My Canon 5D died today. - GoFuckYourself.com

AaronM · 10-02-2008, 06:12 PM

I've easily put 700,000 images through it and I think it's rated for about 150k so I'm not surprised. I knew it was starting to wear down a bit but was hoping it would last until the 5D Mark II comes out. Thank God for back up camera bodies.

What really sucks is that I am used to shooting with a full frame camera and now I have to re-adapt to the 20, 30, or 40D for two weeks until Canon gets the 5D repaired.

Poor me.

RIP Canon 5D

BVF · 10-02-2008, 06:55 PM

I wish my old JVC digital cam would crap out so I would have an excuse to buy a new one.....However, It's been going strong for over 8 years.

brand0n · 10-02-2008, 06:58 PM

you got an old 20 laying around you wanna sell me by any chance?

EscortBiz · 10-02-2008, 06:59 PM

you take pretty good pics with your iphone why not use that for now?

brassmonkey · 10-02-2008, 07:01 PM

sorry to here that R.I.P 5D

PersianKitty · 10-02-2008, 07:02 PM

Geee.. and it's not like you *really* use it much..hehe

I just bought myself a new kick around compact digital camera (okay.. all I shoot are pics of the grandbaby). I got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5... Looked at a few SLRs but.. I'm no pro ;)

Elli · 10-02-2008, 07:10 PM

Aww.. sorry to hear about your camera, Aaron! It sounds like it's been quite a workhorse!

stickyfingerz · 10-02-2008, 07:11 PM

We had to send our 1d in a few months back. It was way over the 150k mark too. Shutter finally gave out.

stevo · 10-02-2008, 07:17 PM

Didn't the 50d just come out? I'm either going for that or the 5d

Not enough memory for a full day of shooting.

50D is supposed to hit the stores this month. It's cool and all but it's not a full frame camera. The 5D Mark II comes out in November and I'll most likely pre-order one then use the 5D as my backup.

It's similar to comparing 35mm to medium format. They don't compare at all.

A 5D with a full frame gives you much shallower DOF, whereas the 50D gives you all the same functions - but with a 1.6 multiplier effect. This essentially gives you less freedom when it comes to making your stuff look really damn good. It makes your 35mm lens equivalent to a 50mm, and a 24mm lens equivalent to a 35mm, etc.

Also, the larger sensor on the 5D gives you larger pixels making for a higher quality image as well.

The one benefit to going with the 50D is the gapless pixel sensor. I believe that will give a bit of a cleaner image.

I bet you have the best roi on a 5D of anyone in the world.

SilentKnight · 10-02-2008, 08:35 PM

Despite our mutual dislike - I have to sympathise whenever a primary camera is down for repairs.

I hate having to re-adapt shooting techniques even for short terms.

Just because you were a dick in the past does not mean that I dislike you now.

Like shooting 20+MP is going to make any difference in the actual production?

Shooting is shooting. WTF do I care what the file size is?

Last I checked, I do more than Internet content too.

That's ok - despite being a welsher...I've come to tolerate your presence as well.

Akin to how Sarah Palin tolerates the gay community.

Hehe, somethin' like that.

My latest technique is shoot a dozen frames with the 'ole e10 - then grab the d80 and shoot a few dozen more while the e10 is writing.
