2 ... 2 ...Wize.com, a new consumer product rating site, rates the Canon 5D an "88" (88/100), not an item you'd "buy with confidence" according to the site, but one that "might meet your needs."
One doesn't need to go far to get some commentary about the 5D.

To Buy or Not to Buy
Over at Photojunkie, the decision on the 5D turns out to be a waiting game. He is waiting for either Canon to announce a newer model full frame sensor (sensor is 35 mm, like film) camera or for the prices of the 5D to drop.
No Noise at High ISOs; but Blur at Low Depths of Field
The story at "The Image is Found" photoblog reads like an equipment lust tale. The guy's got everything--low f-stop, fixed focal length lenses with a couple of tilt-shift lenses, coming along with his Canon 5D body.
His test results with the 5D and all those fine lenses:
1. No noise at high ISO speeds.
Images taken at ISO 3200 look like those taken on a Nikon D2X at ISO 800.
2. Inaccurate focus system at hairthin depths of field (f/1.2 and f/1.8), at least compared to the Nikon D2X.

An Image from a 5D
No commentary on a camera would be complete without an image taken with one. This image was taken with a 5D with a Canon 24-105 f/4 mm lens attached at a shutter speed of 1/60 second, f-stop of f/9 and ISO 50 speed.
