MY WORLD OF PHOTOGRAPHY BY Matt
9th June 2010
Highlight of the month - Canon 5D
Of late I have been pixel peeping a fair bit and the resolution of the Nikon D300 body although great, left me wondering if it could compare with a full-frame sensor. So I picked it up and had some fun with it. I am not going into any details of the specifications of the 5D as this is already an old model. I will however post a few pictures taken of my daughter taken with the 5D and let you see what it can do.
There are many bells and whistles found in new models introduced these days like Auto ISO and Video . Frankly I do not use them much. When I pick up a DSLR, I want something that works the way I want it to. If I wanted to have some fun, I'd use my Olympus EPL-1 or my wife's Sony WX-1 compact.
With my work, I almost demand that it creates the image that I want it to. I do not wish to spends hours behind the computer doing Post. Images should be fluid and sharp when needed. Many cameras these days can deliver that I must admit.
But more importantly to me, I want a camera that I can pick up constantly and wow me with images. The 5D although an old model, has a lot going for it. It sports a full-frame sensor. It gives me less noise when I compare it to a Nikon D300 and Canon 550D. The Canon 550D has many pixels crammed into it and can deliver if there is ample lighting and coupled with a good lens.
These days, I pick up the Canon 5D more than my D300 from Nikon. Will be picking up my 5D Mk II soon and let's see how that goes.
