Canon EOS 5D ... offers advanced photographers a lightweight, robust digital SLR that uses Canon's superlative EF lenses without a conversion factor. Its full-frame 12.8 Megapixel CMOS sensor combines with Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor, a high-precision 9-point AF system with 6 assist points, and "Picture Style" color control to deliver images of superior quality with enough resolution for any application. With its wide-angle capabilities, 2.5 inch LCD and magnesium-alloy body, the 5D is the perfect addition to the Digital EOS line.

 ... JPEG, RAW formats or both simultaneously. It does not feature an in-built flash, so bear that in mind when purchasing. The 5D is considered a semi-pro camera but was & is used by a lot of professionals within the industry, partly due to it's manageable size. The ISO settings are dated now & offer quite high digital noise when compared with what has come onto the marketplace since, in addition the megapixel count is also arguably insufficient compared to other cameras on the market.

Canon EOS 5D: very good, but no longer great.. (415 words)

Released in 2005, the Canon 5D is now primarily used as my backup camera (the Mk II is my primary). This was a revolutionary camera upon it's release, becoming the first full frame sensor (35mm) SLR camera to be released with a compact body (far easier to handle than the bulky 1DS or similar). While the Mk II (released in 2009) certainly improved upon it's predecessor, the 5D is still a very solid camera. I'm a professional photographer & shot exclusively with this camera for my first 2 years as a pro. It still fits the bill as a backup camera & can be called upon when necessary. It is a 12.8m megapixel camera, while bettered since, in ...  Read the complete review

I updated to the Canon 5D from the Canon 450. I have to say I have mixed feelings about this camera. Clearly, the image results are fantastic - and the sensitivity of the sensor is good enough for very professional results. I have blown images up to A3 size and the image has remained crisp and detailed. It is built to be used - and by this I mean that you can bash it and drop it and its so robust that you won't do it any damage! Its compatible with EF lenses - I have to say that I've got my best results when I've combined this camera with my Canon 70-200mm lens - which proved ideal for safari and my trip to the Galapagos. The battery life is great (I only have to charge .  Read the complete review
