Canon 5D Mark II IS HERE!
2008-09-17
The Canon 5D Mark II is finally here with a friend the Canon 24mm 1.4 L. This one is going tyo be hard to resist but what I find interesting is looking back on all the rumors which strongly believed it would have weather seling, so much for that but hey it was pure speculation.
- New 21.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor with improved EOS Integrated Cleaning System (E.I.C.S.)
- New Full HD 1080 resolution movie recording
- 3.9 frames per second continuous shooting
- High performance DIGIC 4 providing superb image quality
- Maximum 310 large JPEG images in a single burst with a UDMA card
- 3.0†VGA (920k dots) Clear View LCD
- ISO 100-6400 (expansion from 50 up to 25,600)
- 9 AF points + 6 Assist AF points
YIKES
I wonder if a 3D will appear as well. Probably not now. 1D/1Ds MkIV? I guess that will be the next one on the rumor mill
It certainly looks very good on paper, but I’m not sure if the HD video support is needed on a still camera…
