It’s been a little teasing game between Canon and the rest of the (photographers) world these last days.
The long waited Canon EOS 5D MK II is now officially announced. Against all expectation regarding its sensor, the 5D2 doesn’t “reuse” the 16 MP of the 1Ds MK II but the newly released 21 MP sensor of the flagship 1 Ds MK III.
Instead of a dual DiGIC 3 engines, the 5D2 boats a new DiGIC 4 engine and the ISO range goes from 100 to 6400, boostable to 50-25400. Lined up with the L series lenses, this new “mid range” camera will play in the medium format playground.
I can’t wait to start shooting with one so I already put a pre-order order 🙂
