In my local Digital Photo magazine they recently had a review of the new Canon DSLR, Canon EOS 5D Mark II, which they called the world's best digital camera below $20.000. Not a bad verdict, and it even includes video in full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). According to the magazine the only camera that beats the EOS 5D Mark II is the Hasselblad H3DII-39 with 39 mio. pixels, weighing 5 pounds at the price of $27.000.
Some of the highlights of the camera are: It is the first professionally oriented DSLR with an autofocus with face recognition. ISO goes as high as 25.600! It is the first Canon DSLR that can record video.
In the review they compare it to the Nikon D700 and there are just a few points where they find the Nikon to have an advantage. The Mark II has an amazing picture quality, impressive auto focus, and apparently all the flaws of the EOS 5D from 2005 have been corrected in the Mark II.
Some Specs.:
ISO: 50-25.600
Weight: 892 grams
Pixels: 21.1 MP
Frames per second: 3.9
Screen: 3 inches LCD
I think this is a bit out of my league at the moment, but in the future I will definitely be looking into this camera (or at least the series). For anyone that might be interested, go check it out.
If You have any experience with this camera, please leave a comment.
