The first thing you notice about Canon 5D Mark II: Basic Controls is the price. At £14.99, it's not an inexpensive purchase. The next thing you notice is that, at 214MB, it's not a quick download, either. This is due to the amount of video, as this isn...

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...
