The Canon EOS 5D features a 12.8 megapixel Sensor (full frame), AF with 9 points, LCD of 2.5 inches, Magnesium body, DIGIC II and USB 2.0.

Each pixel is a very large 8.2µm, and is therefore able to receive a great deal of light, producing not only excellent resolution but a wide range of ISO settings and low noise levels on a par with the 8.2 megapixel EOS-1D Mark II camera. The DIGIC II Image Processor, DDR SDRAM and 4-channel reading enable an incredible burst performance of 60 Large/Fine JPEGs or 17 RAW images at 3 fps.
