combines outstanding resolution with up to 3.9 fps shooting and superlative
high ISO performance. The addition of Full HD movie recording expands the
boundaries of photography.
Features
- 21.1MP full frame CMOS sensor
- DIGIC 4 processor
- ISO range expandable to 25600
- Full HD (1080, 30fps) movie
recording
- High-res 3.0” VGA LCD with Live

- Up to 3.9fps JPEG shooting up
to card capacity
- 9-point AF + 6 Assist AF points
- Magnesium alloy body
21.1 Megapixel full frame CMOS sensor
For the ultimate in creative shooting, the EOS 5D Mark II features a full frame
CMOS sensor (36mm x 24mm). With no cropping or magnification effects, enjoy a
true wide angle experience through the large, bright viewfinder. Redesigned
pixels minimise noise, while a 21.1 Megapixel resolution surpasses the
standards demanded by the leading picture agencies.
DIGIC 4
Canon’s DIGIC 4 works with the EOS 5D Mark II’s image sensor to deliver
outstanding reproduction of colours and subtle tonal gradations. DIGIC 4 also
delivers split-second start-up times, Face Detection AF in Live View mode, and
additional HD movie recording.
High ISO
For handheld shooting in low light, the EOS 5D Mark II offers ISO speeds of up
to 6400. For dark scenes where using flash is undesirable, this can be expanded
to an incredible ISO 25600.
Full HD movie recording
The EOS 5D Mark II complements outstanding still imaging capabilities with Full
HD (1080) video recording. Users can even shoot video to memory card without
losing the ability to capture still images. An HDMI connection allows High
Definition playback of footage and images on an HDTV.
3.0” High Resolution LCD
The 3.0” Clear View LCD features 920,000 dot resolution, wide viewing angle and
dual anti-reflective coatings – allowing ultra-detailed image review in a
variety of conditions. Live View displays real-time images on the LCD, offering
three types of auto focus: Quick AF, Live AF, and Face Detection Live AF, which
locks onto faces detected in the frame.
Up to 3.9 frames per second
The EOS 5D Mark II offers continuous shooting at up to 3.9 frames per second.
When shooting JPEGs to a UDMA card, maximum burst is limited only by card
capacity.
9-point AF + 6 Assist AF points
Precision auto focus is assured by Canon’s AF system, which employs 9
selectable points and 6 Assist AF points.
EOS Integrated Cleaning System
Canon’s built-in dust prevention system offers three ways of guarding images
against the effects of dust: reduction of internal dust generation; an
in-camera sensor cleaning mechanism; and the ability to map stubborn dust spots
for removal with Digital Photo Professional software (included).
Durable, compact design
With a magnesium alloy construction, environmental protection and shutter
durability of 150,000 releases, the EOS 5D Mark II is equally suited to
location or studio work.
