New Canon EOS 5D 12.8 MP

oduct Description     When you want unmatched clarity and precision shooting from a digital SLR, Canon's EOS 5D gives you just what you're aiming for - and more. This latest addition to the EOS lineup has the superior imaging, fast response, and elegant design to serve the needs and interests of serious enthusiasts as well as professionals. Premier performance and convenient features start with a remarkable 12.8-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, refined DIGIC II imaging engine, and responsive 3fps continuous shooting. Distinct advantages like highly customizable settings, direct printing, and wireless/wired LAN compatibility prove that Canon continues to earn its reputation for reliability and comfort. The EOS 5D is the model to choose for simple, sophisticated performance and accessible image processing of remarkably high quality. Enhancing all aspects of image capture by the full-frame CMOS sensor, the exclusive DIGIC II imaging engine delivers a superior tonal range for precise and faithful photos. Satisfying results also come from the all-new Picture Style function. With a choice of six Picture Styles, you can easily control sharpness, contrast, color saturation, color tone and more for greater image variety. The EOS 5D is especially configured for truly creative photographers who naturally demand practical ease with uncompromising performance. Originally developed by Canon, a high-resolution, 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor sets the standard for its class, featuring a remarkable 12.8 million effective pixels for a maximum recorded resolution of 4, 368 x 2, 912 pixels. Second-generation on-chip noise reduction is enhanced for easier use with a choice of two modes: "Auto", to engage auto noise reduction when noise is detected; "ON", to engage noise reduction for all exposures of 1 sec. or longer. From smooth gradations and wide ISO speed range to effective suppression of false colors and ultra-precise white balance, this sensor matches the image quality found in the flagship model of Canon's EOS digital SLR lineup, EOS-1Ds Mark II. These refinements are the result of sophisticated DIGIC II imaging engine technology. DIGIC II is Canon's advanced imaging technology that processes massive data from the large CMOS sensor at extremely high speed for photos of exceptional quality and definition. This accelerated performance contributes to highly responsive, user-friendly operation, including a fast continuous shooting speed. Color reproduction is extremely natural and details are incredibly precise, especially with gradations in the highlight areas. Such processing efficiency also keeps power consumption minimal. The new EOS 5D has an array of premier functions often demanded by photographers who want hands-on creative control and comfort in a camera. Accurate focusing, enhanced durability, and quick, reliable response will make inspired ideas come true. Look through the viewfinder or 2.5-inch LCD to see how bright and wide your vision can be. With the EOS 5D, Canon frees your hands as well as your imagination by simplifying shooting operations. As for post-processing, expanded PictBridge functionality not only saves printing time but offers new ways to shape the world you see.
