phenomenal Canon 24mm 1.4 “L” lens... also highly recommend the nicely priced, super-sweet 20-35mm EF zoom to go with this body – for those who want and need their wide-angle lenses.
most experienced photog’s will tell you to spend your money on glass before the camera itself. That’s the path I took and I could not be happier now that I have a great body to go with some great lenses.
vignetting from pushing the lens to its limits, get darkened edges - but sometimes this is the effect that is desired? crop factor removes the darkened areas
1Ds is the best, 1D and live with 1.3 crop factor
increased quality of 5d by 20% over D30
? save that old 10D/20D for low light conditions when you need all the f stops you can get
If you enjoy wide angle lenses, don’t need the burst rates and can see the value of the full frame - get the 5D. Also, if you don’t want to find yourself “needing” a Canon L lens or two, don’t go full frame just yet.
pictures with higher
ISO printed. Here the 5D shined and the larger I printed the bigger the difference not to mention the level of detail that was rendered. Bokeh was really smooth too. What was truly amazing however, were images printed at
ISO 3200 after a run through noiseware. This left me speechless.
Aside from the fact that my wide angle lenses are now actually “wide” the high
ISO blew me away on this thing. Crank this sucker up at 1600 and 3200 and take some photo’s in low light, without a flash.
After all the EF-S 10-20 3.5 superwide lens designed for a 1.6 sensor was all the wide angle I’d ever need. So..I sent it back...and I BOUGHT THE NEW 1Ds MARK III....and holi moli...expensive as it was...this camera can capture any shot in any light lightining fast. The shutter at 10fps sounds like an UZI sub machine gun.
