Canon EOS 5D Review at DCResource
DCResource have published their review of the 12.8 megapixel Canon EOS 5D digital SLR.
“As you’d expect, the 5D starts up almost instantanelously. As soon as you flip the power switch you’re ready to go. Autofocus speeds will vary a bit depending on yoru choice of lens, but on the lenses I used the most (16-35 and 50 mm), the cmaera focused very quickly. Straight out of the box the 5D isn’t very good at low light focusing, and that’s becuase there’s no AF-assist of any sort (either with the flash or a dedicated lamp). Instead, you’ll need to use the AF-assist beam on whatever external flash you’re using with the camera. I didn’t have a Canon flash to test this with (believe it or not), so I can’t say how well the camera performed with one.”
