This is my second used Canon 5D, it is in very good condition, worth paying a bit more for it. The first one I bought was nowhere the same condition as this one, yet I’ve had it a few years. It has to be the cheapest way to get into full frame photography. It is known to create film like images, quite unique really. When coupled up with a good quality Canon L Len’s or good quality rated third party lenses, you get great image quality for the price. They feel great in the hand, built like a tank and has a rather nice shutter sound when you take a picture. When this one dies, if it does, I’ll probably get another, they are that good. They make a good back up camera if you are a pro. There are Pros out there that still use this Camera as their main body, that says a lot for it. The person I bought this from only sold it because they wanted it for sports photography and it was not quick enough tracking fast action shots. I use mine for stills only, so it’s perfect. There are loads of YouTube videos on this camera by pros, it’s worth the time looking at them, you will learn a lot and see just how good it is.Read full review

Good camera, but very dated now! Entry level full frame at a reasonable price. If you can get one cheap buy it, but I wish I had waited till I could afford the mark two version. Does much of what amateur photographers like me want, but after using the Canon 60D there seems a lot of functions less on the 5D. My advice would be to go for the 60D unless you must have full frame!

I had a 5d mk111 previously and then I damaged my shoulder and the weight of the camera was just too much to carry and I sold it, I then bought a Panasonic Lumix LX100 which is the Leica made by panasonic, which is small and light, now the trouble with both of these cameras is the amount of menus and sub menus and with the LX100 I found that if I change one setting it can have a great effect on the working of other programes, so then my shoulder recovered and I bought an old 5D mk1, it is a joy of simplicity so easy to use very few menus and takes great pictures, it is very comparable with the LX100 in that they are both around 12 thousand mega pixels, the difference being that when I take landscape shots the LX100 is very noisy but the D5 is so much cleaner. If you want ease of use the 5D is great, I just miss the live view a little bit.Read full review

The 5d mark 1 or classic as it's otherwise known, is now a little bit long in the tooth when compared to modern day equivalents. It's 12.8mp sensor is not as big as its successors, it does not have video mode, or live view, nor does it have extensive ISO range. So for those who have already experienced full frame and looking to expand further, this might not fit the bill. However, for first time full frame photographers, like myself who's expanded up from a Canon 600d, its a different story. The prices for early 5D's are now more than reasonable and despite its age will still give terrific image quality with minimum editing. I've had my 5d classic for less than a month and have saw the real potential of moving to full frame. Plus it still has solid build quality, a great base for using good quality lenses and a wealth of online forums of people who have used this popular dslr. If you're, like me, looking to move into full frame photography for the first time, don't dismiss this model down to its age. You can still make potential with the 5d classic Read full review

Less than £500 for a full-frame professional DSLR? That’s right! What a fantastic piece of kit, it may be only 12.8MP but that doesn’t affect how beautiful the images that this camera produces are. Lots of people have said it - and I agree - that this camera has a certain magic that Canon failed to replicate in the subsequent line of 5Ds. It has a certain film-esque feel to the photographs and they require little post processing to get the most out of them. And this machine is a tank - drop it and it’ll be fine. It’s nearly 15 years old and it still competed with the likes of modern DSLRs - it may not have the fancy tech of the 5D IV but it certainly makes you think about your shots - and if you think, then you get better. And if you get better, your photos get better. The Canon 5D “Classic” is by far the most magnificent camera I have ever owned.Read full review
