"I have been advised that my Canon 5D can't be revived. The battery won't charge and I have learned they are no longer serviced. I have a 24-105mm lens that I would like to be able to use. Can you advise on a camera choice compatible with this lens? And is there anything more to do to determine the viability of my 5D? Could my problem be with an unsuitable battery? Should I spend a little more money to buy another battery to ensure I'm not abandoning my 5D prematurely?"
Hi Amy,
Sorry for your diagnosis of your dead Canon 5D and battery. The Canon 5D was my first full frame Canon and I used it for several years to shoot portraits professionally. It's still worth using-if it still works.
It's likely that your issue is only with an old battery and it's definitely advisable to test your 5D's health with a fresh battery. I highly recommend you get a new battery, the BP-511A. You can get a two pack of batteries for less than $20 on Amazon.
