To be clear, my perception of the 5D being more "film like" than its predecessors may largely be because it was the first full-frame digital camera I ever used. Suddenly my old stable of EF glass was producing similar results to what it had produced on my film cameras. (And by "similar," I mean that the depth of field matched, and they vignetted, and... other possibly difficult to explain characteristics that I then associated with "film" cameras. You know, because film cameras had the same size "image sensor.").

That makes sense. For most of us (who didn’t have deep pockets enough yet for a 1Ds or who didn’t want to carry something so big), I think you’ve hit on the reaction that lots of us had. :-)

Well, OK, if you need a logical reason to carry a cool older camera,they seem to have less red, the red channel blows out much less easily (on 20D and probably 5D as well) so probably better on skin tones, for one. Higher resolution seems to make things more harsh but I'm not sure the resolution is really much lower either

There are a few advantages, these are cheap now but not at intro actually very expensive then so tend to be very nice cameras, although 5D definitely not a tough camera imo. 20D has 1/250 synch, always some actual advantages, one body against another, it seems

I don't know if you are an Adobe subscriber, but I have had a blast revisiting some of my early digital shot work on 6-12MP cameras using Adobe's Super Resolution upscaler. 5D images really hold up scaled like this and for the most part look like they were shot at much higher resolution.

I own a license to Gigapixel AI, but Adobe takes a much lighter approach without additional sharpening or NR, and is my preference for anything that isn't strictly a rescue image.

The other thing I have noticed is that 5D images seem to convert beautifully to black and white...Show more →

Went back through some 5D photos today to try the upscaling on, and not as many to choose from as I was just getting into photography earnestly, but the colors and rendering are still special today.

Easy enough to upscale these to 20ish mp without much issue...if you can tolerate the shortcomings in the field, these CR2 files hold up great in modern LR.
