I was in the same quandry - wanted to go full frame but the newer full frame models were out of budget. I went for a used 5D Mk1 and it's a really good camera. Mine was from a studio environment and very well looked after. The only thing I noticed (after a while) was when I started getting into long exposures. I took some shots at night which were approximately 2 minutes exposure, and I found I had a lot of hot pixels. There's free software out there that can easily take care of this so although it's annoying, it's not a major issue. For everyday shooting it's fine. But I suppose this sort of problem is to be expected from a camera that's a few years old and was used in a studio. I got mine a while ago for less than £600 and I still think it's a bargain. To replace the sensor would cost one and a half times what I paid for the camera. And if you can, get some L lenses as well.
