Canon EOS 5D review at ephotozine
Posted by Steve on June 15th, 2006
A review of the Canon EOS 5D dSLR has been posted at ephotozine.
The review verdict:
“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, vignetting with wide angle lenses is a real problem if you like to shoot wide open.
Value for money is the EOS 5D’s weakest point. With an RRP of £2540, that makes this camera cost £1240 more than the rival Nikon D200 (based on RRP’s), with what appears to be only a marginal gain in image quality. Of course this only applies with the right lenses, which are also costly.
If the idea of having a camera with a sensor the same size as 35mm film is just too much for you to resist, at any price, then the Canon EOS 5D is clearly for you.”
