01 Jul 09 The Canon Eos 5d Camera for perfect pictures
The Canon EOS 5D camera is an exquisite piece of engineering and design, coming together to take the perfect high-resolution image or picture. The Canon EOS 5D body is notable for its abundance of features and compact size.
This top class digital camera for the advanced SLR photographer finally comes of age. Digital SLR enthusiasts have been waiting a long time for a digital SLR body that functions comparably to the 35mm SLR bodies of five years ago. The Canon EOS (Electro-Optical System) auto focus 35 mm film and digital SLR camera system was introduced in 1987 with the Canon EOS 650 and is still in production as Canon’s current dslr system. These dslr’s had a Canon EOS body and thus can accept EF lenses, while the image sensor and electronics were designed and built by Kodak.
Unlike most other digital SLR manufacturers, Canon dslr’s are equipped with a CMOS sensor (with the exception of EOS-1D that uses a CCD sensor). Its latest digital SLR the Canon Eos 5d is a camera for advanced amateurs and semi-professionals alike.
As the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame digital SLR, the EOS 5D model features Canon’s proprietary DIGIC II Image Processor, which allows users to shoot up to 3 frames per second and record up to 60 full-resolution JPEGs and 17 RAW images in a single burst. The heart of the Canon EOS 5D camera is its extraordinary new, Canon-designed and manufactured CMOS image sensor.
The Canon EOS 5D body has a new nine point AF system with six Supplemental AF points, a new AF algorithm and a new AF circuitry. Thanks to Canon design and manufacturing know-how and having the low-pass filter integrated with the CMOS cover glass, the EOS 5D digital SLR is unusually streamlined for a camera with a full-frame sensor.
The EOS 5D has a newly developed, high-speed and highly durable shutter unit that was designed to meet the demanding requirements of a full-frame sensor in a relatively compact body. A premium DSLR with outstanding image quality combining the high-end specifications of the EOS-1 Line and the operational ease of the EOS 20D models, the new Canon EOS 5D digital SLR is a premium digital SLR designed for a wide range of photographers.
All in all the Canon EOS 5D replacement is an excellent purchase, it is quite an improvement on it’s predecessor the Canon Eos 5d 12.8 mp digital slr camera and will provide you with professional picture taking for years to come, provided you maintain and care for it. Make sure your Canon EOS 5D camera is always charged and ready to use when that perfect picture arrives.
