Just walked in the door with my 5d, having upgraded from a 10d. I tested a model at the store and I even tested the one that I bought, everything but the shutter release. I saved that for a solid, respectable img_00001. It was a risk but I have high hopes for the camera and I wished it good luck by giving it something nice to look at right out of the womb.
I got a little hasty and snapped the apartment building across from me. It is a tad underexposed but not a bad result. The image shown and the full jpg (available on my pbase site) are untouched, right out of the camera. Nothing special for sure.
As for upgrading from a 10d, here are my first impressions:
1) Almost exactly the same feel as the 10d (feels lighter). The bg-e4 grip is definitely nicer and bigger. It is so much more a part of the camera than the BG-ED.
2) Focus is way better in my short experience. Part of that is how well you can see in that big viewfinder. All my lenses feel faster and more accurate.
3) Shutter sound is solid. I almost drooled when I first heard it. I don't think its quieter than the 10d but it sounds better to my ears. Bigger but more subdued.
4) 17mm is SO wide its almost psychadelic. I am going to love shooting that wide.
5) I take way better pictures now, I am 3 inches taller, and I am WAY more handsome.

Just kidding (I think)! This camera is calling me more and more.
