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.
