I really debated long and hard about purchasing something this expensive. I'm not a professional photographer, but I do sell travel photographs on the side. My subjects are usually stationary - antiquities from Rome and Greece. I was most worried about buying this camera and discovering that it... Read full review »

Canon EOS 5D Mark II: The perfect balance?

Pros Resolution, IQ, ergonomics, High ISO, HD video, lens fine tune, battery, quiet, UDMA
Cons only 3.9fps, 9-point AF system, no integrated flash, "expensive"
