Anybody still shooting with a 5Dc? I love mine, maybe I'll upgrade when Canon gets to a 90 or 100D. ;)

I'd still have mine if it had more than one usable AF point. I really didn't have any complaints other than that. Although I have to say the increased FPS, high ISO capability, and higher megapixels of the 5DIII have been great.

I replaced mine with a D800e. I loved the 5Dc but it doesn't come close to the 800.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I replaced my 5D, then 1DSMIII with the Nikon D800 as well. The 800 series is what the 1DSMIV should have been.

My sister, the professional baker and cake decorator once told me that my camera takes great pics. My reply was that I thought her oven baked great cakes.:lol:

I do too. I'll keep it until it's well and truly dead, or until the 5D III comes down in price significantly. My only complaint is the relatively crappy auto focus. Other than that, it takes great photos!

Mine served me very well for a lot of years in my business. Now that I retired (last year) I just can't see the need to upgrade. I keep thinking about 5DIII, but then I think why?

Heh! Yeah, check that 5D Classic thread, you'll see, it's still plenty alive for a lot of us!

One thing you do hear from people, there are a lot of people who have gotten newer gear, and despite the advantages of the new gear they still enjoy using the 5DC!

It would have been rather embarrasing for Nikon if the 5D had come close. ;)

Yes it would have. I shot with a 5Dc at work until 2 years ago when i upgraded. I considered going to the 5DII and then the 5DIII but neither offered a huge advantage for the type of photography I do at work.
