Conclusion: Amazing camera
Review: Amazon had the cheapest price (at the time) and the camera is everything I expected and more. I upgraded from a Rebel XT. At the same time I bought two new L-series lenses - well worth the money. I'm still learning all of the features this camera offers. The low-light shots are amazing - the speed is great. I'm a semi-pro photographer and am extremely happy with my purchase - even knowing that any day now Canon is going to roll out the upgrade.

Conclusion: Like it, but too pricey right Now
Review: My first and still digital camera was the Canon 10D, 6.1MP. I have taken that from Alaska to Alabama and loved it. If I was to add an addition to the family it would be the 5D. Not only is it quiet, streamlined and efficient, the screen is picture perfect large and clear.
As for now though, the 5D is on hold and the 10D reigns supreme. CP

Conclusion: Amazing!
Review: This camera is everything I thought it would be and MORE! I took it to Disneyland the week I bought it and took some pictures of the firework show and they turned out perfect! I upgraded from a Canon Powershot S2 IS, and while that's a great camera to learn on, the 5D allows you to I completely recommend this camera to anyone looking for a more professional camera that will allow them to use their full range of camera skills. I love love love this camera!

Conclusion: Just buy it
Review: Buying this camera involved me changing my bank and walking 5 miles in a snowstorm to transfer cash from one account to another. Why do you need to know this? Because this camera is worth it!
This is a VERY serious camera and, if you put in the effort, it will reward you.
There are a couple of caveats though. It is a big beast and if, like me, you have the extra battery pack it makes it very heavy although it does improve the handling. Also, the supplied lens has a 77mm front element so be prepared to pay nearly $300 for a polarizing filter.
Do you need this camera? Well, if you're asking my advice, probably not. Do you want this camera - oh yes indeed!

Conclusion: Incredible Quality
Review: I have owned the 5D for about 5 months. I was waiting for the 5D Mark II but I decided not to wait any longer and I am glad I didn't. Previously I had used a Rebel XT that I still own and have as a second body. Reading the review that gave it only 2 stars is just a bit dissapointing. The overwhelming number of people (pros and amateurs alike) that have truly used this camera as it was designed (that is, coupled with the right choice of lens) have had outstanding results. This camera is excellent when used with the right lens; I have used it with my Canon 16-35mm 2.8 L II and the full frame just sings edge to edge with beautiful,smooth tones and sharpness (think exquisite landscapes). Vigneting is not an issue in my experience; because of all the reviews posted, to go into a full review will be repetitious so I won't. Just for fun, I used a "consumer" lens to test it and it truly shows all the flaws of the cheaper optics; this reinforced the notion that you really cannot use this camera with lower quality glass.
In addition, I have used it with my Canon 70-200mm 2.8 L with excellent results (portraiture and sports).
I am not a Canon snob; in my 20 years of the hobby, I have used and still own a Nikon F with Nikkor lenses, as well as other Pentax and Canon cameras. I truly believe that now Canon has the best selection of lenses to go with many future cameras (I am still waiting for the 5D Mark II). The closest camera that Nikon has that is full frame is the D3, which has received great reviews but retails for $5,000.
Summary- This is an outstanding camera for the price; it has taken my photography to a whole new level.
