View score

The good: Full HD-video recording; impressive image quality even at high ISO; solid feel from camera body; clever technology used in battery.

The bad: No HDMI cable supplied; zooming in on images in playback mode needs to be faster; position of power switch.

The bottom line: The EOS 5D Mark II is a very good camera for enthusiasts who are looking for a full-frame option, and has all the bells and whistles which makes this shooter not only a decent still image shooter, but also an industry grade video camera, too, as long as you have proper equipment.

Almost perfect



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Fantastic pictures and video
Cons: Absent pop up flash
Opinion:
I was hesitant at first, wondering if I was spending too much money. Well, it turned out to be a fabulour camera. Pictures were detailed and accurate and the video is amazing. Pictures were better than the Nikon D90, though it is not a fair comparison. I would have given it a 10 if only Canon had included a pop up flash (I know it is a pro camera and this will do it injustice but it would be nice to have in an emergency) and a proper software for editing the HD footage

 

suitable for Hobbyists

It appears to be the best except in price;more particulars such as zooming capacity, memory..etc. not available;But for amateurs this may be the best one.
