Canon - EOS-5D Body Only Digital Camera Review

The Canon 5D is a great camera. I have been a avid fan of photography for years and have been increasing my caliber of digital cameras as time has gone on. The 5D is a far leap from my first point and shoot digital cameras from years ago. The image quality is amazing as well as the new HD video shooting option. The video is crisp and clear with fairly good color attention. While I did notice a bit of color noise in the video, it is a small setback for having HD video recording capabilities in this already powerful camera. The main thing that really catches my attention is its ability to manipulate the focus range - just as with still photos, the SLRs capability to alter focal length and thus range of focus you can really see the effects of this with the video feature. When you see what is capable of you can compare the focus effects to an awesome rack focus seen in much higher budget productions using film cameras. All this said, the 5D handles itself beatifully with its image control and quality of course. I focus on the video capability because I was so suprised at how cool it looked!
