my full frame moveIt has justified my faith & produces consistent quality imagesIt is not the most dust or weather

I won't rehash what has already been said on this topic but allow me to express how much I enjoy the build quality of the 5D. It is not the same as the 1D series that's for sure (I also owned a 1Ds MkII Full Frame), however it beats the rebels and even the XXD series by a LONG shot

There might be controvery with this camera due to the age of its design but as a previous owner of a 20d, I can attest to the excellent quality of this box

I took a lot of pictures late in the evening and using 1600 ISO, the quality was still very good

Either their equipment is too expensive to justify the purchase or it seems to basically mimic the function of my still-loved XTI - I'm not someone that is constantly clawing and scratching for the latest tech gear - I just want nice compelling pictures that have good image quality (XTI fits that bill fine).

Better image quality

To my thinking, the 5D's strengths are apparent: superb image quality (be sure to use the best optics

Even today with improvements in processing, new equipement, etc., this camera is consistent, sturdy and has excellent image quality from 100 - 800 ISO.

And, Canon has a huge and growing number of image-stabilized lenses, as well as "l" glass super-high quality lenses

Quality of the pic is excellent, color saturation is awsome

Great image quality, feels pro like and came pretty fast

L series lenses, the 100 macro and a few others work for me), excellent build quality and finish, the best ergonomics I have ever found in a camera (shared by the EOS series as a whole) and a really great price

High quality fast glass is incredibly expensive, so don't waste that light by projecting it around (off of) a small sensor

The quality of the images both still and filmed are amazing

You can buy a whole set of wider lenses for those cameras, but you lose optical quality and pay the same money in the end.

But the superior image quality is worth the occasional sensor cleaning.

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)

quality- Higher ISO, color bit rate and dynamic

Even though the modern quality isn't there, this camera is still a camera for pros

I may be upgrading or changing to Nikon since i can no longer trust this cam..unless Canon lets me know the fixes/replacements are of a sturdier quality.

Pixel size: the 12 plus megapixels make for amazing quality images.4

I would recommend using Canon L lenses to take the best quality pictures from this camera

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

Huge upgrade from a crop sensor camera and the build quality is amazing!!

You do have to give up a few things, such as a super-fast frame rate for continuous shooting, but the 5D has the resolution you need for top-quality images, and the ability to get true wide angle perspectives from your EF lenses.

Every one of them recommended the 5D - citing image quality.

In the time I've had my 5D I have actually been selling prints (up to 24x36 with excellent quality) and have had people request I take their family portraits once they see the image quality.

Built quality is great and ergonomically it is much better than the rebel

Even compared to todays modern APS-C, 4/3 and 1" sensors, the 5D has excellent quality images, good focusing, and also compares in terms of high ISO.

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

One solace I do have is the L and other EF lenses I bought this year will not be obsolete anytime soon

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...

This is the obvious camera if you truly love your 24-70 L and 70-

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 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.
