Canon EOS 5D review at imaging resource
Posted by Steve on April 3rd, 2006
A review of the Canon EOS 5D is available at imaging resource. The EOS 5D is a digital SLR camera with an effective resolution of 12.8 megapixels and a full frame CMOS sensor.
The summary of the review:
“[…] Full-frame purists with more modest budgets or unwilling to lug around the daunting weight of a 1Ds Mark II will find an awful lot to like in the 5D. It’s also a more approachable camera for the casual shooter, thanks to its Picture Styles (think of them as film types, one more suited to portraits, one more suited to landscape shots, etc) and slightly more aggressive in-camera sharpening. The bottom line is that the 5D is a better camera if you really want to use JPEGs from the camera as the final file format (without processing after the fact on a computer). Also, while we’ve been speaking glibly of “full-frame purists,” shooters only just now making the move from traditional film-based SLRs may find that the 5D offers a much more comfortable transition than would a sub-frame model.
[…]
For the record, we highly recommend the Canon EOS-5D as a full-frame d-SLR option, but do counsel readers to consider their sub-frame options carefully before taking the plunge with a 5D.”
