New Canon D5 Mark 2

Loose thoughts by Bjorn Landfeldt

Digital SLRs are becoming soooo good. We just read about the new Nikon D90 and the new Canon EOS 50D. Now the mysterious new silhouette on the Canon US web site has been unveiled, the 5D mkII.



DPreview has a pre-release review and major points are:

21 Mpixel full-frame sensor
ISO 50 - 25600 expansion (who needs light)
The new DIGIC 4 processor
Slowish 3.9 fps continuous shooting (after all 21 Mpixel)
vignetting correction
Live view with three mode auto-focus (including face detection)
No mirror-flip for exposures in Live View if contrast detect AF selected
Movie recording in live view (1080p H.264 up to 12 minutes, VGA H.264 up to 24 mins per clip)

What will it cost?

List price is US$2700, nothing really.
