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.

Thank you.
For what?
good day! Please tell me the EF 50mm f1.8 lens for the Canon 5D. Will it fit? I am new to this and have little understanding!
Of course it does!
Wouldn't it be better to take the Sony A7? $ 1300 is new on ebay now. there certainly work with manual lenses is just an order of magnitude better - put whatever you want, there is focus-picking, 10x magnification, both on the screen and in the viewfinder.
The issue price is 2 times higher.
“I think it's very, very important for the growth of a photographer to shoot in full frame right away.”
And before you said that you need to grow up to ff, understand why you need this ff .. well, everything flows, everything changes))) in general, the idea of revising old articles from the point of view of “today” is a useful thing, maybe now reconsider your views on things like third-party flashes, third-party lenses in the style of tamron 17-50 or tokens 50-135 and other attempts to shoot with a crop in the “pro” style
Quote in full starting "At one time I made a mistake ..."
So all the same, you already understood then that the crop is a dead end, or have you come to this just now? and then you can understand the phrase “I made a mistake” in two ways))) And you did not answer about the rethinking of old articles, did any new thoughts come or is everything as before?
For professional shooting - a dead end. https://radojuva.com.ua/2013/05/the-crop-identity/
Seeing the ad “buy Nikon d7000”, without hesitation, I gave my almost new
* new d7000, sold out lenses quickly. And now, a slightly shabby, but quite combat-ready canon 5d is in my hands. It is not much more than a seven-thousander, it weighs, it feels about the same. It is more comfortable in the hand (the protrusion under the arm is wider - this applies to all canons XXD, XD). The screen is really poor (which is not surprising given the camera's development time).
Now about the focus. I once had a canon 500d, with 50 1,8, and when I changed it to Nikon 7000 with 35 AF-S, I was initially pleasantly surprised by the autofocus of the latter, especially in low light, but then I realized that the percentage of misses very significant, especially under incandescent light. Canon with the 50 1.4 focuses quite confidently in all conditions. But pyatak autofocus has a significant drawback (as I understand it applies to many top-notch full frames) - the focus points are in a small area in the center of the viewfinder
Picture. Once in the comments I read about the “fat pixel” - a fair comment. Indeed, the picture in the full frame differs from the picture on the crop in the direction of space and volume (this is probably due to the correct operation of the lens).
ISO 3200 is slightly different from 7000, but there is not much difference in plus. In comparison with 18 megapixel matrices of the new canons, the difference is significant in favor of a nickel (although when resizing an image, I think, all the advantage will come to naught anyway).
Summary: The first nickle is a really cool camera. Do I regret that I sold 7000? A little yes, since it was a new camera. But if you already have a rather shabby crop, there are no obstacles to buying a good copy of a nickle.
PS: there is one problem on my camera - the focus point illumination does not work all, as a result, the already meager number is limited to one central
I won’t exchange my new (!) D7000 for any professionally schmuck for any kind of baking, and even, go ahead, on the Aglitz menu ?! (If exactly done a long time ago, in Japan). I do not like junk to trade for novye. Moreover, my novoe pretty well takes off.
With such a judgment, modern smartphones can give up the camera completely shocking results (Samsung S9, Iphone X). In addition, they shoot video at the Panasonic GH5 level. But what about the love of technology?
Who what. A question of goals and money.
PPS: I can add that the tactile sensations of Nikon lenses of the same class are more pleasant.
Hello, Arkady. Thank you so much for being there!) I regularly read your advice and lessons (to some extent). I wish you health and prosperity in everything! And I would like to ask the following question; What kind of camera for a beginner, but which aspires to become a “budget wedding photographer” for friends and acquaintances in the near future, would you recommend Canon 5D, Nikon 7000, or pick up on Canon 5D MARK2 or D600 NIKON? There is nothing to fire! Important, beautiful bokeh for the common people and convenience. I have already found the lenses for myself thanks to your articles) Thank you again and success for the benefit of all of us)
It is better to collect mark 5, Nikon d2 or d700 on 600d.
Doge garn article. After reading, scho Tsikavogo photographs seem about the whole camera, view of vi. I’m taking it, I want to sleep a bit more, because you can see it in such a way: there’s just a menu of post-sampling (for example, light-colored tones, for example) and conversion into the camera at all, didn’t you write such a thing?
V_dpishіt, hto trim in the hands ..
The camera does not have such functions.
= (
I don’t know about the obsolescence. Yes, the display is not the best, while when you get a large picture of a larger and better quality, without a histogram, by the eye, then somehow looking internally at the wretched screen, it seems that it’s true But otherwise the device is good. And on the 50-ke 1.4 you can focus almost in the dark. The shooting speed is only tough. 50D compared to the 5D sprinter running next to a senior citizen. For weddings and reporters, it is old, but for an amateur it is a valuable treasure.
Hello! Tell me - is it possible to put on the Mark2 NIKKOR-H 28mm f3.5 Nikon through an adapter? Will he cling to a mirror? How will it behave in general or what can be replaced with it) Thank you !!!!!
You can set it without any problems, there are adapters even for G series lenses (they have a lever that presses on the aperture control drive) http://m42-adapter.in.ua/adapter-nikon-f-ai-g-canon-ef-eos-s-chipom-podtverzhdeniya-fokusirovki/
Also, the camera does not ... fast sync with flash (X-Sync is 1/200 sec.).
Proof of the manual page https://www.dropbox.com/s/wls84el05v5gjhn/Screenshot_2014-07-01-00-30-45.png
And from personal experience on the 470ex II without problems up to 1/8000 s.
Fixed
Regarding fast sync, when using the Canon 430EX II or higher, fast sync is provided by the brains of the flash. It is checked on 20D (the same first track, only a crop).
I moved to 5d with Nikon 5100, and, frankly, so far disappointment. Theoretically, I understand that my hands are crooked. Or I’m too used to crop and I can’t readjust and understand the features of kenon. 40mm 2.8 new lens. Despite the fact that the macro-sharpness lens after nikon is zero. Those. You can see that the object is in focus. But this trick is so incomprehensible that it looks like soap. Can you tell me which way to look so that normal photos can be obtained in quality? My hands may be crooked, but with the same hands on a nikon everything everything I wanted turned out sharp (with fifty fifty) Or does the full frame require some other approach?
Maybe it's all about the quality of the lens? Have you tried shooting with other lenses?
Hello. Which is better for me to buy Canon 5D or 60D? I will shoot on shovel lenses. I have 1100d, I’ve been renting for 3 years, I want something more worthwhile
:)
"At one time I made a mistake ..."
I live with almost the same trouble now. Instead of a full frame, I sit on a Nikon D200 crop ... I survived everything that is possible from it, but before the full frame picture (especially the Kenon 5D ...), as you can tell, heaven and earth, to put it mildly. I look at these pictures in the article, they are just two heads higher than what I get after a long photoshop from my camera.
The most interesting thing is that when you turn RAV from cameras like Canon 5D, 5D Mark II, you feel that the file is somehow “smart”, you pull the settings and colors, light, shadow, etc. here and there. changes somehow "smoothly". On my Nikon I slightly twisted that, a terrible color, light or something else comes out immediately. It is also very difficult for me to get pure color that comes directly from the Canon 5D camera (downloaded RAVy in the article).
PS If possible, please do a review on the Canon 5D Mark II. My personal opinion is that the picture is a living legend today.
Thank you for the good review, and especially for the RAVs in free download.
Thank you Arkady Shapoval! I have long understood that I want FF, monetized amazon. And then I came to the conclusion that it’s a nickel that is good not only by itself, but also by price. And I started with the EOS 650D crop. Survived all the juices from him! And once again reading your blog, I realized that I was even ready to sell my crop and switch completely to FF.
I want a full frame for a long time. You will have to take used. Tell me, brethren, advise. There is Sonya 850 with a range of around 10 thousand per 30 tr carcass. There is a Canon 5D MarkII with a 28mm fix, 40 thousand mileage for 45 thousand rubles. There is no doubt about Sonya - she looks like a new one, and the mark, it seems, was at work, wore a little. Is it worth overpaying for Mark if video and speed are not of particular interest. I will shoot mainly for myself, with the possibility of part-time work.
Yes, by the way, there are no glasses on these cameras, there are only Nikon's 50,70-300 and a bunch of Soviet ones. Here I broke my mind to think. I would like, of course, Nikon D610, but he, an infection, even b / y bites.
Good afternoon, Arkady, as always, excellent reviews and cool tips. but I want to hear one piece of advice for myself :) I am the owner of the Nikon D7000 and a small fleet of glasses for it (Nikon 50mm 1.4G, Nikon 70-300 4.5-5.6G VR, Tamron 17-50 2.8 Di VC II). Now I have a desire to go to the full frame, in particular for work and wedding photography. it’s difficult to find in our city Nikon D700, but there are not enough funds to buy D600 / 610. but there are a lot of Mark II and Canon glasses. Should I sell everything Nikon and switch to the Canon 5D Mark II just for the sake of Full Frame? or should I upgrade to the D7100? I will be grateful for the answer
At 7100 you will not feel a striking difference from 7000. I myself shoot with the D200, which pleases me very much with its color and did not even dream of buying a more modern crop for myself, because I see no point. A full frame, even on a used old penny, will pleasantly surprise you (tried it). Arkady wrote above: “At one time I made a mistake - instead of a Canon EOS 5D (even in the used version) I bought another cropped camera. Now I strongly recommend to all novice photographers who are limited in funds and who do not need different 'gadgets', instead of buying any cropped camera, buy a used one. Canon EOS 5D (not new). I think it's very, very important for the growth of a photographer to shoot in full frame right away. ”
PS Forgive me for being responsible for Arkady, I myself do not always receive answers to my questions from him, probably it is not possible - to answer everyone personally.
it just bothers me that I always used the Nikon system, now because of the FF, is it worth it to switch to the canon and it’s still annoying that the mark has 2 focus points and the noise is worse
Take what is, canon cameras are very easy to learn. Especially for weddings. Indoors, it’s all the same working with flash (s), and on the street, with optics with aperture of at least 2.8, iso will not rise above 1600 anyway. And people like colorful photos from canon. RAVs are drawn well, so I think you will not lose. And for the soul, then take Nikon to earn.
I’ll join in the conversation, on the advice of Arkady I sold Nikon D 90 (which is not very different from D7000) I sold all the optics (Nikon 50mm 1.8; Tokina 80-200 2.8; Sigma 18-50 2.8) you can see glass not at the initial level . I bought a 5D kenon and a 100 mm 2.0 lens just a couple of days ago, and I’ll tell you frankly that I’m not overjoyed !! Just a great machine for little money! I strongly advise you to switch to a full frame, it gives great opportunities! Definitely worth tightening your belt, buy a full frame!
PS Do not turn into such a wedding photographer, who takes a cropped Nikon d 300s, laughs, saying how wonderful it all turns out in a jeep, and gives the photo to the young ones right from the camera, I just sold that lens)
Well, the D7000 is still very different from the D90 in terms of noise and focusing system. the only thing that holds me back is that Mark 2 has few focus points and only one sacral. only the D7000 has as many sacral as the mark 2 generally has focus points.
Yes. All the same, 5d is a good machine! I recently switched to FF. I think it's not worth talking a lot about the brand. Need to buy, especially now they are not difficult to find. he took for $ 650 .. so you can safely from crop to full frame!
Tell me, is it compatible with a Canon EF 50mm f / 1.2L lens?
Well, of course.
Is it worth changing Nikon d5100 to Canon 5D ??
Sure! 5D is full frame, gives a lot more creativity. Although if it's not worth it for a family and birds)
Nonsense. Only gives a feeling of "cool" - well, a whole full frame. And the fact that the penny is already ancient, like the shit of a mammoth is nothing :) And for the advice “it is better to buy an ancient penny than a modern crop” you generally need to take the keyboard away. FF is no better than a crop, it is different and with a different purpose. And there is no point in not understanding this difference in a full-frame. By itself, it will not make your hands smoother and there are no “masterpiece” buttons there.
What do you need for creativity? Maximum functionality and a more modern matrix. 5100 with its excellent 16-megapixel Sonev matrix makes a penny in color depth and dynamic range, yielding in noise at high ISO, according to DRL. Only there is one problem: not only is 5D limited to ISO3200, but it also does not have intermediate values between 1600 and 3200. The 5100 does. 5D does not have an autoiso, and changing its value manually, especially when shooting dynamic scenes, is torment on a penny. Live View - please, at 5100, figs at 5D. So you can go on for a long time. The main thing is that the 5D camera is good, but for its time. Today it is already irrevocably gone, and any modern cropped camera will give much more opportunities for that very creativity. And FF for the sake of FF ... Well, buy, walk with her for a month. It will feel as if you are walking with the Nokia 3310, and everyone has smartphones around on Android and ayos.
agree
well you, my friend, bent ... compared 5d and d5100 ... 5d is more correct to compare with d300 (s) ... three hundred loses only in noise at high ISO and then only 5d mk2
but is it another matter, but the d700 does both 5d and 5dmk2 and 5dmk3 - in everything ... absolutely ... except for color distortions on ISO above 1600
Are there people who compare the full frame with the crop?
What are you people? Try to stretch out a full frame, and then crop ... Then you wake up to spit from the crop.
As for the penny, it's a bit old, the focus is not very ... But it keeps the color perfectly, even the older brother (the second carrot loses in color)
From personal experience: I’m that strange person who worked on geometry, shot at the first nickle and pulled out pretty good reports.
I agree, the nickel is another category. I had both d5100 and a dime and would definitely choose a dime as the only camera. Let there be no swivel screen, life-view and other bells and whistles, but there are great colors even in a jpeg, low-noise ISO 3200 and an excellent comfortable body. And the rolls spin better (although from overexposures the crop fudge c5pro stretches much better). Well, with 5d it is easier to play with depth of field, even on a dark 70-200 4l, excellent portraits are obtained. At 50d or 7d, this does not work, a little worse. Yes, and the focal points change, and therefore the 70-200 becomes a purely telephoto lens, while on a full frame with this glass, you can shoot a reportage almost entirely without changing the glasses.
Hello Arkady. Are you planning to review Markov 2, or 3rd?
Hello. What to take Canon 5D or Nikon D90? And which lens?
They are completely different, ff-Kenon and crop-Nikon.
I bought on the occasion a piglet with a mileage of about 40 thousand, with a lens 35-105 3,5-4,5 baht. a native block and 4 batteries for 25 thousand rubles. On Monday I took it from the post office. The color is of course wonderful after Nikon 5100 right away in the chamber, I did not notice the absence of "buns" in principle, it is natural, once I forgot that there is no auto-iso, I think that on a cloudy day with a hole of 3,5 he sets an exposure of 1 \ 8000, it turned out the day before in the apartment I was shooting on ISO 1600 and naturally forgot to “turn it down” manually))) Now you need to buy 85mm 1,8 selling 5100, 35-105, of course, in sharpness it is not very sharp, it starts from hole 7, it lathers open vignetting along the edges is quite noticeable.
