Canon EOS 5D with lens Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm 1: 2.8 L IS USM
Canon EOS 5D - this is a legendary old full frame semi-professional camera (or advanced amateur - as it is convenient to count), which was produced from 2005 to 2008. My version made in japan. Canon 5D became the third camera after Canon EOS 1DS и Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II with a full-frame sensor, the Canon EOS 5D is the first in a new class of professional cameras with a lightweight body (often referred to as 'semi-pro'). Canon EOS 5D has direct descendants: this 5D MarkII, 5D Mark III и 5D Mark IV... Canon EOS 5D is often referred to simply as'first dime'or' 5D classic '.
The Canon EOS 5D has a 13.3 MP CMOS sensor, of which only 12.8 MP, which by today's standards is not so much, but 12.8 MP is enough for comfortable shooting of most photo tasks. I rarely find it necessary to use cameras with a large number of megapixels. Canon EOS 5D Captures Images 4368 by 2912 pixels (total - 12.719.616 pixels), which is enough to print pictures even on the A3-A4 format. I rarely print pictures larger than 20 x 30 cm.
Canon EOS 5D can use ISO from 100 to 1600 and expand the range to a value ISO L (ISO 50), ISO H (ISO 3200). Today you won’t surprise anyone with ISO 3200, even modern Canon cropped cameras with APS-C format sensors, for example Canon 650D, can overclock their ISO up to 25.600. But still, I want to pay tribute to the old lady Canon EOS 5D: unlike the 'inflated' ISO values of many cropped cameras, the Canon EOS 5D can actually use its ISO 1600 and even ISO 3200. In terms of noise level, the Canon EOS 5D still bypasses a lot. (if not all!) cropped cameras, such as Canon 7D, Nikon D300, Pentax K5, Sony SLT-A65 etc.
Canon 5D with booster and Canon Lens EF 50mm 1: 1.4 lens
Canon EOS 5D can shoot at speed 3 frames per second. Some argue that the speed is around 3.5 to \ s. The camera shows in the lower right corner. frame bufferequal to 9 shots (8 frames when using the ISO extended range function), but when shooting in Drive mode, you can take about 17-20 pictures in RAW format until the camera starts to slow down. In JPEG L mode, a series of shots reaches 60 frames. Generally, pretty large real frame buffer I was pleasantly surprised.
But when shooting in RAW + JPEG mode, after filling in the frame buffer, the camera goes into a stupor for a long time. In this mode, the buffer is 12 shots, the camera takes the next frame in only 10-15 seconds, which is an eternity! Using a fast memory card does not solve the problem.
Canon EOS 5D can use RAW (CR2) format only with 12 bit depth of color. RAW (CR2) files average 11 to 19 MB. JPEG L files are 2 to 10 MB on average. Canon EOS 5D uses fast cards CF. My Canon EOS 5D easily made friends with a memory card CF Transcend 32GB 400x and Transcend 32GB 133x.
Important: The data recording speed, which depends on the camera itself, is very low on the Canon EOS 5D and this cannot be corrected by using a faster memory card. One RAW file weighing about 10 MB, the camera records about one second even with the fastest CF cards.
Canon 5D Display
I liked the Canon EOS 5D excellent ergonomicsa, large monochrome backlit secondary display. The camera weighs about 900 grams with the battery and without the lens. Almost a kilogram of weight is not scary. Canon EOS 5D does not have a dust and water resistant body. Camera display 2.5 inch with 230.000 points. When working with the display, I noticed that it reproduces the real color rather poorly in the obtained photos - it is too faded. The camera's menu is quite simple, it is very easy to understand it, in this camera it became available in Russian as well.
Canon EOS 5D supports shutter speeds from 30 s to 1 \ 8000 s. For measuring exposure 35-zone sensor responds, a large number of amateur Canon cameras have a similar sensor, more about it here.
Canon 5D has just 9 focus points (and 6 more invisible auxiliary)... In the Custom Functions menu, I recommend adjusting the focus point selection with the joystick. You can read more about the focusing system installed on the Canon 5D in the 'Canon EOS Camera Focus Sensors'.
But the Canon 5D has a good large optical viewfinder with 96% coverage, working with such a viewfinder is pretty nice. The battery holds up to 1000 shots, which is pretty good.
Sample Photos
All sample photos located in the gallery below were obtained using a Canon EOS 5D camera and lens YONGNUO 50mm 1: 1.4. Some photos were taken using a polarizing filter. HOYA 58mm PL-CIR.
Personal experience
Canon EOS 5D can be regarded as used. camera option for people who want to immediately start shooting at full frame. In nature there is no cheaper and more practical option for a full-frame camera. Although, for about the same cost you can find Canon EOS-1DS. Personally, I think Canon EOS 5D is preferable Canon EOS-1DS due to its smaller size, lithium-ion battery, larger display, larger frame buffer, more adequate work with memory cards and, most importantly, more flexible capabilities for processing RAW files.
Among the shortcomings of the Canon EOS 5D, I would like to note the absence of the Live View mode, which is very useful when working with manual optics, and the small number of focus points. At the same time, the camera does not have fine adjustment of automatic focus. True, Canon EOS 5D supports replacement focusing screens.
Many people complain that the camera sensor gets dirty quickly - Canon EOS 5D does not have a matrix cleaning system. Also in the camera no HDR, built-in flash, automatic ISO control in modes P, Av, Tv, M and many modern 'gadgets'. Many photographers have easily and painlessly switched to Canon 5D after crop cameras. Personally, I liked the color rendering of the Canon 5D much more than the color rendering on my 'workhorse' - Nikon D700.
At one time, I made a mistake - instead of Canon EOS 5D (even in the used version) I bought another cropped camera. Now i highly recommend to all novice photographers who are limited in funds and who do not need various 'gadgets', including video filming, instead of buying a 'mediocre' cropped camera, get a used one. Canon EOS 5D (not new). I think that for the growth of a photographer, immediately shooting in full frame is very, very important and useful. If you are looking for some interesting and inexpensive camera with a 'beautiful pattern', then I recommend looking at the 'Legends go to battle', as well as 'Full Frame with 28 megapixels for 240 cu :)'

Nowadays, the Canon EOS 5D is morally obsolete, but still attracts with its full-frame sensor and affordable price per second. option. Canon 5D only requires full-frame Ef lenses. Canon EOS 5D even nowadays shows a great picture at low ISO. Many appreciate it for its nice color rendering.

"The photos presented in the review, as I understand it, are an in-camera jeep and have nothing to do with the picture that can be obtained by shooting in RAW format ... This camera has a good bold pixel that allows you to capture a larger number of light photons, allowing you to get very accurate color reproduction."
I agree with you, but IMHO the thing is that the new cameras really have a larger range in numbers, but because of this, such photos are more difficult to process. Because instead of removing green in the shade in the photo from the old people, you just had to turn the dark green, and from the new cameras there also appears a blue and purple hue, which remains, whatever you say green. As a result, the photo gets unnatural colors and the entire width of the DD only interferes.
Arkady, good night!
I have a theory why there are so few likes ... It's just that serious people don't use social networks :)
What about the rest?
Arkady, is it worth changing Nikon d300 to 5d?
1. Many thanks to the author for the reviews. I accidentally found a site, now I’ve been returning to it all day.
2. I fully support the idea that the technique matches the photographer. As the owner of 5D, I can say that in combination with L-kami and manual fixes it covers all my needs. Having laid hands, a good shot can be printed on the A2-A1 format.
Good afternoon, Arkady!
Thanks for your review. Very interesting camera. I would like to see the raw made by this camera. Throw off pliz on soap or a reference.
Hello! I would like to know if the 5D display is better than the D200 display?
Good blog.
Reminds bourgeois, nothing more, specifically on the topic.
Sometimes you read our forums, from thirty pages of discussion of the topic, yf 25-finding out who is smarter….
With regard to video - not worth it, it reads perfectly like this.
To the author, for selfless labor, RESPECT and respect!
Arkady, I have the opportunity to exchange my favorite cropped 550d for FF 5d. I understand that the crop didn’t even stand nearby with a full frame, but is it worth it to do just such an exchange? 550d vs 5d? Really looking forward to your reply.
I face the choice of 50d and 5d. 5d attracts with a full frame, 50d is just very good, 5d did not use. Open your eyes, please, except for the complete picture (and not trimmed as in 50d), the difference I will not see again? Or is a nickel still much better? I ask you to help with the choice, and to argue your point of view. Thanks in advance, I will be very grateful!
Arkady Hello! I want to buy a camera as the first DSLR and really want to know what noise the device produces on ISO 3200 and 1600.
And how will this bunch be (canon 5d + tamron 17-50mm f2.8 + canon 50mm f1.4)?
Tamron 17-50 F2.8 EF-S bayonet mount. Canon 5d only supports EF. So do not try to buy like that. And no offense, but you at least read a little and gain knowledge.
This tamron has an EF mount. Denis, no offense, but you read at least a little about this lens, and then write yours “no offense”. The question is that there will be vignetting on the full frame, unfortunately I cannot find photos with a vignette for the full frame. I'm looking for)))
EF mount, but the name is Di II - this means: for digital single-lens reflex cameras with an APS-C format sensor). Matrix size no more than 24 × 16mm. I agree to vignetting. Therefore, it is used only for crop.
Hello everybody! Does 5D make friends with manual, non-chip optics? Does the expopair measure?
The review does not write anything about it.
All canons (even 1200D) have metering even with non-chip optics. But confirmation of focus without a dandelion will not be again on any Canon.
I don’t know which camera to choose, Kenon 5d and 1100d? Tell me please
People, you should / shouldn't have worn out the author of the article with your questions, that he has already stopped paying attention to them. Do you have no hands or mind, drive a 5d review into Google or the camera that you think you want to take / not take and read? look at test photos, compare, draw conclusions - resources are heaped up.

Another question "can I poop or pee, Arkady tell me"
People, at least some remnants of the brain would have, huh?
But very often you can laugh at some pearls from the heart :) Thanks for the selection! I have to see all the comments from the whole site at once, and there is much better :)
Arkady, as always on top :) my favorite site in RuNet :))) but your last comment awakened my soul KVN-schika :) share the coolest comments from the site :) everyone will be interested to read and laugh :) thanks.
Great review, thanks! And those who want a dime as the first SLR a little stop: On the machine, he takes off mediocre and with exposure errors in the light. Need experience shooting MANUAL on a cropped DSLR. As well as processing RAVs on a computer. Jpeg resembles a photo from ancient non-glossy magazines. This device is not for a beginner.
Ah, these are swindlers! They write that they are selling from Sakhalin, first they received 700 re for delivery and then give them the full amount in advance. As a result, trash in the box is sent by mail - Chinese columns for the PC or some piece of plastic. Many gullibles were brought like that to Babos.
It remains only that someone 5d Mark 2 let Arkady drive, test! I really want to hear the competent opinion of an experienced person! Well, a comparison with d700!) Thanks to the author for the article!
What's the point of comparing it with the second nickel? With the naked eye, you will not notice a significant difference in the picture, well, except in the number of megapixels and the size of the picture. If there are banknotes - take immediately mark 2. 5D will be slower and more dusty, without any bells and whistles. They are better off shooting in manual mode, not everyone can do it for a beginner ... besides, they need experience with RAWs. And as it was rightly noted here, you need experience working with old cropped cameras (usually this is how they come to the first-timers).
With Nikon d700 I think it makes no sense to compare at all, this is a completely different system with its own troubles. In general, guys, my advice is: there is the Internet and there is full of information on specifically listed cameras. And from the author review d700 read here https://radojuva.com.ua/2012/08/obzor-nikon-d700/ and compare yourself. I myself would not dare to devote so much time satisfying the desires of each user. The author of the site is great for!
Thank you very much, of course, for such a serious answer! I can read and use search engines too. As I already wrote, I am interested in a review of the brand of the second and comparing it with 700, and it is from an experienced person, the author of articles. Nobody forces anyone to satisfy the desires of every user, so shte ...
Friendship with Nikon is very long-standing, starting with the F50, F80, F100. Then D50, D80, D100, D200, D7000, D7100 ... Excellent technology, excellent quality. There was not enough full frame on the digital. I took Canon 5d (before that I sometimes used Canon 450d, Canon 40d). Great full-frame camera at a reasonable price !!! What is there a sin to conceal; - digital cameras allow continuous shooting and really good shots in the picture and composition are obtained relatively rarely, a few dozen. It is not difficult to process them in the editor. I had to purchase additional optics, adapters and other related items. We only have to regret that Nikon has no analogue at a reasonable price, sensor size and quality. One and the same lens on a larger sensor “draws” more lines per mm across the frame (by about 1.5 times), and this is very noticeable. More detailed picture is obtained.
And why did they take a nickel, and not d600,700,800 from Nikon? And how do you feel after changing the control system, ergonomics and autofocus of the canon?
Artyom, I was offered a carcass of a "piglet" for 17000 rubles, and not killed. D600, D700, D800 is a completely different price, at least 4 times higher than Canon5D. As for the D600; - having an excellent matrix, it suffers from well-known diseases and is specially "castrated" by the manufacturer in terms of functionality, so that it won't be sweet. The "supposedly corrected" D610 is also very doubtful, and for 10000 rubles. expensive…. Differences can not be found. After Nikon D7100, it is clear to me that 24 megapixels is not a lot at all, and all the problems of memory capacity are completely solvable and the "shake" with a shorter exposure is not so terrible. Legend D700 with its 12MP. already the crop is inferior in some places (do not throw stones), and the price with a mileage of more than 120000…. amazing. Yes!!! People already liked to print on a solvent plotter with a very good resolution both on film and on a banner in sizes over a square meter (this is a question like “why so many megapixels, what are you going to print?”). The D800 is good, but I can't afford it yet (I don't make money on photos). I got used to the controls pretty quickly, autofocus is within normal limits. Of course, there are difficulties with the "patch", but knowing its weaknesses and strengths, the desired result is easily achieved.
Also recently purchased 5D, the cheapest FF on the market. I'm certainly not super cheap, it came out 22 thousand, but the state is very good outwardly. Before that I shot 5 years at d50 having 17-35 2.8 fifty kopecks 1.4 and manual 105 2.5 even at d50 105th I often shot picking up the shutter speed at random .. I liked the results) then I bought D200 and took them for half a year ... now I bought 5D and sell the whole Nikon .. of course, it was more correct to collect money and buy the D700 .. of course the camera is good, but 45 pieces should be given for it and you still have to try to find it with low mileage. It was in my city .. because I don’t want to bother somewhere from Moscow .. right now they ask a lot for it .. I filmed one wedding on the D700 .. a friend asked, I took a camera at the box office very much because of the noise .. as the color of me not very impressed. As for me, the kenon color is more like it .. it was from the first 5D, but I bought 5D because of the price and FF, I bought a frosted focusing screen for it and manual lenses now I buy Samyang 35 1.4 and zyuki. By the way, on 5D it is very convenient that you can put the same manual Nikons through the adapter through the adapter .. I left myself 105 2.5 and bought the adapter for it. in comparison with my D200 I like it much more. that's why I decided to sell .. but I don't want to switch to Nikon's crop. it makes no sense ..
Hello! She wonders if the first dime fails to adjust autofocus. I want to switch to FF from 400ki, starting with it. There is a Sigma 1.4 glass, which can cause troubles with a new carcass, and the toad strangles in the service, the warranty is over. Thank you in advance for the answer, if anyone shares information)

The answer to your question is in the review: "... The camera does not have fine adjustment of automatic focusing."
which camera is more convenient for amateur shooting without photoshop: Canon 5d mark 2 or Canon 50d.
The video is not interested. The price is about the same -15-20t.r
Canon 5d mark 2 is not worth 15-20 tr ...
not new, but used with a lens for 18 500p.
A canon 50d for 15t.
Either this is a hoax (since no one in their right mind will sell a Canon 18,5d Mark II with a lens for 5k - be careful), or the seller is a bit of that ... Crazy. )
In any case, it makes no sense to compare crop with the full matrix. The Canon 5D Mark II is much cooler than the Canon 50d.
Good morning everybody. Does anyone know how to see the shutter “mileage” on this camera? I turned up not a bad option to take it with a 50mm 1,4 lens, but the seller does not know the "mileage" of the shutter. EXIF is ok?
Alas. The first dime in EXIF does not record mileage information.
Thanks, and the second nickle?
And the second nickle, if I am not mistaken, the shutter resource in EXIF already writes.
