Canon EOS-5D Review

Canon EOS-5DImaging Resource let a professional photographer take a turn reviewing, and it is a great piece of writing. Sean Reid took the Canon EOS-5D for a spin, and gave the perspective that any camera buyer would love to have, a real world approach.

All things considered, this is the best DSLR, for my own work, that I have ever used. I do primarily three kinds of photography. The first is work that I assign myself and this often takes the form of projects that can last for several years. The best of that work is eventually edited, printed and used for exhibition. Unless I’m working on something where I want to be very close to the subject (macro) or very far from the subject (telephoto) I usually prefer to work with my R-D1 rangefinders. That is unless I need the drawing of the pictures to be more like medium format - for that I once used the 1Ds and now use the 5D. I also now use the 5D for my personal work with subjects that are very close or very far. If I need a silent camera or want the kind of drawing that only a small-sensor camera can provide, I tend to use a Leica Digilux 2.

He ends on a high note saying that for the price, the 5D is a lot of camera to use.
