    I got my 5D Classic 3 years ago. Paired it with the 1.8 nifty fifty lens. It still takes amazing 35mm film look photos.

    The photos you showed from the 5D classic, my jaw literally dropped. The photos you took are simply amazing and the camera just makes you love it more. Nice works👍🏻. Just got mine recently still getting use to the whole setup and feel.

    Love that you motivate people to buy a "cheap" pro camera, I owned Nikon D5300, then upgraded to A73, didn't like it, sold it, bought a 5D classic. Loving it.

    The bigger pixels of 5D Classic produce better dynamic range and low-light capability. The images look beautiful whatever conditions those are shot under. I use this gem for landscape shots, street/lifestyle photography and occasional indoor portraits. Couldn't be happier.

    The 5D (classic) is getting a lot of interest recently. A couple of months ago I purchased this camera as I wanted to experiment with it. It turned out to be my main camera for the last months. I enjoyed the ease of use of the simple menu's, no live view, no video, simple AF system. I bought a wide angle, all purpose, and tele L glass zoom, the nifty 50, 85mm f/1.8 to complement this camera. the results I got are great and made me wonder why I need a more expensive setup for the subjects I shoot.
    Unfortunately Canon does not service the camera's anymore (Netherlands, Belgium) so when purchasing the camera get a well cared one and test it throughly before purchasing. 2 things to look after ask if the mirror fixings have been reinforced, earlier serial numbers had a screen with a heavy colour cast. You can also consider the 30D with have the same button layout as the 5d but in APS-C format same pixel density so only 8mp and same image processor, same batteries. You can find these for less than 100€. The 5D goes easily up to iso 1600 even the hi setting (3200ISO) is very decent. With the 30D iso performance is similar. We did recently some enlargements of industry photography by night (shot on tripod at 200ISO) and we printed these pictures on ca 45cm x 70cm on a pro grade Epson printer. The results are of gallery quality.
    In the last years I had the opportunity to use the latest and greatest out there from Nikon, Fujifilm, Olympus, Panasonic, Leica M,...). The 5D is the most rewarding experience (considering the price) I got. I still shoot film on Nikon with old Ai lenses and the Leica M. This experience made me think about the stuff I have and I am considering/did a major cleanup.
    Keeping:
    Leica M9 and Leica lenses
    Leica M6TTL (film)
    Canon 5D, 30D and Canon lenses
    Nikon D700 (although I like the better rendering of the 5D, my personal opinion) I can use my old Ai/AF-D lenses on a digital body
    Nikon F2 & F4 (film)
    Nikkor AI(s) and AF-D lenses
    Selling:
    Mirrorless stuff. Although great in the "honeymoon phase" it is not my thing, I noticed I am more a viewfinder/pentaprism user.

  • @klaushuxley3342
    @klaushuxley3342 6 лет назад +27

    I have a 5d and 6d - the images from the 5d are much, much nicer looking. 6d kills at night, but everything else is better on the old, 12mp 5d.

    • @klaushuxley3342
      @klaushuxley3342 6 лет назад +7

    • @1983banana1983
      @1983banana1983 5 лет назад +1

      Came to the same conclusion. The sensor in the 5d has a very pleasing look. I got rid of the 6d again but still have my original 5d that I bought in 2007.
      The X100F is a fantastic camera. I use it a lot for everything in life. It also can be of use for commercial work but it shines as my go to camera for family moments.

    I regretted that I sold mine back in 2014. However, I bought 1Ds in 2016. 5Dc isn't the first FF Digital camera hits the market. First it was Contax N Digital (2002), 1Ds (2002), Kodak DCS Pro (2002-2004), 1Ds Mark II (2004) then Canon 5D (2005) best known as the cheapest FF Digital cam hits the market. The thing I love the most about 5Dc... strong color, film like grain at high iso and file size! Why did I bought 1Ds over 5D? 5D most likely prone to dust. 1Ds is rugged, weather sealed, dust resistance and quieter shutter mechanism. Another reason, I use vintage lenses, so some of my lenses would hit the mirror on 5D but it doesn't hit the mirror on 1Ds... Cheers!!

    • @kenjiburtley2088
      @kenjiburtley2088 6 лет назад

      I hear the 1Ds takes better images than the 5Dc and you get more autofocus points, but the weight of the 1ds, my goodness is very heavy. I'm looking for a 5Dc today to start shooting with. Plus the 5Dc has a weak AA filter with makes for sharper images.

      The 5D is a great camera. I see it regularly for 200 Euros/Dollars or even less, which is crazy for what you get out of it. Add a 50mm f1.8 and you have everything you need.

    I like how he talks about his personal life. like his girlfriend's family, his travels and the set of cameras he owns and how he manages to use them interchangebly. I would buy this camera but i'd rather go for the 5d Mark ii or the 6d because i cant get over reviewing images. thanks mate! also i doubt the results of matching a 1K worth canon 50 mm f1.2 would compare to other nifty fifty lenses

    •  6 лет назад

      Hi Iness, thanks for your feedback! Really nice words you wrote here. The 5D II or 6D are also great alternatives which are newer and offer more features. Both cameras you can buy for about 600 to 700 Euros second hand. I find the Nifty Fifty is very close to the 50mm f1.2 lens. I've owned both and I personally see very little difference between images I took with the f1.8 version compared to the f1.2 version. So I still would shoot the f1.8 all day without missing anything (in my opinion.). Take a look at my channel, you'll find many videos with the 50mm f1.2 and hundreds of videos where I use the 50mm f1.8.
      Dirksón!

      I still use this camera today and you´re totally right, I have some dust spots on the sensor and haven't cleaned it yet and whenever I have ask in the image I see that - but once it´s clean it is a great camera still to this day.

  • @Outlast1965
    @Outlast1965 6 лет назад +2

    Very nice video Dirkson. As you said, you started with Canon, and went thru with it. In my case, with Nikon, of which D700 renders output distinctly from latest models. However, getting the 5D is way down cheaper. Truly amazed of the output it shows from raw file, specially my interest drawn on your image img_3902 and 3822! On 3902 image, the roof details of 3902 remained pulling out the shadows from the raw file. The 3822, tonality was just perfect for the scene, not to mention your composition, awesome! Would be so tempting to get 5D myself, but it would be spending another budget. Perhaps later. Thank you for sharing. Have subscribed and liked.

      Really great deal! But clicks can be misleading. It is not possible to read the clicks on a 5d classic. Canon itself can do it maybe. What serial number do you have? Anyway, regardless of the shuttrr count it is a great deal and great to use many people go to the old 5d.

      Yes, the 5d I and the 50mm f1.8 is a killer combo that will hold up quality wise on a very high level. I still love using the 5d and it has one of the best jpg engines I've experienced so far.

    The images are wonderful. The models look happy. The woman has a very natural beauty--rare in the modern era of being a bit too made up (the first cousin in the video). The other cousin also looks great, very sophisticated. I agree with you: the Canon 5D classic is a total winner. You managed some beautiful tones in the images from the church. I'm on my second 5D--this one I'll keep.

    •  3 года назад

      I have mine in Spain for 5 years now and always use it when I am there next to other cameras as well. I am thinking about adding one or a 5D II here in Germany just for the fun of it - both models are super cheap, I've seen the 5D for 150 to 250 Euros, which is insane thinking about what beauty that camera can produce.

    And what lens would you recommend for street photography?
    I will wait for your reply,Thank you very much

    •  3 года назад +1

      50mm f1.8 II and 50mm f1.8 STM are like the same lenses, I have both and don't see any difference, but I would go for the STM version. It is a lovely lens, I also have the 50mm f1.2 L but still use the cheap f1.8 version because it is so good. I don't really need the f1.2 one, but I wanted it so I got it :)

    Any of the 5d series work well with some great glass. I have to agree the colors reproduced are great, and it has a certain look. I tell people all the time, sometimes it’s good to keep older gear, or have at least one older camera in your Arsenal. Older cameras have a non-digitized look that people try to recreate today. Why try to recreate when you can just do. Great video and content. 👏👏📸

      This is overall very, very wrong and ill-informed. Although smartphones will never match a DSLR in terms of image quality, there are recent videos of pros trying to guess correctly from 2 photographs which ones were shot on smartphones and DSLRs (the same photo). Suffice to say they were wrong 90% of the time, and couldn't tell the difference.
      Now whereas you might not want to shoot weddings with a smartphone, image quality is still good enough for original size prints in my opinion.

    •  5 лет назад +1

      I stick to Canon. I have a Tamron 24-70 f2.8 IS that was a disappointment and a Sigma 35mm f1.4 ART lens that also misfocuses very often. I would not go for a Yongnuo lens, Would take the 50mm f1.4 from Canon (very cheap on the used market) or if you want best quality the Sigma 50mm f1.4 (though it is very heavy). Even the 50mm f1.8 STM lens from Canon is incredible from the quality - I can leave my 50mm f1.2 L at home and shoot with the 50mm f1.8 - nearly no difference in the final image.

    With my 5D the EF 40mm 2.8 is a joy to use :) cheap and crazy sharp stopped down and very 3dimensional files.
    (paid 150€ with original battery grip in 2019, crazy deal, it has a very small scratch on the sensor but no problem with the pictures)

      @ let me know how it performs on your 5dsr , interested in the big 50mp Canon twins ;) not looking at the sheet specs of the net: resolving power, bla bla etc (most people wd say it's no good for a hi res sensor, but I think could very great).. it's a beast from F5.6 to F16 over all the frame very sharp (at least it is with my 5d mk1).

      What will you be shooting? I got the 7d mark 2 and I love it very much. The metering on the 7d mark2 is awesome and make sure you get good fast glass to bring out the best with it.

      The 7D mark ii is the best choice then. The 7d's 1.6 crop sensor will give you the extra focal reach which will put you closer to your subject in the frame. A 200mm will become a 320mm on a 1.6 crop sensor giving you that extra reach over a full frame camera like the 5D or 6D. A 200mm is just a 200mm on a full frame. More bang for your buck.

    • @1983banana1983
      @1983banana1983 5 лет назад +1

      5d mark 2 for a better high ISO. The 5d classic for pure image quality. If you use it for portraiture, studio, daylight etc. ISO 200 - 1600 is awesome on the 5d classic. You can work with that for those subjects. For sports, lowlight fast moving objects I would choose something else.

    Hello. What are your color settings in the camera? Are you using a neutral color setting? Are you setting the white balance manually, Or are you using Auto White Balance? These are amazing photos, and I just bought a Mk i and I'm trying to get the most out of it.

    •  6 лет назад

      Hi EpicZeus, I always shoot everything manually. I never use Auto white balance as the colors will be way too cold/blue. All the images are RAW files, so no info about picture style is implemented in the images. I feel that all picture styles are all very similar (only monochrome is very different because its b&w and landscape makes strong colors - the others are all nearly the same). If you want to get the best out of your camera without any editing I recommend you my ebook (it is very cheap) - all images are unedited jpgs using different camera models (also cheap ones) - here I have more info on it: www.dirkson-photography.com/produkt/e-book-master-your-camera-getting-great-images-straight-from-your-camera/

    •  6 лет назад +1

      Hi Aeson, I always shoot everything in Manual mode and usually don't work with any metering - I just take a picture, look at it and then adjust the shutter speed if it is too dark or too bright - that's it :)

    Do you think it's a good idea to get a 5D Classic with a 50mm 1.8 lens to carry every day? I have a 5D Mark IV and more expensive glass, but a £200 combo is easier to replace than £3000 combo :)
    I'm mainly thinking of having it as a banger to just...have on me at all times.

    •  6 лет назад +2

      The 5D I and the 50mm f1.8 is a great combo. From the look of the image I see only very little difference between my 6DII and 50mm f1.2 L compared to my 5D I with the 50mm f1.8 STM when shooting in Daylight, so it is definitely a great and cheap choice with professional results (if you don't need to print super large).

    • @TheUltimateBlooper
      @TheUltimateBlooper 6 лет назад +1

      Thanks for your reply! I found a very good condition 5D for £300. I figured I won't spend any extra on another 50mm lens, I'll just slap my old 50mm F/1.4 USM on it :)
      Can't wait to have fun with it! It's almost like my 5D Mark IV is too clinical a lot of the time and I'm looking forward to those smaller faster files, especially with mobile workflows.
      By the way, how did you edit the pics of your girlfriend's cousin by the sea where the skin pops and the water gets a beautiful cyan tone? The overall color scheme becomes very warm and pleasing, I was wondering if you did the toning yourself or used some sort of a preset. Thanks! :)

      Yes :) You can also go for a 5D Mark II or a 6D, they are all relatively cheap and great in image quality (when you get the 5D you can buy an sd to cf adapter for about 11 euros/dollars - they work great with sd cards if you don't have cf cards like me).

    •  4 года назад +1

      Ich habe die Nikon D700 nie probiert, doch finde die 5D immer noch super. Ich habe sie bei eBay Kleinanzeigen vor ein paar Tagen für 150 Euro bis 200 Euro gesehen, was unglaublich ist. Man kann gut bei ISO 1600 fotografieren und sogar bei H, was ISO 3200 darstellt, sind die Bilder immer noch gut zu gebrauchen. Ansonsten die 6D, die ebenfalls super günstig geworden ist.

    • @lisimahus
      @lisimahus 4 года назад

      @ Vielen Dank für die Antwort. Was Sie im Video sagen und zeigen ist sehr überzeugend, bislang habe ich nur mit Nikon D300 und Canon 7D gearbeitet, also APS-C. Und bin gerade auf der Suche nach einer full frame Kamera. Die Canon 5D ist in meiner Gegend etwas billiger als die Nikon D700 zu finden, der Unterschied im Preis ist nicht so groß allerdings. Eine Canon 6D wäre auch gut, wenn ich sie für extra 200 euro gut gebraucht finden konnte.

    •  4 года назад +1

      @@lisimahus Die 5D ist deutlich besser vom Bildergebnis als die 7D meiner Meinung nach. Die 5D hat 10 MP, die 6D ca. 20 MP. Die 5D fühlt sich fast analog an im positiven Sinne, es macht super Spass damit zu fotografieren. Die 6D ist ebenfalls super und neuer - beide habe ich und ich kann Beie empfehlen - die 6D ist vermutlich noch langlebiger, besserer Akku Videofunktion, Hörer ISO, besserer AF, etc., doch vieles davon ist bei der 5D schon so gut, dass es Dich nicht einschränken sollte. Ich empfehle ein günstiges 50mm f1.8 oder 40mm f2.8 (eines davon) und Du hast alles was Du brauchst. Nach 3 Jahren verkaufst Du alles für denselben Preis, den Du gezahlt hast :)

      The 5D is great, but I think you should get a newer camera like the 6D. It is really cheap now 2nd hand and you get great battery life, 20MP, great back LCD, Video, Great Center Autofocus Point, etc. The 5D is great, but for a little bit more you can go with the much newer 6D Mark 1.

The 5D is imo a pretty poor MF body, unless you get a split prism focus screen. There is a reason why the D700 demands a higher price even today. But I agree the 5D has beautiful files, I sometimes think about rebuying one, but I already more gear than I should have.
