I have just recently got hold of a 5D and the one thing Iâve found is, as an amateur, it has really forced me to understand photography much more and working with exposure to get what i want. In the past, other cameras have enough latitude to get you out of trouble. With not having auto ISO, for example, you really understand how to use your exposure triangle. Love itâs simplicity and the look of the files are like nothing else i have used.
Great video; thankyou.
Hi Dean, thanks and glad you liked it. Iâd urge you not to sell your 5d you may go for other cameras in the future but keep this one and a lens for it and youâll find you keep using it too.
I have the D200 which has a CCD sensor. The raw files are so filmic, it's incredible! I'm going to buy a D700 soon.
Everyone I know that had the d200 loved it, unfortunately I never got to use one. The d700 is wonderful
I take out my D700 with me everyday. Whilst my A7r3 sits in my cabinet, and only comes out for paid shoots. The d700 still comes with me for paid shoots as well. Phenomenal camera that everyone needs to try. I'm now very intrigued on getting a 5d classic =/.
Excellent points and well presented. Thanks for your desire to inform and your succinct coverage of your thoughts.
I'm still using my 5D Mark II I absolutely love the pictures I get from it also using the canon 7D Mark I with the 400 5.6 for wild life. Love your channel and older gear.
Wow, exactly what I was looking for, a competent, intelligent and insightful comparison. Thank you
Thank you!
Owned d700 in the past (have currently d3 in my kit though) and use 5d at the moment. Just. Few cents to add to the comparison.
Nikon d700 pros:
+ Weather sealing
+ Advanced physical control/Button layout.
+ Advanced Autofocus
+ Higher ISO
+Slightly better dynamic range
+Pop up flash (could be used as a trigger for off flashes)
+Live view mode
Cons:
- Rubber skin peels of
- Not great black&white profile
Canon 5d:
Pros:
+ Color profile and great AWB
+ Light weight
+ Nice joystick
+ Great black&white profile
+ Very good manufacturing quality camera ages very well "fake leather" stays where it should be
Cons:
-AF isn't very reliable
- Weighted Exposure metering is less precise and sometimes inconsistent
- No tethering with Lightroom
- No AF microadjustment
Two great cameras. Nikon d700 is a next gen and more advanced tool.
Excellent comment Alex, though i quite like the D-pad on the the D700. The joystick on the 5d is nicer but there arent many focus points. Great comparison though thank you!
I used both Nikon D700 & Nikon D600. Color renditions from both camera quite diffrent, D700 color subtle is juicey and vivid like film look while D600 color is soft and look more digital and I try to fix color in post process but cannot make them as same as each others. Couldn't agree more with what you say finally I sold D600 and kept D700.
Same feeling. Got a d610 for video (which I donât even use) and because it has more megapixels. But I much prefer my d700 for its build quality. Also the black and white jpegs out of camera look great with the d700

Thank You! I purchased my Canon 5D mk1 when it first came out! Still viable today, great portrait and landscape camera (imo). Having some good glass like the 135mm f2, and 85mm 1.2 lenses and others help. The only Nikon DSLR I have is the D200 previously owned the F100 (film). Appreciate your comments and videos.
I know exactly what you were talking about the sharpness on 5d classic. On my nikon I have to use a super sharp lens like 14-24 and sharpen it in post to get a similar sharpness level. It is crazy sharp for such an old camera.
Both are legendary cameras. I use 5D Classic and love the film look in its images. I'm confident Nikon D700 will be the same as well.
For wedding work I used both. Started out with the 5D and switched to the D700. As you have said the Nikon was just an easier to camera to use in that environment but both were very capable. The 5D was the go to wedding camera of choice back in the late 2000's ironically due to its then hi ISO performance. I do have a soft spot for Canon L Lenses too. saying all this if I was to go back in time and shoot weddings again I would use the D700 just because it was way better with Hi Speed on camera flash and its better focus performance. It was flawless with a 24-70 f/2.8 shot at f2.8 for near on anything inside and out.
Bang on comments about the D700. I bought mine a few years ago, soley due to your comments on it before. I honestly agree, the images were just so intense and had a feel about them I didn't see again on other bodies I purchased. I moved up to a D810, which is lovely, but it simply doesn't capture the images in quite the same way. The only camera that I find now that gives me a unique feel to the images, is my D4, which in it's own right, creates superb colours, that simply 'Pop' out of the screen. But, if I was looking to buy another Nikon body today, I would certainly would be happy with another D700 for my wedding work. Great content again Martin, keep up the excellent work. All the best. Gav.J
I had the d810 for but itâs excellent but wasnât mad about the images from it this stuff is just to quantify, you can measure it with any machine so no stats can back it up, but when you know you know. Only a handful of cameras have that certain look Iâve heard others say the d4 has it too. I feel the d600 has it too to some degree. I think I will make a video about this
Hiya mate, great idea, that would make a great video showing the 'individual character' from different cameras :)
Got a 5d, 6d and 550d and the 5d is better by far. 6d has amazing iso performance but everything else is better on the 5d
I just picked up a mint condition 5D that I use with vintage Nikkor and Takumar lenses... and I'm in love with the thing. Not only do the images have a great organic look to them, the camera itself is just no-nonsense. Turn it on and start shooting!
Excellent to hear, im surprised how many are using vintage lenses on the 5d thats great to hear though!
Good review. I subscribed to your channel. I really love these older full frame DSLR's. I have a recently purchased D700 on its way to me this week. I think I would like to own a 5D as well so time to start looking for that.
Thanks John, you could just stick with the D700 its excellent, id warn you the 5d is a generation older than the D700 but great if you can persevere with it!
Great and honest, 5D classic all the way!
Thanks for the inspiration, i've bought the two of them. đ
hahah well done! im sure you will enjoy them!
5D back to basics, love it. Like a time machine :)
Love your videos Martin, thank you for kindly sharing your knowledge and opinion. I have 2 x D700s and am looking into getting a 5D mark 1
Thanks đ if you can then get the 5d Iâm addition rather than selling a d700. The 5d is a generation older.
@@MartinCastein oh I'm not selling any D700! I've made the mistake of selling classic cameras for fast cash. Not doing that again!!
Thanks for this video, I have had my D750 got 8 years and now looking for a budget backup camera, and this might fill the bill! Thanks
Very good and thorough information â€ïž thank you
Thanks!
@@MartinCastein youâre welcome âșïž
thanks for the dive!
Having owned both the D700 and the 5D, I can vouch for everything being said here, and I would confirm what he said about the 5D being fast enough to shoot a wedding. I shot a young boyâs birthday party the other day and captured pretty much every action photo I attempted, and these children were moving pretty fast!
But what I agree with most of all is the look of the 5D files, thereâs nothing like it. Some people believe that the low megapixel count is the long and short of it but Iâve seen the files from the D700 and they just donât excite me aesthetically the way the files from the 5D do.
The 5D is the only digital camera out of the 10+ digital cameras Iâve owned where I genuinely like the look of high ISO images because theyâre more film-like than any other digital camera Iâve used.
Thank you Frank itâs great to see others coming to the same conclusions!
Hello, I have just one question so I leave a comment.
Which camera has louder shutter sound? 5D or D700?
I do love mirror shocks of dslr and shutter sound.
So I want noisier dslr dearly
@@psurability102 I test both, D700 shutter sound more louder than 5D.
I still have my 5d. I sold my d700 years ago but sometimes feel like buying a another. Great explanation.
I know what you mean, one day I will get another d700 too
I had a 5D classic in the past and I liked the colors at lower ISO (much better than 5D Mark II), but ... I missed auto-ISO, at ISO 1600 there was a lot of digital noise, the display is useless for reviewing and the autofocus is pretty basic. I would say the experience with the 5D feels like shooting film because of the limitations, which may be appealing. I now still own a D700 and it fixes all those things. The biggest positive is the much faster and more accurate autofocus. The biggest downside is that it's very heavy.
I have both. The d700 is way more robust, heavier and faster....but the 5d does give more pleasing pictures and the meter is amazing. My D700 meter is really not that great.
Yes I agree with you, Iâd forgotten about the d700 meter I sold my d700 a long time ago now but you are right.
I got previously 5d classic and is very good camera even in 2023 if you shoot in studio or just every day camera apart from action shots but still is possible. The worst for me is unknown shutter counter so you never know when fail and don't know when buy second hand. I wish you make review aboud 1D II and 1D III that will be nice to watch one day.
Fantastic channel I just found! After a D750 and Z6 I got a D700 and I love it a lot. I still shoot film, and the D700 gives me some of of that feeling without the cost. Sure I will get a 5D mark 1 now. These 12 megapixel cameras are not in demand.
thanks Kim!
I am a hobbyist /collector and i had the d700 and it was great but i feel that mirrorless is the way to go for me now. If i was looking to keep dslrs in my collection i would buy the 5d and the d700 given the prices on used gear if you shop around you can get both camera bodies for 500 or less depending in the condition.
I think they do represent very good value for money and have a special place in the heart of those that grew up on them which what happened to me
I own a d700 and used to own a 5d mark ii. The 5d classic still fascinates me.
Itâs MUCH more basic but nice, itâs like a cut down 5d ii and you can really feel itâs the predecessor to it. Image quality is very different.
Good video, very useful. Iâve just acquired a nice 5D and itâs resurrected my interest in digital photography. Just as an aside, the lady at 1m 18s is absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks Paul hope you have a great time with your 5d and I will let her know!
Hi Martin, I have had the D700 for about 10 yrs and cannot bear to part with it. I sold some of my Nikon lenses keeping the primes and moved to Fuji for practical reasons and although it is great, producing stunning colours there is something about the D700 that I havenât found in any other camera, particularly doing portraits. I hope it keeps going. Just found your channel and it looks great. Cheers Baz
Absolutelly useful - As a novice I now understand better the relationship of ISO / Shutter speed....I had been under the impression that ISO HAD to be kept low - in case I died a horrible noise death..!
hahahha yes dont die a noise death!
I really enjoyed your take on this subject and actually have just bought a 5D classic off the back of it as I am one of those people who's looking for greater inspiration and something different from a gear change.
Once thing I'd be really keen to hear about is when taking your view of the 5D classic as an inspirational tool (vs the 'more capable' D700) what lenses would be useful to have. What I mean is are there older lenses that have a similar vibe to the 5D classic. As in, less clinical and precise, yet with more 'character', like the 5D seems to offer.
Hope that makes sense and thanks for your perspective on photography :)
I've had both and the D700 is the better camera! I still have my D700 but today I do most of my work with a Canon 5Ds.
Excellent video.
Fantastic review.
Glad you liked it!
Excellent comparison Martin. I own the Nikon D700 and used to own the 5d mark i. I've decided to produce black and white images with high micro-contrast. I decided that the D700 produced more pleasing b&w photos using the Voigrlander 58mm f1.4 than the Canon. I'd probably be shooting the 5dm I if color was my desire.
Thanks Warren, yes the d700 is just superb i expect its handling the black and white better for you due to its better dynamic range but its overall tones are excellent too. Thanks for your comment!
Excellent commentary!
thank you!!!!
Glad I have two D700 bodies but now Iâm drawn to get a 5Dm1 too! Very informative video! Subscribing! Thank you!
Donât sell your d700âs though, must keep them too!
Sello one to me please...
Great video mate , I own and use my canon 5d classic , mark 2 , 6D , Nikon D700 for my photography ⊠and they are all produce just pure perfection , and for video I only use my iPhone . I couldnât be any happier đ
thanks for sharing that, they are excellent cameras for sure!
I've had the same cameras as you in me 10yrs wedding career
I have a Canon 5D and find the colour to be superlative, the nearest equivalent being the Phase One Lightphase digital back - I know, because I own both. Nothing else comes even close. I have a couple of Fuji XE2s and it has taken me years to find a colour recipe that works with these cameras for me. But I do understand what you say about the Nikon D700, and if the Canon 5D did not exist, I would be working with one.
Thanks William, great comment đ
Thanks for your insights. If you were doing product photography in a studio, which would be better?
Obviously, the D700's faster tracking won't make a difference here. We'd need to look at Canon's "look" vs the Nikon's grain structure. I think lenses now also play a big role. Which are better/cheaper/versatile? I believe Nikon can use old manual focus primes which are dirt cheap on eBay, but what about Canon? Can we swap out the focus screens and get the split sceen focussing of old (which I love so much more than a glowing red square). Which interfaces with studio flashes better? Can either be remote controled by a laptop?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Love this, right to the point, color producing from a camera is not something we can mimic with post processing. If it was possible, Canon may not have been too famous for their color science all along. Post processing software are not god-like that can do anything we want. Also, the convenience of getting something straight out is much better than spending time to match that with software later.
Absolutely love your channel! I'm a huge supporter of older gear. I myself shoot with 8+ year old fujis for my professional work. And I'm currently looking into getting an older full frame camera between Canon and Nikon, just to have for portrait photography and possibly some studio. I'm deciding between the Canon 5d mark ii, nikon d610, or nikon d800. And I wanted to know your feedback on any of those 3?
Thanks for commenting! Specifically for portraits canon is better Iâve always owned both canon and Nikon for different lenses and different system characteristics. Canon for me wins in the portrait game. The 5dii is excellent although the focus isnât the best but for tones itâs superb
While I picked the D700 back in 2011 for nikon's ecosystem and its natural colour. I have a lot of respect for the 5Dii, it just put out beautiful punchy jpeg that most people prefer at that era (even today maybe).
Yeah I agree the 5dii has a special look especially the JPEGâs as you say itâs interesting you point this out as not many people seem to notice this.
So d700 or 5dii? Youâre confusing me!!
Good comparison, I wonât be selling my 5D anytime soon ;-)
We have 1 x 5D Mk1 and 4 x D700, 5D Still sitting on a shelf looking like new just ordered new rubber covers for one of the D700s worn out the originals.

I have couple Nikon F mount decent lenses and considering buying D700 in near future. One of these lenses is manual focus only, and I have no idea how hard it's gonna be to focus with Nikon's manual focus guide only, and without split prism.
Does the manual focus lens have a focus confirmation chip in it, sometimes you can install them, might be worth looking into
I'm looking for my first Camera and i was hesiting between the both thank you
Glad it helped what did you pick?

Hello @Martin Castein , I want to thank you for your videos, they are focused on the really important technical informations, I own an EOS R but nfluenced by your reviews I recently bought a 5D classic which I really enjoy in terms of image quality/rendition, I am thinking of acquiring a 1Ds mkIII or a 1D mkII, what do you think about their color rendition ? Thank you in advance
Never used them but everyone I know who has loves them
Get quality glass for either. Learn to use itâŠD700 can be used for a rock fight in a pinchâŠand get a GoPro as a great combo!
I have been shooting Canon 30d and 40d and love them. I wanted to try full frame. The natural choice is 5d mk1 or mk2. However I was really put off by the number of mk1's being sold with mirrors detached or glued back on, there are also lots in really poor shape, well used and abused. I was tempted by the mk2 but it doesn't seem to get much praise apart from its ground-breaking for the time video, I'm not interested in video.
So after a lot of thought I bought a Nikon d700 which arrived yesterday. The build quality is awesome, the ease of controls on the back are brilliant, the customisation in the menu is something space aged compared to the Canon cameras of that same era. I am blown away by the low light capability.
I hope I love it as much as my 30d and 40d, I just need to buy some more lenses now as I only have a 50mm for it.
thats kind of what happened to me i went from a 40d to a d700 but also a 5d mark 1, not at the same time exactly but i owned them both and the d700 was the *upgrade* i needed especially for professional work. in my career id say the d700 was the camera that was the jump from basic to modern capabilities. i really love the d700 and i want another one.
i hope you enjoy your d700 :)
Thanks, I am really enjoying the D700, but I've still kept the Canon 30d and 40d can't really part with them.
I own two 5D Classics and two D700s. Can't part with them!
Donât sell them, wish I had kept my d700

Hi Martin , I really liked the video you did on setting up the menu on the canon 5D Classic, it helped me a lot, Iâve now just purchased a Nikon D700 in part due to your reviews, Iâm new to the Nikon menu, donât suppose youâve any plans to do the same with this camera, thatâs if youâve still got hold of one. Cheers keep up the great work.
Hi Ben, i dont have it any more im afraid, if you look at my old videos i have a really really crappy old video about how i setup nikon cameras for weddings, thats on a d600 but most of its the same id say. I know its weddings but its still my setup. sorry if you have to sit through the terrible quality of that video though.
@@MartinCastein thanks Martin, much appreciated, Iâll check it out,
thanks heapsss
Iâm using a d700 and Iâm wondering if the canon colors are really as good as people say. Either one is a good candidate for adapting Leica r lenses to it though. The canon can use an adapter where as the Nikon needs to change the lens mount on the lens.
I think the canon colours are better for photographing people and the images look sharper but the d700 is really good and a better camera body but itâs generation ahead of the 5d. The 5d is great as an extra camera, I owned both at the same time as d700 was easier to use for weddings.
Thanks, i buy canon 5D this wekeend. I `m photographer from argentine :) saludos
Good for you, I hope you will enjoy it đ
Great videos! I bought a 5d and I love it. Quick question for you. Which rear screen is easier to see in the sunshine? I might buy a d700 for work and to collect. Thanks in advance for you outstanding camera insights.
Between the 5d and the D700, the D700 screen is miles better to view in sunshine. No comparison really.
Thank you. You are a real inspiration! Thanks for sharing your insight. Very keen.
@@harmonyharmony7930 you are welcome!
Great video, currently got the xpro3 anf realy like the ovf. This makes me intrrested in the 5d because it also has an ovf (albeit a different kind of one) i like the idea that its simple and photography centric. I like my xp3 also but perhaps the 5d is nice to have on the side. What lenses would you recommend for it for family work that are not that expensive?
Hi there, thanks, I think the 40mm stm pancake lens is excellent or any of the 50mm 1.8 lenses. if you want wider the 24mm 2.8 stm is good too the full frame not the pancake crop sensor lens or the 35mm f2, you just need to be careful you are buying the full frame lenses as the naming is very similar from full frame to crop on certain lenses.
@@MartinCastein thx very much! If it has EF in the name its for FF and if it had EF-S in the name its for apsc right?
@@gerben4875 yep thats it!
Love this video and your presenting style Martin. I'm a nikon guy but very tempted to by a Classic to try. I currently have a D3 (amongst other Nikons) and was wondering if you've ever compared the D700 and D3 output and formed an opinion? Tim
Only briefly I seem to remember the d700 had better skin tones itâs the same sensor I believe but I think the colour science is slightly different
Thanks for the video, Mate!
So I have a 5DMk IV & enjoy it; I'm a semi-professional, meaning I do some paid work, but its not my profession. Would you recommend the Mk 1 or 2 - are they different in their look?
Hi Scott, depends if you mean as a backup for pro work too, if its as a backup as well then definitely the mark ii, if its just for fun then the mark 1.
Can someone learned out there recommend a value ttl speedlite for 5D classic. Do we actually need a TTL speedlite for this camera?
I own both, I love them both, but like you said the nikon is a bit more professional and im already invested in their lenses and used to using them. Less grain in low light or color noise. I shot the 5d at iso 1000 in lower light and had to always correct that color noise in post. but daylight photos are great. didn't try it with any speedlights or studio setting so cant talk about that, but yeah - I always take my d700 somwhere with me. its solid and reliable. i pair it with the f1.8 85mm, my f2.8 60mm micro, and 1.8 50mm, f3.5-4.5 18-35mm all Nikkors. I also very much like the auto ISO feature when shooting in Manual - and im not afraid of pushing it to 3000 or 4000. Also it has a built in flash - never really use it but if you ever need to, you have it. I also own the d300 and planning to use it only with my 50mm if i want to get a 75mm range on the crop and will likely keep it so i have something to use my 18-200 VR nikkor DX lens for random shots. the d700 also produces beautiful sun stars?
the D700 is a wonderful camera i think Nikon should have continued with this line of thought with making cameras, I wish they would have continued with this type of sensor design but nevermind, the d700 will always be around. Its certainly a better overall camera than the canon which is more of a luxury addition to another camera.
I didn't own a D700 since I already bought a D3 back then and I also had the 5D & 5D Mk II. The 5D was great at the beginning, since it was the first consumer FF DSLR, but now mainly served as a holder for my 85 f/1.2 L II. The D3 (similar to the D700) was my primary DSLR and back up by the 5D Mk II (and for the video feature) and I still have them all, as well as the earlier Canon D30. đ
Ah thats so cool you kept them all, good for you, well the D3 was the big brother to the d700 so i think everything i said for the d700 holds true for the d3 as well. glad you kept everything thats a good move.
Only if Nikon could reproduce a new D700.
Finally I have a D700 coming :)
ohhhh nice!!!
OK so I've had a 5D for a couple of years and I just got a D700 today. They are both great. I'm set, right? I don't need a 6D? Or do I? đ
6d for astro and landskape? yes
but nope u need 5d3, 80d or d610, d7200, d810. I think its welld category
I mean kinda fast with good video modes. and not so simple like 5d1-2 or 6d or d700
****also dont forget about light and lens****
its not toys anyway
and if u go for a fun+toy, go for m6 (and II), m200, m50-2, or a6300, A7 and A7R probably
1DS mkii?
Hello, I have just one question so I leave a comment.
Which camera has louder shutter sound? 5D or D700?
I do love mirror shocks of dslr and shutter sound.
So I want noisier dslr dearly
And thanks for informative video :)
Well Iâd say I think the d700 is louder but the 5d has the nicest sounding shutter and most satisfying shutter sound so it easily wins the sound test. Itâs also very loud.
Update just bought a 5d mark i need to find a lens for it. Also bought a d700.
Wow good for you for the canon I suggest the 40mm 2.8 or any 50mm 1.8
Fantastic video! What other cameras would you consider to have great, unique note worthy sensors?
Hmmm well actually the 6D Mark 1 I think itâs second best to the 5d 1.
@@MartinCastein maybe I haven't really messed with them enough but I've always thought the 6d had an unusual magenta color cast
I found it to produce a creamy sort of rendition if you go to the home page of this channel on CZcams the top banner all the portraits there are on the 6d except the the first one on the left
None, other than the Sigma foveon sensors.
Which would you prefer for colors, 6d or the nikon d700?
Had a 5D MKII sold it to make way for a Panasonic S1, sold that and just replaced it with a D800 and a D700 I just bought today with a v low shutter count cos of that âmagicalâ sensor everyone talks about! Het youâre telling me itks the 5D MKi that has the âmagicalâ sensor!
Oh well wont be long (ordered from Japan so a week or two) before I find outâŠ.đ
Hahaha they are all good cameras for sure!
Hi Martin,great video and comparing the two great legendary cameras.
What is your opinion on Nikon d300 aps-c camera which came out in the same year as Nikon d700?
Are the colors straight out of both cameras and the raw files do you think would be similar between Nikon d300 and Nikon d700?
Thank you
Thank you
Hi there I havenât used it but back in the day I remember people really liking it for portraits. Someone I knew used it for portraits and really liked it too but Iâve never used it. Canât say more than that without using it, sorry.
Thank you very much Martin for your reply to my question.I highly appreciate it.
I am thinking of buying my first full frame dslr and i am a little confused.
In 2021,which one would you recommend a canon 5d mark i or Nikon d700 or a canon 6d?what would be your top two picks among the three?
I like portraits,streets and flower photography.I like to do very little edits so i would prefer straight out of camera good colors and image quality.
Thank you again.I will wait for your reply
Have a good day!
If itâs only camera get the 6d, the d700 and 5d 1 are great second cameras for fun or to use if you canât afford more but if you have one camera the 6d is a better overall camera and produces wonderful files
Ok i wll go with canon 6d,thank you very much for your recommendation đ
No problem
update: got myself another d700 for fun and backup :)
Haha nice !
3:17 What are the other cameras that produce equivalent color quality as the 5d?
Close would be 6d mark 1 and 5d ii IMO. Different but very good. Some Nikon cameras under certain lighting conditions too
@@MartinCastein. Thanks!
Super super ! Martin, can u pls compare D5 + D700 + S5Pro. Thax.
BTW do you speak German ? You pronunced your last name Kastain. I have heard people pronuncing Kastin in Noord Amerika. Any way I become your FAN ! CONGRATS X 1000000000. Are u reading my mind with your tutorials ? Superb, MAN !
thanks! but i cant make that video! ive never used the D5 or the S5pro so if i made the video id have to guess and make it up lol
@@MartinCastein waitin' 4 it
HAHAHAHA
In a nutshell, 5D mk I has better colors SOOC; D700 better low light performance and better dynamic range.
I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the 1DS series, supposedly the 1DS mark III still had the old-school mid to late 2000s canon colors SOOC, and fine grain.
I had the 1ds mark iii for a couple of years itâs in the same kind of area but not quite as good in terms of look when everything is right but itâs a better camera than the 5d, if you like what it offers just get one
@@MartinCastein I appreciate your input. I have a 5D and would love to try the 1DS mk III, but they're still quite pricey 2nd hand.
I also have a Fujifilm S5 Pro which I got super cheap this year :D. Same vintage as the 5D and D700, CCD sensor with very Fujifilm slide-like IQ, 6 MP only! I has uncanny dynamic range on the highlights.
Ahhh I remember back in the day the s5 was so highly regarded, that camera should have classic status too, I never used one but I remember everyone that had one loved it. I had forgotten it till you just mentioned it! Hmmm thinking now âŠ
@@MartinCastein hehe do it! Gotta keep the love for those old flagship DSLRs going :P
It's a Nikon body so it'll be compatible with all your Nikon glass
Hey Martin, enjoying ur videos. I shot photo of some bikes years Mamiya 645. No longer have it but came out so nice and beautiful colors. It surprised me. U gota see it. Itâs on my Flickr page. How do I send u link ?
put the link here i will approve it, i have links turned off due to spam so i have to approve them
@@MartinCastein ok. done. shot w/ portra 400. 120 film.
Which one is best for low light and portraits ?
D700 easily
@@MartinCastein thank you very much. Is d700 even better than 6d mark 1 in low light?
No, the 6d is a lot better in low light
Where are the comparison photos?
right there in the video
@@MartinCastein Thanks, but they are all completely different shots with different lighting. Would be much more useful to shoot the cameras alongside each other. Good video though.
@@michaelbell75 i owned the cameras at different times unfortunately and most of the pictures from the d700 are over 10 years old, which is a shame really.
I'm the kind of person who owns other cameras and I just want magic colors.
As a photographer I worked with a 5D MkI. Sometimes I shared an event with another photographer who worked with a D700. I realized that the D700 was much better in three subjects that I dinnÂŽt like about the 5D. Processing speed, screen and low light AF. The 700 is probably more comfortable to work for example as a weddings photographer, until you download the pictures to the computer, especially when you shoot under daylight. The D700 is a great camera and maybe the 5D makes you work a little harder. But the image quality of the 5D brings always satisfaction to the eye. That is my opinion. Greetings.
get a nx mini
Yah, well, my favorite part of my 5D mark one other than the mirror falling off, albeit a dozen years after buying it, is the filthy dust gathering nature of the sensor. While glue fixes the one, nothing really fixes the other. Perhaps the alleged film-like quality is actually dust and low resolution? Yes the dynamic range is awful. I never thought it was classic anything but apparently it has a cult status like the x-pro 1, which is way more deserved being the only digital Contax G-2 replacement out there. And then, when do they fail and who fixes them when they do? Mine is still plugging along but it is electronic stuff, how long until those ribbon cables are goo? Have you ever seen a repair video for an old electronic item? I mean parts degrade and go to hell just sitting there over time. Not a problem so far, but???
I feel like what Patton said in his speech in the movie: "When you put your hand over into a bunch of goo that was formerly...... you'll know what to do" Or words to that effect. Yet since it is not yet goo I am at a loss for the moment, I must ponder the goo moment ahead of time..... perhaps the solution is the 400 plus year lifespan of slide film?
The dust on the sensor is a bit of an issue but the camera produces excellent images, I had the x pro 1 for ages as well and I really liked it. Was the Fuji I enjoyed shooting with.. I still think the 5d 1 is incredibly capable.
Only if 5D and 700D have two slots i would never touch modern camera.
Yes itâs a shame but is what it is
That's. Sony. And. NIKONS. Used. Sony cheps. NIKONS. Use. Sony. Sensors. NIKONS. Are. Sony. On. Disgays
Not all Nikons, d700 didnât have a Sony sensor. Was Nikons own.
yes i do sir , i know what you are talking about with 5D classic , and if people want to see it , here you go i have not seen these colors and 3D effect anywhere else except large format film , or medium format film, and that is expensive and combursome and much harder , and something you need to do as a job , so here are the images drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hEwyFuBaY62EEva-9b_6Ep-3aK3-Lpyd?usp=drive_link
