Hi All,
I am a new member and new to dslr photography. I am getting back into the hobby after being away for many years. I have a lot of experience in emulsion photography, and owned Nikon cameras for years and always loved them; however, since I am not committed in any way, I figure why not start with an open mind and see what some folks with experience would suggest..
I definitely want to get a camera with full frame sensor, so I was considering a Nikon D610, or possibly D750 to get my feet wet, but then I noticed that folks are selling used Canon 5D (12.8 mp) used for about 300 (body only).
Thoughts/experience about this model?
I don't have much experience with digital, so especially those with experience printing their photos could help here: my thoughts on megapixels is that 12.8 (12.7 'effective' though I'm not exactly sure what that means) is plenty enough resolution to print up to 16x20" prints..
I appreciate any and all suggestions and advice.
Thanks,
Dave

I think the Canon model you mention is very cheap for a reason. It was the first camera in the Canon 5d series and was soon upgraded due to its limitations and has been greatly improved with the later models. You would do much better buy if you get you a Nikon D700. That is a much better camera for the money, but probably a bit more expensive. It is full frame and was an excellent camera right from launch and still is.
