I know it’s a little late, but I’m going to try and summarise what’s new in the Canon EOS 5D Mark II in less than 100 words:

What is it?

A full-frame digital SLR for semi-professionals or ameteurs with a high budget.

Pros:

• Now has 21.1 megapixels (more than anyone would need — but it would cool to say “I have 21 megapixels”)
• Live View, for when a viewfinder just isn’t practical
• DIGIC 4, Canon’s fastest and newest processor
• ISO 25,600 — so you can take photos in pure darkness
• 1080p high-definition video capture, replacing your video camera (or not, see below)

Cons:

• It costs $2699 — and that’s without a lens
• Only supports EF lenses (no surprise there)
• Video is limited to 4GB or 30 minutes

Only 136 words, not bad. Can you think of anything great or bad about Canon’s latest SLR?
