Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens
Today I did receive my brand new camera from Amazon.com. It is just so amazing camera. I did purchase it along with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Lens. Photos are just amazing. I am just playing with it for now, so it will be lots of experimenting as of now. Sadly I will not be able to use lens from my old Rebel XT. 
Oh well what can I say. This is certainly full frame camera, much more advanced than Rebel, so lenses are much more advanced as well. Will need to sell it on ebay.com I guess.
Compact, lightweight with environmental protection, EOS 5D successor boasts a newly designed Canon CMOS sensor, with ISO sensitivity up to 25,600 for shooting in near dark conditions. The new DIGIC 4 processor combines with the improved CMOS sensor to deliver medium format territory image quality at 3.9 frames per second, for up to 310 frames. Triggered from Live View Mode, HD video capture allows users to shoot uninterrupted at full 1080 resolution at 30fps — for amazing quality footage with outstanding levels of detail and realism. The integration of HD movie capability into a high-end 21.1-megapixel camera opens a multitude of new possibilities for photojournalists and news photographers. With its full-frame CMOS sensor and outstanding ISO performance, the EOS 5D Mark II will appeal to any photographer in search of the finest camera equipment available — from studio and wedding to nature and travel photographers. Other improvements to the EOS 5D include: (more…)
Love at first sight
I became adicted to photography with my 40D and after a year or so I started to see it’s limitations.
Good camera but consider alternatives
If you are heavily invested in Canon and own lots of their lenses, then your decision will be whether to buy the Canon 5D 1, or the new Canon 5D 2.

My Camera hangs when trying to transfer the pictures
Hi,
I love the pictures this produces but the transfer hangs when connecting the cmaera to the computer.
A Star that fizzled
I enjoy this camera as a still photography camera, but this is not only still photography camera and few who would purchase this camera would regard it as such.
Happy upgrade from 40d
I do own other p&s cameras besides Canon but admit to only owning Canon DSLRs; I’m kind of tied into the Canon lenses at this point.
lacking critical features, robustness
Great stills quality. Good ISO (but not excellent like the D700 or D3)
HD video mode sounds enticing but is practically unusable for pros/artists who demand precise control…
Beware the 5D MARK II and lense are up to snuff
My D5 Mark II with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM had a focusing problem in Auto and manual modes
I thought maybe I was missing a setting or something, but after many…
back focusing problem
I sold my Canon 1d Mark II on ebay and bought this one. Took various test shots and noticed that some shots were a bit out of focus.
Magnifique!
What else can I say about this camera that hasn’t already been said here and in the hundreds of online and magazine reviews. Simply put, “It Rocks”.
