You might want to skip the original Canon 5D and look at the Canon 6D instead. Ask the people on the other forum. I found the Canon T3i (600D) to be fine at ISO1600 or lower. Sometimes I could go as high as ISO3200 if there was a lot of light. I sure do enjoy the Canon T7i (800D) camera in comparison for high ISO photos, all the way up to ISO12800.

+1

I was in the same boat, saved up a few more pennies and went with the 6D as it's hight iso IQ performance is alot better than the 5D.

I looked at 5D mkii as well but the 6D's single point from what I read is more accurate. Also here, used 6D's are cheaper than a used 5D mkii.

6D feels alot like my trust old T3, but IQ and iso wise it's light years ahead.
