This camera is lightweight (until you add the battery grip), comfortable in your hand, and very adapt to wedding photographing. The ability to shift white balance settings, use a custom registered list of camera settings, and the film mimic profiles make this a great on the go wedding camera. It also has the unbeatable image quality of a full frame sensor. No lens conversion factor! It renders skin tones well and appears to have better dynamic range than any aps-c sized digital camera I have ever used. If your looking for good quality and don't want to spend the [$] for the 1ds mk 11 look no further.

Alright already -- we know its a great camera by the previous 60+ reviewers, so heres what I wish it had if I wrote a letter to Mr. Canon himself:- Can we see an ultrasonic dust removal system like the Rebel Xti ? Probablly in the works as we speak.- I know some pros turn their noses up at a built-in flash, but its no fun carrying this around all day w/a speedlite flash protruding from the top either.- No weather-sealing ? How about me trading in that "Print" button on the camera body no one uses and giving me some seals ?- Tough time with accurate focusing in low-light situations w/o an external flash. Other than the above, what more can you ask for. Most everyone who owns that thing loves it.

A great camera for the money. I would like it to be a faster and better sealed but then again, it's not $[...]. I use it everyday with a problem so far.

I've spent over a week with my Canon 5D now....it's not a steep learning curve in getting used to all its features. The most important exposure and focus controls are all at your fingertips. And I love how you can have lots of manual control: even setting up your own custom exposure and color temp settings. This is my forray into digital: before, I just had my old Canon AE-1 from high school and college photo classes. There was no reason to upgrade to film based EOS system with the simple and tough AE-1. With the full sized digital sensor, I knew that this would be the digital camera that could better it!

With the 70-200 2.8f IS lense it is a bit Heavy, but it takes great photos.
I'm able to extend the ASA to 3200 for great indoor action shots with no flash.
The outdoor Track & Soccer season is about to begin, I can't wait.
Great Camera, with lots of options.

Great camera and at 12.8 megapixels is excellent for enlargements. Big LCD panel is nice, easy to use. Only negative is it does not have it's own built in flash (and professional cameras can include this!) which is nice for fill and so on.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

The reason to buy a 5D is for its smooth tonality and color rendition, very much like med. format images. Resolution is very fine too. Available light photographers will love this camera! I hate PP, I prefer to shoot perfect JPEGs in the camera. No need to clean up 5D JPEGs for noise, color, Hurray! Nothing else up to this price level comes close, NOTHING! I say this after owning Nikons for 39 years and having owned no less than 3 Nikon DLRs.

I bought this camera for my wife who uses it professionally. The 30D just could not hold a candle to the noise handling or skin-tone rendering of the 5D. There are, however, things I would have liked to see with this camera. Weather sealing for a $[...] camera should have been a no-brainer. I also think that Canon should get creative and include radio transmitters in their high-end bodies to trigger flash units remotely. (That isnt a flaw of the camera...just thought I would throw that out there, as it's hard to find many flaws with this camera). With that said...there is not much out there that can compete with the image quality that this camera can produce.

Resolution is top notch, color saturation is very good, camera is fast and easy to use. I found dust spects in the view finder of all cameras sent to me (3), luckily they do not appear on the image. Focusing is better than the 10D, but still has some trouble in low light situations.

Great camera!!! We use this mostly for on-site portrait sessions, and have had unbelievable results. Do not put cheap glass on this camera, you will not see what it can really do.

This is probably the best full frame digital camera on the market today for the price. Quality product and easy to use. This camera is a great compliment to the EOS 1D I use for my sports/action photography.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

Exceeds expectations. Full frame sensor makes all my lenses (which are still compatible) just like my days of using film. Color reproduction is fantastic. The camera is complicated (easier if you've had a Canon SLR digital before). Like Photoshop, I first master the basics then add new skills.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

There is a 'smoothness' to the images that this camera produces that rivals (or beats) the results I got with my 645. The files are big enough for all of my uses, but not so big that they pose storage or workflow issues. The camera body has a feel that is really solid (compared to the 20D and 30D) and the controls are obvious and ergonomic (like the other Canon DSLRs). For some reason the focusing screen and viewfinder seem especially susceptible to dust... and the sensor is also very attractive to dust... moreso than any other DSLRs I've used. All in all, a really amazing camera. If Canon included the anti-dust mechanisms (like the Rebel has) to this camera it would be flawless.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

Camera is small to hold for large hands. Need to get a battery grip for more stable handling especially with heavy lens.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

Have used this camera for several months now and it performs flawlessly. Sensitivity on colors is better then the 1DS Mark II. 2.5 inch back screen is bright and good for most quick reviews. Little or no noise even up to 800 ISO and it is FULL frame which is great for those wide shots. Now that the Contax N series glass can be adapted to Canon EOS there may be no better landscape camera unless you want to pop for an H3.

Love everything about this camera except when changing lenses it seems to suck in loads of dust into the center, getting on the sensor and in the view finder, much more than in the Canon 20d.

This camera exceeded all my expectations. The resolution is superb, I love the way it renders colors, the speed of response and generally the feel and substance of its balance in my hands. I bought the battery grip accessory so that bulks it up some more, adds to the weight and looks very professional

[...] this one is phenomenal, works as described, shoot travel, high school sports with non L and L primes, every lens that was "soft" before on previous 5D bodies, now was critically sharp again, easily make 20x30 or bigger on my 7600 printer. Shot well over 10K images so far, and going strong. Glad I stuck with it, but really feel either the chip registration in body was off, or there are defective focusing engines out there, either way a product quality control issue to say the least. [...] this should not be happening, Canon you should be ashamed....anyway great camera if you get a good body....

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

I love the 5D. The picture quality as compared to my old 10D is night and day. The noise, even when shooting at ISO 1600, is very manageable. I've even had ISO 3200 shots turn out useable after a session with noise ninja.

The fact that it has a full frame sensor is both good and bad. Good, in that wide angle shots are not artificially zoomed, which is great for landscapes. Also the relatively huge sensor is one reason that noise is so low. Bad, in that I find I miss the extra reach when shooting wildlife. On my 10D, my 100-400 was really a 160-640. That's a lot of extra reach. I am toying with the idea of getting a 30D to add to my camera bag for long telephoto work.

The Canon 5D is truly remarkable. Although it is not cheap, it is far more affordable than the other full sensor Canon digital cameras. Finally the avid photographer with a stable full of quality Canon lenses can use them to their full potential. The 5D has a solid feel that just seems to exude quality. I love it.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

I bought this camera after I had been the happy owner of an EOS 10D for several years. I did not expect the huge increase in spead powering up and focusing and the tremendously improved image sensor (over a camera I tought was very good already). Even at high ISO speeds, there is virtually no color noise. Low light image quality is good, but the camera does have problems focusing in that circumstance. The previously included IR sensor has been omitted from this camera since it has no build in flash. When using the dedicated Canon 580EX speedlite though, this problem is completely overcome.
I took this camera on an extended trip to Europe last summer, and had no technical or photographic problems.
I highly recommend this camera for anybody with more then just a casual interest in photography.

The Canon EOS 5D has many of the features of Canon's top of the line camera at about 1/3 the price. It also has the same dimensions as a traditional SLR. Somewhat make me miss my old A-1. Has many features that aren't too difficult to understand.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

The Olympus E-1 has much better ergonomics however the resolution, high ISO capability, and "full frame" sensor make the 5D well worth its cost. Ultra-wide digital lenses have limited availability (Zuiko 7-14 is an incredible lens) making the 5D a valuable way to use lenses such as Nikon 15/3.5, Zuiko 18mm, and Zuiko 24mm perspective control.

Hasn't solved the instrinsic problems of low-light photography with a digital sensor (too easy to introduce artifacting via the needed processing of dim shots). But everything else else fine for an emerging pro shooter: big bright viewfinder and LCD screen, very accessible fine-tuning controls (such as for exposure and flash compensation), and excellent uncorrected image quality. Given 12+ MP, and a more compact package, there's little need to be tempted by the larger, heavier models.

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

The high resolution allows tight cropping, giving the equivalent of using a telephoto lens , or effectively increasing the focal length of the lens in use by a factor of 2 or 3.
I especially like the larger lcd screen and the use of the joystick for examining zoomed images on the screen.
The only downside I have found is that there are so many features I must carry the user manual "just in case".

Having spent 15 years shotting slide film...and the last 5 years with the 10D and 20D it's great to be shooting with a full size sensor again. Image quality is outstanding with the 12.8 megs and the controls are just where you would expect them to be. The only thing I could ask for would be a few more fps shooting speed.

I have a 20D as well and I like the added megapixels (4.8 more) and the 1.0 sensor for those wide angle shots. The body is very rugged which is good for nature and wildlife work. The colors are very nice too.
The price is a little high if you compare it to some of the other nice DSLRs on the market, like the Rebel XTI and the Nikon D80, but I'm happy with mine.

A great product, from the outside to the inside. I love the though construction and the looks and of course the fact that you have a full size sensor which lets you use your lens without adding focal distance. It may be great if it had a flash, but wouldn't change it ig this meant making a smaller pentaprism.

I love my 5D. Previous to this I've owned several Canon film cameras, the original digital Rebel, and the 10D. But, even on a 4x6 proof, the difference between the 5D and the 10D are obvious.

What I love most about the 5D is the full-frame (35mm) sized sensor. No more lens conversion factor. My 28mm is now a 28mm. My 15mm is now a 15mm. I simply think this is the best camera available for the price.

While my Rebel XT is so good that it has drawn me back to photography, the 5D is significantly better. Yes, it's a bit on the hefty side, but its capabilities far outweigh the increase in size and weight. I would like the option for taking the occasional shot with a flash without the need to mount one, however this lack seems to be driven by design and is not a serious limitation. Menu features are excellent and intuitive, and the camera has a solid feel.

It does me well for portraits, weddings and event photojournalism. This is not a beginner's camera though, as you will find the controls and settings to be a little tricky if you do not know what you are doing. Overall, though, this camera is amazing!

Comments about Canon Canon EOS-5D Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.8 Megapixels, Interchangeable Lens Camera - Refurbished by Canon U.S.A.:

I have the camera a couple of weeks now and shot a lot of pictures with it. This camera with a couple of "L" lenses can't be beat. The color & sharpness quality is great. The controls are easy to use and understand. And most of all it is a full frame camera (35mm). Even at 800 ISO is has very little noise. The only drawback I find is the price and you have to take care to keep the sensor clean. I also have the 350D and it has the same problem, you have to keep the sensor clean, which is normal with digital camera's. I have had a few camera's in my lifetime, however, I find the 5D just awesome. I found the 350D a teriffic camera when I first purchased it, however, the 5D will just blow it away. In my estimation Canon certainly has a winner with this camera.
