Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR With 12.8 Megapixel

Photographers who have yearned for a full-frame digital SLR that won't break the bank -- or their backs -- get their wish with the compact Canon EOS 5D digital SLR, which offers a full-frame CMOS sensor with 12.8 megapixels of resolution. As the world's smallest and lightest full-frame digital SLR (as of August 2005), the EOS 5D model features Canon's proprietary DIGIC II Image Processor, which allows users to shoot up to 3 frames per second and record up to 60 full-resolution JPEGs and 17 RAW images in a single burst. The camera includes a new 9-point AF system with six supplemental AF points for fast and precise focusing and a new 2.5" LCD/TFT screen with 230,000 pixels that's viewable even at extreme angles.

Combining the high-end specifications of the EOS-1 Line and the operational ease of the EOS 20D model, the new Canon EOS 5D digital SLR is a premium digital SLR designed for a wide range of photographers. While a 35mm full-size image sensor is already available on the groundbreaking Canon EOS-1Ds Mark II camera, many photographers have been asking for a DSLR with a full-frame sensor that is smaller, lighter and more affordable. Enter the Canon EOS 5D digital SLR. Boasting a 12.8 megapixel, 35mm full-size image sensor in a magnesium alloy body weighing just 28.6 ounces (810 grams), the EOS 5D digital SLR is a petite but powerful imaging machine.

The EOS 5D Body Only Kit does not come with a lens. The EOS 5D is also available in the EOS 5D EF 24-105mm Kit, which comes with all the kit contents listed below PLUS the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Zoom Lens.
