The Innovative Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR Camera

With a full frame CMOS sensor, the Canon EOS 5D heralds the dawn of a new era for digital photography. Innovative Picture Style presets deliver all the subtleties of shooting with analog film but with all the advanced technology you would expect from a cutting-edge digital SLR.

EOS 5D Features

The Canon EOS 5D features a phenomenal full frame 12.8 Megapixel CMOS sensor. The same size as 35mm negatives, full frame sensors (35.8 x 23.9 mm) represent the final transition between analog and digital SLR photography, setting new standards in picture quality and performance. Images are bright and full with stunning colours, enhanced tonal sensitivities and reduced noise.

Fast, accurate focusing of off-centre or moving objects is assured by the Canon EOS 5D’s 9-point auto focus system. Different focus modes, such as One Shot AF, AI Focus AF and AI SERVO AF let you easily adapt to different focusing needs.

The standard 100-1600 ISO range is expandable to 50-3200, giving you greater flexibility when it comes to handling different shooting requirements.

A vibrant 2.5″ LCD screen with wide viewing angle lets you assess your shots and browse shooting and playback menus with ease.

The Canon EOS 5D lets you shoot up to 60 JPEG images in a singe burst at a rate of 3 frames per second. USB 2.0 connectivity and Video Out enable fast, simple sharing of your images.

Advanced Technology

DIGIC II processing provides the power behind the Canon EOS 5D’s remarkable performance. It delivers smart, intuitive operation and speedy camera responses; power-up takes just an astonishing 0.2 seconds.

Image Control

Achieving subtle colour variations, similar to swapping film in an analog camera, the customisable Picture Style presets onboard the Canon EOS 5D present a unique way of providing in-camera image control. Each setting has its own characteristics and can be fully adjusted to suit your taste.

RAW images can be captured at the same time as JPEGs. Digital Photo Professional software supplied with the camera provides powerful image editing and RAW processing right out of the box.

EOS 5D Camera Accessories

The Canon EOS 5D digital SLR is compatible with a range of EF Series lenses and EX Series Speedlite flashes. Other optional devices such as a wireless file transmitter and remote control deliver enhanced versatility.
