Canon EOS 5D Mark II reviewed @ ITreviewed

news · February 23, 2009

Hello,

We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.

Thanks greatly!

"The successor to the enormously popular EOS 5D improves on almost every

aspect that the original was lacking. And by all measures, the EOS 5D Mark

II is priced aggressively - when you consider the price of the EOS 1Ds Mark

III, the 5D Mark II seems like a bargain. The camera is not too heavy, and

we love the fact that Canon has improved its weather resistance and battery

life. However, while having HD video is a nice add-on, it is definitely more

important to have a viewfinder with a 100% coverage, more AF points, a

faster burst mode and a dedicated button for ISO settings (there is plenty

of space!) We didn't particularly care for the Creative Auto mode, and find

it surprising that Canon decided to include such a feature in a camera of

this class. The video feature is a great add-on, but we're not sure it will

be used much by professional photographers. Overall the EOS 5D Mark II has

an awful lot to recommend it to the serious photographer."
