The Canon 5D - A Wonderful Camera!
Strengths: Low noise, great color, fantastic resolution, very high quality build, 35 mm sensor.
Weakness: None
After about 700 shots, the thrill continues. Almost no degradation up to ISO 800, ISO 1600 very usable. Using the new Canon 24-105 IS lens allows low light shooting without hand shake below 1/3 second. The best photographic tool I've ever used. I've owned the best, starting with the Nikon D1x, and this camera is a fantastic standout. I'm breathless! Congratulations to Canon.
