Canon EOS 5D Details

Editors' Comments

The latest digital SLR from Canon has a whole lot of muscle behind it. The Canon EOS 5D features a 'full frame' sensor, yielding a field of view identical to that of 35mm film cameras. The 5D uses the full span of your lenses to capture larger, more detailed photographs. The astounding 12.8 megapixels make this camera great for large scale reproductions and extremely detailed shots.
