The Canon EOS 5D MKII with 24-105mm lens is a wonderful digital SLR. The new Canon 5D Mark II SLR camera is discreet enough to avoid attention, with resolution enough to keep the toughest picture editors happy.

The Canon EOS 5D MKII with 24-105mm lens offers advanced photographers a lightweight, robust digital SLR that uses superlative EF lenses without a conversion factor. The new Canon 5D Mark II camera features full-frame 21.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor that combines with DIGIC 4 Image Processor and a high-precision 9-point AF system with 6 assist points.

With its wide-angle capabilities, 2.5 inch LCD and magnesium-alloy body, the camera is the perfect addition to the Digital EOS line. Features: 21.1 Megapixel full-frame CMOS Sensor DIGIC II Image Processor for outstanding image quality and performance - 3.9 fps for up to 78 consecutive JPEG or 17 RAW frames in a burst. Large 3" LCD screen of the camera can be viewed even at extreme angles up to 170deg. Canon's "Picture Style" function for superior command of in-camera color, contrast and sharpness. High-precision 9-point AF with 6 additional Supplemental points surrounding the center point for superior focus tracking. Strong and light magnesium-alloy body of the new SLR Canon camera with a shutter durability-tested to 150,000 exposures. The Canon EOS 5D Mark II camera is compatible with over 50 Canon EF lenses and most EOS System accessories.

The camera can shoot a 78 large JPEG image burst at 3.9 fps.

With the help of the EOS 5D JPEG and RAW images can be written simultaneously.

The Canon 5D MarkII is compatible with over 60 EF lenses (excl. EF-S) and all EX Series Speedlite flash units. Untethered shooting is available with the optional WFT-E1 Wireless File Transmitter. USB 2.0 Hi-Speed permits fast file uploads, while Video Out allows review on a regular TV. An optional magnesium alloy battery grip extends shooting time and offers comfortable portrait shooting with a vertical shutter release. A Precision Matte focusing screen of the EOS 5D MK II is interchangeable with Grid and Easy Manual Focus screen options. 

The new camera is the first DSLR to incorporate full HD 1920x1080 video capture. Once filming is started from Live View mode, photographers can fire off either single of continuous stills, with video capture continuing after the final frame is captured.

A new 3.0” VGA resolution LCD provides a wide 170º angle-of-view, providing plenty of clarity for accurate focus checks in playback. The screen brightness can automatically adjust to suit viewing conditions, extending battery life in low light and improving viewing in bright conditions. A new dedicated Live View button switches modes to display a real-time image on the LCD. This allows Canon 5D Mark II photographers to enjoy simplified shooting from awkward angles. Simple connection to a PC provides easy remote shooting.

The Canon 5D Mark II’s newly designed full frame 21.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor features ISO sensitivity from 100-6400, expandable to 50, 12,800 and 25,600. Large 6.4 Megapixels have been redesigned to capture more light and yield a better signal to noise ratio to ensure lower noise images throughout the ISO range. The full frame sensor has the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film. This means that wide-angle lenses stay wide, without the change in angle of view associated with smaller sensor cameras. As well as benefiting from finer control over depth of field, photographers moving up to the Canon 5D Mark II camera's full frame format will find the newly designed wide, bright 98% coverage viewfinder on a joy to work with.

CMOS technology is one of the company’s key competitive advantages, with noise reduction circuitry at each pixel site delivering virtually noise-free images. In comparison with CCD technology, the lower power consumption characteristics of Canon’s CMOS sensors also contribute to longer battery life.

Signal conversion in Canon’s CMOS sensors is handled by individual amplifiers at each pixel site. Unnecessary charge transfer operations are avoided, vastly speeding up the process of getting signal to the image processor. Noise generation is reduced, power consumption is limited and faster frame rate potential is increased.

A new DIGIC processor combined with 14-bit analogue to digital conversion provides smooth gradations in mono-tonal areas such as skies, and highly accurate colour rendition. As well as HD movie shooting, DIGIC’s high speed provides for long uninterrupted continuous bursts of large JPEGs, near-instant start-up times and immediate and fast review after shooting. DIGIC 4 also provides for improved noise reduction algorithms, complementing the already low noise images from the new camera's CMOS sensor.

Image data captured by the CMOS sensor is processed by Canon’s purpose-built DIGIC image processors before being written to the camera's memory card. DIGIC technology uses advanced image processing algorithms to ensure precise, natural colours, accurate white balance, and advanced noise reduction. Ultra-fast processing speeds result in highly responsive camera operation and near-instant start-up times.

DIGIC chips work with a high speed DDR-SD RAM image buffer – reading, processing, compressing and writing image data fast enough to keep the buffer clear during long continuous shooting bursts. And because DIGIC integrates all key processing functions, power consumption is kept to a minimum.

The latest version of EOS Utility provides essential support for Live View remote shooting, camera configuration and image transfers. Tightly integrated with Digital Photo Professional, EOS Utility can be configured to monitor ‘hot’ folders, automatically renaming and moving incoming images to a structured file system. Users can also tag their images with EXIF data, including copyright information.

A 9-point auto focus system is supported by 6 additional invisible Assist AF points, located inside the spot-metering circle to optimise subject tracking performance in AI SERVO AF mode. For accurate exposure readings in tricky lighting conditions, the spot metering circle covers just 3.5% of the frame.

The EOS Mark II’s redesigned menu system includes a new Quick Control screen, for instant access to the most commonly changed settings. A new Creative Auto mode allows photographers to cede control of key settings to the Canon 5D MarkII camera, while retaining control over creative variables such background blur, drive mode and image brightness. Custom user settings allow photographers to switch between two completely different camera setups. This is ideal for changing quickly between two different environments, such as switching from working inside a church without flash to outdoors with fill-flash at a wedding.

Shooting flexibility is enhanced with a range of new accessories. Shooting capacity can be extended with either the high capacity 1800mAh lithium-ion Battery Pack LP-E6, or Battery Grip BG-E6.

A new optional Wireless File Transmitter – the WFT-E4 – offers external HDD and GPS compatibility along with ability to transmit images direct to computer or FTP server, or operate the camera wirelessly. Both the BG-E6 and WFT-E4  feature a vertical orientation shutter release and other key controls for comfortable portraiture work, with a substantial grip to help balance the new camera when used with long lenses.
