Canon 5D Mark II

Canon 5D Mark II is almost here. Don’t bother rushing to the stores yet (if you have the money for it), it will only be available this November.

This is a fantastic camera that will replace the already-becoming-old-but-still-great Canon 5D. The most amazing features for the Mark II are:

  • 21.1MP full frame CMOS sensor
  • DIGIC 4 processor
  • ISO range expandable to 25600
  • Full HD (1080, 30fps) movie recording
  • High-res 3.0” VGA LCD with Live View
  • 3.9fps JPEG shooting up to card capacity
  • 9-point AF + 6 Assist AF points
  • Magnesium alloy body

You can check the following video to have a good idea of what to expect from this fantastic camera:

 

Also, I found another very good video article in YouTube regarding not only the 5D MkII but also the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS which will be released together with the 5D MkII.

The PowerShot SX1 is a Super Zoom that will have a huge 20x optical zoom and a 10 megapixels CMOS sensor. Yes, you read it right. It is the first compact to have the Canon CMOS sensor. It will also have the new DIGIC 4 processor and HD resolution video.

Check both out:
