Canon's EOS 5D
is the first 'affordable' digital SLR with a full-frame sensor, allowing
lenses to perform exactly as they would on a 35mm film body. Boasting 12.8
Megapixels, the quality's roughly equivalent to a 3000 dpi 35mm film scan
too. It's an impressive combination which we tested over an extended six
month period. Find out more in our full Canon EOS 5D review and check out our new EOS 5D upgrade video
