Fabulous review, you really know your stuff!
@@NormSpupsEntertainment 🤔😁
Did a little video yesterday on my channel looking at some files from this camera and how lightroom interprets them
If it works. Go for it. A hundred year old camera is still worth it.
I still have mine, had two for a while. While I have a 6D for astro work, the 5 is the digital equivalent of a K1000. It's a tank, and everything that comes out of it looks like film. It really is an amazing camera!
Technology has made amazing steps forward but this is still my favorite camera in most ( not all but most ) applications
The problem I had was dust too easily got in. Expect frequent sensor cleans.
If you wanna take pictures, of course.
Canon make great printers!, any camera that takes a picture is worth it. Like you know ive gone back to film, which in my opinion is far more satisfying than digital. congratulations on the 1k mate keep going.
Nice video, glad that church steeple came out level in the end. Very good information. Don't worry about the mirror, if it goes, it probably will go suddenly, mine did. I superglued it back on using 4 tiny dots one in each corner, applied pressured for 30 seconds or whatever the glue instructions said to do, it has been fine for years now. The only odd thing I ran into was that I needed to upgrade the firmware to whatever the last version was in order to deal with larger CF cards. Had the very original old firmware and it shot fine onto a larger card but had a problem during review on the camera, new firmware took care of that just fine.
Best wishes! Good work!
@@johnjon1823 Thank for the info. I'm glueing it soon to make sure 👍
As I recall, Canon announced a recall to fix the mirror problem. Took mine to the repair shop at Canon headquarters in Auckland's North Shore and they fixed it free... a long time ago.
@@karenauntipode2684 I missed that meno 🤔
You mean before Canon lost its way as regards build quality, the bodies that they are coming out with now are nothing short of scandalous for the price that hard working photographers have to pay for.
@@b.2221 At my age you don't get to fondle a younger Canon very often so I haven't really noticed. So I guess you're right. Everything seems to be be made for a high turnover, just to keep us upgrading and spending more than we need to.
I bought the 5D not that long after it came out, iirc I got it in 2006, paid EUR 2300,- after cash back. This year I bought an R6, paid EUR 1300,- after cash back.
Granted, the R6 was already replaced by the R6 mkII, but at that price new it was IMO quite a bargain. The R6 is a completely different experience, especially in terms of AF, including EF lenses (add the cost of the adapter). If you take into account inflation the 5D was more expensive than R6, even on release. R5 is another story, but these cameras are not comparable anymore. A couple of years ago I bought another used 5D, mint condition at EUR 130,- which is a steal, imo. The only feature I really miss, besides a back focus button is AF adjust - the reason why I replaced my original 5D, tired of sending in lenses for recalibration. The 17-40L was one of my first zooms, never really used it that much, good value for money though, although today I would recommend a 16-35/4 IS instead, if you can afford the difference. If you are not picky (pixel peeping etc) there is hardly any bad gear, just buy what you can afford and enjoy. Especially used you can get some real bargains.
This camera isn’t built great either and the ergonomics aren’t good. I love the photos but it’s not an exactly a joy to use like my Nikon d200. I’m sure that canons pro bodies were better but to claim this thing is built well just isn’t true. It’s cheap plastic crap too..
My first digital camera, my mirror fell off, I simply glued it back on ,and even bought a second one cheap with the same problem and glued that one on as well , I got some beautiful results, thanks for the video
Great sensor. I revisited this camera again recently, but the auto focus was so slow and bad in any low light I decided it wasn't worth it for me.
@@SteveHartmanVideos Have you tried going old school. Manual focus with a dark cloth over your head. 🤔
If I was taking my time with things, I would be interested in getting one of these - as I usually shoot in the moment, I shan't - though I wonder if the 2nd version is faster to acquire focus?
@@DrZeeple When you say 2nd Version I assume you mean 5D Mark II, which has better focusing on the external focus points. Still not the best. But the most consistent one is still the centre square on both types of cameras.
It's perfectly usable, you have more missers but it's satisfying
It turns out that the red dot does not appear on the focus point when focusing. I thought it was just my camera that was broken. It turns out it is a common problem.
@@user-my2lq1cz4y you can always turn on the bleep sound, that helps.
To be truthful, I would get a 5D mark II ,I loved mine had it for many years and although I have many other cameras , including a R5 Canon I still take it out a lot when testing lens or just everyday photo's...
@@kibbsnowden6893 I'm still using my 5D Mark II now as my main camera. But would use the 5D Mark I Classic for infrared and portraits. It's got a look.
As someone who recently got a 5d Mark II, I'm not really sure how people use it. Auto-focus often can't focus on eyes, no golden hour photography works without grainy 3200 iso, even manually focusing on eyes seems to produce blurry results at f8.0.
I must be doing something wrong that new cameras do for me.
@@HeyJD123 Low light people photography is beyond the 5D 2 it's one up from a film camera. Set the focus point on the centre square, then use the view finder focus recompose method or Live View at 10X in manual. You're lens might need to be focus sinked / calabrated with the camera (I think that's what it's called. Might be wrong) I wouldn't use any ISO above 1600. Check the diopter is right for your eyes.
@andrewfindlayphoto Thanks a lot for your tips! I'll try them out. I'll also try out the lens calibration
I had a 5dm2 but it soon developed a line in pic at high magnifications so traded for 5dm3 which is a much better camera with better video by far. The 5dm2 had terrible moire patterns in video without special anti aliasing filter attached to sensor. But much better is new Canon R8. Focus is wonderful and much improved video that can actually track subjects.
I changed two cards and updated the firmware, both showed:“update file canont be found please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again”
@@user-my2lq1cz4y Don't know what that problem is, but if the card is over 8Gb it might not work. The info is somewhere on TH-cam or the web. Jon Jon in the comments mentioned it.
How did people in the past take photos of themselves alone? This is unimaginable to me
@@user-my2lq1cz4y Put it in manual focus on a tripod. Focus on the ground where you will be standing. Put the 10 second delay on. Push the shutter and run to that spot 🤣. Small mirror on a carboard L shape in hotshoe. You used to be able to get a monitor that plugs into the HDMI.
I just bought a basically new 80d to replace my old ass rebel T series. I still dream of full frames.😂😂😂😂😂
Images are labelled 5d Mark II, shouldn't it say Mark I or 5D classic? Or did you revert to the Mark II while shooting?
@@johnjon1823 Dam it. I forgot to change them. Thanks for letting me know. 🤯 All Mark I
Still worthy in 2024!
