Canon EOS 5D Review at Bob Atkins

February 9, 2006 | Mark Goldstein | Digital SLR Cameras | Comment |

Canon EOS 5DBob Atkins has published his review of the 12.8 megapixel Canon EOS 5D digital SLR.

“The EOS 5D will likely be regarded as something of a landmark camera and shows how much digital technology has advanced in only a few years. The first “affordable” DSLR was the Canon EOS D30, a 3MP APS-C sensor camera which sold for $3000+ in October 2000 (Original price 380,000 yen). In only 5 years (October 2005) we now have a 12.7 MP full frame camera selling for about the same price ($3000). In another 5 years I would not be surprised to see a 15MP full frame camera selling for under $1500. However the 5D will be seen as the “full frame” breakthrough camera, just as the D30 is seen as the first really practical and affordable DSLR.”
