Digital Camera Canon EOS 5D, How good is it? The
Digital Camera Canon EOS 5D is a 12.8 megapixel digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera body produced by
Canon company. The Digital Camera 5D is the world's best portrait and landscape camera. The
Digital Camera Canon EOS 5D is notable for being the first full-frame DSLR camera with a standard body size (as opposed to the taller, double-grip "professional" camera body style). The Canon EOS 5D is unlike any previous digital SLR in that it combines a full-frame (35 mm sized) high resolution sensor (12.8 megapixels) with a relatively compact body (slightly larger than the EOS 20D, although in your hand it feels noticeably 'chunkier').
