Canon 5D (mark 1) review

This may seem like an odd video to do in 2010!

But you can actually get a canon 5d Mark 1 for around £1000  or sometimes a bit cheaper (check here Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)), but is it worth it?
Is the full frame 12mp 5  year old Canon camera worth forking out a grand when you can now get a Canon 60D or Nikon D7000 which have many more features and better iso abilities and video!

The Canon 75-300mm USM Mark 3 lens is a pretty long reaching telephoto lens and when attached to a cropped sensor camera it is a stonking great reach. The equivelent of 450mm+

Now that is a lot of reach and for a lens that is super cheap as well.

but it is missing a few things
