Canon 5D Pros: Cost, unique color rendering, comfortable body (not very light), modestly fast AF (for a now dated camera) Cons: No automatic sensor cleaning, original battery nowhere to be found, capricious software Opinion: I had spotted it, I chose the Sony a6100 instead, resold, and I took it... I don't need it to work, but you can see the difference. Maybe it's because you can feel the difference with a full frame, maybe it's because I combined it with a Canon f1.8 STM, but the results are damn satisfactory. Enough has already been said, I won't repeat myself, but I want to follow the fact that the lack of live view requires you to think before shooting and I really agree when we talk about it as a digital evolution of an analog one, the screen is there but it has a too low resolution, you can understand when you clip and when it is remarkably dark, but I missed some shots because I assumed it wasn't blurry, for the rest rely on the histogram, or if you trust MagicLantern to make up for a few years of backwardness (be careful, it remained a beta since 2012 unlike the later models that received an update in 2025). There are some limits for these Canons, to update the firmware it is almost necessary to have an OEM battery, to me it gave me some problems like that it was always at a minimum, just remove the backup battery, wait a while and reinsert it. It gets by, I think it's the best way to describe it in the current context, a Mark II could come close to today's needs, but the chromatic characteristic, I was about to tell you the "timbre" for my deformation, is unique, for landscapes it will be its anti aliasing, it's fantastic, then it is according to your preferences. Unfortunately in some shots I noticed that it suffers from banding, at least mine, small strange grids that you could get around by setting AdobeRGB instead of sRGB but it should only apply to JPEGs, on the latter I had the opportunity to have fun trying some simulation of B/W film on DxO Filmpack, the rendering is unexpectedly gorgeous, and I forgot, it has a particular grain ... It's strange to think that he is my age. sent on 01 Marzo 2026 |
