Chronology | |
Successor | Canon EOS 5D Mark II[1] |
The Canon EOS 5D is a 12.7 megapixel digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera body produced by Canon. The EOS 5D was announced by Canon on 22 August 2005,[2] and at the time was priced above the EOS 20D but below the EOS-1D Mark II and EOS-1Ds Mark II in Canon's EOS digital SLR series. The camera accepts EF lens mount lenses.
The EOS 5D is notable for being the first full-frame DSLR camera with a standard body size (as opposed to the taller, double-grip "professional" camera body style). It is also notable for its price, suggested at US$3299 without lens,[2] which set a significant new low price point for full-frame DSLRs; its only full-frame competition at the time was the Canon 1Ds Mark II, which cost more than twice as much.[3]
On 17 September 2008, Canon announced the camera's successor, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.[4]
Features
Sensor and image processing
The 5D has a DIGIC II processor and a 35.8 x 23.9 mm full-frame CMOS sensor with 13.3 million pixels (12.7 megapixel effective) and a pixel density of 1.5 megapixels per square centimetre. ISO speeds from 100 to 1600 are provided, adjustable in 1/3 steps (ISO can be expanded to L: 50 or H: 3200 with a menu function). The ISO 50 setting reduces dynamic range by a stop in the highlights.
Autofocus and metering
The 5D has nine autofocus points (plus six "invisible assist AF points" available only during continuous-focus tracking) arranged in a horizontal diamond pattern. The AF system was a minor upgrade to the one on the 20D.[citation needed] The camera uses TTL 35-zone SPC metering with four variations (evaluative, center-weighted, partial, spot) and exposure compensation of −2 EV to +2 EV in steps of 1/3 EV.E-TTL II flash metering is provided.
Shutter
The shutter is rated to 100,000 shots,[5] and is capable of speeds up to 1/8000 sec, with a flash sync speed of 1/200 sec.
Ergonomics
The 5D is very similar in design to the 20D, and most of the controls are identical or nearly so. Differences include:
- A much larger and brighter pentaprism viewfinder with approx. 96% coverage. This arrangement, borrowed from the 1D range, omits the pop-up flash of the consumer range.
- A larger, 230,000 pixel, 2.5" (63 mm) colour TFT liquid-crystal monitor
Speed
The 5D can shoot up to 3 frames per second, with a buffer 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 in)
- Weight (body only w/battery): 895 g
File numbering
The 5D is the first prosumer Canon DSLR where 9,999 images are stored to one folder (which was exclusive to the EOS-1D series), unlike its predecessors where 100 images are stored.
Software
The package includes the following software:[6]
- Digital Photo Professional
- ZoomBrowser EX / ImageBrowser
- PhotoStitch
- EOS Utility
- Picture Style Editor
The EOS 5D is compatible with Magic Lantern firmware (old versions only).
