woj · 12-01-2005, 07:26 AM

here is a review of it: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos5d/
apparently sells for: $3299.00

CMOS? not ccd? I don't know much about cameras but I thought ccd was much better. I have some network cameras, and the ccd ones kick ass compared to the cmos ones.

Brad Gosse · 12-01-2005, 07:41 AM

I have the 20D (8.2mp not full frame sensor) and I love it. I can only imagine how great the 5d is.

Chio,
The CMOS is going to be less sharp than the CCD. Also canon has a pretty aggressive denoising algo. But they still are pretty nice and you can apply good 3rd party photoshop sharpening actions in post to help a bit. If you like the tack sharp fuji/nikon look you may be more interested in the DSLR's they produce. I've been waiting for the full frame Canon 5D so it'll be really nice to finally have this!

I have to ask: do you have any shooting experience? If not, then the 5D or 1DsII could turn out to be a very expensive toy...

Unless you really need the features of the 1DsMII, the 5D is gonna be great.

I have the 1Ds - if I'd had the chance to get the 5D at the time, I would have.

The fact of the matter is - if you're shooting up this end of the scale, and don't need stuff like AI servo and WiFi etc etc, the 5D is going to be perfect.

tony286 · 12-01-2005, 09:29 AM

its a great camera but the big question is what are you shooting for the web or print? If print I think its a strong buy.

I have Canon EOS 20 D too, Canon EOS 350 D. So 5D is good but the best is CANON EOS 1 Ds Mark2. It is cutting edge!

Sure i have shooting experience. I have been shootin for 6 years. I have started from Zenit M 15 its USSR SLR camera than Canon EOS 300 SLR, Canon EOS 30 SLR, Canon A2E (american version of Canon EOS 5 SLR).
Now I have Canon EOS 350 DSLR and Canon EOS 20 Da DSLR. So I know how to shoot!

Canon EOS 1 DS Mark 2. Right choise

Doctor Dre · 12-01-2005, 10:40 AM

Gee I wonder what are the next stepts... I've shot with a 20D and it was just awesome... I don't know how they can make a much better camera.

latinasojourn · 12-01-2005, 10:41 AM

my opinion is it is CURRENTLY the best value in a full frame digital SLR.

in fact, it is probably the camera body that has convinced me to abandon nikon (which does not have a FF body at present).

surperb color and speed for the price.

I need WiFi! AI servo I don't need

Cool.

Re-reading your original msg I think you were asking how well it worked for others, not how to shoot with it.

A 5D is the logical upgrade from the 20D. A 1D series camera has a completely different interface.

You should also consider whether you even need to upgrade.

The 20Da has a softer (or no?) IR filter, right? How does that go with normal daylight photos?
