Canon’s EOS 5D Full-Frame Digital SLR ; Is This The Affordable Pro Digital We’ve Been Waiting For?
David B. Brooks  |  Feb 01, 2006

Canon's new EOS 5D full-frame sensor digital SLR with 12.8-megapixel resolution set off a lot of speculation and opining in the electronic ether, which was to be expected.

David B. Brooks  |  Nov 01, 2007

In fact, I was so impatient that I requested the opportunity to try out the professional Canon imagePROGRAF iPF5000 17" 12-color ink model (report published in the March 2007 issue of Shutterbug, and now online at www.shutterbug.com).
