EOS 5D

The EOS 5D combines a full-frame, 12.8-megapixel CMOS sensor with 3fps shooting speed and a burst depth of 60 images in Large JPEG shooting. The full-frame sensor provides larger pixels and therefore inherently lower noise levels making high ISO performance suitable for any professional assignment.

The 9-point AF system with six AF assist points is fast enough for most situations and the 2.5inch LCD screen makes reviewing images and browsing the menu quick and easy.

Add in a magnesium alloy body, 1/8000th maximum shutter speed and a flash sync speed of 1/200th second and you have a camera ready for professional use.

The full-frame CMOS sensor is unique in a non 1-series EOS digital camera. Lenses perform as expected and with no sensor crop factor, wide-angle lenses are truly wide allowing you to capture the full breadth of a scene with no loss in field of view.

It is also compatible with the WFT-E1 wireless file transmitter so you can shoot wire-free in the studio or outside and send images back to your computer instantly.

The compact size and lightweight make it the perfect tool for travel, portrait and landscape photographers.
