Very good video! Couldn't agree more. Both, 5D and 6D, are great cameras, hyped or not. That's a fact. 👍🏻

WOW this is a serious video! I need to tell you that I worked as a wedding Photography with a pair of 5D bodies years ago. You can imagine how stressful it was struggling to take pictures in focus in some low light situations with the 5D!!! Besides, protecting the highñights, sometimes was a mission impossible while trying to recover strong shadows, because of the low dynamic range. Those nightmare memories still visit me sometimes LOL. But I never sold my 5D bodies. On the contrary, now I enjoy them in those situations where they RULE. I come from the film era and I couldn't agree more with your comment about the similarity of the 5D to the color slides. Your comment is very precise and accurate. Besides, the basic functions of the 5D are very similar to old film cameras what make the experience really reminiscent to a film camera operation. Nowadays I'm using a 6D as my main body, but not as a professional photographer anymore. The 6D gives me a great joy, watching a similar color rendering like de 5D, but with an extended ISO range, much better screen, much faster data processing, auto ISO operation and a considerably higher dynamic range. It's like a dream come true for me. I really don't need a better camera than the 6D and I still have much fun taking the 5D s to the action from time to time. Thank you for your EXCELLENT video. Greetings from Argentina

I just did a trial run on my 5D yesterday and it is amazing. The RAW files are great and I really enjoyed the easy operation of the camera.
Other than a few minor adjustments in Lightroom such as cropping and straightening, I really don’t see any issues with it.
Ok, the screen is bad, but I don’t mind, because it keeps me focused on the moment rather than peeking at the screen.

Guys TRUST ME. Within the next few years the Canon 5D and 6D will triple in demand and value. It's all in the sensor and how it handles highlights and shadows and its unique rendering in editing. iv stacked 5 bodies each all under 10k shutter count. I would'nt sell any of them.

I also am 5D user, but I also love using Nikon D700 too. With these cameras I have such pleasure I don't have with more recent models.

[campbellsups]

nice photos. lens choice also factors in how the colors and contrast come out. the Meyer-Optik lenses are great for the vintage tones. also enjoy using old Nikkor lenses on the 5D.

[kbarrett]

I keep my 5D for the experience. The output is great, but they way it works is simplicity at its finest.

Interesting video, but the AI voice and mouth lip-syncing really threw me off. Especially when the voice changes from very British to very American accents.

I bought one for £110 and within two days I bent a CF connector pin, so that good deal will now cost £120 to fix.I picked up another one for £100 this week, so now I will have two.I just couldn't wait whilst the first one is being repaired.I love what the 5D does and its teaching me to treat it more as a film camera loaded with transparency

[TopshelfJunior]

I've had every version of the 5D... And the first one, the original, just has SOMETHING the other ones don't. I can't really put into words what it is but, it's a certain soul or character in the image and camera for sure. Just shot with it fairly recently too, love what I got. Video on my page !

[PaulPosch]

I use the 5D and 60D for trainspotting to have fun with em!

[DanilynSajulga]

Loud and clear, both cameras are good

Hi I just bought a 5D Classic an hour ago . The previous owner said that I might need to buy an original prime lens (If I wanted the best results ) I see you are using a Domiplan 2.8/50 . I have one of these ( and other FSU lenses ) . I would love to see some of the results you have had . Might save me having to invest - Cheers

I have Canon 5D and never felt a film-like photos. I jumped to 5D III, , 5D IV, , R5. Most of my Canon cameras are lightly used and shutter counts were around 7000. I took the step and bought Fujifilm X-H2S. It elevated my enthusiasts to photography, and in 4 months the shutter counts exceeded the 7000. However, it took my attention to film photography. Because, no matter how great Fujifilm in image rendering, it's not a film photography. Now I'm doing my homework to search for a medium format film camera.

Honestly looking at comparisons of the 5D classic and 5D MKII, the MKII just looks like the classic just with higher definition and warmer colours, other than that both of those cameras maintain that weird “slide film” look everyone talks about

[Island-pool]

Unless you went from film to digital, you won’t notice the similarities. I own the 5D and use it daily with my Nikon F2AS

[evertigo]

There’s no any film feel. I have thousands of RAWs. I shoot with it during its lifecycle (before 5DM2 was released), and not now when there’s growing hype around it. It was just very good camera that time. It’s also very funny to hear when someone calls this camera “underestimated” 🤣

Why didnt you just talk yourself instead of going to the effort of lip syncing to AI?
