\"Canon
\nCanon 5D digital camera<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s now offical. After lots of rumors and a Canon news leak a few days ago, today Canon announced the EOS 5D digital camera with a full frame, 12.8 megapixel CMOS sensor with an expected price around $3300 USD. For everyone who has been wanting a full frame sensor in a less expensive body, this is a huge step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This camera will be about $4,600 less than the Canon 1Ds Mark II. While $3,300 can hardly be considered inexpensive, this is the same price point at which the 3 megapixel Canon D30 was introduced just five short years ago. A jump from 8 to 12 megapixels will be a boon for many photographers. It isn’t as much as the 16 megapixels of the Canon 1Ds Mark II, but that would cost $7,900 USD.<\/p>\n

The nice thing about a full frame digital sensor is that all of our wide angle lenses will have the same field of view as they do on a 35mm film camera. There is no “field of view crop”<\/a> with this camera.<\/p>\n

Canon has information here<\/a>, and there is a detailed preview at DP Review<\/a>. I am sure that detailed reviews of the camera will be eagerly awaited.<\/p>\n

Canon also introduced two new EF lenses and updated versions of some of their point and shoot cameras. Of particular interest is the Canon EF 24-105mm f\/4L IS USM. Look for a post on this lens soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
