Newbie qu. here/
I am thinking of buying a Canon 5D.
I take alot of pictures indoors without flash at 800 iso.
I read somewhere, might be codswallop (apparently the original meaning for this slang is 'beer & testicles'), that the 5D is not so hot on focusing in low light, which would be a problem for me.

Would I need to additionally purchase a focus assist light ?

Comments from 5D owners would be most welcome!
