>>4478405the 5d, 5dii, and 5diii are genuinely kinda shit cameras, closer to digishit "character" than just being a good camera, and nikon is always a better choice. for high ISO and shadow recovery these older canon DSLRs are nearly equal to micro four thirds, and sometimes slightly worse vs the newer more expensive m43s. if i wanted digishit quality i would use a digishit, not a full sized DSLR. the 6d, 6d2, 5div, and 5ds are all great for their price and mark the point where canon figured out the technical side of camera design.
>then how did so many pros bla blafor most of the 2000s raw was almost never used by working photographers, and canon nailed their jpegs almost every time while having much better made lenses than nikon, and neat shit like IS on most of their lenses. eventually tech progressed and everyone was able to shoot raw all the time like they wanted to, so canon finally had to fix their sensor tech to continue being the best. it was also more normal for almost every DSLR user to use flash 90% of the time so high ISO was irrelevant. tastes changed and now every client hates flash and expects cameras to do fine without it.
