*TIPS*
Go for a late 2 serial number onwards as the screen was replaced for a newer one with better colours with a less green tint.
-
Try and get one where the previous owners have had the mirror fixed from the Canon recall. There are support bars installed which you can see on google images. If the mirror does fall out you can easily glue it back in
-
Install magic lantern and get focus peaking, highlight flash, saturation options on the screen, fast zoom and delete etc etc.
-
Nikon FE focus screens fit, whilst not perfect you can have split image focus.
-
Update firmware to the latest 1.1.1 which IS out there and getting harder to find. I have the folder in my computer.
-
Get a rocket blower to clean the sensor as there is no self cleaning sensor.
-
On custom functions turn in extended ISO to activate iso 50 (and 3200 which is awful).
-
Get the fastest CF card you can afford and don’t use the CF-SD adaptors as the quality control may cause the pins to bend inside.
-
Set the joystick on custom functions to change focus points, although only the centre point is of any use in reality.
-
Use iso 800 at all times if wanting to use B&W if you want an organic grain.
I know these cameras inside and out. If you want the fixed mirror, buy one with the reinforced bars, end of. They never used ‘better glue’ on the later ones!
which picture style is the best for colors?
(Note to self Canon 5d)
Actually don't mind shots taken with 3200. With a little bit of noise reduction in Lightroom, the shots can still shine.
@@NGameReviewsnot bad in good light, but if shooting in lower light and having to raise shadows even slightly, it turns to garbage!
Would love to see review of the original Canon 6D (Mark 1). Many people believe the IQ is similar to 5D classic but 6D has more buttons, better AF and above all a better LCD and viewfinder.
I got rid of the 5D because the LCD is very low res. and not usable (for me).
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Classic! I picked one up a few years ago with a 40mm pancake lens and it’s an excellent walk around everyday combo.
This really hit home.I've been a serious photographer for more than 25 years and I always feel the pressure to keep up with all of the new technology, But when I look at my older images I realize that they are many of the best things I've ever shot. I loved both my Canon 5D and 5D Mk 2, and I'm seriously considering going back to them. I recently purchased a Sony DSC-R1 - a strange but amazing hybrid.that came out in 2005 and shoots wonderful images - I bought one when it was released in 2005. And also considering investing in a Hasselblad V system for shooting film. It was the only film camera that felt like it was an extension of my arm. Time to go back to basics and putting my energies into taking great pics - and not owning new cameras.
In my humble opinion, it's the best camera made. I've had many "high end" cameras and sold them because there is something about this camera that far exceeds anything else out there
agree on that. This and 1Ds mark iii. simple, robust and with beautiful colors
Es una Camara que tiene algo especial.
Interesting to hear that. I’ve never used a 5D. Can you put into words what it is?
Have you tried the Canon 40D?
For me is like the 5D in apsc size. Have very similar image rendition, same battery, similar ergonomics, but with some better things like auto ISO, live view (very primitive), better menus and UI structure, etc. I hope you could try it
Great video, I’ve been waiting for this to drop forever!
The 5D Classic was the first DSLR I ever bought. Glad I did as it was probably the best way to learn with its lack of creature comforts. I’ve been through two of them now due to shutter issues (not the mirror falling off though) and would still buy another in an instant.
I go back and look at my archives and will come across a picture that just looks more special than others, can’t really tell why exactly, and without fail, every time, it ends up having been taken on the 5D. Even after being heavily edited!
I’m 20, so I presume this camera was used for lots and lots of media I saw on TV and print so maybe there is some sort of early-2000s nostalgia factor to the files that my monkey brain loves.
That is so interesting! I feel the same. There is just something in the color and contrast that feels like a glorious memory. I wonder if that is just a cultural memory of sorts given how prevalent the camera was for so long. It's awesome to hear the image quality still resonates with you even thought we're of different generations.
5D from the video can be flashed to the latest version 1.1.1 this will support larger memory cards.
At the time of this posting mpb has twenty 5D in stock from $139-$189.
Helpful!! Thanks for sharing.
Just watch out because not all 5D bodies focus equally. I had to go through 3 bodies before finding one that would focus properly with most of my EF lenses. The other bodies had a tendency to front focus or back focus. This third body is on point like 90 percent of the time.
I understand the comparisons between 5Dc and D700 being tempting and does answer the age old questions well. I do feel like the fairer and more interesting comparison would have been the 5D mark II to the D700 both being released in the same year while each occupying a very different niche.
Thank you for this great review.
It's uplifting to see someone basing a camera review on the rendering qualities of a sensor, which is far more important than preoccupation more quantifiable data, such as megapixel count.
I have a Canon 6D, which also renders images in a beautiful way.
The 5D Mk1 and 2 and the 6D have some of the best full frame sensors ever made for Canon DSLRs. All three have a slightly different look, but what they have in common is that they are reminiscent of images from film. Maybe the 5D Mk1 was so film-like in rendering because Canon was trying to shift the customer base away from film?
The Canon R5 and R6 are technically light years ahead of these three old DSLRs, but the images just don't appeal to me in the same way. They are too just clinically digital, if that makes any sense...
I have two Canon 5D mk1 cameras, one for colour, the other converted for infrared capture. It has limitations that once adapted to is completely liberating to work with. Yes, the colour is not life like, and that is what is so good about it. I often shoot both RAW+JPEG to nail the colour in camera and layer it on top of the RAW file output for luminance optimisation. And yes ... the highlights roll off very nicely to allow a viable degree of shadow processing in post. With just this one camera I feel I can do exactly what I want with my photography. I think you feel the same.
I own and enjoy two 5D classic since 2005 as my only DSLR bodies. I worked with them as a weddings photographer and just recently I bought a 6D MkI which is also a delight, with a betrer screen, processing speed, AF and dynamic range than de 5D, but also a beautiful creamy output that reminds me the 5D classic. I think you should try a 6D MkI someday. Greetings.
i TOTALLY agree-the 6D has some of the 5D mojo. yup!
It’s worth noting that the 5D is 3 years older than the D700. Comparing the 5D Mark II to the D700 would probably be more fair.
This was indeed an epic overview of your thoughts on the 5d classic. That intro was just stunning. like you I have so many cameras both digital and film. I came to a point where I had to choose between the d700 and 5d. I ended up selling the 5d and keeping the d700. It was a hard decision. The auto iso of the d700 and weather sealing played a huge factor for me when it came to my backpacking/exploring. I recently went on the mist trail at Yosemite which the d700 absolutely killed the game for that whole trip. I do love the 5d and was happy with it. But I agree with your points on the raw files. In fact I have a 30x40 print hanging up in the waiting area of my business directly next to a print from the d700 and everyone is always stunned at the 5d image as well as the d700 image. which that 5d print was soon jpeg. you can't go wrong with either camera for sure! love your work as always!
Thank you! And totally agree with your thoughts and would have done the same if forced to choose.
Great video; thankyou. Love my 5D and only have two lenses…..the 40mm 2.8 and the 50mm 1.8. Just love how it renders the colours. I also have the 6D which i got for a song; that has a lovely look as well. Different but it’s got its own thing going on.
Canon made some great cameras back then.
5D is my all time favorite camera and still use one! Just in case anyone is concerned about the build, these are actually made of magnesium alloy, not plastic.
Great suggestion on the old lenses! I also use adapters to use old manual lenses, such as my favorite 50mm Super Takumar F1.4. The focusing screen can be changed to make it easier to use them, if you can find them these days.
Color rendition of skin tones makes this possibly the best portrait camera ever, which is one of the reasons it was a wedding favorite on top of the full frame look that was otherwise uncommon when it first came out. Back then, it was the 1ds mk2 or the 5d to get that dreamy look, and that was the entire market for full frame.
I adore mine too. One thing to keep in mind though is that in some models the mirror falls off. Canon fixed that back in the day for free. But not anymore. So it can happen that you buy a 5d classic which has that problem. And that happened to me too. I superglued the mirror as carefully as possible and had no problems ever since. But it can happen. No dealbreaker in my opinion for what it sells for right now and what wonders you get out of it. But still an issue to watch out for. Love your images, again beautiful moments and scenes of life.
This camera (as well as the MkII) bring back strong Tumblr / Phoot Camp memories for me, as I was living in NYC and starting to get more serious about photography.
My favourite song from Bat for Lashes - Daniel. An absolute banger back in the days🤩! Fits well. I think you not just have a good taste in old cameras but also in good music, too. Cheers!✌
i love your sssss remind me to my self cheers, and yeah about the 5D classic there is a bond between me and this camera i sold it few years after it came out then bought it again sold it again and it just keep coming back to me so finally i decided to keep it even if i will not gonna use it but it turned out i always use it, when i need natural look portraits, when i want to get great colors the only camera jumped into my mind is 5D.what is your favorite lens with it ?
Hi, there is a very special camera that I think would go very well with this channel, I don't know if you've heard of the Epson R-D1 but it's a really unique digital camera with a true analogue soul, it was launched in 2004 and even predates the M8.
This camera is really worth a look!
Your videos are great!
This generation of Canon DSLR’s are built like absolute tanks ⚡️ 2013 and on definitely incorporates that “plasticy” feel. Newer models perform at a clinical level but I’ll never sell my 7d mk1 and 5d mkII.
Love your videos!!
I have just bought it 2 months ago for my girlfriend who wanted to start photography. I think with a nifty fifty, it is the best camera to learn photogprahy📸
She will love and treasure it. She won't want another.
Great video! I love my 5D. I've had this camera for so many years now, I've shot so many pictures with it. There were many other cameras, but this was always my trusted best friend. With the nifty fifty and the 24-105 f4 l you have all you need. I often thought about an update, but this is so unique.
Thank you for the video. To get to the lower sections of the menu there is a button “JUMP”😏
I still use for wedding and engagement with 50\1.4 and 28\1.8 - love classic zeiss style rendering in bokeh

First Off, you gotta be a beast to come outta camera w/ jpegs that are this fire so big props to you! I don't know to this day what secret sauce Canon possible put into the 5D Classic but I swear they did. I have the 1Ds Mark ii which is full frame and dope as well, but 5d Classic to me is just that much better. Not the most dynamic range , to be expected of a camera this old, but If you know what your doing and particularly if you shoot RAW 5D Classic is just different
So kind thank you and yes, the 5D just has that je ne sais quoi.
Ok but if you had a choice between a canon 5D and a Leica M9 (with a replaced sensor glass) which one would you pick? I realize they’re two very different cameras but I’m still curious what people would pick. Which camera would your heart pick❤?
Leica lenses have a much superior optical quality and it is a way more portable (and attractive) package and the rangefinder experience is great if you shoot 35-50mm.
On the other hand, you are paying 10x more for a camera that's more likely to break down.
If you can afford a Leica, you are likely able to afford a 5D next to it as well...
Do I have to go back to aging rapidly. I could probably make better pictures but who am I kidding. It’s not my assignment. I might get a classic but I’m lacking a niche 😉
I had this camera and this lens until they were stolen in 2009 in Athens. The auto exposure was surprisingly good for a 35-area system. Some of my all time favourite photos were taken with it.
Gorgeous output of this camera.
If I didn't already have my beloved M8, M9-P, SL (Typ 601), H2 + CFH, H3DII-31, DCS620C, DCS620X, DCS660C, DCS760C I would definitely buy one of these. But enough is enough.
Wow, great timing. I was just watching a few of your videos and had noticed that you mention the 5D with fondness. I went to your channel to find your 5D review and was bummed that I didn't see anything. That was two days ago. Now, today, voilà... your 5D classic review. Awesome.
What a great review! So much effort and joy 😊I love this camera as well as D700 and I agree with what you said. I shoot JPEGs and this and RAW on the Nikon. This is definitely a classic while D700 is something you can match up against modern cameras with.
One more thing. I'm not sure if this applies to the 5D, but my 20D from 2004 also takes CF cards, but it can only format them to a max size of 8GB, you can put larger cards in, but it will only format them to 8GB. No permanent damage, just put them back in a newer camera and reformat them again. I chased around and got a couple more 8GB CF cards whilst they are still available
I use a 32GB CF card with my 5D without any issues (saw in another comment that you need the latest 1.1.1 firmware)
I have some current Nikons, but I love my D700. I also have a D3s that has a similar sensor. They are built like tanks, but using a cross strap lightens the load. Great image quality. Even at ISO 3200, there is a creamy look.
I've had my original 5D for a long time and I love it. I only have one lens, the 28mm f/1.8. I've tried upgrading many times, but I haven't found a camera yet that I am happier with. I even have a Leica Q now. In most ways, the Leica is the better camera, but I secretly still prefer my 5D... If only it focussed better in low light...
always commented Mk1-5D on this channel, its a legend and still amazing, also worth noting in the menu you can use the jump button to flick through the Red, blue and Orange sections of options . So getting to the format option is at hand quite fast. There are so many Fuji hunter after the film feel of life these days, but this just does it SOC. Great channel, glad you reviewed it.
I currently own a Fujifilm, I couldn't connect with the canon r series. The 5d OG looks amazing, I had a 70D that made me fall in love with photography.
for those looking into the comparison part of the video, i want folks to know this is kinda an apple to oranges comparison. the two cameras are 3 years apart on their release date and the d700 and 5dmark2 is a better comparison as they was released around the same time.
i do agree with most of the thoughts on the 5dmark1, the colors are amazing. i have both the 5dmark1 and 5dmark2 and i still prefer the mark1's color. the images produced definitely feels like film to me. before this camera i had a 40d for a couple of years and before that i shot with a canon ae1 for 15years. the 5dmark1 reminds me of my canon ae1 alot but just digital and updated tech. if i can get the 5dmark1 in a smaller package like the mirrorless cameras nowadays, i wouldn't need another camera.
This video is most beautiful video in your channel so far. The pictures make them so early 2000 vibes and nostalgic. These vibes have made me emotional.
You really need to mess with Fuji camera recipes. You very much can get these rich vintage vibes, use OWH’s Kodak Ektar 100 recipe (or one of the few new American color recipes) with the Zeiss 32 1.8 Touit.
It joins my 6D in my full-frame menagerie in a week.
❤ Thank you!! Awesome vidio!!! I'm waiting for the story on camera Pentax k10D ❤❤❤.
Re: The adjustment buttons (11:05): Unlike the way contemporary Nikons worked, you don't have to press-and-hold the adjustment buttons. You can just tap the button and turn either the front or rear dial, depending on the setting you're changing. If your hands are big enough, those six top-button settings are all one-handed adjustments.
You don't have to scroll down to format the card on the 5D - scroll 'up' / turn the dial the other way. Much faster.
Also try the jump button. It 'jumps' you from one section of the menu (they are divided by colour) to the next. Very fast, very handy.
Omg this video was perfect timing, I just picked one up last week (in excellent condition!) with the battery grip for $200 local
While I never owned a 5D classic, I used one early on and it made me feel so many things lol. The 5D3 was such a pivotal camera in my life, to the point where I've been having a hard time bringing myself to sell despite the fact that I don't use it anymore. Your shots with the 5D1 as so sick, that black and white shot of the dude smoking at the beginning is wild. Excellent stuff as always.
I feel you. 5D3 was my first real camera and nothing’s really touched it for me since (z7ii/z9, r5, a7iv).
I have to disagree for few point but everyone Can have different experiences and can have different opinion . 5d classic is so easy to operate and settings and is really similar to other Canon DSLR models. Yes can be in first not easy to setting but after time is easier as Nikon d700. Agree nikon have lots of things easy to setup without menu but menu is nightmare compare to Classic. But overall af in classic is only 1 point on centre where in Nikon I use all 51 and 3d tracking. I will not say classic is not looks good and cheap. Is feel in hand much better and grip profile is above the nikon. I like both and both are winner. Only the bigger downside for Canon is unable to check shutter count which is always unknown. I know 1 photographer which go over 1 milion shutter counter with Nikon d700. Anyway I was sold my classic over few years ago who knows maybe will buy again 😂
Love this camera, I'm currently selling mine because I've gotten a Leica SL and I can't justify keeping both. But it creates beautiful pictures and I've taken some of my favourite portraits of my daughter with this camera and the 50mm f1.8.
I will admit that nikons were better back in the day in just about every category but the lenses were horrible ...for this reason the final results from a canon always won out
Got one for 44 quid recently. How could I not get one? Don't have the heart to tell a friend who bought his back in the day for over 2 grand. Absolute gem and a steal these days!
I tried a 50D and much prefer Nikon controls... adjusting things especially when moving to a new location with different lighting just feels more intuitive and quicker for me personally.
Hot hot tip. White Balance can be changed on the fly by using the WB button on top right above the small LCD , used along with the control wheel. :-)
body is not plasticy!! :) Magnesium. Lenses are plasticy Not the L's
I also love adapting those Olympus Zuiko lenses (pretty sure I have the exact same ones 😆😆😆). They're such a great way to bring an analog feel to digital cameras!
Very accurate comparison with Nikon D700. Thanks
Love the images you produced with it. I also got a Sigma DP2 Merrill after (among others) I saw your review of it. The images are crazy good. It's the first time I've actually viewed too much details as something negative. It would be super cool to see you review a Pentax K-1. I know you're a pentax fan. I know you're a fan of non-mainstream stuff and cameras that allow for use with older legacy glass, like Pentax also does. It's their 1 full frame camera. I love it allthough I'm also shooting with other brands, Pentax feels special.
Nice video. I have a 5D mark 1 and unfortunately an early one. My mirror came loose, and when I removed the lens to take a look, the mirror fell out and smashed! I managed to find a donor camera on eBay to strip for its mirror and effect a repair. This brings me to the point of where you said the 5D was plasticy, it is in actual fact a magnesium alloy construction. Also, just a thought on flash, I was always lead to believe that pro level bodies didn't have built-in flash? Could be wrong, it could even come down to different manufacturers choices too of course. Great camera the 5D, and one I'll never part with.
I don't like how it blows the highlights, and no, I don't think it is smooth. You should also try the Fujifilm S5 Pro if you haven't yet.
Maybe you wanna take a look at the 6D Mark I. It's has also a very distinctive look to it. The Color rendering of the 6D in comparrsion to the 5D are more warmer tones, but beautiful as hell. Give it a try, you will love it.
I have the Canon 5D Mark2 and will never sell it. There is a smoothness to the images that I love. These cameras are such a great deal these days. Thank you for this review.
I had a 5Dmkii.
Loved the camera but it was too heavy for me.
And the CF card was a bit annoying too.
I love that you did this comparison. As a life long Nikon shooter (SLR and DSLR) and finding my way Back to using my older DSLRs. I am considering picking up the D700 as I never owned that one but (shhhh, don't tell anyone), I have recently been intrigued with older Canons for their sensor output. Thank you for the color output comparison of the two but now I am wondering how the original 5D compares to the original 6D in IQ/color.
On a personal side note, I was happy to see a shot of my neighborhood beach and surf point in your first photo montage of the video.
Great video and happy shooting. 😊
So glad i found this channel . Wonderfull reviews ! You have a nice personality and i really like the photos you take.
I have always liked mine and highly appreciate that it uses the ef mount so good quality fast prime lenses are available but the size I have always found intimidating. With my small hands I find my go to tends to be micro 4/3 and I know I should learn to use my 5d classic to its full potential.
Wow that intro roll up really gets me. It's like seeing a youthful soul manifesting in images.
amazing effort and video as always! wondering how it compares to the 1D classic you also loved so much, in that video I remember you said the 5D classic is not comparable to the 1D classic, now by revisiting the 5D classic, I wonder if anything changed your mind :)
I find it funny how photographers often changes their mind..
definably 1D classic has better colors i have owned them all and i sold my 5d classic
@@mehdimohebi1509 in terms of what? I have 1D classic too but i found it to be very heavy idk if it's worth the extra weight
@@grassIand 5d is not in my list of keeper cameras anymore i sold it, 5d is not bad but there are better cameras out there, 1d classic is better in everything: focus, ergonomics, image quality , colors ,magic, art, film-like ....i also have 4 other cameras but 5d is not one of them.
@@mehdimohebi1509 thank you!
I've been a long time Nikon guy, but recently I've drunk the Canon Kool-Aide. The used prices are insane now so I've bought myself a 5D-3 (love it), a 70D for video, and I've just ordered a 6D mark 1 to compare with the 5D-3 for stills. 5D Classic? I might get there eventually.
I know this is off topic but I love your style! You always look super cool
The SOC images from the 5d classic are very pleasing. Love this camera. So simple to use so you can focus on composition.
I would love if Canon makes a re edition of the 5D in mirrorless R mount. Same sensor, same menus, same processor but in a newer node and faster clock speeds and with a video co processor to handle video tasks. Better and faster data transfer to SD or Cfexpress. Same body but with R mirrorless mount. I bet a lot of people would buy it if the price it's low enough. The sensor and processor could be cheap to make with that old specs and video and data transfer could be easy to implement from newer Canon models
I wish manufacturers would do that! Older sensor gold, bring it home baby!
To this day I still shoot weddings portraits everything with a 5DMKIV. Period.
Picture profiles on Canon are not worse than what Fuji does out of the box.
i find a lot of cheap canon 5d mark ii here, but rarely classics. was the magic already over with the mark ii?
Such a great camera but I'd say the only real flaw is the lack of an antidust system. It was just before they started coming in. I believe the D700 has one. My 40D actually took over from the 5D as my main camera as I just hadn't the time to constantly clean the 5D, especially as the main lens I used was a hoover like zoom. Since rebuying a 5D I've stuck to primes and am going to also be just shooting JPEGs with it. Same with my Fuji. Why buy an old camera known for its colours to then muck that up with raw processing. Like you said it's wasted time when they look just right anyway.
My 50D has anti dust
Reading from a card and the rest is the wiki page.......every1 can do this it shows.
The 5D Classic and 5D Mark II was Canon at its best IMO. The Classic was groundbreaking for being the first "affordable" FF digital camera and the Mark II was groundbreaking for the video it could shoot, which was not common at all at the time, and started the whole hybrid camera craze that still exists to this day. Some of my favorite photos were taken with the 5D Classic. That sensor just had a look to it Canon has never been able to reproduce and its arguably my favorite they have ever made (aside from the 6D and 5D Mark IV), and I have owned or shot with just about every digital camera they have made . Great shots here, loved the video.
I’m happy to read this. I just picked up a 5D mark II for $100!!!
@@mhogue1963 wow, that’s quite the steal!
@@michaelbell75 I shoot Olympus but I couldn’t pass on this one. Gotta find a lens for it.
My pops shoots Canon so I wanted one to help him learn his camera.
@@mhogue1963 The first easy choice would be the EF 50 f/1.8 II or STM. They are dirt cheap, especially used. Tons of great options for EF mount lenses, both native and 3rd party like Sigma and Tamron.
thanks for bringing into discussions these beauties in 2023
Just a question out of interest! Have you tried using the standard 50mm lens? I have noticed in video that you are using 50mm F1. 2 which is 100% pro glass. I need to get confirmation as I am contemplating to get myself either the Canon 5D classic or the Nikon D700. I am quite anxious to hear from you.
everyone raves about the cheapo 50mm 1.8...you can't go wrong with any of them...I have shot just the 50 1.4 on mine but favorite combo is actually with the 40mm 2.8 pancake
It’s great to see that you ain’t need everytime the latest and greatest to receive great results. Thanks for this video. May I ask which lenses beside the 50mm you did use? Have a great Sunday, cheers.
some sites say that this fault is present up to the mid " 2 " serial numbers which mine is and i noticed the mirror was separating slightly on its leading edge as soon as i got the camera i applied some superglue via a scalpel between the mirror and shutter plate squeezed it slightly so the mirror seated properly on the shutter plate and its been going perfectly ever since with no focus issues............it sounds like a horrific thing to do but i modify , build and restore cameras for fun so after watching the u tube videos to me it just became another simple repair job so i just super glued it and moved on to the next project, apparently thats how they repaired them in the day , .....Id never sell my 5d or my d 700
The 5D bidy is magnesium alloy, not plastic.
Oh my, that’s about the 3rd camera I bought after, or actually, WHILE watching your video about it... 🙈😊. Had been quite interested in it since getting more into dslr’s from that era and with this I couldn’t help but pull the trigger. Looking forward to try it!
You have a great and creative review as usual and always! The wedding photos that you showed are bordering on art. By the way, you can put an alternative Magic Lantern firmware on the camera, one of the useful functions is to add color to the LCD monitor. Greetings from spies from the RF)))
Oh fun! I remember magic lantern but never tried it!
@@OneMonthTwoCamerasOn the first 5d, the firmware does not bring much, but a couple of functions are very useful)
Love the video. The picture 1:03 mark actually made me say out loud "Holy S*%t". :). Stunning.
Can a 128GB CF card work with the 5D?
i watch these video just to feel like my 5D iii is better camera :D
Hi @OneMouthTwoCameras, could you share the JPEG settings you used on your Canon 5D Classic?
I don’t have the timestamp right now, but if you watch the video, I show all the JPEG settings in it
I had the classic for a couple of years. I agree about the colors, at ISO 800 and below. The AF and general sluggishness eventually got to me and I sold it. Six months later I had an opportunity to pick up the Mark II for a really good deal and felt like it was what I’d hoped the classic would be. Much more reliable performance, same great colors (to my eye) and actually usable ISO 1600. Plus the huge bump in resolution meant more flexibility. I love the Mark II and don’t expect I’ll part with it.
Would you say, the markII has the same colour rendition, of the Classic?
How cool is Moro Rock hej? ;-) Once I returned from the Rock to the parking, and was greeted by a bear! Plus driving out of the Park I saw a big bobcat on the wall next to the road. Love Sequoia NP :-)
Thanks. Please can we make videos with Canon 5D mark 1 ?😢
No video came on the 5DII
I bought the 5D in 2008 and combined with the 24-70 f 2.8L and the 50 f 1.8 STM, it continues to be my main camera. I don't need 1000 focus points, I don't shoot in bursts, I don't care about shooting in the dark. And it is fortunate, because under these conditions the merits remain. I simply adore the naturalness of the images I get, the colour, the cleanliness. Has digital technology improved in recent years?, yes, but also no, IMHO.

if a camera was good on day 1 it'll be good forever
I find built-in Flashes absolutely hateful things. They turn great cameras into Kodak 110 Cameras. Any budget flashgun is preferable. Yongnuo do superb Speedlights for not so much money.
Put some thin layer of fabric onto it. Maybe some very thin synthetic one, with any colour you want, it makes it less harsh.
@@collapsingruins That's not the issue. Built-in flashes are too close to the plane of the lens, so they produce awful shadows and red-eyes.
Love mine so much. I have this issue, though, with the red focus confirmation lights in the viewfinder being very faint. Not the af-Illuminator, but the little red boxes on the focus points. Is this a common issue for other owners? I’m tempted to try a different copy, but everything else about the camera is great.
I REALLY should NOT be buying any gear anymore... yet just recently I've got both a Canon EOS 5D (with EF 24-85/3.5-4.5 USM and 40/2.8) and a Nikon D700 (with AF-S 24-85/3.5-4.5 ED VR and AF 24/2.8D, AF 35/2D, AF 50/1.4D and AF 85/1.8D). It's all your fault ;P Seriously though - thank you for so many passionate and interesting materials on YT, keep up the good work :) Cheers from Warsaw, PL!
I just bought mine some months ago. .. Queen Mum, CCD-Sensor, low ISO only, so I accompanied it with a SIGMA Art 24 - 35 2.0 mm. Now I'm looking for fast primes, like EF 50 1.4, EF 85 1.8 etc. Any other ideas? Would a manual lense like the Zhongyi Creator 135mm F2.8 II be any good?
The colors really are beautiful. Also the highlight roll off is impressive, though I will say it’s too bad it doesn’t have more dynamic range. If it did, I might even be tempted... :) But even with the ~11.1 stops of DR (according to DXOmark), the images come out much better then one might expect! Amazing what Canon did with the sensor technology of its time!
