Hi

I'm looking at getting a 5D as a backup/misses camera, I seem to remember the original model having some problems etc, I would be grateful for any advice on serial numbers/late editions, things to be aware/problems of specifically to this model.

Any help & advice would be appreciated.
 
The mirror can fall off, due to the glue not being strong enough.. Canon authorised service centres fix this free of charge (mine was done when I sent in the camera for a sensor clean). The fixed mirror has clips at either side holding it in place.

Speaking of sensor cleaning, the 5D mk I doesn't have a self-cleaning sensor, so any second-hand examples will probably need a clean.
