Hello Gordon,

Hello Gordon,
thanks for this very helpful review. I have an EOS 30D with the 17-85 IS and the 70-200 f4. Now I want to know more about fullframe-slrs. What´s the main idea with cameras like the 5D/1Ds? Whats better?
Many thanks

It’s basically because EF-S lenses are only optically corrected for a smaller frame size. And they also have a slightly different mounting which is incompatible with full-frame bodies. See our lens buyers guide under the lens section at cameralabs . com…

thanks for the vid! why do “EF-S” lens can not use in a full frame sensor like eos 1d series and 5d? is the croping factor or the circuitry it self is the problem,(not compatible)Im planning to buy canon digital camera im a little bit confuse about this matter because Ive never tried the “EF-S” lens to atached to full frame camera before so i have realy no idea, thanks and more power!

Ok, thank you very much for your help:)
Another question if you don’t mind answering.
I’ve noticed some people (here in Japan) mentioning the exact number of shots their camera has taken. (i.e. 5,343shots) I was wondering if you knew a way of finding this out on any of the DSLR. (Is there a function for this?)

Hi, thank you very much for your reply. I am soooo desperate to get this camera but at the same time worried that a new model would be announced right after my purchase… By January, did you mean there was a show back in January or there will be one in 2009?

Who knows?! There’s basically two big shows this year, one in January and one in September - the latter is our next likely bet, but it may still not happen…

hey Gordon
Thank you very much for your help on this. I have reviewed both of your lens reviews and it has absolutely helped me a lot!! I am really thinking about getting this camera but the truth is, I’m waiting for the new model for the 5D (mark II?) I know you get this question alot and again all we can do is guess but when would you say the next model for the 5D is going to come out? thanks again:)

I’d say the …
I’d say the metering is roughly similar to models like the 30D. So it’s generally pretty good, but not quite as clever as Nikon’s metering in tricky situations. You can see examples taken in fully automatic with the 5D in our 5D, 24-105mm and 17-40mm reviews at the Cameralabs website.

Great vid!
I have one question regarding the metering on the 5D. I was at store today here in Japan and have been testing the camera. I tried out a few shots on Manual mode and found that the metering jumped all arounde even if I were to pan the camera just so slightly. How accurate would you say the metering is on the 5d? (the metering was not set on spot, it was the most common one it measures 35areas. sorry I don’t know the name for it.) thanks.

Nikon have come out with some gorgeous stuff but - even if i could cheaply swap al my lenses - I’d still prefer the aging 5D. Roll on the MKII…

What I’m saying is …
What I’m saying is the full frame sensor can be very unforgiving on lesser optics. An EF lens which might deliver great results on a cropped body might disappoint on a full-frame.

I have to disagree with you about the use of high end lenses, meaning the Canon “L” lenses. I’ve had my 5d for a month, took it on a photo shoot out of town with my non-L lens, the Canon 28-200 3.5-5.6, shot over 400 pix and I was soo impressed with the image quality. I also have two “L” lenses, the 16-35 and the 100-400 but don’t like to travel if I can help it with them. I think this hoopla about Poor image quality with non-L’s is propaganda by Canon.

an image with the …
an image with the effective focal length of 16mm, as the image has been cropped by the smaller sensor.
To get the effective focal length, multiply the lens’ focal length by the crop factor of the sensor. In above demonstration it would be 10mm x 1.6 = 16mm.
300d/350d/400d/450d/40d/30d/20d/10d have 1.6x crop factors.
1dmkI/1dmkII/1dmkIII have 1.3x crop factors.
1dsmkI/1dsmkII/1dsmkIII/5d have full frame sensors.

Cameras such as the …
Cameras such as the 400d/40d have a sensor that is 1.6x smaller than one section of film. So when a picture is taken with this, some of the image doesnt record on the sensor, and because of this crop factor is alters a lens’ effective focal length. For example; using a 10mm wide angle on a full frame sensor will produce a picture with an effective focal range of 10mm, as the entire image was captured on the sensor. However using a 10mm lens on a 1.6x crop factor camera, is will produce…

Another affordabe alternative is the EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM lens, It’s not an L lens, but very sharp and the USM is quick.

Those are completely different cameras at different prices. The 450D is a relatively basic camera that’s a step-up from a beginners model, whereas the 5D is a semi-pro model with a full-frame sensor. It depends how much you want or need full-frame. Read the article which goes with this video (linked to the right of the video) to find out more about full-frame.
