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.
