The narrative writing here was impressive. Maybe you’re a naturally gifted orator, but at a minimum, lots of work went into these chapters. The story boarding, footage, and technical writing were on-point. A polished retrospective. 👏🏽
That means so much to me. I am enjoying the format and hope to keeping working on it. Thank you! A year ago I had no idea how to shoot a video and had never touched video editing software -- so it really means a lot!
Would this camera be any good for wildlife photography
@@johnflanagan44 I think this would struggle for wildlife. The autofocusing isn't the best, and the higher shutter speeds which might require higher ISO certainly impact the usability as well. I'd say their are likely better options for wildlife -- though I'm sure it could be done.
@@Lonnie.G thank you for your feedback 👊👍👊
A great production!
"Back in the day" (early 2000's), I shot with 5 and 6 megapixel cameras on crop frame sensors, and I was able to crop down to about 1/3 of the frame and still get great 8x10 prints, so the 5D Classic is a VERY viable option for someone wanting to do professional work on a budget. I was going through some old files recently, and came across a bunch of my photographs shot with the Canon 10D (6 megapixel crop frame sensor and same "special sauce" color science as the 5D), and i was actually surprised at how good they looked when I was "pixel peeping". My point is, don't be concerned about the megapixel count of the camera.....12 megapixel's on the 5D Classic is more than plenty to produce professional results in just about any genre' of photography. I LOVE the simplicity of this camera, and if someone were to make a modern camera like this, I would buy it in a heartbeat. It makes you go back to the basics of photography, which I feel is something that is lacking these days. I miss the days of pre-focusing and hyperfocal distance.....and that shutter sound!! Amazing!
Thanks for posting this video! I love to see people keep the greats alive! Here is a video of a photo walk I did with the 5D and the 50mm 1.8. I have about $200 USD in this camera and lens:

Agreed! Thank you for the support !
Brilliant video, thanks for taking the time to make it.
lovely presentation, really enjoyed watching & listening. appreciate your calm, thoughtful approach.
Great video. It is indeed a classic. Im an 18 year professional portrait shooter and Ive recently sold my Canon and Sony mirrorless gear and gone back to DSLRs, specifically CCD sensors, for the more filmic look. Modern CMOS sensors have become far too sharp and digital looking with HDR looking colors and zero character. I recently got a a couple steals on eBay. A Nikon D200 for $50 and a Fuji S5 Pro for $150. The Super CCD SR II sensor in that S5 produces excellent skin tones and colors, some of the best Ive ever seen. Guess thats why its a cult classic among portrait and wedding photographers. Its a shame Fuji stopped producing that sensor, id pay good money for an updated version in a mirrorless camera with modern features. This video reminds me I need to pick up a 5D Classic, loved the one I had years ago. One tip is if you are going to use any of these older cameras outside in the sun, you need to be able to read a histogram properly. Better yet, I bring my iPad, fire off some test shots and upload them so I can get a better look at how they are turning out and adjust accordingly. Have fun.
I want to try an S5 Pro so badly. It has a legendary reputation and you definitely got it at a steal. I haven't looked at the D200 before but I will check it out. And yes, I agree with you about being careful with exposure -- I should have mentioned that. The screen is a very poor indicator at that so the histogram is extremely helpful.
@@Lonnie.G I sold my D200 yesterday because I found another S5 Pro for $199 on eBay. From a camera company who services and refurbishes them. Sorry I bought the cheap ones 😀 I’ll let you know if I end up selling one though because I also bought a 5D classic
Great video Lonnie. A true love letter to a classic. You have a new follower from Argentina!
I think your video is one of the best about a camera overall i've seen. Chapeau... 🎉
Besides the Classic Canon 5D. is the presentation which should also go down as a classic schooling on how to present on the Tube. Kudos. Ultra!
Thank you so much for that!
around 10 years ago after leaving high school, this camera was the first 'big' purchase. I remember working and saving every single penny to get this camera after reading endless reviews online. I used this camera for 3 years paired with a 35mm 1.4, till this day those 3 years contain some of the most cherished moments and shots i have taken. Everyone talks about how there is something 'special' about the 5dc and they're 100% right. You have to shoot it to understand, its a classic.
It’s so good. I HAD to go back and find another to buy before they get too hard to find
I agree. You have to shoot with one to understand the magic. Easily my favorite camera to shoot with.
A joy to watch. Oh and I actually love the weight. It perfectly balances a heavier lens as well as makes me more stable on slower shutter speeds.. Which is something I truly lack in newer bodies; the weight and size, as well as button placements, which makes for a truer photographic experience (imo) as you were alluding to as well - going fully manual. I recently "upgraded" to a 6d mk1 due to them being similar, as well for video; but the upgrade has mostly made me come to love the 5d more (although focus calibration and sensor cleaning, as well as video, is great to have on the 6d I love the handling of the 5d so much more).
Well said! Thanks!
Woah, this was amazing thanks Lonnie! These first gen sensors are lovely.
Yes -- all the way around bro! The M8, the 5D, the X-Pro 1. They all seem to do something special (with limitations) but none of these companies have been able to reproduce the feel of those files after their 1st try. Thanks bro!
Lonnie, I have no idea why my subscription bell didn’t ring and I missed two days of spamming this video. Incredible efforts here! Thoroughly enjoyed it.
My guy! Appreciate it! Hopefully the algorithm gods help this one pick up a little steam. I can't imagine videos on this old ass camera are on trend -- so I kinda get it lol.
Serendipity is finding your video by chance at the right time, thank you very much for what you have reactivated in me! 🤩
Thank you!
Fantastic video of the 5D. As a 5D Classic enthusiast, I enjoyed every minute of this. Thanks for the upload! Just as a tip, watch your audio levels. I had to turn up my volume quite a bit to hear you 👍🏼
Appreciate that! I'm still trying to figure out audio leveling. The guides/advice I see online are l over the place. Anywhere from -15 to -3 db. I tend to not like it when CZcams videos have piercing audio levels so I think that's why I trend towards the quieter side, but your feedback is definitely noted. I'll figure it out one day lol. Thanks again
I remember using this camera in college, definitely had me pinching pennies. Thanks for the video bro! 😎
Appreciate you bro!
A good enough video! I am on a short trip to DC and I have the 5D in my bag. I have also used it at several events lately (outdoor only of course). Still fun to use. Occasionally I search CZcams for videos on the 5D just to see how knowledgeable photographers use it and how they compare it to modern cameras. The idea of using a 2005 camera today to get great images just fascinates me. This is one of the better videos. Well thought out, well presented and included great sample images. I am going to watch it again on my MAC when I get home to see the images. My iPhone 12 mini doesn’t do them justice. I appreciate the comment about model releases also.
Thank you! Glad to see others with a passion for the classics
Wow. I'm a master of stating the obvious, but I have to say that your delivery in this video--the tempo, the thoughtfulness--is spot on. Add to this the fact that you are exploring the virtues and value of my favorite camera. I own three 5Ds. It is my preference to hold on to them no matter what. I come from way back in the film era and had to be pushed into the purchase of my first 5D. Then, suddenly, I was a Canon 5D fanatic. Nothing has changed. Thanks for sharing your video with us; it is as classic as the camera itself.
A very special camera. Mine will also stay with me until I am no more. Thanks!
What a great presentation. Thank you Lonnie. Subscribed and liked.
Thank you so much!
ive literally wanted one of these cameras for like 6 years, ever since i got into photography. gonna get one in a couple weeks. excited
I used plenty of the newest full frame digital camera, but I still keep going back to this 200$ camera, I feel like the sensor color is unmatched, paired with a great glass, it’s nearly as good as Portra 400 film color. Ofc it’s not perfect but for the price, it is amazing.
Agreed 100%. From what I can see of your profile pic, it looks dope. Is that your work? If so, Where can I see more?
Great video! Thank You!
It's a great video about the classic 5D! I'm an owner of these camera too. The focusing problem, that you have mentioned can be eliminated, if you use only the center focusing point, because it is the most accurate from all of them. With this method, you can focus very accurately, even using manual lens with a proper AF chip adapter. I can easily focus with my Helios 44M @f2.0 where it is very soft and very hard to focus without the AF blinker or without split image focusing screen.
Superb review, again thank you... I bought my first C5DC only three weeks ago, initially to use with my vintage lenses, it took two weeks to figure out the exposure settings but once I'd sorted that out I was away. A week after getting the body I bought the 50mm f1.8 STM, an amazing little lens and it works perfectly with the C5DC body... It's like using a vintage lens, but with AF... For the last ten years I've used Fuji, I still have the X-M1, for street work, the X-E1 for nature and the X-T1 for studio work, product and portraits... I love my Fuji's, but since I got the C5DC I haven't once been out with the Fuji's. The C5DC is simply an awesome camera... The colours are equal to Fuji in some cases, better... and the 12.8MP sensor is equal to the 16MP Fuji's I use... In short this camera will stay in collection and never leave me... A wonderful camera even today, near 20 years since it hit the scene... I would advise anyone looking to buy this camera to jump in and get one as soon as... Simply beautiful.
Such an amazing video 🔥🔥
I appreciate that! Thank you!
One of the best Canon 5D Classic review. Congrats.
Wow, thanks!
Love the vid !
I bought this camera three days ago and I love it! Colours are amazing and it feels really professional when shooting with.
Yes it’s great isn’t it?
great video, thanks!
Hi Lonnie, lovely review of the 5dc. I enjoyed every bit of it. I've owned mine for a little over a year now and every time I come across a beautiful review like this reminds me of how special the 5dc is and how lucky I am to own one. Everything you've said is absolutely true about the 5dc. I enjoy it for what it is and i don't expect too much off it. For the 5dc missing shots when paired with the 50mm f1.4,try using the 50mm f1.8 stm as suggested by a reviewer i never miss a shot and much more reliable. Keep up the amazing works,cheers🤝🏼
Thanks! I am thinking up picking up the 40mm 2.8 STM lens again too. Love that lens!
Well that was mellow. A nice reasonable review with obvious real effort put into making the video. Very good point on lens and camera focusing possible issues due to no micro adjustment. I have a Sigma that does not focus as well as a Canon brand, in terms of accuracy. So good points on that. I bought mine new. After 13 or so years the mirror fell off, reglued it with super glue, no problems since. Good efforts in the video. Best wishes. God bless!
Thanks for watching!
For " Feels " , Pentax does it for me . When I pick one up it FEELS like I'm ready to do some serious picture taking !
Thanks for the review. The quality of the photography and production is fantastic. I was watching the first few minutes in 480p ( youtube randomly drops the resolution) and I didn't recognise it was low definition such was the quality of the image. 👍🇦🇺
Thank you !
I never owned this model but I did buy a 5DmkII and everything you like about the 5D also applies. The entire series of 5Ds are excellent and well worth holding on to and using. Good video.
Great review. I would think of these legacy digital cameras a bit like film cameras. Embrace the old tech, the simplicity, the lack of bells and whistles. I see these cameras become increasingly popular for those wanting something different and unique.
Great video bro
Thank you 🙏🏽
It's 2024, I still shoot with a Canon 5d. I've decided to upgrade to the Mark II... Then time passed. Mark III. And more time. And now the Mark IV... And when this camera, if the day comes stops working. Sure. But as of now, I still shoot with a 5d Classic. I use an 85mm and 50mm. And I've done professional headshots for people and events for over a decade. While I don't seek work anymore, it's always been amazing to us a camera from 2005 and get everything I need for people to be happy.
Excellent color science!! I own a 5d2.
This is true 100%
In the right light there is something to the raw colors that are just perfect. It’s the perfect balance between contrast and smoothness.
The only thing I don’t trust it is with the autofocus.
It’s there but then it isn’t 😅
This sensor with an updated autofocus like the mirrorless versions. I’d pay 3000€ for this.
Preach!
Good overview. I still use this camera often despite owning some really excellent modern bodies. There is something freeing about the simple body. Tip…try DXORaw and your ISO noise at 1600 or 3200 isn’t much of an issue.
Thanks! I keep hearing about DXORaw. I really need to give it a try. Honestly when i reviewed the few shots I've taken at high ISO through the years, it really wasn't as bad as I remember (including the out of focus example I provided in the video). Thanks for the tip!
I recently picked a mint one up and a 50mm 1.8. It really is a gem and a later model so hopefully the mirror doesn't fall out.
Yes -- I think I'll hold onto this one until I die. I forgot about the mirror issues! The mirror in my original 5D was replaced but I'm not sure about my current 5D. it looks to be in great shape though.
Super underrated channel.
Thank you I appreciate that
Great review man! Subd.
Much appreciated!
I've been reading up on Luigi Colani (Canon) versus Guigario (Nikon) designs. I like how they both kept to the Japanese design aesthetics, long after the first visuals, from the 90's into the 2023's. Notwithstanding the technological spring - digital over film - they are expensive but worth it. Thanks to all the people who hand-build these cameras for us.
Best camera ever ... the photos it takes are simply priceless.
Agreed!
nice review
man nice content!
Glad you enjoy it!
Waiting for it w/ Canon 50 1.8. Crossing fingers they will be in sync. Got mine from MPB.
It was my first full frame body I bought new in 2006 and after 17 years of GAS, in hindsight it was the camera I enjoyed most of all. Beautiful sensor, simple. If I have to mention one “flaw” it is the lack of micro adjustment to correct back or front focusing. That’s why I replaced mine with a 5D2, which I never really liked as much. A lot of gear later I got another mint 5D for €130,- and I still appreciate this camera as much as back in the day. Older cameras are fine, they don’t worse.
Yes I can deal without auto iso but the lack of micro adjustment makes it difficult to find well matched lenses
Banger.
Thank you!
@@Lonnie.G you’re welcome, bro! Do you have the EF85 F1.8? I love it. Killer budget lens. Use it for street/portraits and automotive stuff, big time.
@@MindYaBizz_Whiz I don't right now but I used to have it back in 2012/2013. Agreed! it was way better than the price suggested. I traded the 100mm 2.8 macro (non-L) for it to a guy when I lived in Hawaii and didn't regret it at all.
@@Lonnie.G if I have the room, it’s my go to! Thanks for the reply. Looking forward to more content 🙏🏽👊🏽
Also colours of Canon 1D Mark I (the first one).
Thank you for this video, very nice. I loved the kid pics.
A number of years ago I found myself being influenced by "influencers." I would become seduced by 5 extra focus points or some impossibly high (and false) ISO claim. Let's not even talk about the "need" for super high resolution. When I sat down and evaluated my purchases I was (almost) universally disappointed as the latest generation of the camera was really not that much better than its previous sibling. I started to focus on what I needed to take photographs that I was proud of, not what some paid CZcamsrs thought I needed. I discovered that it was a lot less than what I was originally sold.
My best photos are camera-independent. Almost any camera could have taken them. I mostly use a 5D IV for pro work but I use much smaller cameras for pleasure (for instance a GR III). I picked up an original 5D a number of years ago for the heck of it and I have come to really love it. Less MP seems to add an organic quality to photos (that are still sharp). It is an awesome camera. The original 5D was a pro camera capable of being used for print, magazine covers, and portraits. That has not changed. Is it as capable as my Mark IV? Of course not, but my Mark IV isn't as capable as an R5 or R3... so what, I can still take really beautiful photos with all of the cameras. Your video was thoughtful and complete.
Very well put and I agree 100% - especially that my favorite shots could have been taken on almost anything. Ironically, as someone who makes videos about gear, at the end of the day we often forget that it should all be a means to and end - that final photo - that captured moment. Whatever we use to help us get there is mostly personal preference. The gear matters, but not more than the subject matter. Thanks!
Great video
Thanks for the visit
WHO IS THIS MAN AND WHY IS THE PRODUCTION VALUE TOO CRAZY 😭
Dawg -- I'm really trying to learn lol. Preciate ya
I loved my 5D classic I had 2 of them though that I got through KEH that both failed on me though. The first one lasted about 4 months and the mirror issue happened and it fell off. Sent it back got a replacement and then two buttons stopped working, sent it back and ended up just getting a 5Dii. MUCH happier with the Mark II version. It still ha that great canon color and vintage look to it's images however I feel it has a much greater build quality and more robust. Plus a bit more resolution. Great photos !
Thank you! Admittedly I never shot the mark ii. But I did eventually upgrade to the mk iii. Very capable camera but it lacked the same soul of the mk I. I’ll have to give the mk ii a try - the used prices are pretty good right now.
@@Lonnie.G yeah I had the MKIII a while ago then went 1Dxii. Then went Fuji. But yeah the OG 5d has that certain look and feel. I think the II is a happy medium between good resolution but older vibes. The mark III is very clinical
Consider the 6D as well. More similar to the 5D in terms of out of the box image character with all of the more modern stuff
The 5dii was the pioneer in video as the classic didn’t have video nor did it have a CMOS sensor.
Wonderful video! My 2 cents: if you wanna get cheap but amazing portraits, go with *EF 135mm f/2.8 (with soft focus)* . Or with even cheaper vintage manual lenses like the German *Pentacon 135mm f/2.8* (an adapter with a chip will confirm focus like any other lens). The Classic camera delivers classic look with classic lenses. Cheers!
Thanks! I’ve not heard of those lenses - interesting!
@@Lonnie.G agreed, I've been using that 135mm soft focus for years paired with the 5DMK3 , it's very very impressive for the price I paid, £89.99 just under a 10th of a price of the L counterpart and in my opinion it's just as sharp, the AF is loud but it's accurate and fast. And focuses well in low light.
Really great video! One thing I was curious about was why you would choose adobe color profile to edit your raw images in lightroom as opposed to one of the native to camera canon profiles?
Great question -- honestly I just enjoyed how the Adobe profile looked right form the import. I will definitely take another look at some of the native profiles soon but I was so pleased that I just rolled with it
@@Lonnie.G ive already commented but man I went back and watched this again and it's just so great. Hope you do more content around the 5d in the future! Your cinematography and storytelling are top notch. The best 5d review out there!
I loved the 5D until my mirror fell out mid-wedding (many years back)... thankfully had a second body that saved the day.
But... honestly, I still have an emotional attachment to this body even if it gave me some rough patches back in the days LOL
Ohhh yeah the dreaded mirror lol. Glad you did the right thing and brought a backup!
It will always be a classic!
I own this since it released in 2005, and the image quality is the critical reason why I still keep it. Although the 9 AF points are not enough; the high ISO performance is far behind when compare with the modern camera; histogram is the only thing I trust on LCD; and freaky focusing shift on my EF 85 1.8 (not the lens issue as it is totally fine on 5D3 and 5D4 without adjustment). But after all, when open the RAW in Lightroom.... OK I decided to keep it no matter what.
Great synopsis. Will keep this camera even after it dies!
It seems like whenever I see anybody praise Canon MD classic or MK2 they always have some epic photos
Once a classic, always a classic..!
i have a Canon 6D and 5D , and when you look at the same picture , 5D is sharper ... of course when you zoom in its not but your clients wont be zooming in . And you wont zoom in if you watch the overal image for your self . And if you post on social media its tons better then social media gives you .
Thanks o the observation -- great point about social
@@Lonnie.G Indeed , people mostly consume pictures over smartphones , at least my clients do .
But i was really blown away when i saw that 5D is sharper then 6D . unbelievable , even when you zoom in .
I will have to repeat that now .
@@Lonnie.G I just got Canon SX40SH , old point and shoot , can shoot RAW with Canon CDHC , shoots Full HD , and has a hot shoe , i even put a Commander on it , and it all works .
Even that gives much better images then Social media requires , and if you are careful you can shoot video with it no problem .
Just not 4K .
The camera amazed me , tho im getting G1X tomorrow , will see what that does .
Yes and it always will be.
Drake makes some killer reviews
What flatlay brand is this? I tried some different ones but they were too “bright” for the look I wanted.
It’s actually a kitchen countertop from IKEA that I use as a table top
Great video man. But the 40mm isn't kinda the same as the Fuji 27mm, a pancake autofocus lens?
Thanks! Yes basically -- from a frame of view equivalence. But the combination of different sensor size will result in a slight difference in depth of field at the same aperture and framing of subject. More importantly, the 27mm didn't exist at the time that I originally had a 5D and X-Pro 1 bodies so it was fairly unique. The only lenses that existed at the time were the original three (18, 35, and 60 mm). I did buy the 27mm back when the X-T1 came out, and loved that lens too though. I really want the new WR version because of the aperture ring
@Lonnie George yeah you are right. I remember watching the reviews of the 5d at the time. I had a Rebel T3I, and I wanted the 5D so bad...
Haha I’m pretty sure that was my first camera. It might have just even been the plain T3. Not gonna lie I hadn’t even really maximized my abilities with that camera yet but I got caught up in the full frame hype lol
@Lonnie George my case too... I thought that having the most expensive camera would make me a better photographer... how wrong I was!
In my opinion yes it is a classic.
came for the video stayed for the alan holdsworth tokyo dream soundtrack
Hello! Thank you for the review. One note - Dynamic range is rather poor - some harsh clipped highlights on the skin, background are possible. The colors and your images in general are really good. I remember same feeling (about he clors) when I used Panasonic LX100 - I am just in love with colors in ACR.
Yes, I should have mentioned the dynamic range! I thought about it after I uploaded the video as I came across some images I forgot to include in the video that suffered blown highlights in the clouds. Thanks for the feedback and compliments!
4:26 for solely photography, the 5D is still worth using, not merely remembering. The sensor in the 5D is in a class of it's own beyond any other camera. Functionally, it's not a camera that's going to be suited to everyone, for example, it lacks video and if that's important to you, skip this camera. It's not the easiest to use and doesn't have all the newest features, again, if that's a priority, move on to other cameras. But, if what's important to you is how good the images you shoot look, this camera can't be beat. 12.8 megapixels is more than enough. 1600 ISO is more than enough, especially in the 5D because the ISO values are actually accurate on this camera. The tiny screen on the back of this camera is more than enough, all you really need is a histogram, and you don't even really need that if you understand basic exposure. Having said all that, I'm glad people overlook and/or disregard this camera because I know if I need a replacement for the one I've got in the unfortunate case that something might malfunction, and that's always a possibility but even more so with an almost 20 year old camera, I know there are still good ones available at a reasonable price on the secondary market. I plan to purchase at least a couple more in the next few months and put them in storage so I don't have to worry about it going forward, because I can't fathom ever wanting to shoot on anything else.
They really knocked it out of the park
I own 3 bodies for this exact reason. I am convinced I will never need another camera again!
Now everyone making videos about this camera
Nothing wrong with 12MP. I printed 30 by 40 inches from a 12MP raw file - very doable with today's software.
Is the EOS 400D also in that same legue as the 5d.
What Sony do you have with good skin tones. Haven’t seen one yet. The new canons aren’t great either.
Hmmm, straight out of camera? None to my liking really. If I’m looking for an easy solution in post I like the camera profiles from Cobalt image that can give you something close to the CCD look, Canon colors, Fujifilm colors etc depending on your taste. Very pricey but worth it if there are some color profiles that you like.
Just an old reflex that used to be nice like there are dozens
I know pro people still using 5DmkIII
All I know is I have seen a girl take a sick black and white on a 100 year old camera and put it next to modern pictures and I would have never known. So yes the 5D Classic is going to remain a classic
It’s known as the classic because it’s the first 5D. It’s stupid really. People should call it the ‘5D one’ but classic has just stuck!
Haha right!
Очень круто снять
Do you shoot Raw or Jpeg with the 5D?
I only shoot Raw with it
@@Lonnie.G just had my first portrait shoot with the 5D. Completely blown away on how good the Raw images look.
@@joed7185 It really is amazing how well it holds up over the years with how pleasing the images are. The raws really don't look like any of my other cameras upon initial import -- I love the colors
@@Lonnie.GYes! The RAW images have such a distinct look. Its not film but doesn't look digital even though it is. Hard to put it on words. Im debating wether to get Lightroom to edit them and get those "Film" look presets for the images or just stick with basic edits.
1:28 a photographer big on consent ! yes thank you.
Bro I live alone and I have head phones on and it scared the living shit out of me
Lmaooooo
Fuji colours is a myth.I don’t like Fuji colours.I much prefer colours of Canon 5D,6D Nikon D700,D200,D3,D4,Df Leica (every Leica especially M8,M9,M240,Sl,Sl2-s.
Why is your room so dark? 😂
haha it's a basement
That's not a camera problem its the lens... the worst canon release...
The point I made is that there is no af micro adjustment setting built into the camera like there are on many cameras that came after. Agreed that the 50 1.4 is terrible from a QC perspective, but there are bad copies of every single lens that exist somewhere. Af micro adjustment would allow the camera to compensate for the lens shortcoming. That’s what I pointed out
A classic definitely deserves a quality presentation! 🤍
