    5D is a nice jump up

    Pros: Small body, Full frames sensor

    Cons: Few FPS than 1Ds Mark 11, not as durable

    Just recently bought this camera and have already fallen in love with it. Having most recently used the 1Ds, the body size is much lighter and a better fit for my smaller hands. Plus it's light enough to carry all the time. Unlike the 1Ds and som...e of the older models of Canon DSlrs - the camera offers a monochrome (black and white) setting and performs quite well in lower light settings. So far, this is a great camera. Read more Less

    Pros: ...

    Cons: ...

    Canon's press material for the EOS 5D states that it 'defines (a) new D-SLR category', while we're not typically too concerned with marketing talk this particular statement is clearly pretty accurate. The EOS 5D is unlike any previous... digital SLR in that it combines a full-frame (35 mm sized) high resolution sensor (12.8 megapixels) with a relatively compact body (slightly larger than the EOS 20D, although in your hand it feels noticeably 'chunkier'). The EOS 5D is aimed to slot in between the EOS 20D and the EOS-1D professional digital SLR's, an important difference when compared to the latter is that the EOS 5D doesn't have any environmental seals. While Canon don't specifically refer to the EOS 5D as a 'professional' digital SLR it will have obvious appeal to professionals who want a high quality digital SLR in a body lighter than the EOS-1D. It will also no doubt appeal to current EOS 20D owners. Read more Less

    Canon EOS 5D Review

    If you want a (new) Canon full frame digital SLR the choice now is between the $3,299 EOS 5D or the $7,999 EOS-1Ds Mark II. As we have demonstrated the EOS-1Ds Mark II does deliver more detail and resolution but to the majority of photographers this advantage will be wasted (although this is unlikely to be a deciding factor for decided EOS-1Ds Mark II buyers, its advantages over the 5D are far more wide ranging). Thus to anyone looking for the 'purity' of full frame (and a Canon mount) the EOS 5D would be absolutely Highly Recommended. Read more

    DCRP Review: Canon EOS-5D

    Photo quality was excellent as well. The 5D takes well-exposed, colorful images with nearly no noise or purple fringing. Photos are as smooth as butter, as is the case with Canon's D-SLRs. Read more
