Experts using an EOS 1Ds, which are also equipped with a full-format sensor, use the comparatively favorable 5D as a second camera. In contrast to the EOS 40D, however, the camera does not have a built-in pop-up flash, which in turn is typical of a professional housing. Many might miss a built-in flash, which is good for brightening portraits. The EOS 5D determines the required exposure data selectively with multi-field measurement (35 sectors), selectively (8% of the viewfinder field) or mid-range.
In addition, a spot measurement is available, which refers to 3.5 percent of the viewfinder field. The 9-point autofocus features improved tracking in AI servo mode. According to the manufacturer, this is because six in the viewfinder invisible AF fields are activated around the central AF cross sensor when the camera is operated in the AI servo mode and the middle AF field is selected. The measured triggering delay including AF time is 0.3 s, which is only an average compared to the smaller sister EOS 40D (0.19 s). At the frame times, the EOS 5D is in the rear seats at 3.1 B / s. The operating concept is EOS-typical and is surrounded by the rotary wheel attached at the rear with an integrated confirmation button, which allows menu items to be quickly selected and values can be changed.
So it is not particularly disturbing that all 31 menu points are on one level and must be selected by scrolling with the wheel. Jump to the first entry of the three submenus by means of the jump button; colored stripes on the side facilitate the orientation. In addition to various buttons, there is a miniaturized 4-way switch (jog dial), which is used for navigating in the zoom magnified image. At the center of the action is the 2.5-inch monitor with a resolution of 76,700 pixels.
Image quality
With its 35.8 x 23.9 mm 12-megapixel CMOS, the EOS 5D achieves resolutions around the Nikon D300 level, the noise (0.7 / 1.1 VN at ISO 100/400) and the Object contrast (9.0 / 8.5 screens at ISO 100/400), however, the newer competition models. For the white balance, it creates the possible best value with 1 Delta RGB (4 points). Very balanced the overall result for the picture quality at ISO 100/400: 59 / 58.5 points.
