Canon 5D Photo & Video Cameras

Canon EOS 5D is the legendary old full-frame semi-professional camera (or advanced amateur - whoever you like), which was produced from 2005 to 2008. My version was made in Japan. The Canon 5D is the third full-frame camera after the Canon EOS 1Ds and Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II, and the Canon EOS 5D is the first in a new class of professional cameras with a lightweight body (often referred to as 'semi-pro'). The Canon EOS 5D has direct descendants: the 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III and 5D Mark IV. The Canon EOS 5D is often referred to simply as the ‘first dime’ or ‘5D classic’. Canon EOS 5D has a 13.3 MP CMOS sensor, of which only 12.8 MP is effective, which is not so much by today's standards, but 12.8 MP is quite enough for comfortable shooting of most photographic tasks. I rarely see the need for a camera with a lot of megapixels. With the Canon EOS 5D, you can take pictures of 4368 x 2912 pixels (total - 12.719.616 pixels Canon 5D Photo & Video Cameras ), which is enough to print pictures even on A3-A4 format. I rarely print photographs larger than 20 x 30 cm. The Canon EOS 5D can take ISO 100 to 1600 and expand the range to ISO L (ISO 50), ISO H (ISO 3200). ISO 3200 is no surprise today, even modern crop APS-C cameras like Canon 650D can overclock their ISO up to 25.600. But still, I want to pay tribute to the old lady Canon EOS 5D: unlike the 'inflated' ISO values ​​of many cropped cameras, the Canon EOS 5D can actually use its ISO 1600 and even ISO 3200. In terms of noise level, the Canon EOS 5D still bypasses a lot. (if not all!) cropped cameras such as Canon 7D, Nikon D300, Pentax K5, Sony SLT-A65, etc. Canon 5D with booster and Canon Lens EF 50mm 1: 1.4 Canon EOS 5D can shoot at 3 frames per second. Some argue that the speed is around 3.5 fps. The camera shows a frame buffer of 9 shots in the lower right corner (8 frames when using the extended ISO function), but when shooting in Drive mode, you can take about 17-20 RAW images before the camera starts to slow down. In JPEG L mode, a burst of images reaches 60 frames. In general, the rather large real frame buffer pleasantly surprised me. But when shooting in RAW JPEG mode, after filling the frame buffer, the camera goes into a stupor for a long time. In this mode, the buffer is 12 shots, the camera takes the next frame only after 10-15 seconds, which is an eternity! Using a fast memory card does not solve the problem. Canon EOS 5D can use RAW (CR2) format with 12-bit color only. RAW (CR2) files average 11 to 19 MB. JPEG L files are on average 2 to 10 MB in size. Canon EOS 5D uses fast CF cards. My Canon EOS 5D made friends easily with the Transcend 32GB 400x CF card and the Transcend 32GB 133x memory card. Important: The write speed, which depends on the camera itself, is very slow on the Canon EOS 5D and cannot be corrected by using a faster memory card. One RAW file weighing about 10 MB, the camera records about one second, even with the fastest CF cards. I liked the excellent ergonomics of the Canon EOS 5D, the large monochrome backlit secondary display. The camera weighs about 900 grams with the battery and without the lens. Almost a kilogram of weight is not scary. The Canon EOS 5D does not have a dust and water resistant body. The camera has a 2.5-inch display with 230,000 dots. When working with the display, I noticed that it reproduces the real color rather poorly in the obtained photos - it is too faded. The camera's menu is quite simple, it is very easy to understand it, in this camera it became available in Russian as well. Canon EOS 5D supports shutter speeds from 30 s to 1 \ 8000 s. A 35-zone sensor is responsible for metering the exposure, a similar sensor is available in a large number of amateur Canon cameras, in more detail about it here. The Canon 5D has a total of 9 focus points (and 6 more invisible auxiliary focus points). In the Custom Functions menu, I recommend adjusting the focus point selection with the joystick. You can read more about the focusing system installed on the Canon 5D in the section 'Focusing Sensors for Canon EOS Cameras'. BE. All sample photos in the gallery below were taken with a Canon EOS 5D camera and a YONGNUO 50mm 1: 1.4 lens. Some photos were taken using a HOYA 58mm PL-CIR polarizing filter. Canon EOS 5D can be considered as second hand. a camera option for people who want to start shooting in full frame right away. There is no cheaper and more practical full-frame camera in nature. A Canon EOS-1 DS can be found for about the same price, though. Per https://jiji.co.tz/cameras-video-cameras-and-accessories/canon-5d
