Dood, i felt like i went back to the stone-age with the 5D after having a 50D and now my 7D.
Yup, the screen is not close to what has been captured, the UI is weird to get used to compared to the newer cams i had/have.
I now see how important Liveview is on my 7D when shooting landscape (manually focusing is tough through the view finder with the stock screens). Also, the sensor cleaning in the newer cameras is nice. i had some dust on the sensor and only saw it at F22, white wall shots. luckily, they all blew off with my blower
other than that, the mirror recall was done, actuations is low (5K) and the thing is in great shape.
There is a warmth to the pics from the 5D that my 7D just doesn't have (straight out of cam of course).
But it's nice having a different perspective on my current lenses now! the 24-70 is actually 'wide' now
