Don't Be Fooled, the 5D is THE Way to Go
|
There are tons of raving reviews about the amazing 5D, so no repeating all that. There is one reason the 5D is THE choice: the full frame sensor, hands down. The image quality is umatched and is super low noise BECAUSE of the larger sensor. You see it in the top end cameras costing up to eight grand, but the difference is, you get it for this incredible price. Sure, there are things that people aren't happy with on the 5D like menus and no weather sealing, but in the end, image quality is what it's all about. For landscapes and nature shots and anything else where the rich look of a medium format camera is desired, the 5D does it. Of course, if you can afford the 21MP 1Ds Mk III, go get that. Otherwise, the 5D is primo.
Important things to know:
-No pop up flash. No offense, this is a real camera. Get a real flash for it. Pop up flashes are for snapshots. Better choice: set ISO to 1600 and get natural light images (yep, 1600, and it looks good due to: the full frame sensor! Your friend with the Rebel can't do ISO 1600 without gobs of noise).
-Flash sync at 1/200, not 1/250. If you do sports photos and hook up to the wireless flash systems in arenas, this might be an issue. For everyone else, you'll not even notice.
-Get some big CF cards, the RAW files can get up to 15MB each.
-The JPEGs don't come out all that great. Be prepared to use the RAW files and your results will be phenomenal (note: the 5D has built-in "Picture Styles" for JPEGs... you may get good results with that. I only use RAW).
-No EF-S lenses on this camera. It only uses real EF lenses (the better ones).
I can't rave enough about this 5D. To get full frame for this price is insane, I can't imagine using cropped sensor cameras ever again. BTW, your cropped sensor cameras (20D, 30D, 40D, etc) don't turn a 200mm lens into a 320mm lens, it just crops it. Big difference. Don't let that sales pitch fool you. You can crop your 5D image to look the same and still have the image quality of the 10MP cropped cameras. Get the 5D. |
