Canon EOS 5D Mark II (body only) review

By (cnet.com)

Excellent performance and photo quality; good video capture capabilities and quality

No built-in wireless controller; large spot meter; no built-in flash; more direct controls would be nice; AF system could use an update

A great follow-up to the 5D and top-flight full-frame camera, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II delivers the fluid shooting experience and fine photos you expect from a professional model.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

By Russ Juskalian (maclife.com)

When Canon announced the 5D back in 2005, it was a game-changer. The camera was the first full-frame DSLR--meaning that its CMOS sensor is the same size as a frame of 35mm film, about 60 percent larger than the sensors in most DSLRs--in a standard ...

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 capability.

"21mp full frame DSLR w/ 30fps 1080p video!"

By kevitivity (cnet.com)

A superb full frame digital camera for advanc... 

At the time of writing, this is probably the best DSLR in term of image quality. The pro-qulaity video is only icing on the cake

This camera is not a good choice for those who are *hard-core*sports / bird photographers because of it's limited AF. Super high quality, FF, 21mp sensor requires extremely expensive "L" class lenses

"best camera i ever touched"

By balwazeer (cnet.com)

when you hold it you feel like professional.. very good iso up to 1600

anything above 1600 iso will not be very satisfying, and it has average focusing speed(not very fast)
