his camera is a
dream come true
for photojournalism.
Who knew it would be
here so fast and would
be so revo-
lutionary?
Video with
my SLR,
I’m in
heaven! My days as a
photojournalist carrying
around audio, video
and stills to create
compelling multimedia
just got easier. The
true ‘one’ tool for visu-
al storytellers is here
and it’s amazing!”

Image Quality Above All
Whether shooting stills or
video with the EOS 5D Mark II,
you press into service the most
advanced Canon technologies, designed to
meet the demands in performance and quality. The full-
frame Canon CMOS sensor, together with the Canon
DIGIC 4 Image Processor, enables low-noise image
recording of unprecedented caliber. The EOS 5D Mark II
also employs precision 14-bit A/D converters to prcess
the output of the imaging sensor. This ensures smooth-
er tonal transitions and more natural gradations. Tonal
precision is further enhanced by the Highlight Tone
Priority feature to preserve greater detail in image high-
light areas. Dynamic range is effectively expanded in this
critical range of exposure, making gradations smoother
and minimizing loss of highlight detail.
The Full-Frame Optical Advantage
EOS Digital SLR cameras with full-frame
sensors let you use EF Lenses exactly as
you would with 35mm film SLR cameras.
Whether you are shooting stills or video with the EOS 5D
Mark II, its full-frame sensor lets you use the entire range
of superb Canon EF lenses without a conversion factor.
You thereby take full advantage of the specific optical
characteristics for which the lenses were designed.
Professional Dependability and Durability
The EOS 5D Mark II body is made of magnesium alloy,
making it exceptionally strong and durable but, sufficiently
light in weight to ensure responsive
handling. The body is also extensively
fitted with seals and gaskets to keep out
moisture and dust. The result is a tough,
dependable camera body that stands up to the
demands of professional use.
Capture Video in
Full HD
With the EOS 5D Mark II,
shooting high-quality
video no longer
requires a separate
piece of equipment. Just
switch to video mode and shoot Full HD 1920 x 1080 or
SD video. Video is captured using the same 24 x 36mm,
full-frame image sensor, ensuring detailed, high-resolu-
tion images. Outstanding video quality is further assured
by MPEG-4 recording at a high data rate, which substan-
tially reduces compression artifacts and provides a
smooth, detailed image. Record sound using the conve-
nient built-in microphone or use the camera’s audio
inputs to capture stereo sound with an external mic.
The brilliant 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor provides
Live View Function capability in still and video shooting
modes. Its 920,000 dots/VGA resolution delivers an
exceptionally detailed view, making it a superb video
monitor for recording and playback. For full-resolution
digital signal transfer to external monitors, projectors
and post-production equipment, the EOS 5D Mark II
includes an HDMI output port.
