Hmmm. I seem to recall you had a phase with Canon 1Dx cameras? The 5D is a
different thing:
W H D Volume Wt.
F 147 98 56 807 685
FTn 147 102 95 1,415 1,049
5D 152 113 75 1,288 895
The volume figures are, of course those of a box into which each camera would
just fit, not the cameras themselves. I
suspect if you measured volume displacement, the 5D would still be a bit
smaller that the FTn.
No really 'fair' way to compare, as the 5D has exposure measuring capability
like the FTn, but there is no F equivalent
DSLR.
Still, I think "a baby camera compared to any full-frame DSLR!" may be
overstated, no?
