even if it isn't full frame.
The reason for full frame is so I can use my EF lenses in this instance without a crop factor. Have a film and digital body in the same bag that share the same lenses.
Otherwise, yeah absolutely would buy a newer crop sensor camera for probably cheaper than the 5dDo you think you absolutely need matrix metering?
Not super essential, no. But I do like it for digital - don't think I've ever had a RAW out of matrix metered camera that I've been unable to do anything with

Yea, also they're reasonably old now, at least 10 years!
Which isn't necessarily bad, but I would think hard whether I would not prefer a recent camera -
with fresh batteries, more pixels, significantly better high-ISO performance, warranty, better menus / modern features etc. - even if it isn't full frame.
Do you think you absolutely need matrix metering?
Just take a shot - and if it isn't right dial in some exposure compensation and take another one.
Or do it in post. I mean c'mon.
It's not like you shoot super critical stuff in really complicated light on a daily basis, right?
Matrix metering was important for shooting slide film back in the days, today it's nice to have but by no means essential.
