EOS
5D states that it 'defines (a) new D-SLR category', this
particular statement is clearly pretty accurate.
The
EOS 5D is unlike any previous digital SLR in that it combines
a full-frame (35 mm sized) high resolution sensor (12.8
megapixels) with a relatively compact body (slightly larger
than the EOS 20D.
The
EOS 5D is aimed to slot in between the EOS 20D and the
EOS-1D professional digital SLR's, an important difference
when compared to the latter is that the EOS 5D doesn't
have any environmental seals.
While
Canon don't specifically refer to the EOS 5D as a 'professional'
digital SLR it will have obvious appeal to professionals
who want a high quality digital SLR in a body lighter
than the EOS-1D.
It
is for this reason that I moved to this camera, and quite
frankly it is good to be back to 100mm being 100mm and
not 160mm

Zoom
Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Image Stabilizer
USM Autofocus Lens
A compact,
lightweight standard zoom lens with superior optical performance
plus a built-in Image Stabilizer. The IS system reduces
the possibility of blurred photographs caused by camera
shake, enabling handheld photography in comparatively
dim light without a flash or tripod. The IS system is
composed of a pair of gyro sensors to detect vertical
and horizontal motion and a microprocessor that compensates
for it by shifting special lens elements in parallel with
the perceived movement. At the wideangle end of the zoom
range, the equivalent shutter speed gain is approximately
1.5 stops while at the telephoto end, it is approximately
2 stops. In addition, the lens has a USM drive mechanism
for optimum AF performance, and the pulse control diaphragm
(EMD) ensures precise aperture control.
Zoom
Telephoto EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 EF IS Image Stabilizer
USM Autofocus Lens
The world's
first interchangeable lens with a built-in image Stabilizer
(IS), the new Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens -
designed exclusively for Canon EOS cameras, dramatically
reduces the chance of a blurred photograph due to camera
motion ("shake") especially when shooting at long focal
lengths with slow shutter speed. Controlled by a built-in
16-bit microcomputer, a series of gyro sensors and micro-motors
instantly shift one of the lens groups to compensate for
inadvertent camera motion. A very practical benefit of
the IS system is a reduction in the old "focal length
= shutter speed" rule by two full stops. Now you can expect
sharp pictures at 200 mm with a shutter speed of only
1/60th second!
