2. OVERVIEW

2.1 EOS 5D body

The EOS 5D combines the high-end specifications of the EOS-1Ds line (with 35mm full-
size sensor) and the operation ease of the EOS 20D. It is a high-end, AF D-SLR for advanced
amateurs.
Despite having a 35mm full-size sensor, the body is still relatively compact and light. It has
the latest features such as Picture Style, a 2.5-in. wide LCD monitor (larger menu text), and
9-point + Assist 6-point AF.
＊Since this camera is for advanced amateurs, there is no built-in flash and no Basic Zone modes.
