CANON 20D vs CANON 5D

Canon 5D and Canon 20D cameras
Canon 5D and Canon 20D digital SLRs

UPDATED AUGUST 30, 2005

The Canon 5D is a great new camera with a full-frame, 12.8 megapixel CMOS sensor and it costs $4,600 less than the only other full-frame D-SLR currently in production (see the post below). It has a a 60 jpeg frames continuous buffer (17 RAW) at 3 frames per second. It adds spotmetering to center weighted, partial, and evaluative metering. It has several major advantages over the Canon 20D which makes the upgrade worthwhile if the price isn't too big of an obstacle ($3299). The Canon 20D does have some minor advantages over the 5D.

You can read my detailed "First Look" preview and 20D vs 5D comparison here.

Pre-order a Canon EOS 5D from Adorama or Amazon.
