From WikipediaThe Canon EOS 5D is a 12.7 megapixel full-frame digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera body produced by Canon. Announced on 22 August 2005, the EOS 5D was the first full-frame DSLR camera with a standard body size, as opposed to the taller, double-grip "professional" camera body style of previous full-frame models. At a suggested retail price of US$3,299, the camera set a significant new low price point for full-frame DSLRs and made the format accessible to enthusiast photographers; its only full-frame competition at the time was the Canon 1Ds Mark II, which cost more than twice as much. The camera accepts EF lens mount lenses.
The EOS 5D received widespread critical acclaim and won multiple industry awards, including the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) Best D-SLR Professional award in 2006 and the European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) European Professional Camera award for 2006–2007. Reviewers praised the camera's image quality, full-frame sensor performance, and value proposition, with Digital Photography Review giving it a "Highly Recommended" verdict.
Canon announced the camera's successor, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, on 17 September 2008. Despite being discontinued, the original 5D has experienced a resurgence of interest in the late 2010s and 2020s as a "digital classic," with photographers appreciating its distinctive image rendering characteristics and sensor qualities that have been compared to film.
