5d

5D definitely

[leahlaam]

5D FF is very attractive.......but interms of picture quality......sharpness.....bokeh......really much better?
since it's released in 2005 with digi II............
50D really cannot replace/defeat him?
and i wanna ask......if someone is aldy used to 3.0"mon with 92m pixel, is it easily acceptable for the 2.5"mon with 23m pixel?
sometimes....i think it's not easy for me to persuade myself psychologically since 5D seems a old version........
any more comment/ opinion?
thanks all ching.....
actually, i am using 40D mainly with 24-105L ......then any more opinions for me?thanks~

Long time ago, I have 5D & 20D, 40D, with a no. of lens EFS 10-22, 17-40/f4L, little white etc. As I need to shoot landscape picture & group photos with ultrawide lenses, I had to choose between APS-C 40D + 10-22 or 5D+17-40. Finally I gave up 5D because of its LIMITED depth of field in FF with the 17-40 vs the 40D+10-22 (give better sharpness for at least 3 rows of people with f8 only while 5D have to give the same sharpness with f11 to f16) <====== this is the advantage of 40D or similarly for 50D

Now I have 5D2 & 50D plus 20D, I mainly use 50D for jobs because it focus much faster and don't use 5D2 except for shooting portrait of girls (because of the limited depth of field).

Conclusion, both 50D (APS-C) & 5D (FF) can be used, but I would choose 50D with a 10-22 + 24-105 + 70-200/f2.8 rather than 5D or 5D2 with 17-40+24-105+70-200

點解會有咁嘅conclusion呢？

5D!

[Obi-Wan]

50D+10-22 is more or less than same as 5D2+17-40 (see my profile for the comparison)
50D+10-22 is definitely "SHARPER" than 5D+17-40 (I've done the for 40D+10-22 comparison with 5D+17-40 2 years ago, so I sold my 5D based on that comparison)

Also I give up using the 17-40 after buying the 10-22, even now I have the 5D2, the 17-40 still not much better than 50D+10-22

thanks ...Obi-Wan

[HelloSRV]

50D has three main characteristics that 5D didn't have
1) Less shutter delay
2) High tone priority
3) Digit IV

I have 40D and 5D b4. I sold out 5D after thoughtful comparison. No regret.

>> I gave up 5D because of its LIMITED depth of field in FF with the 17-40 >>vs the 40D+10-22

咦，如果冇計錯，FF機用24mm F8影大合照，和第一個人的距離有兩米的話，佢打後九米都清個喎 @0@

如果想避免透視變形，用35mm F8 @ 2米的話，景深有1.25米，兩行清卓卓有餘，如果有三排人，地方應有番咁上下大，可以行遠少少，同最近的人距離三米，都有大約4米景深，四行都得。

有錯請指正。

OH~~~it seems there are surprisingly supporters for 50D.......before i think most of ching will support 5D....but it seems in certain aspects, 50D can defeat 5D~~~
aiya~~~it even makes me confused ar~~really dono which one better~~

William_lau
ur analysis is really very precise~~~thanks~~

Obi-wan
after ur comparision..., i start to change my mind to 50D which is newer and,most importantly, cheaper in price~~~

[Obi-Wan]

william_lau,u are correct, but the 50D+10-22mm depth of field at the same aperture 50D@10mm >> 5D2@17mm

[h0001244]

Thanks Obi, I have the doubt you mentioned for long ago.
I do think that APS-c with 10-22 could get group photos easier than FF + 16-35 ..... that means FF has to stop down at least 1 more stop >> and turn out less the background light >> less ambient feel.
