Canon EOS 5D Mk II DSLR camera review

Stunning serious semi-pro snapper?

Reviewer: Doug Harman
Review Date: 2 June 2009
Manufacturer: Canon
Price as reviewed: £3049 (RRP body and 24-105mm F4 L kit lens used in this test)
Latest price: £0.00

9/10

The good: Excellent image quality, good ergonomics and build, menu system, comprehensive feature set and customisability, info panel, responsive, HD movie capture
The bad: Joystick and Quick Dial take getting used to; slight underexposure issues, Mode dial easy to inadvertently jog, battery and memory card slot covers are flimsy, no built-in flash unit
Verdict: Canon’s EOS 5D Mk II refreshes the original 5D in light of stiff competition. The feature-rich 5D Mk II boasts an in-vogue and rather superb 1080p HD movie mode but looks very pricey
Key specs: 21 megapixels, CompactFlash, HDMI

it is not the more the professional user who would get this? If you are a amateur semi professional, the EOS 90 or 500 would be the more obvious choice from Canon. As a semi your focus is most like to improve picture quality, then you’ll be better off investing in a great lens if you ask me Posted by misund007, United Kingdom
