 Seller changed mind October 9, 2008

I cannot rate this product simply because the seller pulled the item and even though he refunded my money promptly I missed out on the sell after he reposted it. He said he didn't have all the pieces or accessories together and had to pull the camera. Shouldn't that have been done before he posted the camera for sale in the first place??
Not only was there not enough information on the camera and I had to continually email the seller. But then I didn't recieve the emails in a timely manner to inform me that he had reposted the item.
Very disappointed.
 Camera Is Great But Do Not Buy Big Ticket Items from Amazon September 29, 2008

I gave two stars to get the attention of those wanting to buy big ticket price point goodies from Amazon.
The Canon 5D is - mostly - all that it's cracked up to be.
However, you are well advised not to buy this item through Amazon - let alone any big ticket item.
I received the camera and it was poorly packed. When I opened the camera, it appeared that it may have been a previous return. There were marks on the back of the camera as if someone using lotion or who has handled greasy food had handled the camera.
I checked the camera and, otherwise, all seemed to be working properly and all documentation and accessories were present. So, given the hassle of returning online purchases, I decided to keep the camera.
Then I was doing some high-key (background) editorial work at f22 and noticed some unusual artifact. Upon looping the sensor, it turns out that the sensor had a minor scratch. This was a latent defect that was not readily observable even upon fairly rigid inspection of the camera.
I contacted Amazon and, by this time, the return window was 20 days past. I was just looking to exchange the camera for an identical model.
Amazon's response was not just "too bad," but actually three conflicting responses which would have only compounded the problem if I sent the camera off to the "never never land" of Amazon returns. I would have been without a camera and without a refund.
One customer service agent said that I couldn't exchange the camera as Amazon doesn't sell the Canon 5D any longer. In fact, they do. Another agent said to return the camera for a refund and make sure it was insured for shipping. Upon seeking to clarify the return terms, another agent responded and said that Amazon "stands firm" by it's policy that a return cannot be made after the 30 day window has expired.
My mistake? First, not returning the item immediately. Second, not spending a couple more hundred to have the peace of mind of dealing with a trusted camera shop. The moral of the story is "Do not buy big ticket items from price point online vendors such as Amazon unless you can take the downside of getting burned."
Welcome to the new world of retail.
 Love this camera! August 31, 2008

This camera is awesome. It is great in low light and I can still ghost images which I prefer doing. I've gone to the dark side (digital) and I really enjoy it. This is my first DSLR.
Performed as Expected August 30, 2008
Pio Valenzuela (Williamston, MI USA)
The first time I saw the Canon EOS 5D was back in 2005, shortly after it was released. To me, it represented the logical digital version of a full-frame 35mm SLR at a fraction of the cost of the top-of-the-line offerings from Canon and Nikon. I purchased the kit, which includes the EF 24-105mm zoom lens, for a trip to Japan, with the intent of using this as my primary walk around camera. It performed as expected: the 24mm wide angle was very useful, as was the 105mm. Resolution, color balance, etc. were very good to excellent. Indoor exposures with ISO 400 were excellent, and IS system worked well, since I did not bring a tripod. (I also brought the 100mm macro lens and 100-400mm zoom lens from Canon for the trip).
Stellar camera! August 18, 2008

I have researched for one of the best DSLR cameras without breaking the bank and have found it in the 5D model. A very flexible camera, truly a masterpiece for shooting landscapes and portraits as well as anything in between, the 5D fulfills any needs I had prior to owning it. My only wish is that it had a more flexible bracketing system, such as 5 frames bracketing instead of 3 frames. Still, worth its weight in gold, the 5D is the one DSLR I would recommend for any job and for any serious amateur or pro photographer out there.
