After a week or so of teaser ads Canon has finally unveiled the successor to the venerable EOS 5D, the world’s first ‘compact’ full frame digital SLR. The EOS 5D Mark II boasts a new 21MP CMOS sensor, an expanded ISO range of 50-25,600 and a wealth of improvements and new features including full 1080p HD movie recording, live view, 3.0″ 920k dot LCD, DIGIC IV processor, increased battery capacity and sensor dust reduction.
They were maybe not the first, but now that they’re in, the set the new state-of-the-art: the new 5D mark II camera is the first digital SLR camera capable of recording video on 1080p (full HD) resolution. That’s right: this is a full-frame camera, that you can use with your Canon EF lenses.
