Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR Camera Body
Only
Canon 'defined a new DSLR category' with the EOS 5D. Unlike any previous 'full
frame' sensor camera, the 5D was the first with a compact body (i.e. not having
an integral vertical grip) and has since then proved to be very popular, perhaps
because if you wanted a full frame DSLR to use with your Canon lenses and you
didn't want the chunky EOS-1D style body then the EOS 5D has been your only
choice.
Compact, lightweight with environmental
protection, EOS 5D successor boasts a newly designed Canon CMOS sensor, with ISO
sensitivity up to 25,600 for shooting in near dark conditions. The new DIGIC
4 processor combines with the improved CMOS sensor to deliver medium
format territory image quality at 3.9 frames per second, for up to 310 frames.
Triggered from Live View Mode, HD video capture allows users to shoot
uninterrupted at full 1080 resolution at 30fps, for amazing quality
footage with wonderful levels of detail and realism.
The integration of HD movie capability
into a high-end 21.1-megapixel camera opens a multitude of new possibilities for
photojournalists and news photographers. With its full-frame CMOS sensor and
outstanding ISO performance, the EOS 5D Mark II will appeal to any
photographer in search of the finest camera equipment available; from studio and
wedding to nature and travel photographers.
For the ultimate in creative shooting, the
EOS 5D Mark II features a full frame CMOS sensor (36mm x 24mm). With no
cropping or magnification effects, enjoy a true wide angle experience through
the large, bright viewfinder. Redesigned pixels minimise noise, while a 21.1
Megapixel resolution surpasses the standards demanded by the leading picture
agencies. Canon’s DIGIC 4 works with the EOS 5D Mark II’s image sensor to
deliver excellent reproduction of colours and subtle tonal gradations. DIGIC 4
also deliver split-second start-up times, Face Detection AF in Live View mode,
and additional HD movie recording.
The Canon EOS 5D Mark II incorporates a
high-fidelity (920,000 dot) 3" LCD screen and includes a 'Live View' feature
that permits the user to frame their shots on the LCD display, and adds framing
functions that are not possible with a traditional SLR viewfinder,
including the capability to zoom in and navigate the preview image to ensure
proper focus, and a grid overlay to assist in proper composition. The Live View
focusing system also enables focus modes such as Quick mode, Live mode and Face
Detection Live mode. Furthermore, the Live View Feature enables HD video
recording that can capture true HD-quality (1080p) video at a frame rate of 30
fps with Face Detection and sound.
The magnesium-alloy body of the Canon EOS 5D
Mark II make sure the durability of the camera so users can take it on
safari or to a press junket and be assured that the camera can take it.
Additionally the camera body incorporates extensive dust and weatherproofing
features including seals and gaskets where body panels and/or camera controls
meet. To further keep the imaging sensor free from dust, Canon's EOS Integrated
Cleaning System uses ultrasonic vibrations to shake dust particles off of the
sensor's low-pass filter each time you power up (or manually when needed). This
ensures that your images will be spot free and reduces time needed for image
retouching.
Other professional quality features found on
the Canon EOS 5D Mark II include 14-bit A/D conversion, a bright
viewfinder (with 98% image coverage), Auto Light Optimizer, Lens Peripheral
Illumination Correction, 9-point AF plus 6-point assist AF, 25 Custom Functions
with 71 settings, and 5 metering modes (35-Zone EV, 8% Partial Spot, 3.5% Spot,
Centre-Weighted, and Pre-Flash E-TTL II). Altogether, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II
has been designed to serve the needs and interests of serious enthusiasts as
well as professional photographers who are in pursuit of the perfect image.
