For some photographers, a sensor the same size as a frame of 35mm film (24mm by 36mm)--often referred to as full frame--is the Holy Grail of digital SLR technology.
The Canon EOS 5D has a reasonably handsome version of the Canon family look, with fairly clean styling and a curvy top cover reminiscent of its higher-end EOS 1-series stablemates.
To a large extent, the Canon EOS 5D is defined by its CMOS sensor.
It becomes clear how much of the Canon EOS 5D's design concept--and price--is tied up in its big sensor when you look at the camera's performance, which is generally no better than that of many cameras that cost half or even a third as much.
Our test images from the Canon EOS 5D are superb overall.
