p.2 #2 · How slow is the 5D classic?


I had the 20d,30d and the 5D at the same time. 5d is a little slower in shutter lag and VF blackout. The 5D is slower is fps. I never got use to the shutter lag in the 5D when shooting both the 30D and the 5D side by side. So yes the 5D is slower.

What situations did you come across photographing people, flowers or landscapes where you even think you'll run into a buffer issue with any camera?

Before my 30D I used a 300D. I just wanted to make sure it's not 300D kinda slow. With that camera I would often have to wait for the buffer to clear if I shot RAW, Never a problem with my 30D and it looks like it wont be a problem with the 5D.


5D is not slow like a 300D (what is these days????) but is slow compared to a 40D in focus (AF + low light), buffer, FPs but is light years ahead in IQ.

The buffer does keep chruning though (and I haven't filled it) but it's still chomping when the 40D has finished what's doing.

I run both and use each for it's features, menu is dated compared to the new bodies and DIGIC II is slow compared to III + IV.

IF IQ is what you're after, you won't be dissapointed with a 5D.

5D's AF is actually not slow at all, and more importantly, very accurate in bright daylight. If you talk about the burst speed of the camera, yeah it is Digital Rebel speed only.

do u really think more FPS will get u better IQ?
(im not being sarcastic, just curious)
The 5D has a very good buffer size, and speed has never ever been an issue for me.
