Great Camera.......2007-09-19
I got this as an upgrade from my 350d (rebel xt) and it is fantastic. If you have a good collection of lenses, you will notice the upgrade in performance, though on my 28 1.8 prime, the distortion was a little more pronounced than it was on the 350d.
Another thing I wish I had considered was the 5d kit (with 24-105) which offers a significant discount on the lens.
Canon 5D.......2007-09-06
As a professional photog I purchased this when my fathful 20D's shutter went south ( which by the way was just at the 50K mark for it's rating) anyway I figured I would get the 5D because I had heard so much about it. Well as a Canon shooter...I was not really that impressed. For the extra expense over another 20D or 30D...the only thing that it had over these two cameras as far as image quality was the 12MP size. And as far as I am conserned as primairly a wedding shooter...I really didn't need the extra editing time it would take me to process that large an image file. I do not shoot raw since I can expose an image very well and don't need to shoot raw. As far as the FULL FRAME FEATURE...again..I have been fully digital for the past 5 years...and I actually prefer the cropped sensor since it gave me farther reach with my long lenses. So I guess I got so use to a 1.6 sensor that a full frame seemed way to wide. After all the EF-S 10-20 3.5 superwide lens designed for a 1.6 sensor was all the wide angle I'd ever need. So..I sent it back...and I BOUGHT THE NEW 1Ds MARK III....and holi moli...expensive as it was...this camera can capture any shot in any light lightining fast. The shutter at 10fps sounds like an UZI sub machine gun. Now, had I not rationalized ( and thank goodness I did) into a Mark III purchase. I would have bought another 30D and waited for the 40D to be released as I always shoot a wedding or event with two cameras. One Short and One Long.
The 1.3 crop factor on the Mark III is absolutely perfect. If I never see a full frame camera again...I won't miss it at all. Now I can't use my EFS 10/20 on the Mark III but I fixed that...I just bought a 16/35 2.8 L Glass lens for my new baby :)
Canon EOS 5D Digital Camera.......2007-08-29
I have been using the Canon 10D for several years and decided to upgrade to the 5D. While the 10D was good, the 5D is much better from the photographer's point of view.
For one thing it has a much faster response. All digital cameras go to sleep after a minute or so of inactivity. When that perfect action shot comes along the 10D needed 10 seconds or so to wake up. By that time the shot is gone. The 5D wakes up in less than a second. In many cases, that feature alone saves the day.
Also, the Digic II processor in the 5D seems to do a much better job of analyzing the scene and setting the best combination of aperture and shutter speed. I recently shot a white car on a bright sunny day. Normally that would be a very difficult exposure to get perfect. The 5D performed effortlessly on every frame.
I also like the full frame sensor in the 5D. No more multiplying the focal length of the lens by some factor to get the effective focal length. What you see is what you get.
In short, the 5D is a great camera.
The Camera That Changed The World!.......2007-08-25
50 years from now if you go to the Smithsonian Museum you'll find the Canon 5D on display. It is the first pro-sumer level DSLR that has a full sized frame sensor. If you don't know why that's important - you have no business buying this camera. If you do, then you already know why this camera is so special.
The build is top notch. Solid feel, well laid out controls, wide selection of accessories, everything you could want in a top of the line camera. I honestly can't think of anything I would have done differently. Some of the professional reviews mention little picky things that they would change, but for me this camera is perfect.
Great buy!!.......2007-07-29
I bought this camera after using the EOS Rebel 2000 Film camera for 7 years. I bought it because of its Full frame sensor.
The camera is very sharp at all ISOs upto 800.
The camera is great for most lighting conditions with default settings. It needs some experimentation for dealing with difficult lighting conditions (high contrast outdoor and indoor).

cute device missing on the Titanic.......2003-01-07
The VN90 is a cute device that looks like a cell phone but feels like a light plastic toy
i have mine for more than a year and it still works. Unlike tapes, digital is magic and seems it will last forever. I wish they were playing with these on the Titanic so we could listen to old conversations and notes from the past, provided they were left in air pockets, a posting says it does not survive washmachine :-(
i use it a lot! i also still use paper notes, it's a competition
voice notes are easier to take, like during a hike, and much safer while driving
taking a phone number or an address is so convienient
then at the end of day i can just review latest messages, add more when going to bed and have a more relaxed sleep (except when i come accross a rush note where I do not understand myself anymore)
i regret the ergonomy; all buttons feel the same so it is still necessary to look at the device quiclky to operate it and at night some dim light is necessary
the size is good (nice fit in hand) but i wish a mini version existed that i can attach to my keychain along with my car alarm, always
the device is easy to use, sturdy, and the 2 batteries last almost forever
note that at replacement messages are NOT lost
i like the 3 folders A,B,C capability and the fact that folder C has date-month compartiments is great, though it takes forever to review messages in these 365 boxes the sound is of pretty good quality (i wish my answ machine had such a sound, so i can record music in my greeting) An when it's not clear it's because there was noise around. Unfortunately there's no feature 'record my voice but not the background noise of the street or restaurant'
the device has no computer link capability. Too bad, it would
be nice to put some 'voicessages' on hard disk.
now a few tips if you have one:
tip1: write your phone number on it on the back. This way i lost and recovered mine one day. Think that the recorder with messages of sentimental value on it is then worth much more than the original cost.
other tip: deposit some wax glue dots on the buttons (eg 1 blop on play and 2 blops on stop, imitating braille) so you can operate the device without looking at it
tip3: the microphone is not on the front but on the back! still talk as if it was on the front. However when recording on a phone handset (for example i am in Paris in a phone booth remotely reading an important message and need a copy on my olympus) please apply the back (the tiny area with 2 grooves above the word battery) on the speaker of the handset, and your ear on top of this like a sandwich. You can then hangup and replay at no cost. Works great.
Peice Of Crep.......2002-12-12
I Bought this peace of crip to record different things that I hear. It only records fuzz. I hate this piece of plastic. It cost me a few dollars to buy, and when I record sounds that I hear, it distorts them and makes them sound like flatulance. I can not believe that this peace of crud works so badly. Don't buy it. It should burn!
A 67 minutes recorder.......2002-08-08
I bought this recorder because it can record 180 minutes. There are three recording modes. For 180 minutes, you have to put up with very poor sound quality. The sound of standard play mode is excellent, but only record 67 minutes.
Don't wash this machine.......2002-08-05
I came to feel naked without this thing. It was light and inconspicuous, aside from the fact that I felt like James T. Kirk attempting to contact the Enterprise when I used it (I don't do cell phones). I forgot to empty it from my pocket when I did the wash. I guess that's one of its low points--it's unable remind you to listen to it. Otherwize, nice device. Suffice to say, I'm back to steno pads and ball point pens. It doesnt matter if I wash them, aside from the random ink stains deposited on my clothes after the spin cycle.
An unobtrusive snare for information on-the-fly.......2002-07-29
I use my Olympus daily to capture ideas, wishes, anecdotes, pipe dreams, and a lot of prosaic stuff that I might either forget after 10 minutes or not remember on cue.This recorder's small and light so you can pull it out anywhere you're not self-conscious about speaking into a microphone.Sample entries: the name of the dish I had at the Thai restaurant, a memo to add "Return videos"to my pre-travel checklist after watching someone ahead of me in line pay a hefty fine for not doing so, to-do items, work gossip and gripes, purchases to consider, requests made and favors promised, diary entries in real time.Technical: It is only really useful (intelligible) in the SP mode, about an hour.It is durable and reliable, but the battery cover and clip are vulnerable to breakage.If you need to record lectures, you should consider another DVR with removable memory media.Finally, I wish this recorder had user security. Maybe they could come up with password protection using "chord" combinations of the buttons.
