Canon EOS 5D Mark II, in-depth analysis

There is no doubt the expression is at last! More than a year of rumors most of them unfounded and almost three since the dawn of the first “hints”, Canon has unveiled this morning the specifics of its most anticipated camera. Its predecessor, the Canon EOS 5D MII that has become an icon for photographers of all the world for their pictures and videos, it was the first SLR with which you could record a movie … And looked good.

The pressure for the Japanese brand had to be large, to find a way to improve the most desired camera in the world features, and had to be quite overwhelming, that have taken over three years to prepare. The result has been a huge camera, as was his predecessor, but no major surprises. Canon has built one of the best cameras ever been made??, but has not left us open-mouthed.

Next we will discuss in depth the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II

The Good
