What started as rumor has now finally come true, as Canon introduced its latest professional DSLR camera model, the EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR camera. It might have taken Canon three years to update its highly popular EOS 5D released sometime in 2005, but it looks like the three long years of wait may be well worth it. Improving on its predecessor’s features, the 5D Mark II features a full-frame CMOS sensor coupled with HD video capture. This may not be the DSLR industry’s first camera to have this feature since Nikon has introduced it with their recently announced D90 DSLR, but it is certainly the first Canon DSLR camera to have it.

Aside from the HD video capture, the EOS 5D Mark II is packed with great features and functionality that would certainly please professional camera users. These include; a 21.1 megapixel full frame 24 x 36mm CMOS sensor, DIGIC 4 imaging processor and an ISO sensitivity range of 50 to a whopping 25,600. In addition, the 5D Mark II also has a 3.9 fps continuous shooting capability, 15-point Autofocus with nine selectable AF points, a 3-inch clear view LCD, optical viewfinder with 98 percent coverage and a 150,000-cycle shutter durability.
