  • assessing canon 5d degradation and value

    Posted by Dan Freshman on October 6, 2011 at 2:53 am

    Hello,

    I have a 5d that has had a fair amount of use and am curious if people have advice about censor degradation based on actuations and any way to figure out this number? Anyone have any advice for the life of a new canon 5d?

    My search on the cow has not yielded any results which is surprising so I apologize if I missed some threads.

    Thanks for any help!

    Have run 2 for 3 years, got Canon Service to clean sensor on one, once. We do a lot of stills and HD Video 1920 x 1080p and no issues. Send it back to Canon for service, cost about $100 aud, as they left ours at ISO 6400 by mistake, it would be worth checking if that is done as they check everything.We usually run on Auto ISO and -1 Exposure to remove overexposure in highlights ?
