Opinion:We take into account that we are talking about a machine that is more than 15 years old. Having made this premise again, for studio photography I think it can be more than fine. Personally I have a pleasant memory of use with this old flagship. The defects I mentioned are certainly noticed by me because I am used to more developed technologies. For less than 200 euros, if I had not switched to Fujifilm, I would probably buy it again, for fun, certainly not for work.
Pros:FF, solidity, compatibility with old lenses, ease of use, reminds me of old films, photo quality
Cons:Battery life, unreliable screen, sensor that gets dirty very easily
Opinion:Coming from analog (but I also have a Nikon D90), I find myself with a bit of C/Y and M42 mount lenses that I still use, but that I thought I could also use digitally. So after inquiring I decided that the solution can only be a Canon FF. Last year I found a 5D with an old 28-135 zoom and bought it. Not needing dozens of Mpx or who knows what technology the 5D was the right purchase: with adapter rings I can mount my vintage lenses with all their peculiarities (especially the M42) and get very interesting results. First of all, as soon as you take it in hand you have a feeling of solidity and impressive "concreteness". It's big and heavy but you get used to it quickly so much so that when I shoot with the D90 I feel like I have a toy in my hand. It does not have who knows what functions, but if you have to take photos very often too many are useless, especially using manual focus lenses and having grown up with the Yaschica 80s. :-) The results with vintage lenses are good, and I agree with those who before me compared the shots of 5D to those of old films, the good ones. With a minimum intervention in post-production you get unique shots as a yield. Being above all a landscaper and / or not taking sports photos or where there is a need for very fast reaction times, often using manual focus lenses (I have a Zeiss Distagon 25mm which is a show on this machine) the problem of autofocus almost never presented to me. And I must say that even when I hold the zoom with which I bought it, precision and vibration reduction did their job. Of course they are not lightning, but in the end it is not for what I bought it. Here, if you plan to use it as I do with old lenses keep in mind two things: 1) the focus is not at all assisted, you have very good eyes (which I do not have), do not trust to put the focus on infinity, it is not always accurate with the old lenses coupled with digital bodies and / or not of the same brand. 2) for the exposure you will have to work in stop-down, that is, you will not see anything in the viewfinder, only if you are exposing too much or too little. And you will have to adjust the apertures on the barrel or the times of the car accordingly. Always focus with the maximum aperture and only then adjust the aperture: if you do the opposite the viewfinder will be too dark. Is all this a problem? Absolutely not. for the old men it will be like going back in time. For newbies it will be a good opportunity to slow down and maybe better understand the dynamics of light / times. To conclude this (perhaps fon too lnga) dissertation, I highly recommend the purchase. it perfectly does what I thought I'd buy it for. but even if you plan to use it with modern lenses and in a "modern" way I do not think it will disappoint you.
Pros:Colors , clean files , minimalist , battery life , central af .
Cons:None as long as you know how to photograph in manual.
Opinion:Excellent camera body, without budget problems you can decide to invest in this body with a 100mm f2 for portraiture, all used lens + body combo for less than 500 € , if tomorrow I were to lose my equipment , I would definitely fall back on this concrete choice. The files are saturated and engraved, perhaps due to the absence of the AA filter, these 12 mpx are crispy and if a person is accustomed to precision in the compositional phase, without any crop the file is more beautiful than some big mpx.
Pros:Image quality, solid construction, great viewfinder
Cons:rear display with poor resolution
Opinion:I have been filming this machine for a few months after many years, The quality of the images is very good the raw are well workable and even direct jpegs are appreciable as colors and definition The resolution of 12.7 mpx is enough for even large prints (I made A2s with excellent results) does not allow large cutouts so it requires attention in the compositional phase. Up to 400 isos there are no particular problems, between 400 and 800 is still usable, over 1600 isos are heard. The shot is a little too noisy (but if you are not in the theater it is fine) The burst is in fact not there (so no sports photographers or photo hunting) AF adequate for not too dynamic genres No live view that could sometimes be convenient In conclusion, it is a good body FF machine that is located at very interesting prices in relation to the quality it offers.
Pros:three-dimensionality of the files, FF at a derisory price, embodied colors.
Cons:unusable screen, no video or liveview, pretty heavy
Opinion:Machine that has its years, has an embarrassing screen, does not make videos, has no wifii, no GPS, no liveview, and in general almost non-existent technology... but one thing does it and does it very well, THE PHOTOGRAPHS! For those who want a pure camera, which in short does "only" that. Excellent files, really beautiful, a complexion and three-dimensionality of other times, even the grain is not bad and remembers the film. With fire on the center point there are no problems. Also the used is located at derisory prices, to have great rows even in 2021! I turned them all over, fuji x-e2 and x-e3, olympus e-m10 and e-m5, nikon d600, canon 6d, 5d II, pentax k-5, k-5 II and k-3, Sony A7, but in the end I went back to my dear 5d, a timeless tank that only takes pictures, but does them very but very well, a life choice ;-)
