The Canon EOS 5D is a 12.7 megapixel digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera body produced by Canon. The EOS 5D was announced by Canon on 22 August 2005,{{cite press release | publisher = Canon | date = 22 August 2005 | title = NEW CANON EOS 5D IS A PREMIUM DIGITAL SLR AT AN AFFORDABLE... | url = http://www.usa.canon.com/templatedata/pressrelease/20050822_eos5d.html | access-date = 9 December 2009 | archive-date = 18 February 2008 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080218134241/http://www.usa.canon.com/templatedata/pressrelease/20050822_eos5d.html | url-status = dead }} and at the time was priced above the EOS 20D but below the EOS-1D Mark II and EOS-1Ds Mark II in Canon's EOS digital SLR series. The camera accepts EF lens mount lenses.
The EOS 5D is notable for being the first full-frame DSLR camera with a standard body size (as opposed to the taller, double-grip "professional" camera body style). It is also notable for its price, suggested at US$3299 without lens, which set a significant new low price point for full-frame DSLRs; its only full-frame competition at the time was the Canon 1Ds Mark II, which cost more than twice as much.{{cite web|url=http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/CanonEOS5D/page32.asp#Overall_conclusion|title=Canon EOS 5D Review|last=Askey|first=Phil|date=November 2005|publisher=Dpreview.com|access-date=9 December 2009 | page = 32}}
On 17 September 2008, Canon announced the camera's successor, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II.{{cite press release | publisher = Canon | date = 17 September 2008 | title = CANON U.S.A.

Features
=Sensor and image processing=
The 5D has a DIGIC II processor and a 35.8 x 23.9 mm full-frame CMOS sensor with 13.3 million pixels (12.7 megapixel effective) and a pixel density of 1.5 megapixels per square centimetre. ISO speeds from 100 to 1600 are provided, adjustable in 1/3 steps (ISO can be expanded to L: 50 or H: 3200 with a menu function). The ISO 50 setting reduces dynamic range by a stop in the highlights.
=Autofocus and metering=
The 5D has nine autofocus points (plus six "invisible assist AF points" available only during continuous-focus tracking) arranged in a horizontal diamond pattern. The AF system was a minor upgrade to the one on the 20D.{{Citation needed|date=December 2009}} The camera uses TTL 35-zone SPC metering with four variations (evaluative, center-weighted, partial, spot) and exposure compensation of −2 EV to +2 EV in steps of 1/3 EV.E-TTL II flash metering is provided.
=Shutter=
The shutter is rated to 100,000 shots,[http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=11933#ModelFeaturesAct Canon's Official Website]: Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161208152812/https://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=139&modelid=11933#ModelFeaturesAct |date=8 December 2016 }} and is capable of speeds up to 1/8000 sec, with a flash sync speed of 1/200 sec.
=Ergonomics=
The 5D is very similar in design to the 20D, and most of the controls are identical or nearly so. Differences include:
- A much larger and brighter pentaprism viewfinder with approx. 96% coverage. This arrangement, borrowed from the 1D range, omits the pop-up flash of the consumer range.
- A larger, 230,000 pixel, {{convert|2.5|in|mm|abbr=on}} colour TFT liquid-crystal monitor
=Speed=
The 5D can shoot up to 3 frames per second, with a buffer that can store up to 60 frames in large JPEG mode, and up to 17 frames in RAW.
=Physical dimensions=
- Size (LxHxW): 152 x 113 x 75 mm (6.0 x 4.4 x 2.9 in)
- Weight (body only w/battery): 895 g
=File numbering=
The 5D is the first prosumer Canon DSLR where 9,999 images are stored to one folder (which was exclusive to the EOS-1D series), unlike its predecessors where 100 images are stored.
=Software=
The package includes the following software:{{cite web |url=https://www.canon-europe.com/support/consumer_products/products/cameras/digital_slr/eos_5d.aspx |title=EOS 5D Support – Download drivers, software & manuals |publisher=Canon Europe |website=canon-europe.com}}
