Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Comments:
Back in August 2005 Canon 'defined a new DSLR category' (their words) with the EOS 5D. Unlike any previous 'full frame' sensor camera, the 5D was the first with a compact body (i.e. not having an integral vertical grip) and has since then proved to be ver

QuickTake:

Pros: 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 aut
Cons: AI Servo (continuous AF) not as good as EOS-1 series or Nikon D700, Default noise reduction quite heavy at anything over ISO 400 (can be turned down though), JPEG output a bit soft when viewed at 100%, Still pretty average automatic white balance in artif

Comments:
"It if ain't broke, don't fix" it seems to have been the key aim of the Canon engineering team when designing the 5D Mark II. It's outwardly almost identical to its predecessor, sharing exactly the same dimensions (152 x 113.5 x 75mm), and same weight (81

Review Verdict: In terms of other key features, the comparison between the 5D Mark II and its main competitors is a little less clear-cut. The design of this new version hasn't substantially changed since the 3-year old original 5D, which could be viewed either as a test
