Canon 5d Still Worth Buying?

[Overread]

The 5Dc is old, but if you want a cheap way to get into fullframe digital photography then its one of the best options for price. Yes there are newer and better cameras, but they are going to cost you way more to invest in.

The only thing, with your situation, that might hold me back if I were you is that its expensive just running one DSLR setup - trying to run two at the same time is even more expensive - or you end up with one dominating and the other hardly touched (unless it provides some very specific needs that you know you want and can't get otherwise with the other camera brand).

If you shot Canon I'd say go for it if landscapes/portraits/weddings/street (mostly anything that isn't sports/wildlife type affairs) were the things that you tended to shoot as experiencing the larger format can be beneficial for those areas. However since you've only got Nikon at present you wouldn't just have to get the 5Dc, you'd need lenses and batteries and such to go with it. By the time you've totalled up the investment chances are there is something fullframe in the Nikon range that you could have gotten.

Back when i shoot with 5dc and 5D2, when I edit the photos, I didnt really see a difference with the files. I love them. The only bad part is really the lcd screen. When I playback the shots, they dont look anything special. It looks gazzilion better on the computer. The auto WB sucks too. Other than that, 5Dc really gave me a big push. I really felt my photos were so much better.

How does the lcd screen on the 5dmII look compared to the 5dc? in bright daylight and indoors.
