The new Canon EOS 5D offers advanced photographers a lightweight, robust digital SLR that uses Canon's superlative EF lenses without a conversion factor. Its full-frame 12.8 Megapixel CMOS sensor combines with Canon's DIGIC II Image Processor, a high-precision 9-point AF system with 6 assist points, and "Picture Style" color control to deliver images of superior quality with enough resolution for any application. With its wide-angle capabilities, 2.5 inch LCD and magnesium-alloy body, the 5D is the perfect addition to the Digital EOS line.

Review

In case you haven't been paying attention, the Canon 5D is a 12.8 Megapixel DSLR with a full-frame 35mm sensor priced at around $3,000. It joins the 16 Megapixel Canon 1Ds MKII as only the second full-frame DSLR currently available. The ill-fated Kodak DCS 14n and Pro n models, in both Nikon and Canon lens mounts, have been discontinued.
