Who is using the 5D?

[Adam Goi]

Hi.

Does 5D still allow you to AF if you're pairing it up a EF 1.4X TC with a f/5.6 lens?

Ya loh ***sigh*** ***sigh*** How to get it justified for a hobby especially when the price of this camera is overblown! It has become untouchable. :bheart: :sweat:

Is that some dirt on the CMOS sensor I see in the first shot? ;p

Anyway, I'm totally blown away by the photos. Amazing detail levels I must say.
If that's the kind of landscape u can capture with a 70-200, imagine the vast expense of real estate in a 17-40!

Really drooling now. Argh....

No... actually those 'dirts' are birds flying around....what a amazing details from the full frame CMOS sensor!!!!

Nevermind lah, continue to shoot chromes. By then 10 yrs later, a full frame camera may cost about S$1,200 dollars or lesser, then make a kill... Hehehe.:bsmilie:

e)But at the same time, there were some complaints of inconsistent AF

Not likely. The AF sensor is similar to the one used in 20D. However the size of the AF sensors is now smaller relative to the size of the CMOS sensor, so the accuracy has to be increased. In fact, if you read some of the DPReview reports, you'll realize how accurate the AF sensors have become, especially for fast prime lenses. However, AF may be slightly slower in single shot mode too.

Hi Timber,

First of all, thanks for sharing those great photos. However, I've noticed very visible vignetting on the first image. Does it happens to all your photos? Cheers!

I think not many are willing to fork out for this camera as it is too expensive.

 

[JediForce4ever]

par'd this question guys....but is the 5D considered to be professional DSLR or Pro-sumer DSLR??

semi-pro, like your 20D

 

[JediForce4ever]

haha...semi-pro body with me newbie photog behind it....ahwells...

Certain Leica lenses which can be used on the 1D series cannot be used on the 5D.
Also, the Contax Distagon 18mm cannot be used too.

With the low selling price of a 1Ds, I will just keep 1Ds and wait for a better model with faster fps like the 20D. Will miss all those high ISO but ASA 800 on the 1Ds isn't that bad after all.

1Ds, ISO 800, Elmarit 28mm

Slight vignetting when shooting wide open with my 70-200@f2.8, clears up when i use f4 and above. Can be easily compensated in ps using PTLens(free) plugin.

*rant mode on

what the fish man! 13mp files are huge!, my G4 is dead meat man.

spent the whole feaking day loading pictures......

A notice for people interested in the 5D.

I am able to send 3 sets of 5D back from Japan by handcarry. Check out the consumers corner for my thread.

 

[TrailsofLife]

Straight from raw, totally unedited. Warning: Big files.

EOS 5D, EF70-200mm f2.8L IS @ 148mm, 1/250s handheld, f2.8, ISO100
Supreme Court

EOS 5D, ZENITAR 16mm FE, 1/15s handheld, f5.6 or 8 (can't remember), ISO1600
Merlion

I am surprise by the "noise" or grains? on 2nd pix...at ISO 800 for Digic 2 shouldn't be like dat....

1st pix looked underexposed so can't really judge its performance, but pretty good details.

I think I am going to hold back my money.

 

[TMC]

ISO800? thought he stated it as ISO 1600.

 

[TrailsofLife]

ISO 1600! My 20D ISO 1600 dun look so bad leh.

This is no good, man! So many people sold their 20D for it, then this kind of D30, D60 result....

Anyone complaint to Canon yet?
