You can either shoot in raw and adjust for fall off in Photoshop, or you can learn not to push your lenses as hard as you could with a crop factor camera
And, Canon has a huge and growing number of image-stabilized lenses, as well as "l" glass super-high quality lenses
I would recommend using Canon L lenses to take the best quality pictures from this camera
i just bought the camera the other day; what an improvement to my 10D;working in the RAW format just blows my mind; like everything else you shouldupgrade to the "better lenses" (L) to live up to the quality of the camera;i have never had so much fun; just stick to buying your camera from Amazonnot from the guys in NY...
As my lenses got of better quality, including the beautiful 'L' series lenses, my images were beginning to get noticed and soon I was being booked for functions, etc

The overwhelming number of people (pros and amateurs alike) that have truly used this camera as it was designed (that is, coupled with the right choice of lens) have had outstanding results
Great camera, great results, nice dynamic range and RAW files are really sharp and give a lot of details
The 100-400 and the TS-E fall a bit behind on sharpness, but the others are just
Be warned that a full-frame camera will reveal the weaknesses and distortions of cheaper lenses so if you want to get the best results, invest into some quality lenses like Canons "L" pro quality lenses or research the cheaper ones to find which ones do well on full-frame cameras (like the bargain EF 50 f/1.8)
The colors are great and now the focal length of lenses give me what I expect
poor color and light fall-off at large apertures are two very serious stumbling blocks

Full frame, L series lenses, true wide angle, reasonable size body, good weight, buttons laid out well, easy menu, beautiful lens, great color, diopter adjust is great, high resolution for the price, good battery life, ergonomic, and a very reasonable price for a great camera
File sizes are reasonable, good contrast and color, great Canon full frame lenses.
Just because a 35mm gives you a similar view as a 50mm on full frame the images look more distorted and just different.

I have been very surprised at how good the images are, better than any film camera film combination I have ever owned
The years that I have seen my pro-buddies knock out stellar images without the slightest notion that they desired more quality from any other camera or gear.
Some of the professional reviews mention little picky things that they would change, but for me this camera is perfect.
This thing is amazing!This camera captures incredible details, and the full frame sensor lets me shoot without having to multiply the focal lengths by 1.6x.
The full-frame censor comes in mighty handy when you need to crop and don't think this is an insignificant thing.
There are a couple things about the EOS 5D Mark II that I would like to have: sensor cleaning facilities, weather sealing, and true VGA quality LCD on the back of the camera, but for the price of the upgrade, these things seem
This is one of the greatest things ever in my opinion for both professional, and amateur photographer.
Works well with slower lenses as well, just a slightly darker viewfinder
I cann't imagine better resolution then this.[At least not in a camera I can afford!]I recently purchased the Canon 9500 printer and have done a couple of 13&19 prints with no grain
I love the viewfinder and its great big view, no more tunnel vision for me
The body is in exceptional conditional, dials work great, viewfinder looks good and the shutter has held up

Only problem we have is that the camera is so good it shows of the defects when we use a cheap lens!

i have chosen this camera for the price/performance and also the 12mpx that are more than enough and do not require the usage of the most expensive Canon lens such as the 5DII
Is it perfect, no, but a very, very good camera and lens
Instead of upgrading my archaic 300D (pushing a strong 6.5MP, useless above 400 ISO, in my opinion) over the years I've upgraded glass with a 15MM f/2.8 fisheye, 24-70 f/2.8L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS and a really sweet cheap lens -
Amazon had the cheapest price (at the time) and the camera is everything I expected and more.
Price: still pretty steep, considering we are near the end of the cycle

I recently bought this camera through Amazon for the amazing price of $350.00
The cheap price for this camera makes this an extremely good deal.
Most important point this classic full frame DSLR has, is IMAGE QUALITY
You can either shoot in raw and adjust for fall off in Photoshop, or you can learn not to push your lenses as hard as you could with a crop factor camera
I love what the full frame gives you for landscapes as well
And they did it at half the price that the cheapest full-frame Nikon goes for
You won't realized how important full frame is until you own one
I have a 50mm F/1.8 Mk I on both of my 5Ds (metal mount), and they do just fine as a walk around lens.
LCD on the back is a bit smaller and dimmer than thenewer more expensive models, so if you have sight issues like I do thenyou might rethink this camera
I own a Canon EOS 1Ds, 11.1 mp camera and it is without a doubt a fine piece of equipment but a bit on the heavy side for an old man like me
The 100-400 and the TS-E fall a bit behind on sharpness, but the others are just

Things that could be better:Timer needs to be adjustable (Like a 2 second delay for tripod work), one or 2 buttons for custom settings (instead of the stupid print button).
It lacks a lot of pro features (because it doesn't want to step on big brother's toes - 1Ds II) like weather sealing, 5 fps, dedicated mirror lock-up button, and auto iso
All functions are easily accessible, and most common functions are attached to hard buttons
, the buttons are hard to press and because they have double functions I always mess one setting up while adjusting the other
