There is just something about the Canon 5D that just captures portraits so nicely. Even with the new cameras with higher pixel counts etc. the 5D just had that certain look. You do that camera the proper justice with your images.
A lot of people seem to say this about the original 5D specifically, but I don't think I agree. I've used this as my main camera for 11 years, up until very recently when I upgraded to a 5D MKIII. In my experience yes it does render a portrait nicely with the right settings and lighting, but in my experience since switching to a different camera there is no difference to how these cameras render a portrait. As well, I take a lot of care in color correcting/ custom toning in my portraits and I think the final look has much more to do with that than the camera being an original 5D. This is also my experience in using borrowed/rented 5D MKII, MKIV, and 6D cameras. Unless of course you mean to say that the entire line of 5D cameras has a remarkable way of rendering portraits, which I would have to agree so long as a remarkable photographer is the one using it, but this is the case in my opinion with any skilled photographer using any camera.
