Canon EOS 5D

Testing / Performance
Making an entry into the increasingly competitive Digital SLR market, Canon’s new EOS 5D takes its place beside their 1Ds Mark II as one of only two full-frame models currently available. The 5D’s 35.8mm x 23.9mm 12.8 megapixel single-plate CMOS sensor, coupled with the application of Canon’s EF mount, enables full utilization of all Canon EF autofocus lenses with full preservation of their original optical perspectives.
While the 5D’s internal components most closely resemble those in Canon’s flagship 1Ds Mark II, the external form mirrors the prosumer styling of their EOS 20D. Omitting the pop-up flash unit, the 5D is only slightly larger than the 20D and retains the shape and portability of traditional 35mm designs. It is precisely this blend of prosumer design and professional performance, available for $3299 US, that enables the EOS 5D to stand unrivaled at the time of its release.
