Ephotozine has reviewed the 12.8 megapixel Canon EOS 5D and they note that it produces silky smooth images. They continue to write –
“If the idea of having a camera with a sensor the same size as 35mm film is just too much for you to resist, at any price, then the Canon EOS 5D is clearly for you. If, on the other hand, other factors such as speed when shooting RAW, being able to shoot wide-angle lenses wide open without dark corners, or value for money appeal to you, then it may be worth thinking long and hard about whether this camera is really for you.”

In summary the positive points of the Canon EOS 5D are:
Excellent performance across all ISO sensitivities.
Build quality (although there is still room for improvement in some areas).
Separate Red, Green and Blue histogram display.
Viewfinder is bright and clear.
The negative points:
Time taken to display RAW images.
Vignetting at wide angles.
Value for money.
Autofocus points are not spread as far across the frame as I would like.
