It arrived today, actually I picked it up. Introducing the Canon 5D, released in 2005 it is still considered one of the greatest digital SLR cameras on the market today. But I'm not going to review it because I only just got it.

I've spent the past 2 years gearing up for this purchase, it isn't an insignificant one.

This camera will sit along side my current 10D. The 10D was the 3rd generation digital SLR from Canon and in my mind still one of the best cameras for the money, I have seen. My 10D still takes stunning photos and I look forward to using it for many years to come.

The 5D doubles the effective number of megapixels of the 10D to 12.8. But this wasn't the reason I finally bought it.

Reason 1: Superb ISO performance even up to 1600iso.
Reason 2. Full frame sensor giving my wide angle its true width.
Reason 3. Spot Metering.

I'm looking forward to getting down and dirty with the new 5D.
