Canon 5D Eulogy

[Mike Farley]

It has seen four iterations and since its launch in 2005 has been go to camera for professionals and amateurs alike. The original 5D was revolutionary in putting a full frame digital camera within the reach of many people. It was not the first but it was the first to be a practical proposition. The Mk II was the first to introduce a video capability and was a precursor to what is now, with a few exceptions, a universal feature. Now that Canon is concentrating on its new mirrorless range, it is likely that there will not be a 5D Mk V. Amateur Photographer pays tribute.

Thanks Mike, a very interesting read! I brought the Mkii in 2012, moving from the 20D it took awhile to adjust to the full frame perspective - I missed the 20D's APSC crop factor magnification/perspective change but soon realised that cropping in post gave the same results, happy ever since.
