Outstanding Image Quality in an Old Body.......2007-12-23
I bought my 5D & 24-105mm L lens back in May 2007 largely based on the results and comments I saw in the various reviews on the Internet. At the time I had the Canon 30D with pretty much all the EF-S lenses. So, I decided to move to full frame digital with the 5D and 24-105L lens forming its base.
The 5D produces some really outstanding images with the 24-105L (and other) lens, but images are not truly distinguishable from or remarkably better than what I had been getting from my 30D. The improvement is certainly not worth the difference in camera price. Perhaps it's because my enlargements are never bigger than 8.50" x 11". Regardless, since I sold all my EF-S lenses and the 30D I feel pretty entrenched with my decision.
Please don't get me wrong. The build quality and resulting images from the 5D are top notch. However, the Canon 5D feature set has become downright old in the over two years it has been on the market. The 5D menu system was replaced with the introduction of the XTi, 1DM3, and 40D. Canon recognizes this as evidenced by the steep discounts they have been offering on the 5D over the past few months. Don't get me wrong, the 5D is more camera than I am experienced enough to really get from it. I also like the fact I don't have to do the math when buying a lens to make sure I get the image coverage I am used to getting from my 35mm film days.
Now would be an ideal time to buy the 5D. As long as the buyer recognizes that in exchange for a full frame CMOS sensor and outstanding image, the camera has a smaller than advertised image buffer, slow 3 fps top burst speed, and relatively slow image transfer rate to their computer.
If I had to do all over again I really think I'd stay with the APS-C sensor based camera because Canon seems to be putting the majority of their development dollars into the APS size sensor based platforms. The higher noise these smaller sensors are inclined to produce has been effectively designed around by Canon.
This is a common problem with quickly evolving technologies; do I buy now and get a terrific product knowing full well it will be heading toward obsolescence in less than 2 years? One solace I do have is the L and other EF lenses I bought this year will not be obsolete anytime soon.
I still enjoy my 5D but I use my new 40D more. If Canon comes out with it's FF replacement for the 5D in 2008 I will take a good hard look at it, and if my past performance is any indication of the future, I'll buy it fully knowing the irrationality of my action. Good thing photography is a hobby for me.
The Canon 5D and the 24-105L lens make an ideal do-it-all combination. It just that you can get substantially the same image quality and focal length coverage for considerably less money. And for some that matters.
Good camera..but beware quality control.......2007-12-10
I've owned this camera for about 2 years and its been kept in a Pelican case for most of that time as I don't get to shoot too often. When I do shoot, its for business and therefore I need the camera to work. Apparently users in warm and/or humid climates have been reporting that the reflex mirror simply falls out one day during normal operation. I found this out because it happened to me and I was completely surprised to find out that other users on dpreview had the same problem.
It seems (from comments on dpreview) that Canon fixes the problem for free even for out of warranty cams but I have yet to send mine in..oh yes there's no international warranty so if you're not near a Canon service center you're screwed. SO if you get this camera..and it works great otherwise get the following: the bonuses that come with registering, "L" series lenses and a backup cam for paying jobs especially if you live in a warm/humid climate.
Oh and 3 of the 5 5D owners that live in this area have had the same problem..its not a limited issue.
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.
Dream Digital for Wide-Angle.......2007-11-26
If you also shoot wide-angle, welcome: This is our camera.
I've been a serious photographer since my teen years in the 1970s and early-on adopted the 24-mm wide-angle as my "signature" lens. Consequently, I was disappointed when the digital SLR revolution took off without regard to wide-angle lenses. A 1.6 crop factor is worthless for those of us who work in-tight and up-close. Personally, I haven't understood why the industry (Hello, Nikon?) adopted anything but full-frame sensors from the start, or even yet (Hello, Leica?). But for wide-angle shooters, a full-frame sensor is absolutely fundamental to the beast.
This camera, which I've had for over a year, is better than I ever anticipated. I am not a machine-gun firing in-the-rain sports photographer, so I can't speak to things important to those needs. But as a journalistic-style travel photographer, who captures the intimate joys of everyday life, I am exceptionally pleased with how relatively compact and light-weight it is (a tad heavier than my EOS film cameras; significantly smaller -- and much, much less expensive -- than other full-frame digitals). I am very pleased with how well it handles ISO's of 800 and 1600.
But, fundamentally, for me, it is the full use of my wide-angle lenses (especially the phenomenal Canon 24mm 1.4 "L" lens) that keeps me smiling with every trip of the shutter and every review of its results. Canon, unlike Nikon and Leica, could've left me and a whole segment of its wide-angle shooters behind, forever stuck with our film cameras. But Canon didn't. And not only that, they brought us along with an incredibly great all-around camera for ALL our lenses (including the fabulous shift/tilt architectural lenses that also can't be used with crop-factor sensors).
Whether you can or cannot afford the 24mm "L" lens, I also highly recommend the nicely priced, super-sweet 20-35mm EF zoom to go with this body -- for those who want and need their wide-angle lenses.
Thank you, Canon! (Good luck, Nikon and Leica.)
Great Camera.......2007-11-20
Went from a 6MP Rebel to the 20D to this and all have been great, but this is the best.
Be warned, you will be very tempted to buy better glass. This camera is so sharp you notice the softness in your lenses.A perfect example is my 28-70 f2.8 Sigma It is the sharpest lens I have and I have made some wonderful 11&14 prints with the 20D. On this camera the images look almost soft. So I have a 17-40L on order, and want the 70-200 also, If the wife doesn't kill me first. [Both tried at the local camera shop]
Learn to clean your sensor - this is a dust magnet. I am always very careful when changing lenses and have already had to clean this one in the first week!
Images are the bottom line, and this camera really shines there. 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. You can almost count the pores on peoples faces, and my macro flowers are so real you can almost smell them.
You've read the reviews, now buy this thing........2007-11-20
Like most of the folks that are reading this review I tend to do a fair amount of research before making a purchase, any purchase. Well four years ago I picked up the original Canon 300D Digital Rebel. It was a great camera to learn with and I still enjoy looking back at my progress over the years.
If you read any forums or discussions on photography web sites you will no doubt find that most experienced photog's will tell you to spend your money on glass before the camera itself. That's the path I took and I could not be happier now that I have a great body to go with some great lenses.
Instead of upgrading my archaic 300D (pushing a strong 6.5MP, useless above 400 ISO, in my opinion) over the years I've upgraded glass with a 15MM f/2.8 fisheye, 24-70 f/2.8L, 70-200 f/2.8L IS and a really sweet cheap lens - 50MM f/1.8 (everyone should have this lens, buy it now if you don't already have it).
Finally I had the focal ranges covered (for now) but I really hated how long my 24-70 was on my Rebel. This is the only reason I went for the 5D instead of the 40D. Honestly, most people will never know the difference between 10MP and 12MP or 3fps and 6fps. A full frame sensor is a whole new game when compared to a crop camera. Believe the hype.
Aside from the fact that my wide angle lenses are now actually "wide" the high ISO blew me away on this thing. Crank this sucker up at 1600 and 3200 and take some photo's in low light, without a flash. Go ahead, try it. Incredible.
So far this camera is worth every penny. My only complaint would be that the on/off switch is a pain to use but I'm betting they do that to prevent you from turning it off accidentaly. I guess I also wish the ISO was displayed somewhere without having to press the button. And finally, like others have said, who really wants that direct print button?
If you are trying to decide between the 40D and the 5D consider your lenses. If you like long zooms, sports, etc. you will likely want the 40D. If you enjoy wide angle lenses, don't need the burst rates and can see the value of the full frame - get the 5D. Also, if you don't want to find yourself "needing" a Canon L lens or two, don't go full frame just yet.

Meade 7X18 Binocular with Built In CompassMeade 7x18 folding roof prism design binocular, 7power, 18mm objective lens design. Independent eyepiece focus for differentranges/o
Amazon.com Product Description
Get a better view whether traveling through a wildlife preserve, watching your favorite baseball team, or just surveying the neighborhood with these compact Meade DCS binoculars. Boasting a power of 7x and an 18mm objective lens design, the lightweight binoculars (they weigh only 4.1 ounces) are terrific for daytime viewing, though the small lens diameter makes them somewhat less useful when the lighting is poor. The binoculars also feature fully coated single-layer optics for clear viewing and a comfortable 10.5 mm of eye relief. More importantly, the field of view stands at 488 feet at a distance of 1,000 yards, with a near focusing distance of 15 feet. As a result, all but the most distant objects look crisp and vivid.
The binoculars don't offer a single focus control, but instead sport an independent focus mechanism on each eyepiece, giving users more influence over the final image--an especially nice feature for folks with vision impairments. And to ensure that the binoculars hold up to heavy use, Meade coated the housing with durable black rubber. The DCS binoculars, which measure 3 by 1.5 by 2.5 inches (W x H x D), come with a soft nylon carrying case, neck strap, and lens cleaning cloth. They're also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Beware.......2006-02-13
Watch out! These are made in China and mine had an inherent defect. The barrels are so misaligned that the combined image is a double. This can't be easily fixed, and Meade charges $20 for warranty repairs. Very disappointing that Meade would sell such trash. As an astronomer I have spent $$$ on Meade scopes, but will give serious consideration to Celestron now.

Over priced clearance item! $79?! Not even worth $15!.......2006-02-08
I bought this one because it's light weight (4.1 oz.). I was looking for a small binoculars for my 4-year-old son. With the original price almost $80, "It must be good!" I thought! I paid $15 during Friday Sale. I thought I got bargain until I received it today with huge disappointment. It's hard to focus by adjust each eye, hard to see clear with tiny small lenses. I felt tense after using it for a while, don't even mention my young son will know how to use it! My daughter has a Canon 8x23A, which is in very good quality and easy for kids to use. After doing some search, I found Meade outlet is selling this Meade DCS 7x18 on eBay for $7.95 with free shipping due to this item is a closeout! This binoculars will be good for watching plays, shows, concert, whichever doesn't require focusing too often.
