Canon 5D Digital SLR Camera
This "Best Of" selection comes courtesy of one of the best known and most respected brands of any type. Canon has been named by Fortune magazine as one of the "most admired" companies in America. And Business Week magazine has ranked Canon #35 in its list of the top 100 brands. Such popularity doesn't come without delivering the goods, and Canon delivers a mighty fine digital SLR in its 5D model. It's the world's smallest and lightest digital SLR, offering 12.8 megapixels, and an impressive image quality. The 5D's DIGIC II image processor is capable of shooting up to three frames-per-second (up to 60 JPEG or 17 RAW images). In addition, by deftly handling larger volumes of data, the DIGIC II eats up less power, allowing you to shoot all day without having to change the battery, which inevitably happens just when the proverbial shot of the day appears before your very eyes. This is a very social camera, too. The 5D is compatible with more than 50 Canon EF lenses and most of its EOS accessories. That said, you could be very unsocial and opt not to share this camera with anyone.
After thorough independent research, we selected the Canon 5D Digital SLR Camera as a 3LUXE "Best Of", to see our other two Digital SLR selections visit our Digital SLR Overview.
