Title: Canon EOS 5D(1/10/06)Summary: Let’s get it right on the table. The Canon EOS 5D is ridiculously expensive when compared to the 200-plus digital cameras currently available. At $3,299 for the body only, this D-SLR is for... Read the full review Country:

Title: Canon EOS 5D(12/11/05)Summary: A lower-priced full-frame digital SLR was a logical step for Canon, the only thing we weren't sure of was how that camera would look when it arrived. Up until now if you wanted a Canon mount full frame camera you would go for the EOS-1Ds / Mark II or the now discontinued Kodak Pro SLR/c. Since the advent of the digital SLR many... Read the full review Pros: ; Very fast in use, short shutter lag, instant startup; Interchangeable focus screen; New Picture Styles make it easier to get 'ready to use' results straight from the camera; Optional WFT-E1 wireless transmitter (802.11 b/g); Wide range of image parameter adjustment (-4 to +4 for most); Supplied software bundle very good; ZoomBrowser EX Cons: ; Same old 'CF compartment door shuts camera down' issue; AI Servo (continuous AF) interference banding issue (certain lenses, high sensitivities); No mass storage device USB mode, limited throughput (just 2.5 MB/sec); No GPS support; Edge softness / falloff / chromatic aberrations, needs good lenses; No anti-reflective coating on LCD Country:

Title: EOS 5DSummary: Read the full review Verdict: 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.

Title: Canon EOS 5DSummary: The EOS 5D is Canon¿s ¿entry-level¿ full frame SLR. It¿s a stunning camera that has many advantages but it does require the very best lens in order to make the most of its features. Unless you¿re printing up very large photos this camera could be a case of overkill. Consider the Nikon D200 or Canon EOS 30D instead. Read the full review Country:

Read the full review Verdict: 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 Pros: ; Top-notch, high-resolution images; 35mm-size sensor obviates focal-length conversions; big 64mm LCD; unmatched low-noise images at ISO 1,600 and 3,200 Cons: ; Overall build quality and performance typical of much cheaper cameras; no constant ISO display; images show occasional red fringing around highlight transitions; automatic white balance occasionally inconsistent Country:

Title: Canon EOS 5DSummary: Read the full review Verdict: 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 view of cheaper D-SLRs, this could be the camera you've been waiting for. Country:

Title: Canon EOS 5DSummary: At the time of its introduction, the Canon 5D became the cheapest full-frame DSLR on the market. By all measures, this is a great camera which succeeds exceptionally well at taking great pictures. One notably lacking feature in the Canon 5D is a built-in flash.
