Canon EOS 5D
Overview
PRO SPECS.
CONSUMER PRICE.
Professional photographers, advanced photo hobbyists and anyone
who yearns for the wide-angle shooting ability of a 35mm
full-sized sensor are going to fall in love with the 12.8
megapixel EOS 5D. Its outstanding sensor has large individual
pixels (giving it a wide ISO range, and great low-noise
characteristics), along with excellent tonal range and colour.
The EOS 5D is among the world's smallest and lightest full-frame
digital SLR with styling similar to the EOS 20D. With the DIGIC
II imaging engine behind it the 5D shoots at up to 3 fps with a
burst rate that captures up to 17 consecutive RAW images, or 60
full-resolution, best-quality JPEG files. A large 2.5-inch LCD
monitor makes menu text and magnified images so much easier to
see and work with. Control over colour and other image quality
aspects can be tailored in-camera with Canon's Picture Styles
control. Six pre-set choices give you options similar to
choosing different types of film. And within each setting, you
can adjust Sharpness, Contrast, Colour Saturation, and Colour
Tone (red~yellow shift). Other features include a nine-point AF
system with six assist AF points, spot metering, a series of
three interchangeable focus screens and user-set folder creation
on the CF card. EOS 5D - a compact SLR 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.
