Canon EOS 5D Review

Canon5D front 705998 Canon EOS 5D ReviewCNET.com has a review of Canon’s 12.8 megapixel digital SLR camera, the Canon EOS 5D. What did they think of this $3299 digital camera?

Pros: Top-notch, high-resolution images; 35mm-size sensor obviates focal-length conversions; big 2.5-inch 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.

Conclusion: 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.

Rating: 7.9 / 10

Head on over for the full review.
