The 5D was unveiled 17 months prior to the L1 which makes the cameras a generation away from each other. Both the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving through a in depth comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the 5D grades versus the L1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 5D & Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1. The full galleries are provided at Canon 5D Gallery & Panasonic L1 Gallery.

If you are aiming to travel with your camera frequently, you are going to need to consider its weight and dimensions.

In many cases, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The image here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 5D and L1.

To sum up, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5D using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 5D will render more detail having an extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged 5D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
