 BeckyA's recommendation | |
The image quality is stunning for a 6MP and it definitely fights well above it's class.
The most important disadvantage is that you have to use an expensive x-sync adaptor - there isn't one built in.
I bought this camera as an upgrade from my film Dynax when I was preparing to go full time pro - and I was stunned to find that for portrait work, the quality is unbelievable when you use a film camera prime lens. The results look like they were shot on at least a 10MP camera. I would have no problems recommending this camera to anyone looking for a way of moving up to digital and keeping their lenses. Just budget for a Sony flashgun or use x-sync for the flash work.
I wish I'd been able to get two of them or maybe its big brother, the 7D.
Size-wise... it's just right for my hands and it doesn't weigh too much. I've used Canon for stage work and I've had a go with Nikon. The Canon was too heavy and bulky - and the Nikon felt like a toy. Minolta always had this ability to design top class cameras and lenses that were the equal of anything else on the market.
Biggest tip for the 5D - get yourself some of the old Dynax film prime lenses - they're the best around!
