Everything You Need to Know Before Buying a Canon 5D

The Canon 5D is a classic powerhouse Digital SLR made by Canon that can shoot in different environments and low-light settings. It is also compatible with various lenses. If you're considering purchasing one of these cameras, you probably have some important questions on your mind about choosing the right camera for sale. Here are the most important things to consider when shopping for a new or used Canon 5D on eBay.

Is it okay to buy a used Canon 5D?

The Canon EOS 5D is a professional camera in every regard, which means it is built to last. If you want to know the shutter life of a used Canon 5D, you can ask the previous owner to give you that information if it is not listed. Often, professionals who have used their units extensively will get the shutter replaced after a time. While the shutter life is usually around 150,000 shots, good camera owners will get a much longer life out of their shutters. Replacing a shutter is like replacing the engine in a car, giving it a renewed lifespan. The Canon 5D is a legendary digital SLR, and you cannot go wrong with purchasing one in excellent used condition so long as you know about its previous use.

Does the Canon 5D work with any lens?

The Canon 5D has a full-frame CMOS image sensor and takes EF lens mount lenses. There are lens mount adapters at a reasonable price for the Mark series that allows you to attach multiple types of lenses on the 5D. Compatibility will vary with each type, though. There are also drivers available for certain setups that increase compatibility depending on which advanced functions the lens supports.

How do you choose a Canon 5D?

Which model of the Canon 5D you choose depends on your specific interests as a photographer. The Mark I, II, III, and Mark IV all have extreme similarities with a few significant differences in each model. Mark II, III, and IV have video modes. The following are the core differences of each model:

  • Canon 5D Mark I: ISO sensitivity 50 - 3200, continuous shooting 3fps
  • Canon 5D Mark II: ISO sensitivity 50 - 25600, continuous shooting 3.9fps, video at 30 frames per second
  • Canon 5D Mark III: ISO sensitivity 50 - 102400, continuous shooting 6fps, video at 29.97, 25, 23.976 frames per second
  • Canon 5d Mark IV: ISO sensitivity 50 - 102400, center-weighted and center spot metering, continuous shooting 7fps, video at 4K 30,25,24 frames per second

How does the Canon 5D perform shooting in low light?

Canon EOS 5D Mark I has an ISO 50 to ISO 3200 range, and the Canon Mark IV has an ISO 50-102400 range, so all of these models have a similar noise reduction in low-light conditions. The higher ISO range in all four models features very little color noise in low-light conditions.
