Canon 5D Mark II Officially Awesome: 21MP DSLR First to Shoot Full HD Video

Easily the most anticipated camera in the galaxy, Canon’s 5D Mark II is official, and officially excellent. The full-frame, 21-megapixel DSLR is the first to shoot full HD video, and with Digic 4, Canon is promising low-light performance on par with that of Nikon’s D3 and D700 thanks to improved light gathering and noise reduction, with ISO range 100-6400, extendable up to 12,800 and 25,600. Add to that its high speeds and first-in-class video capabilities, and you can tell this camera was worth the agonising wait.

    Can’t wait to get my hands on this camera. Let’s pray there is no 1D MKIII debacle here. Otherwise this is a solid camera and Fake Chuck Westfall REALLY be shatting his pants and will be really angry which would make my day.

    I love to see sample images get posted to see how the high ISO shots perform.
