My new Canon 5d is already here! The set contains – Canon 5d, 24-105 L (Image Stability), Canon Speedlite 580II, 2x4GB Compact Flash memory. I had the opportunity to use it for the first time while shooting reportage. I have taken some photos of Bill Hybels, whom you see in the photo. My first impressions about the camera are:
Advantages
- Balanced weight of the body and the lenses – the grip helps for that balancing, as well as the vertical trigger which is perfect for vertical shooting
- an easy access to the functions for Iso, White balance – I do not need to search for them in the menu, they have been taken outside it with buttons
- big – 3” display, quick overview showing the exactness of the zooming
- wide glass (there is no built in flash) – there is the ability to cover a larger area of the shot
- very little noise in 1600 iso
Disadvantages
- the body of the camera, the lenses (24-105L) and the flash are pretty heavy – when used for a long time the hands get tired (heavy)
- the vignetation of the angles – in 24 mm one can clearly see the vignetation of the full frame matrix
- the lenses have diaphragm 4, if it had 2,8 it would have been better for a reportage
