I agree with Daan about the lack of LiveView, but this can be worked around for most
landscape shooting at f/8, f/11. Just go through a testing process and check that
either:
a) Auto focus is suffiently accurate at infinity focus to give good sharpness
or
b) The focusing screen and/or focus confirmation light gives good results at
landscape distances.
This second option may require precise re-calibration of the focusing screen washers
(shims).
You can get great landscape results with the 5D if you work at it;
I agree the 5DII is preferable, if you can afford it.
