The Canon 5D mkII DSLR

A new era begins?

No one can deny that photographic stills and video have been edging ever closer towards each other in the last five years. With the advent of citizen journalism, the growth of Youtube and many other websites, video has become an important partner to stills photography. So perhaps it is no surprise that Canon have taken the bold step of incorporating full HD video capture in their EOS 5D successor. Says Mogens Jensen, head of Canon Consumer Imaging,

“The addition of HD movie recording opens a new chapter for EOS. It creates new possibilities for EOS photographers to capture and share their stories and to stay relevant in a rapidly changing digital landscape.” The new Canon also boasts outstanding ISO performance with its 21.1 Megapixel sensor and producing file sizes up to 4GB, thereby appealing to any photographer in search of a still camera that can also handle the demands of moving image.
