Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II is a digital SLR camera that’s designed primarily for serious enthusiasts, yet it also has plenty to entice new D-SLR users. It’s a cut above mid-range D-SLR digital cameras, so it’s expensive, but you do get a lot for your money.
Compact, lightweight with environmental protection, EOS 5D successor boasts a newly designed Canon CMOS sensor, with ISO sensitivity up to 25,600 for shooting in near dark conditions. The new DIGIC 4 processor combines with the improved CMOS sensor to deliver medium format territory image quality at 3.9 frames per second, for up to 310 frames. The integration of HD movie capability into a high-end 21.1-megapixel camera opens a multitude of new possibilities for photojournalists and news photographers. With its full-frame CMOS sensor and outstanding ISO performance, the EOS 5D Mark II will appeal to any photographer in search of the finest camera equipment available – from studio and wedding to nature and travel photographers.
The EOS 5D Mark II will find favour with many genres of photographer; from photojournalists and social photographers to landscape and natural history shooters. In fact, the only group of photographers it won’t suit are those shooting high-speed sports when a faster frame rate is required to keep up with the action.
