Introduction    Specifications    Performance    Compared    Recommendations. The Canon 5. D is sharper than the $5,0.

Nikon D3 or D7. 00, and the 5. D sells for about $8. The Canon 5. D was the world's best portrait and landscape camera for under $8,0. The images look fantastic, and it runs forever on a single charge. Unlike pro cameras, it's light enough to want to take in your backpack everywhere to bring back extraordinary images. How good is it? The 5. D doesn't handle as fast as a Nikon and isn't built anywhere near as tough as a pro Nikon, but if your subject holds still and you aren't shooting in the rain, the 5.

D easily can exceed the technical quality of anything from Nikon. Here's a snapshot made on the lowest JPG setting. Click the image for the original 1. MP file from my 5. D. On 1. 7 September 2. D was been replaced by the EOS 5. D Mark II, which takes the same pictures, but has far superior ergonomics and a fantastic LCD.

Today, this 5. D is a steal used. I love my Canon 5. D. I love it so much that I've been so busy shooting with it these past 1. I'm a sucker for a bargain, so I bought my 5. D on November 1. 5th, 2. Adorama back when Canon was offering a $6. I thought the rebate signaled a new model, but I was wrong and lucked out.

I've made about 1. D (or maybe it's 2.

I love its vivid color (when set to my standard of +3 saturation) and its pure image quality. When printed big (much bigger than 1. This all comes from the Full Frame Advantage. Bigger sensors or film easily make for higher technical quality images. Look at the example files to see what I saw that had me running out to go shoot with the 5.

D instead of writing about it. When my Nikon D3 hits my hands it probably will have the same image quality and better ergonomics, but costs double and weighs a lot more. If you want a 5. D, I wouldn't wait around. Fall 2. 00. 7 colors are here, and my 5. D is the best I've got before the leaves blow off the trees. Advantages of the 5.

DMy 5. D has immaculate image quality beyond anything in smaller formats. Of course none of this matters unless you get the far more important basics of lighting and composition out of the way first, and then it only matters if you print large and look too closely, but for those of you who care, just get a 5.

D. Not only is resolution and sharpness far beyond any smaller format camera due to the practical limitations I discuss in the Full Frame Advantage, but if you want no noise, the 5. D goes down to ISO 5. I like this because it matches Fuji Velvia when I'm shooting both at the same time. My 5. D seems to have limitless battery life: I get over 1,0.

Disadvantages of the 5. D I prefer the ergonomics and usability of my Nikons.

The 5. D is klunkier and slower to give results. It has no Auto ISO, so I have to jack the ISO around manually for each shot, although I can do it without removing my eye from the finder. Its body may look nice, but doesn't fit my hand.

My D2. 00 fits like a glove, while my fingers hurt after holding the 5. D for any length of time. The 5. D has controls in places not intuitive or easy to touch. For instance, I have to use a second hand to hit the depth- of- field preview since its on the wrong side.

It's easy to shoot my Nikons with one hand, but difficult and painful to try to do the same with my 5. D. Dim and color- innacurate LCD (same as Canon 3. D.) The $4. 00 (body) Nikon D4. Slow data transfer via the 5. D's USB port. Things I'd change in my 5.

D: The worst part of my 5. D is its vomity- greenish- cyan LCD.

Colors look like crap on my 5. D's LCD, so I have to guess while shooting. Colors desaturate as they get brighter on the LCD, even though the actual recorded image is fine. It's as if the video circuitry is clipping the highlights of each channel before they get to the LCD; I'll have to experiment - but whatever the reason, it's much worse than the Canon point and shoots! The LCD is also of lower contrast than the new Nikons.

I use my LCD to set color and exposure as I shoot which gives me printer- perfect JPGs directly out of my 5. D without needing to jerk around in RAW, so I wish the LCD was up to it. I fly blind, as I did with film, with my 5. D. I'd love it to be a joy to hold and use, like the Nikons whose industrial design is done by Giorgetto Giugiaro.

I'd love to have an easier way to set manual custom white balances, something Canon does extremely well on their compacts and the XL video cameras, but requires way too many button presses on their SLRs. I'd love to have smart programmable Auto ISO. I'd love to have faster data transfer via the USB port, and preferably, a Firewire 8. I'd love for the 5. D to pop up as a drive instead of only being able to download from it through software. I'd love to be able set my camera to add my .

I'd love more visible finder readouts. The finder digits of my 5. D are too skinny and too dim to read in bright light. I can't see the top of a camera when it's on a tall tripod.

I'd love a new flash exposure control system that nails every flash exposure perfectly as my Nikons do. I'd love it if Canon gave us more C1, C2, C3, etc. The one C setting on my 5. D is pure genius. Having more of them would let me shoot much faster. Canon 5. D vs Nikon D3 at High ISOs 0.
