Canon EOS 5D Mark II – Roadmap to Full Frame & Higher Pixels
by GoldenHammer
Ok, now we finally have the much-anticipated full frame DSLR from Canon, expected as the replacement for 5D, it is not 3D nor 7D but 5D Mark II – this time it packed with a higher pixels sensor, this makes all Canon full frame DSLRs at 21MP. Is that a new trend and association set between "Full Frame" and "Higher Pixels"?
Though 5D Mark II comes with a new 21 MP sensor (similar to the sensor in the EOS-1Ds Mark III), DIGIC 4 and 1080p HD movie recording, many people were disappointed for its lacking of professional features, in particular, a more advanced AF system. Yes, 5D Mark II is rather a "conservative" design, that is actually a refinement/ catch-up revision – Canon intended to preserve the unique market segment, style and conventions already built by 5D.
On the other hand, Canon also quickly sent Sony a message – "New player is not welcome" – 5D Mark II just launched about a week after the announcement of the Sony Alpha 900, it has specifications and price tag set direct competition to the Alpha 900. Apparently, 5D Mark II is a well-marketed product, it avoids sitting in the same zone with the strong competitor like Nikon D700, but running into a higher pixels configuration to defense new challenge from the Sony Alpha 900.
With the release of Canon 5D Mark II, we have more choices, that also becomes clear and easy: If you want full frame higher pixels at 2x MP DSLR extremely suitable for landscape, studio and portrait work, pick a Canon 1Ds Mark III, 5D Mark II or Sony Alpha 900. For sports & dynamic works, the Nikon D3 and D700 will be definitely in your priority list.
