My first video camera was a Sony Betamax about thirty years ago and I have owned many camcorders since. This is the best ever. Easy to set up,easy to use, great picture and easy transfer to disc.---I love it and the DW 100 DVD burner that I purchased at the same time make it a joy to transfer my Grandson's baseball games to disc. Great battery life, great recording capacity and nice not to have worry about tape.

Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)



From Canon

12.8-megapixel effective recording * full-frame CMOS image sensor (35.8 x 23.9mm) * 2-1/2" LCD screen with adjustable brightness levels * top-mounted LCD panel with orange backlighting displays camera and exposure settings * DIGIC II image processor * compatible with Canon EF lenses * hot shoe for Canon EX-series Speedlite flash accessories (no flash included) * compatible with Canon EE-TTL II flash exposure control systems * 9-point autofocus * viewfinder with dioptric adjustment * optional interchangeable focusing screens * depth-of-field preview *

I have owned the 5D for about 5 months. I was waiting for the 5D Mark II but I decided not to wait any longer and I am glad I didn't. Previously I had used a Rebel XT that I still own and have as a second body. Reading the review that gave it only 2 stars is just a bit dissapointing. The overwhelming number of people (pros and amateurs alike) that have truly used this camera as it was designed (that is, coupled with the right choice of lens) have had outstanding results. This camera is excellent when used with the right lens; I have used it with my Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L II and the full frame just sings edge to edge with beautiful,smooth tones and sharpness (think exquisite landscapes). Vigneting is not an issue in my experience; because of all the reviews posted, to go into a full review will be repetitious so I won't. Just for fun, I used a "consumer" lens to test it and it truly shows all the flaws of the cheaper optics; this reinforced the notion that you really cannot use this camera with lower quality glass.
