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.

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...

As a photographer, I am not actually good enough to shoot with film (a painful, but true confession); however, because of the shortcomings of digital cameras, for what I like to do (late night, low light stuff - with a lot of black and not much light!) I have cycled through endless film approaches, in hopes of capturing that perfect moody image...
Then, to overcome the problems of small negative film, I have cycled through medium format film approaches (Bronica ETRS, SQ-Ai, Hasselbla...

  94% (34 of 36) Users Found This Review Helpful | | | Fantastic.. Great.... packs a great punch.!!! Having used the 20D 30D and now the 5D I can not tell you how much better it is. The resolution and saturation of the full frame sensor just leaves the 1.6 frame 20/30D in the shade. The camera is almost identical smaller framed brothers so making the change to the 5D is easy. The only thing you will notice is the speed. The 5D is slower than the 20D and 30D so if you are looking for 8fps then you will have to go the next step.
Oh and the battery grip is also a mus...

I tried to get them to do an exchange but they said they could not replace the item. So i had to return it and wait a month for my refund and purchase it from a local dealer in the meantime for $300 more.
