Meet Mark2
Published Thursday, December 25, 2008 by flipartimages inMerry Christmas to everyone and Happy Holidays! Meet Mark2, We finally got a hold of the all new canon 5DMKII. After days of checking if it was in stock, we landed a jackpot on dec 23 with free next day air. It got here right before Christmas, it's the best christmas gift ever..hahaha
This baby has to be one of the best cams i've held, no offense to my other buddies in flipart who shoot Nikon. Roy and Alan shoot Nikon and i've been trying to make them switch over to the Canon world with me and marq but they like their nikon. Sooner or later they will switch, hehehe.
Anyways back to the 5dmk2. This cam really does it for me, full frame at 21.1 mp stunning image quality and not to mention the 1080p video mode. I didn't really care for the video mode but I must admit it is very interesting and has lots of potential. The 3inch high res screen is just awesome big difference from my 1dmk3 and at iso 3200 the camera handles it just fine. You can shoot iso1600-3200 all day and not be worried. The down side is shooting at 3.9fps and coming from 10fps on the 1dmk3 it's a big difference but I must admit I never did use the 10fps on my line of work it was more of a show thing. 3.9fps for weddings and portraits should be more than enough although hearing an m16 fire away is just awesome. The camera build has far improved from its older version with better weather seal and the right grip is just like my 1dmk3 without the battery pack. Ergonomics is still at its best, the cam fits right into my hands with all the buttons within perfect reach. All in all a great camera and a great addition to our gear and our journey into the photography world. If you're looking for a cam, this is it!
