Pros: full frame, good quality, well build , AF well build, IT IS A GOOD MACHINE!

Cons: to expensive !!!

Opinion: i've got this camera from 2 years now. It is a good camera over all!! very good. Good construction. good features on it. too heavy, but it's professional. the AF sister is so fast and doing good job. Provide a good quality of picture, OK, now depends all of the lenses you are used. But with my canon 24-70 f/2.8 and the 70-200 f/4 L is working so good.

Pros: Honestly everything

Cons: If we really want, 14 years are felt in continuous shooting, ISO and AF

Opinion: Objectively it is a phenomenal machine in almost every respect. We know canon menus and they are very intuitive and convenient. The rendering is spectacular and the colors are gorgeous. The only cons are the continuous shooting that allows you to get to 6fps, the iso that over 6400 leave a lot of noise (however solvable in post) and the auto focus a bit slow. However, these are all factors due to age, so today they are only noticeable because we compare it to more modern machines. Be that as it may, a big advantage is on the video side, because thanks to the Magic Lantern team there are some great builds to record up to 5.7k (limited to 7fps, but there is also 4k in 24fps) in RAW. Of course it requires a very fast CF (I think the write cap of the amcchina is 120mbps, so the real limit is there)

Pros: Ergonomics, excellent files, ISO sealing, ease of use

Cons: weight,

Opinion: Bought used, in a trusted store, with 150k shots it looked new and after 2 years and 30,000 shots it still looks new. used almost mainly with sigma 100-400, for sports photos, almost always in M with auto iso limit at 3200. I have never had a problem ever an uncertainty, I am not a professional photographer to have fun I do not feel like expressing particularly technical opinions, I am very happy with the purchase

Pros: It fits on the hands like few others, Double Slot, Excellent files of the right weight both raw and jpg, good Af, High Iso quite exploitable, tropicalized, robust, a tank say many, and it is true, good second-hand price.

Cons: For the age it has I would say almost none, heavy compared to the latest Canon R, it has no articulated screen, but I'll stop here.

Opinion: Bought a few years ago by an amateur who kept it maniacally and used it very little, to combine it with another Eos body in the professional field. With the lenses of the L series it produces excellent files that have nothing to envy compared to those produced by the latest mirrorless. It is not afraid of bad weather during any event, wedding, reportage. The menu is easy and intuitive, customizable not only for those who have always used Canon, but also for users of other brands. From the excellent sensor come out files with the typical Canon colors, which I consider among the best for the colors of the complexion. The resolution is good for almost all genres of photography. I have enlarged prints up to A1 and even beyond on different materials and I consider them excellent, and the 22MP on FF are enough and advance. The viewfinder is bright and wide, even for those who use glasses like me. I rarely shoot using the rear screen, but it has modern and very useful features like many recent cameras. The battery lasts a long time. At the end of the day its weight is felt, you have to get used to it, but, thanks to the excellent ergonomics, it really gives a feeling of solidity that pleases. It is not a camera with which to shoot bursts endlessly, but (it will also be my way of photographing) it leads you to reason and shoot the right without making you miss the decisive moment. In some shots from particular positions the articulated screen is missing a bit which I find useful with other bodies. For the rest I think I will continue to use it again with great satisfaction!

Pros: Dust and shock resistance, mechanical, tracking on the fast-moving subject, resolution, details, ease of use, battery, ergonomics, being a high-end all-rounder, aesthetics.

Cons: From 2012 to today, the changes imposed by new technologies. For me, no one, it's fine like this, I still own it today and I feel great.

Opinion: It was the year 2012, and I, in need of a change of pace compared to an APS-C, was oriented to know the technical and specific characteristics of this camera, for me, exceptional. I bought it without hesitation. From 2012 to today, I have "squeezed" it in every way, with all the lenses I own and have possessed in my past, in every shooting condition, in every weather condition. Easy to use, good simple and effective menu, nice sensor, excellent mechanics, shutter speed more than sufficient even for sports, eternal battery, excellent battery grip, good attachment and maintenance of focus on the moving subject, many focus points available. Nowadays, I use it with a wide-angle lens, I put it to rest a bit, it deserves it after years in which, almost every day, I always had it in my hands. Rating 8.5/9.0
