Photo.net Canon EOS 5D Mark II Review

Bob Atkins reviews Canon's addition to the family: the hot-ticket Canon EOS 5D Mark II. This camera has been much anticipated, largely due to the success of the predecessor, the EOS 5D. The Mark II version includes the ability to shoot HD video, setting new standards for DSLRs in the future.

"The 5D MkII can record at 30 fps in 1080p HDTV mode (1920×1080) pixels, but while in video mode you can also shoot a single still image or even a burst of still images at any time (though that does pause video recording). Not only does the 5D MkII record video, but it has a built in microphone (just below the 5D logo on the front of the camera) to record mono sound and a jack for an optional external stereo microphone. There’s a small speaker on the back of the camera, which allows you to listen to the recorded audio in playback mode." -Bob Atkins
