Sometimes called the classic or mk1
Is it worth buying in 2021?
I have recently sold all my mirrorless and micro 4/3rds gear and bought a minty 40d really like the colours, had one when they originally appeared
have an itch for full frame
mpb have 5d's for 150 to 220 should I take the plunge?
Probably a wise move given the age difference.Quick update
Going to look at a 6d plus battery grip tomorrow for not much more than an 'excellent' 5d at mpb
I can't say I found it any worse for dust than other DSLRs I have owned.
This is one of my favourite photos taken with mine:

Well I had a gripped 5D and loved it so much that I upgraded to a new 5DII which is still my DSLR and from day 1 has been shot with a battery grip.
I've thought about adding a 5DI back into the fold in the same way that I've thought about an upgrade to a 5DIV: I've not yet done either but I recently acquired a 1DS which is probably my DSLR impulse purchase over with for another 12 months.
I'm sorry, what was the question again? If what you want is to try Full Frame, there are probably better (ie younger with higher spec) options available at similar prices. But if you want to ride the social media wave for "the classic Canon 5D first generation" then you have only one choice: how quickly can I get my hands on one. So either way, please keep us posted on what you do.
