Canon - EOS 5D Digital Camera — 

The Canon 5d Camera is a great camera for professional photographers. This camera would be perfect for professional portrait photographers and event photographers. It features a full frame sensor (35mm) which is perfect for the many wide angle lenses available for the camera. It also features 12.8 megapixels. It also feels a little clunky but very sturdy. There is no on camera flash which is preferred by most professional photographers. Another great point is that the ISO range is between 50 and 3200. The Canon 5d only features 3 frames per second for continuous speed which is not appropriate for sports shooters. I believe it to have the best price for performance for when it was first introduced. The design of the camera in my hands feels great. It feels like the body of the camera was made specifically for my hands. The Canon 5d has no proper weather sealing, no protection from rain or snow. You shouldn't take this camera out in the rain or heavy snow which can make it difficult for a true professional photographer. I've taken it out in heavy snow, out of necessity, and it performed perfectly without any harm. I would not recommend this action for anyone else. Overall I would recommend this camera to any professional photographer.
