Hey Guys,

This was my first portrait session with the 5d taken on Friday. It is a beautiful camera, and I am looking forward to doing two more sessions on Monday with it. I am still getting used to it...so far, so good though. The files are absolutely HUGE...3744x5616...or 60.2 megabytes a file, uncompressed. So large, I don't quite know what to do with them. Having said that, they give you a huge amount of room to crop with.

They take about 23 seconds to process with my new desktop (which handled my 10d files in about 6 seconds) which has a quadcore processor and 8 gigs of ram on board.

My only gripe so far has been the AF. It definitely seems slower than the 40d. Having said that, it gets the job done. The images are razor sharp.

James
