Both Bob Atkins Photography and Shutterbug have recently completed reviews for the Canon EOS Full-frame Digital SLR.

At around $3000, the Canon EOS 5D is currently the lowest cost full 35mm frame DSLR available. In fact it's the lowest price full frame DSLR that ever has been available. The EOS 1Ds Mk II sells for in the region of $7200 and right now that's the only other option for a full frame 35mm DSLR. The Kodak 14c had a pretty short life which perhaps say ssomething about it's practicality and problems with noise and speed of operation. The EOS 5D is not only cheaper, but a far more practical camera with better usability. much faster operation and an ISO range from 50 to 3200 with good image quality.

Bob Atkins states,

The EOS 5D will likely be regarded as something of a landmark camera and shows how much digital technology has advanced in only a few years. [ more ]

One key statement in the Shutterbug review really struck a chord with me.

It seems to me, from what I’ve experienced using the Canon EOS 5D, it’s unlikely to disappoint. [ more ]

All in all both people gave the 5D glowing reviews. I currently have the 5D on my wishlist and should be a proud owner of the 5D in April of this year.
