Canon presents a power-packed yet affordable camera in the form of the new EOS 5D Mark II. Meant for professional photography, EOS 5D has a 36 x 24 mm Full Frame CMOS sensor. The sensitivity range from ISO 50 to ISO 25600 that makes shooting in ultra-low light quite easy. This is easily one of the most eagerly anticipated digital cameras and you can read a full review and comparison here:
Though it’s always had a big fan base, 5D users have nonetheless been itching for more, and the successor Canon delivers, the EOS 5D Mark II, will likely be a must-have upgrade, especially for the wedding photography crowd for whom the 5D is a workhorse. And with many of the imaging components of the 1Ds Mark III (and a later version of the image-processing engine, Digic 4) for a price tag $5,000 lower, it’s sure to be an attractive alternative.As long as Canon can pull off the image quality–which we’ve seen it do with the same sensor in the 1Ds Mark III–the high-resolution sensor will prove to be an asset.
EOS 5D has been armed with DIGIC 4 Digital Image Processor. It is the world’s first digital SLR camera that has 16:9 Full HD video capture plus 4:3 standard TV-quality video capture with amazing resolution.
It offers more scope for enlargement and detailing. With improved light transmission, advanced color filter and output amplifier, the EOS 5D is one of the best cameras available today.
EOS 5D produces even brightness across the image while using wide-angle lenses. Brightness is heightened by glass pentaprism. With both built-in and external microphones, you get superior sound quality.
It’s available in Hong Kong now:
EOS 5D Mark II Body $20,800
EOS 5D Mark II Kit Set $28,300 (with EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Lens)
