DCRP has reviewed the 12.8 megapixel EOS 5D dSLR camera from Canon, here's a short clip from their test report:

The Canon EOS-5D ($3299) is a full-frame, 12.8 Megapixel camera that fits in between the EOS-20D and EOS-1Ds Mk II cameras. The full-frame term means that there's no focal length conversion (often called a field-of-view crop factor) to worry about. When you put a 50 mm lens on the 20D it has the field-of-view of an 80 mm lens. Not so on the 5D (or 1Ds Mk II for that matter): a 50 mm lens really is 50 mm. That means that won't need to be things like 16 mm lenses in order to take wide-angle photos.
