When you consider the price of the EOS-1Ds Mark III, the 5D Mark II seems like quite a bargain.Now we have to wait to see if the 5D Mark II (and the Nikon D90) are the start of the convergence of high end video and still photography cameras. But even if you never shoot video, and consider Live View to be a pointless novelty, the EOS 5D Mark II has an awful lot to recommend it to the serious photographer.

Everything on this body is like you's expect for the class and price, except the autofocus. It has almost the exact same system for AF that the original 5D had, which is to say adequate if you have great habits and are methodical about every shot. BTW, I am talking about shooting weddings with... Read the full review →

This is a professional body at a reasonable price. Image quality is impressive, but everything is not perfect either: AF could definitively be better. Read the full review →

Have never been so happy with a camera before. Moving up to Full Frame is amazing. The look you get in your photos and videos can't compare to a cropped sensor counter part.
