Pros: Best sensor ever, real files already ready, cost of used.

Cons: Considering the years none.

Opinion: If you are looking for a fantasist machine this Canon 5D represents everything you look for in a photograph, and talking about real photography... I think that to date this is the only one that comes as close as possible to the film, 12.7 megapixels are perfect for a fullframe sensor, you manage to capture a full detail and sharpness in depth, true colors recovery shadows perfect, obvious even the optics does its part if you mount decent optics the quality of the photo you see and not necless of too much PP. , it's very reminiscent of the film. If you want to do without so many things that today you will find on modern wifi machines, touch etc this is the perfect machine... Then guys in my opinion we forgot what is photography getting carried away by technoligia and having something always at the top. This and my second 5D body (the first one stole it from me) I have tried so many but what this 5D transmits to me I have not found from any other machine. The cons?? Well for me none, let's say slow burst but if you do not use and useless to have a mega burst, low resolution monitor to have no idea about exposure is more than good the files are definitely noticed when they are put on pc. Do I recommend this car? Absolutely.

Pros: cost, file quality, robustness

Cons: dated af, noise over 800 iso, display as if there were no

Opinion: ok the cons, but if you take a 5D you certainly do not do it to make birdlife or street after sunset. When I open the raws in ACR I often am amazed... I bought it for 1 year to have a low-cost FF for the holi festival in India without having to risk the 5d4. well it came back full of colored powder but it was enough a clean DIY and survived great. I looked at the shots and I have to say that it surprised me a lot so much that I took it with me also to Bolivia this year. and I was not disappointed at all the files have a sharpness that the 5d4 you dream of. definitely for the different AA filter, but on certain occasions I even prefer them. according to my experience how value for money is unbeatable

Pros: Robust, controls, central MAF point, ISO expansion, price used.

Cons: Display, AF, ISO (H), and External MAF Points.

Opinion: I have owned it for about a year, I have to say that I feel great, I only shoot with the 50mm, the machine, when you take it in your hand from a feeling of unique robustness, the screen and unusable, it pains in everything, but for the age that has there can fit, you can use it only and exclusively to control the composition of the photo. The AF occasionally barrels the focus only in low light conditions, as long as you use the center point, focus and recompose the image, the central points are useless. Colors are something exceptional. As for the iso sensitivity, up to 1600 are very workable, from iso 640 onwards, you notice a little noise in the shadows, but nothing that, does not even need correction, from iso 800 onwards you start to notice a little more, but you can remove it quietly up to 1600, obviously losing in the shadows, to iso 3200 (H) the noise is very noticeable and annoying and not always manage to remove, but in order not to lose the moment, I personally give away the noise, a small notice that I do, when I use the expansion, is to overexpiver slightly. My overall rating and 9/10, for the cost that has today you can absolutely appear, take home a FullFrame at about 150 euros and great especially with 50mm. To me the lack of sensitivity' iso high is not lacking for the simple fact that compensation with external lights and/or flash.

Pros: Colors, robustness, full-bodied files and simplicity.

Cons: Display, iso

Opinion: I just snapped. I bought it used with a canon lens of 50mm at 170 euros. First Reflex but with supervision of friends who have been photographing for a long time. I am learning and to do so I read various comments on this forum. I found it correct to read that the display often after the shot is better not to look at it. But if you're on it, you adjust and you know that what you see on the display then on the PC makes it or not. I'm trying to shoot and learn to shoot everything and only in manual. Something discreet came out. I have a lot to learn but I think I'm on the right track. I try to take a thoughtful picture and this body seems to be right for me. Then in the future maybe I'll change. I understand who appreciates the metallic sound... Nice... satisfying. Maybe you get a buck. but at least the sound is cool...!!!

Pros: Spectacular files, complexion, characteristic grain, colors, unique character, meditabonda.

Cons: DATED AF, pitiful display, ISO max 1600

Opinion: Purchased for less than 250 euros, maniacally held in impeccable conditions, I re-discovered this old lady who, used with criterion, can give unique satisfactions. I use it exclusively with the Canon 50mm f/1.4 is To say that I am very satisfied. I recommend it to fans of reasoned photography, but also to those who want to learn
