While the high definition movies are excellent we do have reservations about the utility of this feature. To work properly the camera needs to be tripod mounted and the focus needs to be constantly tweaked manually. The user manual says “auto focusi...

LCD screen doesn’t flip out
Awkward focusing in Live View mode
No manual overrides in movie mode
Automatic white balance isn't great in artificial light

Abstract: Canon’s original 5D (released back in 2005) was arguably the best digital SLR ever produced by the well-known industry powerhouse. It was quickly and lovingly embraced by the photography community and has no doubt paved the way for its successor, the 5...
Abstract: If you're bothered by lateral color fringes, the Canon 5D Mark II has no ability to correct them, condemning you to having to use DxO software and modules to fix these common lens defects, while..
Simple user interface. Selfcleaning sensor. Terrific highISO images. Peripheralillumination correction eliminates vignetting to keep brightness consistent across the entire image. Auto lighting optimizer boosts shadow detail. Full manual control over vide...
Abstract: An increasing number of digital SLR cameras are adding video recording. Canon's 5D Mark II is notable because it blends very sophisticated photography features with 1920 x 1080p video recording. Note that this is not a review of the 5D's photo features...
Abstract: The 5D Mark II produced an excellent video image. The picture was sharp, colors were strong and accurate, and motion was very smooth. The camera also managed the least amount of artifacting weve seen from the video-capable DSLRs weve tested so far. W...
Excellent still image and video quality. Solid design and great interface. Accommodates Canon’s best glass, in addition to a variety of other accessories. ...
Records to CF cards, which are slowly becoming extinct. Not terribly feature-rich. 21-megapixel RAW images eat memory like its their Birthday. ...
There arent many DSLRs that can compete with the Canon Eos 5D Mark II. This 21-megapixel professional DSLR has burrowed itself into a rather unconventional hole within the pegboard of the advanced DSLR market, courtesy not only of exceptional still ...
Abstract: The Canon EOS 5D Mark II is a 21.1-megapixel, full frame, professional-level digital SLR with 1080p HD video capture. It has pretty much all the bells and whistles you’d expect of a professional camera that sells for over $2,500, including a hig...
