I bought my Canon 5D NEW almost 20 years ago and it was my main camera for well over a decade. I've taken some stunning images with this camera, and it's one of the cheapest ways to get into full frame photography in 2024. The video includes quite a few of the photos I've taken with the 5D over the years, so you can see what it's capable of.
Hi, nice video! Thanks for sharing. I've been thinking about exchanging my Canon 7D for a 5D classic. Am I out of my mind? haha.. I mean, will I see a big of a difference in the image quality ? Idk if you have shot with the 7D, but I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks again
Yes, this was a design issue that was fixed in later models, although there are videos on UA-cam to teach you how to glue it back without the costly fees.
From what I've seen online, only the classic has that special filmic look and none of the ones after the orginal 5D have that, so it really depends what you want. Also, I think the video capability on the mark II would not be very useable. I would rather have the specialist stills camera personally.
Ah ok, I think it really is a personal choice, but the main reason why a lot of people prefer the classic is the look of the images from that sensor which unfortunately did not continue with more recent models as they became more digital, but certainly the more advanced tech would be nice.
I have both. The images look similar. However, the 5D Classic has a certain glow. The colours are a bit richer. Both are good cameras. The 5D has the edge in image quality, but the 5DII is more user-friendly (has in-camera corrections, auto sensor cleaner, live view and better screen.)

I subscribed to your channel after only watching 10 seconds of this video. There is something about you!
Good video. You covered the subject well.
Thanks. Appreciate the feedback.
The mirror dropped off in my 5D 5 years ago. Cost me about $200 CAN to glue it back on!

Surely it would be worth spending a little extra on a 5dmkii, the prices are almost identical?

@@StreetPhotographyChina yeah I wouldn't consider it for video, just for the improved technology between the i and ii.

I have it, is it "filmic"? No, that's an over used word. Yes, it looks different.
