ThinkCamera has reviewed the 12.8 megapixel Canon EOS 5D and here’s the verdict – “The EOS 5D isn’t the ideal camera for everyone and there are some minor compromises as well as some excellent features. It isn’t a point and shoot camera by any means and both the body and the price tag are substantial – but it’s smaller and better priced than many full-frame sensor cameras. If this is your first foray up the chain of D-SLR’s and you don’t want to spend too much first time round, the EOS-5D is a good starting point. Performance is neither exceptional nor lacking: for example whilst it doesn’t compete with extra-fast models designed for sports photography, you won’t find it slowing you down even when you’re shooting in RAW. It should be viewed as a very good prosumer camera rather than a professional one – many pros use it but they are generally happier to work within its limitations than spend 3 times as much on a 1DS MkII.”
