Congratulations Arhi! I played with a 5D today in Sydney at a trade show. Slippped my CF card in and took some images too, but will not post them until they are available locally (I *could* have mine next week if all goes to plan! ).

The camera is a pleasure to use! Mirror slap is not excessive as someone reported previously - the camera feels like a grown-up 10D in that regard. The shutter noise is low compared to the 20D, and the mirror slap seems less noticeable as well.

Shutter is rated at 100,000 actuations, folks! More when I get my hands on my own little 5D soon...

I'm looking forward to having a play with one of these...lol

Rudi, just get the 1, you know you want to ! Does the shutter sound like the 1 shutter ?

The shutter is more like the 10D shutter, but the camera feel is somewhere between the 10D and the 1D, closer to the 1D in feel. The menus are just like the 10D. I rather like that!

The LCD is HUGE, and I feel I won't be reaching for the 10D much after the 5D arrives. Might want to start looking for a new home for it...

Paint it black and put a 5D badge on it!

Hi Rudi,

Where was the trade show where you got to play with it? I'm in Sydney too. Not planning to get a 5D anytime soon, but a quick play would be nice

Ok, I just took few (50 shots) with this camera. I will post them after a while to a new topic. Let you have some taste with 100% corners from 35mm L and 70-200 L lenses.

Sorry Guy, have 24 TS-E as my widest lens at the time, and didn't shoot any photos with it yet. If you lend me some of your wide lenses, I can shoot some sample pictures for you

I think it was MR that commented it was not as good in bright light as some of the latest LCDs on other camera brands. He did mention a brand as having great LCD technology but can't remember who.

I noticed that Canon has got rid of those stupid "dumb" Modes on the dial, Its about time!

That LCD screen looks nice too, Wonder how it performs in bright lighting conditions.

Looks like a really nice well built camera, Nice size too.

Thanks for the pics Arhi.

Can't wait till Canon replaces LCD's with OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens. I read that Kodak has started replacing LCD's with this new technology on a few of its P&S cameras (Don't ask me which models?).

The benifit of OLED Vs LCD is:

*Lower power consumption.
*Better under bright lighting conditions (easier to see)
*cheaper to produce
*and lasts longer than LCD's (Less pixel burn)

Well thats what I read anyway.....

Yeah, in images it looks huge but when you actually use it, its humongous. The viewfinder too. Much bigger than my film camera. The shutter seemed a lot more like a 1v to me than a 10d.

I wrote my thesis on OLED's and ACTFEL devices (alternating current electro luminescent thin-film), but I haven't read a word about them since I graduated. The primary benefits that interested us at the time were the superior brightness and viewing angle compared to other flat displays. LCD's have improved a ton in that time, though.

Probably not going to happen.... they will use SED.

They are developing this technology with toshiba.

IŽll take the next flight to Finland. There is a voice in my head saying: You want the 5D. You want the 35L. You need the 5D. You need the 35L.

See you soon :-)

Either, that was the list price. What I paid for it .. let's just say that it came to me with a price that no-one could have resisted


Can you get two at that price? :-)

Mike,

It was only a one day thing organised by a photographic equipment supplier - invitation only. (I must have spent just enough with them to get invited. ).

Don't worry - I'm told the 5D should be in the stores VERY soon! The first shipment is pretty much pre-sold though (I know! I have my name on one of them ).

I think it was SONY. My dead SONY F505v had the LCD that could be viewable under the Sun.
