Canons EOS 5D Mark II is a digital SLR camera thats designed primarily for serious enthusiasts, yet it also has plenty to entice new D-SLR users. Its a cut above mid-range D-SLR digital cameras, so its expensive, but you do get a lot for your money. It has a 21-megapixel CMOS sensor thats 35x24mm. This is a full-frame sensor, and it is bigger than the sensors in mid-range D-SLRs such as the Canon EOS 50D (which has a 22.3x14.9mm 15-megapixel sensor). It is the same size as the sensor in th...

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 capabilit...
