Yes
im about to buy a canon 5d for 300 euro second hand
to replace my canon 400d
any questions i should ask the seller
he said it took 10,000 shots
thanks peeps.
or do you have any reccomendations
 
Do you have any photos of the camera? It should be looking pretty immaculate for such a low count on an old body.
 
You are coming from a 400d which is a crop body, any Canon EF-S (or similar mount 3rd party lenses) won't fit on the 5D which is full frame. Full frame bodies require EF mount lens, full frame also sometimes known as FX vs DX format of a crop.

Do you have an existing lens and if yes what are they?
 
You could sell your 400D with lens,and put it toward an FF lens,but why would you like to go FF over crop ? :)
 
just need to replace my 400d because its packed up had to use my manual camera
so im just trying to replace not really up on crop or ff
what ever is the handiest
thanks for reply
 
I still enjoy using my 5D MK 1 occasionally I got it second hand and it's produced some very nice images.
I can't see me ever selling it if I'm honest as there isn't any other Canon cameras I feel worth or need to upgrade to.
It's still a fine camera and capable of producing excellent images :)
 
Looks like the one you link to has the rubber flap missing that covers the connector port. I would definately give it a miss at that price.

There is a nice 5D classic in the classifieds being sold by Lexie at £235.00, so that shows how expensive the one your looking at is.

OK, in a nutshell:

"Crop" DSLRs have smaller sensors than "full frame" DSLRs. This has two important implications:
1. Some lenses which are designed specifically for crop sensors will not fit on full frame cameras.
2. Lenses which do fit will not give you the same field of view. They will appear to be much wider angle on the full frame camera.

Canon lenses which have EF-S in their name are crop-only and won't fit full frame. If you have an EF-S 18-55mm kit lens and you want to get a similar range on a full frame camera, multiply by 1.6. That gives you 28-88mm, so look for something in that sort of range.

Canon cameras which are crop sensor are the 7D series, and anything with 2/3/4 digits, eg 70D, 700D, 1000D.
