Canon EOS 5D Field Report by Michael Reichmann
Michael Reichmann has just posted his field report on a pre-production Canon EOS 5D at Luminous Landscape and wrote:
“The 5D produces images essentially as good as those from the 1Ds MKII – and that’s about as good as it gets. It has slightly lower resolution, of course, but with some theoretical advantages associated with larger pixel size and more recent sensor chip design.
The bottom line then is this – the Canon 5D is an immensely satisfying camera. In a physical size, weight and form factor it is little different than the mainstream of 5 – 8 Megapixel APS sized cameras. But Canon has, with the 5D, provided photographers with a full-frame 35mm of sufficient resolution – 12.8 Megapixel – to meet the print and reproduction size needs of the vast majority of serious photographers. Image quality, whether at normal or at high ISO, is as good as it currently gets. “
