Digital camera reviews of Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens
Digital camera Review: Don't forget the full-sized chip
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
The pros: Picture quality is astounding, viewfinder is bright, and high ISO performance is excellent. Thanks to the full-sized chip, I've shot at 1000 without any problems and it should have very low noise at 1600. The full-sized chip also provides prospects of great "bokeh" (if the lens is good enough), which is the out-of-focus areas truly being out of focus (and less distracting).
The cons: Weight, older technology, and sluggish focus performance. I have found that if I turn on only one focus zone, it does much better. Of course, then I have to reposition the camera and squeeze the shutter release the rest of the way. Hey, I hear the 5d Mark II has the same problem, so I hear you'll need to go Nikon to avoid this. This is the obvious camera if you truly love your 24-70 L and 70-200 L 2.8 glass. If you have no lenses, many people on dpreview.com seem to say to go Nikon. One interesting comment there said that Nikon does better at the wide angles and have lenses that favor cropped viewfinders (smaller chips). On the other hand, they said that Canon has better teles and their lenses favor full-sized viewfinders. So even if I had it to do over, I'd probably go Canon.
