Few 5D images from today

Actually, these were all cropped quite a bit (except the last one) - the 1st one had about 2/3 cropped out. Yea, the 5D has plenty of detail, and I was using a lens that is not only defective, but a lens that many people say is very soft, the 70-300DO. The IS is shot in my copy of the lens..
 
With superb detail, and a great eye for the shot

I really like the third one. It's looks like abstract art but really, it's just nature (and a good photographer).
 
Omg no vignetting? your camera must be broken take it back :P just kidding, nice photos
 
Guess it depends on the display you are using. Im using an Apple 23" HD Cinema Display and they look good, maybe a bit overdone. On my PC NEC flat panel they look soft, but that display is 5 years old. Im still used to working on my E1 images, which require more PP - I have more 5D images, and some of my E1 aniaml shots here:

I guess, the new camera requires a more gentle and subtle approach. Try to reduce the sharpening you will see how much better it will become.
 
My wife uses the 70 - 300 IS DO on her 20D because it's about as large and heavy a lens as she wants to carry around.

I borrow it when I have to travel (for work) and liked the results on my 1D mkII pretty well, but it seems to be a better lens on the 5D (I have no idea why). By all means, get a copy with the IS working -- it's certainly better than the IS on the 100 - 400 that I'm used to using.

pictures, but you're really blowing the highlights by letting the backgrounds infuence exposure. Either set your exposure manually based on the RGB histogram, or use the partial meter if you're more comfortable with automation. You may also find a polarizer useful for reducing the severity of reflections and highlights.
