The full frame 12.8 Megapixel EOS 5D. Discreet enough to avoid attention, with resolution enough to keep the toughest picture editors happy. Travel light without compromise. Full frame With no cropping or magnification effect, the EOS 5D's 12.8 MP full frame CMOS sensor (35.8 x 23.9mm) offers full freedom of expression. Wide lenses stay wide and th ...[ More] e viewfinder is bright and open. Subtle tonal gradations are reproduced in shadow, midtone and highlights. A low-pass filter and on-chip circuitry suppress false colours and noise. Low (L:50) and high (H:3200) ISO settings extend the standard 100-1600 range. 3 fps Continues Shooting The EOS 5D can shoot a 60 large JPEG image burst at 3 fps. Auto focus and flash 9-point AF is supported with 6 Assist AF points to improve subject tracking. AF modes include One Shot AF, AI SERVO AF and AI FOCUS AF. E-TTL II communicates with EX series Speedlites for consistently accurate flash exposures, even with reflective or off-centre subjects. Large LCD Illuminated by 6 LEDs, the bright 2.5" 230K pixel LCD is viewable from 85 in almost all directions. Picture Styles Picture Style pre-sets simplify in-camera control over image processing, including a Monochrome mode supporting Black & White shooting with filter and toning effects. Picture Style pre-sets can be likened to different film types - each one offering a different colour response. Each pre-set has control over sharpness, contrast, colour tone and saturation.

Will Always Be a Great Camera Regardless of where technology takes photography in the next 5/10 years, this will always be a great camera. I have a feeling it will be one of those 'classics' that some people will carry around forever.

| | | Seller changed mind I cannot rate this product simply because the seller pulled the item and even though he refunded my money promptly I missed out on the sell after he reposted it. He said he didn't have all the pieces or accessories together and had to pull the camera. Shouldn't that have been done before he posted the camera for sale in the first place?? Not only was there not enough information on the camera and I had to continually email the seller. But then I didn't recieve the emails in a timely man...

The Canon 5D is - mostly - all that it's cracked up to be.
However, you are well advised not to buy this item through Amazon - let alone any big ticket item.
I received the camera and it was poorly packed. When I opened the camera, it appeared that it may have been a previous return. There were marks on the back of the camera as if someone using lotion or ...

  30% (7 of 23) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Canon 5D This camera is superior in almost every way. I quibble a bit about the location of some of the controls. For example, the on/off switch is not in a great location, Nikon has a better location for this on its cameras. This type of complaint aside, which is entirely subjective in nature, You can't find anything better.

  28% (2 of 7) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Canon 5D As a wedding photographer I love the Canon 20D, nice and light and at a good price I can afford six of them. But, recently I started shooting for a local magazine and felt I needed a better camera. The full frame feature is the number one reason for this purchase. I found that I missed getting the full effect of my lenses such as the 28-70mm, 15mm and my recent purchase of the 85mm. The magnification was just too much. I've used the camera at all of my weddings this year and am very pleased in t...
