Well, after all that waiting for Canon to update its cheapest digital single lens reflex camera with a “full frame” sensor, the new model was finally announced today. The EOS 5D Mark II, announced today, retains the full frame sensor of the 2005 model and gets a host of amazing, 2008-y upgrades like the ability to record high definition video, a new version of Canon’s Digic processor (the computer brain’s of the camera), faster burst mode, an HDMI connector to link directly to a high-def television set and a wifi option. The bottom line? $2,700 without a lens, to be available starting in November. I guess I know what I want for Christmas…Digital Photo Review already has a comprehensive preview up.
