PRO SPECS. CONSUMER PRICE.
Professional photographers, advanced photo hobbyistsand anyone who yearns for the wide-angle shooting ability of a 35mmfull-sized sensor are going to fall in love with the 12.8 megapixel EOS5D. Its outstanding sensor has large individual pixels (giving it awide ISO range, and great low-noise characteristics), along withexcellent tonal range and colour. The EOS 5D is among the world'ssmallest and lightest full-frame digital SLR with styling similar tothe EOS 20D. With the DIGIC II imaging engine behind it the 5D shootsat up to 3 fps with a burst rate that captures up to 17 consecutive RAWimages, or 60 full-resolution, best-quality JPEG files. A large2.5-inch LCD monitor makes menu text and magnified images so mucheasier to see and work with. Control over colour and other imagequality aspects can be tailored in-camera with Canon's Picture Stylescontrol. Six pre-set choices give you options similar to choosingdifferent types of film. And within each setting, you can adjustSharpness, Contrast, Colour Saturation, and Colour Tone (red~yellowshift). Other features include a nine-point AF system with six assistAF points, spot metering, a series of three interchangeable focusscreens and user-set folder creation on the CF card. EOS 5D - a compactSLR that sees the big picture.

Features

12.8 MEGAPIXEL FULL-FRAME CMOS SENSOR

World's smallest and lightest full-frame digital SLR* with a 12.8 Megapixel CMOS Sensor and superb image quality.
The EOS 5D's full-frame CMOS sensor records 4,368 x 2,912 pixels-that's 12.8 Megapixels, larger than many other companies' top-of-the-line sensors. The same size as a 35mm image on a traditional camera, the sensor operates without a conversion factor. This is perfect for taking advantage of the spectacular optics in Canon's L-series, and will be a joy for wide-angle enthusiasts who can make the most of their wide-angle lenses. This CMOS sensor, designed in-house by Canon, provides smooth, high-resolution images similar to the EOS-1Ds Mark II but in a more compact body. Two automatic noise reduction features maximize the effectiveness of the EOS 5D's on-chip noise reduction. Noise reduction can be activated when noise is detected or it will simply come into play on any exposure of 1 second or longer.

UNPRECENDETED PERFORMANCE AND IMAGE QUALITY

DIGIC II Image Processor for outstanding image quality and performance - 3.0 fps for up to 60 consecutive JPEG or 17 RAW frames in a burst.
The EOS 5D's 12.8 Megapixel sensor is driven by the revolutionary DIGIC II Image Processor for unprecedented performance and image quality. Thanks to the DIGIC II Image Processor, the EOS 5D is capable of shooting up to 3 frames-per-second for up to 60 JPEG or 17 RAW images. The information captured by the sensor is processed and assembled into images of exceptional clarity and resolution. Photographers can expect precise, natural colours, spot-on white balance and speed in any number of lighting situations. By handling larger volumes of image data, the DIGIC II Image Processor also contributes to lower power consumption: photographers will discover that they can shoot all day with the EOS 5D without having to change the battery!

MORE INFORMATION, VIEW FROM ALMOST ANY ANGLE ON A BIGGER LCD SCREEN

Larger 2.5 inch LCD screen can be viewed even at extreme angles up to 170°.
The EOS 5D has been designed to provide the photographer with instant feedback, saving valuable time when reviewing images. A 2.5 inch LCD screen with approximately 230,000 pixels not only displays more information, it can be viewed at a far greater angle (170°) than many other conventional LCD screens. The full-featured shot information screen not only provides an RGB histogram, it displays the AF frames used. Magnification to check exposure and critical focus has never been faster. It is also simple to jump quickly in image intervals up to 100. Menus are accessed at the touch of a button, and feature larger, easier to read text than previous models. Whether changing colour parameters, setting up custom functions, organizing folders, setting white balance, or any other feature, the screen is designed with the professional in mind. Photographers get to their information quickly, so they never lose a shot.

INSTANT EFFECT

"Picture Style" function for superior command of in-camera colour, contrast and sharpness.
"Picture Style" settings simulate the characteristics of different film styles, including Snapshot mode, for punchy, print-from-the-camera colour, Portrait mode, for softer, more natural skin tones; Landscape, for vivid blues and greens and overall sharpness, plus Neutral, Faithful and Monochrome, which can be customized to emulate colour filters with black and white film.

ADVANCED 9-POINT AF WITH EXTRA

High-precision 9-point AF with 6 additional Supplemental points surrounding the center point for superior focus tracking.
In addition to 9 different AF points for locking focus on subjects, even if they are not in the center of the composition, the EOS 5D features 6 Supplemental points around the center AF point which help to ensure an even greater degree of focus accuracy when tracking a moving subject. This feature is significant for sports photographers, as well as anyone who needs to keep focus locked on an unpredictable subject. The Supplemental AF points are not displayed in the viewfinder, and they cannot be manually selected. However, they are used in AI Servo AF mode when the EOS 5D is set for automatic focusing point selection, and also when the center focusing point is selected together with Custom Function 17-1.

STRENGTH AND DURABILITY

Strong and light magnesium-alloy body with new shutter durability-tested to 100,000 exposures.
The EOS 5D has a solid and substantial feel that complements its compact dimensions. The camera body is constructed of a magnesium-alloy known for its lightweight and ultra-rigid strength. The EOS 5D also boasts a newly developed, high-speed and durable shutter unit that was designed to meet the demanding requirements of a full frame sensor in a relatively compact body. With a top shutter speed of 1/8000 sec. and with a remarkable 100,000-cycle shutter life, it truly is a camera built to professional standards.
