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...
Incredible image quality. High resolution. Low image noise at high ISOs. Jaw-dropping video capability. Live view. AF adjust.
Video can be cumbersome to control and is limited by short duration clips.
For those with big ambitions--and a budget to match--it’s hard to go wrong with the 5D. It offers professional features and image quality in a prosumer body, and as an added bonus, you get incredible, if sometimes tricky-to-use 1080p video capabilit...

The EOS 5D Mk II had tough act to follow in the 5D and it has some tough competition with Nikon’s D700 and Sony’s Alpha 900 being its primary targets. However, it almost pulls it off, offering Alpha 900-alike resolution and D700-alike high ISO perfor...
Abstract: A word of explanation…So why did I agree to review a DSLR camera for an audience of filmmakers? Because the specs of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II match the main features that most Microfilmmakers want. Microfilmmakers ideally look for five features in a vi...
Abstract: Replacing the very popular EOS 5D, the Mark II multiplies its pixels to reach a definition of 21.1 MP allowing shooting at an expanded sensitivity from 50 up to 25,600 ISO. It comes with a full HD video mode driven by a DIGIC IV processor. Fast, relia...
"Affordable" fullframe, high resolution camera, Full feature set, Excellent high ISO performance, Live View with 3 AF modes, HD video capabilities,
Relatively slow burst mode, Autofocus a little slow in low light, No builtin flash, which is not a big deal but an onboard flash could be useful, On board microphone is fairly weak and monaural (an accessory mic is required for stereo recording),
When the original 5D was introduced, Canon made it possible for photographers with relatively modest budgets to purchase a full-frame DSLR. Now, for about the same price, photographers can easily put their hands on a full-frame, high resolution camera ...
While the camera is not without its flaws, the 5D Mark II is by far the best bang-for-buck DSLR that Canon has ever produced. Unfortunately, the achilles heel of the flagship camera is its dated autofocus system. It’s great to have low noise at high ...
