Unlike the Canon pro models that have both CF and SD card slots, the 5D has a single Type II slot for CompactFlash or Microdrives. The larger sensor produces stunning images with superb colour gradation. Noise is impressively low and sensitivity is entire
The Canon EOS 5D represents a great value in a high quality, high performance, full-frame Digital SLR. You get excellent quality, high resolution images for less money than ever before. I found very little to critique or complain about. This camera will e
You’ll love the EOS 5D if you’re an art director or graphics pro who is used to using medium format photography in your projects. The stunning image quality, reduced depth-of-field and superb colour fidelity on offer are all great reasons to buy this amaz
The Canon EOS 5D lives up to the hype. It breaks new ground with its full-frame sensor and huge rear panel LCD. Comparing it to Canon's $7,999 flagship EOS 1Ds Mark II tells it all. The 5D offers a comparable full-frame sensor but beats the more expensive
The 5D is a truly superb camera that's worth every penny. Users looking for a full-frame device - no longer having to spend in excess of £4,000 - should be happy.
As good as the Canon EOS 5D is, many professionals are likely to feel compelled towards the speed of capture and resolution posed by the EOS 1Ds MK II. The price will inevitably dissuade hobbyists and serious amateurs. If the full-frame feature isn’t esse
By not increasing the resolution of the 30D, the 5D has become desirable both to photographers who've always wanted full-frame and those who simply want a higher resolution Canon body. There'll certainly be plenty of 10D and 20D owners who, disappointed b
With film-like ability to record light and a super-high megapixel rating, the EOS 5D is an impressive picture-making tool. But it isn't a completely unqualified success, particularly considering the price.
Nous sommes convaincu que le Canon EOS 5D ne marque pas la fin d'une période mais au contraire le commencement d'une nouvelle ère où les appareils aux résolutions démesurées vont se trouver à des prix raisonnables. L'EOS 5D nous a réellement impressionné
I am convinced that the EOS 5D is not the end of a period but the start of a whole new interesting era; a time with affordable cameras that combine a high resolution and an outstanding image quality. The Canon 5D has truly impressed me and I reluctantly r
The midsize Canon EOS 5D is a D-SLR blockbuster, giving you full-frame coverage and super-high resolution for way less money than its only 12-megapixel competitor.
The EOS 5D is a powerful and decisive picture taking machine with few faults: refined ergonomics, beefy construction, photographic flexibility and stunning high resolution images. It is almost everything a landscape, travel, studio or wedding pro could wa
Canon's EOS 5D is the most affordable full-frame D-SLR yet, allowing lenses to be used without affecting their field of view. At £2,539 for the body alone, it's quite a premium to pay even considering the 12.8Mp resolution. But if you curse the cropped vi
Canon's EOS 5D is the most affordable full-frame D-SLR yet, allowing lenses to be used without affecting their field of view. It's quite a premium to pay even considering the 12.8Mp resolution, but if you curse the cropped view of cheaper D-SLRs, this cou
The Canon 5D is an immensely satisfying camera. In a physical size, weight and form factor it is little different than the mainstream of 5 – 8 Megapixel APS sized cameras. But Canon has, with the 5D, provided photographers with a full-frame 35mm of suffic
Canon has produced an outstanding addition to its dSLR product line in the 5D, but its total cost of ownership may place it beyond the means of the average enthusiast. As a professional camera, the 5D may be a cost-effective alternative to the 1DS Mark II
I would feel secure paying the tab for a 5D, especially if I were doing photography for business and profit. But these are unsettled times and the road ahead seems to be enveloped in fog. I can’t speak for what the future will hold, but if a great perform
The Canon EOS 5D is a very capable camera, which produces silky smooth images right up to ISO400 and beyond that, noise levels are still very well controlled thanks in part to the full frame sensor. Sensor size is also to blame for another trait, vignetti
Having 12 megapixels, this camera allows for high-quality print sizes up to 21" x 14". The cost for such a high resolution, when compared to the Canon 20D, is mostly slower continuous shooting. Having a full-frame sensor brings advantages and disadvantage
The Canon EOS 5D is the essential camera for everything that photographers used to do with 35mm film. It is more than good enough for most professional photojournalism applications, but still simple enough that a yuppie can get one to throw in the glovebo
A decent midrange digital SLR camera built around a superb sensor, the Canon EOS 5D delivers great images and the familiar 35mm-film-format shooting experience for a comparatively low (though still hefty) price.

The Canon EOS-5D is an excellent (albeit expensive) digital SLR that offers great photo quality and performance and a full-frame sensor, all in a normal-sized body.
The 5D camera is for those photographers, who have a lot of good optics, which full potential is not revealed when used with a small sensor. It's for those who always process photos afterwards. Lens aberrations and distortions become noticeable at the edg
The EOS 5D isn't the ideal camera for everyone and there are some minor compromises as well as some excellent features. It isn't a point and shoot camera by any means and both the body and the price tag are substantial - but it's smaller and better priced
