Opinion:OK is a machine that has its age, however: when the light is not lacking, at 100 iso churns out creamy files, of an enviable sharpness even to current super bodies. Obviously it is not a fast machine, the iso over 1,600 are quite noisy, you can not expect those recoveries of the shadows that today are allowed or af a lightning. Basically you have to know how to expose correctly, it is not equipped with particular automations. It's like having an old reflex that has the sensor instead of the camera roll. Set iso, priority of diaphragm / times or all in manual and jerks.
Pros:Canon commands. Sound of the metal shutter, it sounds better than a violin. Beautiful file for color. Perfect grain for black and white.
Cons:Lack of af-ON key. protection. Not recommended for novice photographers.
Opinion:Whoever picks up this car needs to know he's in his good age. So no files with extreme GD, no ultrabrilliant screen, no liveview, no video, no 500-point AF sensors and more points. In good light conditions, the final file does not make more modern machines like 5D MKIII and 6D regret. Obviously with little light the limit to the high ISO is felt. Even in high contrast situations you won't have much chance. But when you press the button, the shutter noise is something that makes the courts of the soul vibrate to all photography enthusiasts who appreciate these things (so the deaf mirrorlessians might not understand). The lack of the AF-ON is something overcomeable (after years of use, missing a button is hard). The machine screen is virtually unusable, especially in broad daylight. If you use it to take pictures of friends and family, do not show the preview, because with the idea of today's smartphones, they will look at you how to say, what is this crap. The screen is small, very flat colors, very little contrast. I don't recommend it to first-time photographers, who might think that a fullframe is the solution to all their ills. The risk of having in your hand a great car but with the idea of having made a cabbage to buy it because you do not realize the potential For those who already chew photography is the ideal body to experience something different as long as you use it knowing the flaws and don't try in post-production to do what you do today (often exaggerating and wrong).
Pros:Price, color yield, ease of use, materials, is full frame
Cons:held to high iso, difficulty finding spare parts, poor screen, no live view, no video
Opinion:I recently got a 5d classic, bad to call it old, for 250 euros from a well-known dealer of photographic material in my city and I'm thrilled. I'm using it with a canon 24-85 usm 3.5-4.5 (the champagne version) even older and a 50mm 1.8 yongnuo so not a proper top set but the results are broadly satisfactory compared to my previous canon 1300d. If you don't need the latest technological innovations such as wi-fi and nfc, to make 4k videos and have 1000 items in the settings menu, if you want a reliable, simple camera that is halfway between the old analogues and the new digitals then take it one, at this price you can't hope to use anything better.
Opinion:I'm trying a canon 5d bought at the insane figure of 200 Eurini. I come from Olympus analogue and I tried Nikon D70 Canon 300, 350, 400, 1000, 1200 but I have never found myself at ease especially for the sights not suitable for "cecati" like me. Now I have rediscovered the pleasure of seeing well what I'm going to photograph, to have definition and colors. So I think, without wanting to unleash wars of factions that APS-C and minor formats are just a trick of when building large sensors was insane. The trick that survives to itself. Maybe excluding a few top of the line. I want to imagine what the last 5d or the 1d can be.... And I can only imagine. True that I'm comparing Vecche APS-C not top of the line with an ex-top range but there is no history.
Pros:Ergonomic body and not too heavy, sturdiness, few frills, FF, chromatic rendition, light files, ISO bass.
Cons:LV absence, few AF points, limited ISO, slow burst.
Opinion:Socket used at €300 with two original batteries: I love it. I love pushing it beyond its limits. It conveys a feeling of robustness and "professionalism". Very comfortable body, with the pleasant presence of the joystick for the selection of (few) points of AF. Quick focus, but only with the center point, the others are good for stationary and easily dockable subjects. Menu very simple and intuitive, with the right amount of settings. Pity the absence of live view, but it is absolutely understandable. As for the files that churn, what can I say? It's magical. Magic. Thanks to the few MPX does not put in crisis optical even dated and gives photos that occupy little space. Any advice? Bright Lenses and low ISO: it will amaze you. Leaving aside the obvious speech related to the 1600 native ISO (3200 extended), the grain that is clearly visible already from ISO intermediate does not annoy, sometimes revealing to be appreciated. Display conservingly (Little shadow Recovery) and you'll have images with the classic Canon fullframe look of the past. Splendid colors, little to say. Do not take it to "try the FF", a modern APSC ridicules it at the level of mere image quality. That's not the point. A fantastic school ship, a fantastic "second body". It is a reflex with a few finery... One that goes straight to the chase and needs precise rules. Use it for delight, calmly, reasoning every shot. He won't disappoint you.
