Is Canon 5D A Professional Camera

Switched from Canon 5D MarkIV to Nikon D850. I am not a professional photographer but learning to get good a it. So far I am very impressed with camera. I still learning the Nikon feature and operations of the camera. I am happy with the switching of brand.

I've been shooting on a 5DMIII for years, and was hoping the XT3 would be the mirrorless camera system that replaced my heavy DSLR. It was a blast to shoot on, I loved the way it felt and operated in hand, and was pretty impressed with the image as well. Ultimately, however, I ended up returning it and will instead get the 5D MIV, just because the Canon ecosystem has much to offer for editorial work and is better suited for fast-paced, professional work. However, if I was looking for a camera for general shooting, street photography, or travel, the Fujifilm XT3 would be my first pick, and in fact I plan to purchase one again in the future for personal use. In summary: The Fujifilm XT3 is such an awesome and fun camera to shoot on, and produces beautiful images, however I don't think it can replace a tried-and-true DSLR like the Canon 5D for everyday professional work.

IS EXCELLENT, PROFESSIONAL CATEGORY FOR LIGHTWEIGHT CAMERAS. FOR CANON 5D EXCELLENT

Professional use on a 5D. As with all Canon L series lenses, the glass is perfect. I also use the 16-35mm f2.8L and the 24-70mm f2.8L zooms. The 135mm f.2L prime lens just looks a bit sharper than the zooms. They are all great though. Auto Focus is extremely fast & quiet. Very happy with this purchase from B&H.

I'm a professional photographer, I have 4 Canon 5d Mk III and every single one is using Vello grip. Never had problems, never lost a session due to problems with grip :) I don't see the reason to sped big $$$ on canon grip if you can buy absolutaly same quality off brand grip.

I wanted a professional tripod for shooting video with my Canon 5D Mark III. Cost was a major factor. I've used Sachtlers shooting with larger format cameras. This tripod met the high standards of those tripods. The adjustable drags work well,allowing for smooth pans and tilts and the ball head and built in bubble level are a great convenience. It comes with a carrying case which is well constructed. High marks all around for this rig.

There is no better screen protector available anywhere for professional digital cameras. I installed this on my new Canon 5D IV and the touchscreen continues to function flawlessly. It goes on with ease and you will be the only one to know it's there. Absolutely perfect!

Bought this for my canon 5D Mark II camera, and chose the Canon brand over other less expensive 3rd party brands due to its solid construction and locking connector. I'm using this mainly for HD video timelapse. A common complaint with many users of this brand and others is that there is no power on/off switch. So far, not an issue for me, however. The battery drain is very minimal.

This was an upgrade from the 40d. I was going to purchase the 50d, but found that the 5d mark II would give me more. I have never has a professional camera and was a little hesitant about the purchase due to the price. BUt this camera is amazing!! Glad I made the purchase.

I am a professional photographer - I have to have a great camera to earn my living. I have owned the ID MK111, the 5D MKII and the IDMKIV. The IDMKIV is, in my opinion, the best by far even though it is not full-frame like the othet two. It performs brilliantly in low light and, whether I am doing weddings, portraits, or any other event it never lets me down. In fact I have two 1DMKIV bodies and I ended up selling the 5D and 1DMK111 bodies because they are nowhere near as good as the 1DMKIV. Coupled with Canon L-Series lenses the 1DMKIV consistently produces high quality results and saves time by not having to do much post-production editing. If I could only use one camera body then the 1DMKIV would be the one.
