    This , put quite simply is an awesome camera. Now available secondhand for about the price of an entry level APS-C Canon or Nikon with bundled kit lens in the UK , given the massive price hikes, this is fantastic value.

    I use this for weddings and portraits. Overall it is a very good camera. Easy to use. Light. Everything in the right place. It really suffers in the highlights however and this is a real problem with weddings or working outdoors. This problem is addressed in the Mark II I understand.

    Short extract: What do you get when you cross a semi-pro 8.2MP DSLR with a pro 16.7MP DSLR? Only Canon could answer that riddle, and has with the new 12.8MP EOS 5D ($3,299, body only).

    Short extract: Canon EOS 5D SLR review : Since Kodak is no longer producing Pro SLRs, Canon is the only manufacturer with a digital reflex camera (D-SLR) featuring a full-sized image sensor. Until shortly the EOS-1Ds Mark II was the only camera containing such a sensor.

    Conclusion: Canon EOS 5D professional SLR camera The Canon EOS 5D is positioned in between the popular semi-professional EOS 20D and the true professional working horses of the EOS-1D series. It nicely fills up the gab in this series and the EOS 5D does that more than convincing.

    Short extract: The first digital SLR to combine a full-frame sensor with an affordable price tag, the Canon EOS 5D looks the part with a textured black case and a slew of controls. Pricier SLRs are heavier too; the lighter weight and grooved grip make it comfortable to hold for a long session (although hefty...

    Short extract: Canon EOS-5D Manufacturer Overview Read a pro photographer's viewpoint on the Canon EOS-5D in the guest review by Sean Reid . Built around a 12.8-megapixel (effective) CMOS sensor, covering the same area as a 35mm film frame, the Canon EOS 5D provides "full frame" digital SLR technology at a much...

    Conclusion: Following in the impressive footsteps laid down by earlier members of the highly-acclaimed Canon EOS line of digital SLRs, the new 5D definitely upholds its EOS lineage. While a truly excellent photographic tool though, it doesn't automatically represent a slam-dunk choice between it and a sub-frame...
