After all the "leaks" and hype, the long-awaited Canon EOS 5D Mark II is finally official. Here are the highlights:
- 21-megapixel full-frame sensor
- 1,920x1,080-pixel video at 30fps
- Maximum ISO 25600
- Digic 4 image processor
- 3.9fps burst unlimited JPEG/14 raw with UDMA card
- 15-point AF
- 920,000-dot 3-inch LCD
- Live View
I'll post a more meaningful analysis and comparison later today. The EOS 5D Mark II is slated to ship in November for a body-only price of $2,699 or in a kit with the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens for $3,499.
Senior Editor Lori Grunin has been covering digital imaging for two decades, but her memory's kind of sketchy on the details. You can hear about it every week on Indecent Exposure, the podcast she co-hosts with Matt Fitzgerald.
