Theres plenty to admire about the 5D Mark II, from the image quality to the impressive feature set, and only the occasional handling niggle really prevent it from being a top-notch DSLR...
Abstract: The full-frame Canon EOS 5D Mk II is the replacement for the 12.8-megapixel EOS 5D and packs a new 21-million pixel CMOS sensor, three-inch photo-quality LCD, Live View with stills and full HD video, and improved weatherproofing. The full-frame Canon ...
Great image quality; expanded ISO range; HD video; great interface.
New RAW modes have a slight color shift; cheaper cameras available with larger feature set.
Like its predecessor, Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II is a great camera that offers exceptional image quality and a great interface. I’d like to see a few additional features (better auto bracketing and an intervalometer, for starters) but these are qu...
Abstract: The new Canon EOS 5D MkII is something of a hybrid between the Canon EOS 50D and the Canon EOS 1Ds MkIII, in fact Canon in one of their publications say that the EOS 5D MkII "...shares 80% of its features with the EOS 5D, and 10% with the flagship C...
Excellent resolution, very close to Sony Alpha 900 (and essentially the same as EOS-1Ds Mark III), Very good High ISO performance, almost as good as Nikon D700 / D3, Wide range of ISO settings from 50 to 25600 (with ISO Expansion enabled) and useful auto...

How do you follow a classic? Thats the question Canon faced when it got to work producing a successor to the EOS 5D. The original 5D was the first affordable and lightweight (in relative terms) full frame camera, and set a standard for low noise at...
Abstract: The Canon EOS 5D Mark II was quite possibly Canons most highly anticipated Digital SLR ever, and the scramble to get in a preorder line insured that very few 5D IIs would be found in stock any time near their first availability date in early December ...
The full-frame, 21.1-megapixel Canon 5D Mark II is in many ways an exceptional camera, and truly groundbreaking when it comes to video recording, where it not only holds sway as the first SLR to offer full 1080p movies, but delivers exceptionally high...
The Canon EOS 5D MkII is a remarkably capable camera with excellent imaging capability, including the ability to shoot broadcast quality HD video and record sound in stereo. It represents an advance in features over the original EOS 5D and the overall ...
Excellent performance and photo quality; good video-capture capabilities and quality
No built-in wireless controller; large spot meter; no built-in flash; more direct controls would be nice; autofocus system could use an update
The Canon EOS 5D Mark II is a great follow-up to the original 5D and a top-flight full-frame camera that delivers the fluid shooting experience and fine photos you'd expect from a professional model ...
