Review: Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR At Think Camera
Mary Branscombe writing over at Think Camera reviewed the Canon EOS 5D which is noted as the "first digital SLR to combine a full-frame sensor with an affordable price tag". 'Most of the controls work with the two wheels that fall under your forefinger and thumb. Press the Drive-ISO button and you can change the ISO with your thumb or the drive mode with the finger wheel. You can use whichever control wheel is more comfortable to navigate the menus but the Set button is on the thumbwheel. There's a separate joystick for selecting autofocus points and fine-tuning the white balance. Not all of the controls are logical. You can lock the exposure and the main control wheel but not the exposure mode dial next to the flash shoe and one button is devoted to printing, which is an odd choice on this level of camera.'
