I absolutely LOVED my 5Dc. The ONLY reason I sold it, was that I needed something more geared towards sports, ala 1D Mark II. But the fact that the 5Dc can be had for around 700 now, it's a no brainer to pick one up. Other than the rear screen, which isn't terrible really, it's a fantastic camera.
What I like most is that there are so many threads popping up about how wonderful the 5Dclassic is. Don't see that kind of thing happen with any other camera.

I will always keep a 5D around for the very reason it's so 'old'.
I really like having to think about which ISO I want and not rely on the LCD, it reminds me a tiny bit of film, but not too much. She's a clunky old lady but she still makes very good pictures.

That clunky old lady is still many photographer's (me included) main body. I use it professionally.
I had three I used professionally for about three years before liveview and 21 meg came along and I bought a 1Ds3 and 5DII, I sold two 5D's and kept 1.
