The EOS 5D Mark II camera breaks new ground for a full-frame DSLR. It shar es 80% of it s features with the EOS 5D , and 10% with the flagship Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III (including a F ull-frame 21.1-megapixel sensor and bright, full coverage optical viewfinder). However , the EOS 5D Mark II’ s 21.1-megapixel sensor is unique and offers an exciting f[...]

Both EOS cameras offer Q uick and Live AF modes that work in Live Vie w mode, including a Face Detection AF mode that optimizes exposure and focus for a selected face.

The EOS 5D Mark II’ s Full High Definition (HD) video recording and playback functionality is creating a paradigm shift in the way still photographers and videographers approach their craft. In the past, one c amera or camcorder couldn ’ t do it all, so advanced and professional photographers rarely thought outside of the still-picture box—an[...]

to the fully z oomed-in focal length on most camcorders. And few video c ameras in existence can match the narrow depth of field of Canon ’ s EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM lens used by many top-end portrait shooters. Because of these unique video recording traits and the versatility provided by Canon ’ s EF lens system, the EOS 5D Mark II should be as [...]

Positioning In order to view 100% of the scene while recording in 16:9 ratio HD or 4:3 ratio SD, the camera automaticall y adjusts the LCD display to the proper aspect ratio with unused portions of the normal 3:2 aspect ratio still image area partial ly grayed out. The display c an also be set to include exposure and time remaining indicators, as w[...]

Photojour nalists: The market for high-resolution video news footage and for expanded web video coverage of news events c an increase the commer cial possibilities for traditional still ph otographers at news or spor ting events.

20 IV . PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILIT Y[...]

EOS 5D Mark II’ s new 21.1-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor: The advanced single-plate CMOS sensor in the EOS 5D Mark II achieves the highest performance of any sensor in the Canon DSLR lineup. It shares many traits with the CMOS sensor found in the flagship EOS-1Ds Mark III, including its 36mm x 24mm (35mm format) siz e, approximately 21.1 effec[...]

advances and technolog y improvements to the sensor , plus countermeasur es that help suppress noise from other camera circuits, are responsible for the sensor’ s high signal to noise ratio , enabling higher ISO speeds and improved dynamic range at low ISOs. Those ar e im pressive sensor improvements, considering that the original EOS 5D had larg[...]
