DPReview have published a preview of the Canon 5D, a new 12.8 megapixel full-frame digital SLR camera..

“My initial description of the EOS 5D when compared to the EOS 20D was ‘chunkier’, and I still think that’s a fair comment. It’s actually not that much larger than the EOS 20D, about 8 mm (⅓ inch) wider and taller but thanks to a remolded and grip (which now has a finger hook) and its extra weight (125 g / 4.4 oz) the EOS 5D does create the impression that it is both more substantial and more robust. Other than this the EOS 5D does look remarkably similar to the EOS 20D, even the control layout on the rear of the camera is virtually identical. The intention of course is to tempt existing EOS 20D owners to upgrade with the least amount of fuss.”
