Rating :  - Amazing piece of kit for an amateur
I admit it, I'm a rank amateur when it comes to photography. I took a couple years worth of classes for Photography in college, but that was nearly 20 years ago AND it was all film based. Still, I've long been obsessed with cameras and photography in general. I sold my old Canon EOS film camera the moment digitals became affordable for us regular folks. Since then I've had a long string of different cameras, but they were all only OK. I always pined for the look I remembered capturing with my old EOS film camera, that to me was photography. Every shot I took looked like a crummy point and shoot vacation image. Fine for trips with the family, but nothing to be taken too seriously. Last year after years of slobbering over the 5D (mark II and precursor) I finally broke down and took the plunge, and haven't regretted it one bit. I LOVE this camera. This is what I remember photography being. Something that can be controlled and worked with, minus all the horrible smelly chemicals. I work exclusively with a 50mm prime F1.4 and the lovely depth of field speaks to me, and allows me to capture images of sublime beauty (to me anyways). I've heard over the years so many times that good photographers can make amazing images even with crummy equipment, while that may be true, for amateurs like me, having amazing tools sure helps a LOT. I'm rarely seen out and about without my camera these days and I have Canon to thank for bringing me so much joy. Highly recommended.
