Nice Digital SLR

by SmooveB , May 13, 2007

Comments:
I must say the EF lenses are superlative, and I don't know how I ever lived with conversion factors before now. This is not a toy. If you don't instictively know what 'fstop' means, don't choose this level of camera.

QuickTake:

Pros: SLR provides superior composition over point and click.

Cons: Larger than point and click cameras.

Recommended: Yes

Pros: Top-notch, high-resolution images; 35mm-size sensor obviates focal-length conversions; big 2.5-inch LCD; unmatched low-noise images at ISO 1,600 and 3,200.

Cons: Overall build quality and performance typical of much cheaper cameras; no constant ISO display; images show occasional red fringing around highlight transitions; automatic white balance occasionally inconsistent.

Comments:
Making an entry into the increasingly competitive Digital SLR market, Canon's new EOS 5D takes its place besides their 1Ds Mark II as one of only two full-frame models currently available. The 5D's 35.8mm x 23.9mm 12.8 megapixel single-plate CMOS sensor,...

Review Verdict:
Following our period of evaluation with the Canon EOS 5D, we can fully confirm that the camera is indeed all it's slated to be. Images produced with the camera's 35.8mm x 23. ...

QuickTake:

Pros: Full-frame sensor gives 1:1 crop factor, true wide angle with 35mm lenses, Very compact and relatively lightweight for a full-frame d-SLR, Dramatically less expensive than the only other full-frame d-SLR currently on the market, Canon's own 1Ds Mark II, E

Cons: Full-frame, high resolution sensor is very demanding of lenses, even high-end lenses can have trouble in the corners (Plan on spending serious $$ on lenses to keep up with this body!), Color is generally good, but reds are significantly oversaturated, Aut
