Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLR camera shoots pro stills, 1080p video

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Canon just rolled out a monster DSLR camera – the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Yes, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II is not going to be cheap when it's available in November ($2700 for the body, lenses extra), but for that wad of cash the Canon EOS 5D Mark II brings along a professional feature set that's never been seen before. Besides Canon EOS 5D Mark II hot shooting capabilities, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II is the first digital SLR to let you shoot 1080p video at 30 frames per second, and like this the Canon EOS 5D Mark II is nearly matching the crispy-clean picture quality of Blu-ray discs, and so the Canon EOS 5D Mark II is slam-dunking the Nikon D90 DSLR's measly 720p HD video shooting.

The Canon EOS 5D Mark II associated numbers are astonishing. The Canon EOS 5D Mark II has a 21.1-megapixel low-noise sensor, and low-light performance that lets you shoot in near-darkness with a 6400 native ISO. The Canon EOS 5D Mark II beats the Nikon D300, D3 and D700's super-clean 3200 ISO capability that's already impressing for low-light shooting situations. Of course, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II has Live View, letting you use the Canon EOS 5D Mark II 3-inch viewscreen to frame up your shots, and the pros will especially like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II huge, full-frame sensor.
