Actual Canon EOS 5D Mark II Specs and Features?
For the past two years I have been shooting landscapes almost exclusively with the Canon EOS 5D. Like many outdoor photographers, it has been just about the perfect camera for the purpose with its compact body, 12.7 megapixel resolution, full frame sensor and great color and clarity. However, in the past several months, watching Canon bring great new technology to the 1D Mark III, 1Ds Mark III and the 40D, I have been anticipating the next generation 5D. I even wrote an article a while back in which I listed the features I hoped to see in the successor to the 5D. Rumors of a 5D Mark II began circulating on the web as far back as last October. Now someone has posted information on the DP Review forums with specs, release dates and pricing for the 5D Mark II and the news is spreading to other sources. While the information sounds legit, the author wasn’t willing to reveal his source, so the report might be entirely false. According to the post, Canon will announce the new camera on April 22, so we’ll find out the truth soon enough.
