We're a long way from high school photo class, but if you want the nightmarishly brief rundown, the 5D had real heft, the screen was fantastic, and shooting was fast and simple (well, that's a relative term, of course).
Now, of course, everything is relative, and my test car is a 2.0-liter, front-drive compact with an automatic transmission on all-season meats, so it's not remotely a sports car.
