Canon EOS 5D Mark II

DCRP (dcresource) has posted their review of the Canon 5D Mark II [Specs], a "very impressive digital SLR" with 21.1MP resolution using a full-frame (24 x 36mm) CMOS sensor, ISO in the range of 100-6400 (expandable to ISO L:50, H1:12800 and H2:25600) with "smudging in low contrast details, even at the lowest ISOs." The 5D MK II is the first DSLR with full-frame HD video capture at 1920×1080 pixels resolution for up to 4GB per clip, an extra large 3.0-in. high resolution LCD (920,000 dots), Integrated Cleaning System, Live View for stills and video, 3.9fps continuous shooting, 9 AF points plus 6 AF assist points, a new 98% coverage optical viewfinder, and an improved weather-resistant body [though Luminous Landscape contests it].
