Canon EOS 5D delivers as promised

Category: Review on Canon EOS 5D Digital Camera

Strengths: Good image quality, reasonably priced and large LCD screen

Weaknesses: Plasticky finish of the camera, red fringing of images

The Canon EOS 5D hangs in the middle of the wide range of digital cameras available to users and can be ranked as a good camera for amateurs who are looking for a reliable digital camera which comes at a reasonable price tag. The EOS 5D is solidly build and actually looks a lot more advanced than it is which means that you might actually be mislead in believing that the camera sports more features than it actually does.

The output or photographs from the Canon EOS 5D is no doubt amazing and you are unlikely to find such clear images which have practically no background noise to talk about. The very comfortable 2.5 inch LCD lets you use the camera comfortably and the manual controls allow very good control over the functions. Some images might show a red fringing but that might be happening due to over exposure and if you have experienced slightly more expensive cameras, you will realize that the plastic exterior of the camera feels a bit flimsy.

Nonetheless, Canon EOS 5D remains a fairly decent camera for users who would like a branded product and have a budget in mind. the EOS 5D uses the 35mm format which is the most common one and users have no learning curve when trying to work with it. These user-friendly tones make the Canon camera a fairly good purchase and you are likely to enjoy using it on your next vacation.
