The EOS 5D is a 12.8 megapixel single-lens digital camera (DSLR) camera manufactured by Canon. The EOS 5D was announced by Canon on August 22, 2005, and at that time the price was above EOS 20D but under EOS-1D Mark II and EOS-1Ds Mark II in the Canon EOS digital SLR series. The camera receives EF lens lenses.
EOS 5D is known as the first full-frame DSLR camera with a standard body size (compared to the camera's higher camera style, professional "double grip"). This is also important for the price, recommended at US $ 3299 sans lens, which sets a significant new low price point for full-frame DSLR; the only full-frame competition at that time was the Canon 1Ds Mark II, which cost more than doubled.
On September 17, 2008, Canon announced the successor to the camera, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

Features
Image sensor and processing
5D has a DIGIC II processor and full-frame CMOS sensor 35.8 x 23.9 mm with 13.3 million pixels (12.7 megapixels effective) and 1.5 megapixel pixel density per square centimeter. ISO speeds from 100 to 1600 are provided, adjustable in 1/3 step (ISO can be expanded to L: 50 or H: 3200 with menu function). The ISO 50 setting reduces the dynamic range by stopping at the highlights.
Autofocus and measurements
5D has nine auto focus points (plus six "invisible AF dots" available only during continuous focus tracking) arranged in a horizontal diamond pattern. The AF system is a small upgrade to the one in 20D. The camera uses TCL 35-zone SPC metering with four variations (evaluative, center-weighted, partial, dot) and exposure compensation -2 EV up to 2 EV in steps 1/3 EV.E-TTL II flash metering is provided.
Shutter
The shutter is upgraded to 100,000 shots, and capable of speeding up to 1/8000 seconds, with 1/200 second flash synchronization speed.
Ergonomics
The 5D design is very similar to 20D, and most of the controls are identical or almost identical. Differences include:
- The pentaprism viewfinder is much larger and lighter with approximately. 96% coverage. This arrangement, borrowed from the 1D range, eliminates pop-up popups from the consumer range.
- Larger color TFT liquid crystal monitor, 230,000 pixels, 2.5 "(63Ã, mm)
Speed ââ
5D can capture up to 3 frames per second, with buffers that can store up to 60 frames in large JPEG mode, and up to 17 frames in RAW.
Physical dimensions
- Size (LxHxW): 152 x 113 x 75 mm (6.0 x 4.4 x 2.9 inches)
- Weight (body w/battery only): 895 g
File numbering
5D is the first Canon prosumer DSLR where 9,999 images are saved to a single folder (exclusive to the EOS-1D series), unlike its predecessor where 100 images are stored.
