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: File quality, ergonomics, construction, price of used

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I had it for several years and it gave me a lot of satisfaction, exceptional file quality, compared to the MK II it clearly improves the whole AF system. Robust and reliable is a professional machine that never disappoints, today on the second-hand market it is a bargain and you can buy it at a good price. Excellent seal at high Iso. RAW files are no better than MK II.

Pros: Machine? No monster

Cons: Maybe some flaw in af

Opinion: Absolutely outstanding machine. File quality. Ergonomics from heart attack. Not very reactive af in low light situations but still crazy in all other situations. This machine takes beautiful photographs, you can not say more. I use it with the 24-105 l and it is a tank that produces crazy quality

Pros: Solid construction, made to last.

Cons: The years pass for everyone, you can not expect miracles of technology on a body of 2012. The only real flaw is that it lacks wifi.

Opinion: A camera body made to last over time and capable of producing quality files that are still absolutely competitive on today's market despite the fact that we are talking about an old Canon glory. To find a flaw, it can be said that sometimes, depending on the optics that mount, there are few points of focus. To date, I use it as the main machine, suitable for most shooting situations. Of course, in sports or birdlife you can not expect miracles from an effective but dated af.

Pros: It's made to climb Everest and guarantee you the photo, no need to say anything else.

Cons: Self-customizable, it is not possible to vary the exposure compensation in M, AF LV a bit 'slow, light meter of old conception but stupid enough to anticipate it.

Opinion: After 10 years I find it a very modern body for many uses, I specify that I do not use neither real tracking nor eye AF, so returning to use a reflex is not traumatic. The 5D is made in an admirable way, really built to resist, specimens of 300,000 shots still go as the first day without even aesthetic decays. The sensor is old school Canon, hardly burns the lights but is very limited in the underexposure, I almost never open the shadows so it does not give me real problems. The light meter is very simple and conservative but having no intelligence it is possible to understand how it will expose and immediately adjust accordingly. The burst is just enough, the AF comes from that of the 1DX, although it does not have that nastiness and mystical precision, for example the 5D has the polycarbonate AF sensor, the sapphire series 1. However, the coverage is good and with the right lenses is a sniper (the modern L 70-200/100/24-70II etc.). Incredibly, the 50 STM is also fine. As for the software Canon could implement the autoiso with more minimum times in AV and unlock the exposure compensation when in M... They were not great demands!
