Canon 5d Mark II

In September of this year, Canon officially announced the new 5d Mark II as the successor to the very popular 5d. Canon has already won over many photojournalists and wedding photographers with the original 5d due to it being not only the first compact full-frame DSLR, but also by being remarkable in its features and image quality. The new 5d Mark II looks to blow the first 5d out of the water. Boasting a full-frame 21 megapixel sensor, 3.0" Live View LCD, ISO expansion up to ISO25600, and full 1080p HD Video recording just to name a few, its near impossible to see how this camera could disappoint! I can't wait to get my hands on one to try it out, and I intend on picking one up as soon as I can sell my soul to the highest bidder! Check out the quite extensive, in-depth preview on dpReview or read more from Canon.
