no they made it an amateur body again, it won\'t AF with that.
body itself is rebel class in many ways
sensor and video obviously aren\'t though
That\'s ridiculous!
This is just spite, and not an informed opinion.
The 5D is a pretty rugged body. PLENTY of pros rely upon it. I\'ve had mine for almost two years, and have knocked it about more than a bit.
Yeah, I had the eyes rolling when I read that. The 5 is clearly not a 1-series (\"pro\") but it\'s better than my 40D (\"prosumer\").
Comments like the above make you wonder if the poster has ever held either camera.
notice the discussion was on body performance NOT body housing
of course the physical housing of the 5D is way better than a rebel, but lots of the performance bits are only slightly better than rebel class and all are worse than 1 series pro class (including the AF at f/8 that was under question here) and all are also worse than 20D-50D class body performance specs (again, as I said, ignoring the sensor and video components; the AF is better than rebel class for sure, not 1 series class, better than 50D? not sure if it is known yet, maybe in some ways, maybe in all ways, maybe in no ways, likely worse on the outer points at the least, hopefully it is otherwise better)
