Pros:
Excellent still image and video quality. Solid design and great interface. Accommodates Canon’s best glass, in addition to a variety of other accessories. |
 |
Cons:
Records to CF cards, which are slowly becoming extinct. Not terribly feature-rich. 21-megapixel RAW images eat memory like it's their Birthday. |

| Conclusion: |
 |
| There aren't many DSLRs that can compete with the Canon Eos 5D Mark II. This 21-megapixel professional DSLR has burrowed itself into a rather unconventional hole within the pegboard of the advanced DSLR market, courtesy not only of exceptional still image quality, but dynamite 1080p HD video quality. We loved the Canon Eos 5D Mark II's rock solid build and compatibility with the entire Canon EF lens library. Menus were easy to navigate through thanks to an excellent interface, though the camera was not packed to the brim with features. The Canon Eos 5D Mark II is an imaging powerplant, especially when combined with high quality glass—that's its place in the world. If you're a professional photographer looking for a model that won't significantly break the bank the way an Eos 1D or Nikon D3 will, then the Full-frame Canon Eos 5D Mark II is the answer. In terms of versatility, the Canon Eos 5D Mark II cannot be beat. |
