Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

I have taken some great photos on this camera. Its come down in price since I got mine a year ago so its even better value now. Good lenes are not cheap so expect to spend the same amaount again just on a couple of good lenses but for around $5k you should aquire a good kit. Battery life is very good. Build quality is strong. This is the one a lot of pros use. Only problem is when you fill up a memory stick with a bunch of 13meg photos, make sure you have a good enough PC to view them on because it sure slows down to a near halt. That's where a MAC comes in use.

and I've owned a ton of cameras. too many features to get into about this wonderful piece of equipment. Buy it...you won't be disappointed.

What can you say? World class camera, phenomenal lens? Best of the Canon series ever? Everything and more?
Only question is obvious, workhorse camera that has been issued for several years now. What will be it's replacement? Hard to believe there will be a better performing camera for the dollar value. As to the lens: it far exceeds many other in the EF line and is well worth the investment.

Probably like most people that are waiting for that "phantom" 5d MKII, I couldn't wait no more. The rebate pushed me over the edge. I'm glad I took the plunge. This camera rocks! I'm so glad I upgraded. I'm sure the next version is gonna have all the bells and whistles, but this has become a legendary camera. Everyone has already gone over the specs and likes and dislikes. I just want to say anyone waiting for the new version and wondering if they got this, would they be happy......be assured you will be VERY happy.

I am a pro photographer that has been using the 20 and 40d. The full frame sensor opened up a new world for my photography and lenses. I am especially impressed with the detail I'm getting out of the shadows in my images.
