Back in August 2005 Canon 'defined a new DSLR category' (their words) with the EOS 5D. Unlike any previous 'full frame' sensor camera, the 5D was the first with a compact body (i.e. not having an integral vertical grip) and has since then proved to be very popular, perhaps because...
Re: My 5D Mark II Review series In reply toscared_of_the_dark•Jan 4, 2009 Hi Lawrence, Thanks so much for taking the time to research and compose that piece, very thoughtfully done. I've been looking forward to grabbing one of these babies come springtime, and it's been enjoyable ...
I don't plan on commenting on DPR's review of the R5II because I don't intend to read it. The last review by them that I read was over a decade ago, the 5DIII review where they bashed the AF because the auto AF point selection 'just selects the closest subject' when, in ...
The Canon 5D is something of an imaging legend, so any examination of the 5D Mark II update has to begin with a comparison to the current 5D. Our comparisons are based on a similar technique used in our review of theSony A900. Namely, we did same size 150x250 actual pixel crops as ...

I was astounded when I discovered that a cheap $175 Russian fisheye on my 5D gave better image quality than my brand-new 10.5mm Nikkor on my D200. See the comparison in my Zenitar 16mm Fisheye review. This is part of The Full Frame Advantage, part of which which is that even bad ...
Although performing well in all our DxOMark Lens Metric Scores the Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM only ranks 5th for EF mount telephoto primes on the EOS 5D Mark II and new in terms of quality to price ratio the Sigma 85mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM is noticeably sharper and a couple of hundred ...

Thebelow review by The Camera Storeshows how the 5D Mark III autofocus system even outperforms the Nikon D800. Apart from the fast AF system, the maximum frame rate has also been increased to 6fps (up from 3.9fps on the 5D Mark II). While it’s not bad, I would have preferred at ...
