We bought a 5D! :)




We just added to our already killer line of cameras! :) With Katie now shooting with me at every wedding (she was shooting only at some our weddings this last year), we really needed to get her a decent camera. She had been shooting with my 10D, which a few years ago was a great camera, but is lagging behind the current technology quite a bit. :) So, she'll inherit my 20D which is amazing and I'll be shooting full time now with my Mark II N and our brand spankin new 5D!

The images out of this camera are amazing! So sharp and amazing color, not to mention REALLY low noise levels at high ISO. (for those of you who don't speak "photo nerd language"...which by the way is the offical term....that basically means the pictures look clean even when you're shooting in low light! :)

We have our first wedding this year out in Colorado this weekend so I'm super excited to use it out there and really see how it does. :)

Here are a few test shots:

A nice lemon from the tree in our yard. :)



Some pretty flowers.... :)



And of course my official model, Katie. :) (for the record she didn't ask for this position, it was just granted to her.) :)

So did you like all the features of the 5d better than the new Mark 3 that just came out?

The Mark III is tempting and I'm sure at some point we'll upgrade to it, but we really needed something now that would do the trick and the Mark III doesn't come out till April.

Plus, having a full frame camera seemed appealing. Now all three of our cameras have different crop factors which will be great for different situations. this past weekend it was great to be able to shoot with the 20D, Mark II N, and the 5D. Last year the 20D was really my main camera and this past weekend I shot a majority with the 5D and the Mark II and it worked out great. All three cameras have different advantages in different areas so it's great to have that diversity.
