After a week or so of teaser ads Canon has finally unveiled the successor to the venerable EOS 5D, the world's first 'compact' full frame digital SLR. The EOS 5D Mark II boasts a new 21MP CMOS sensor, an expanded ISO range of 50-25,600 and a wealth of improvements and new features including full 1080p HD movie recording, live view, 3.0" 920k dot LCD, DIGIC IV processor, increased battery capacity and sensor dust reduction. We've just received a pre-production EOS 5D Mark II and will publish a full hands-on preview later today.
Pricing:
• US: $ 2,699

No photos as of yet, sure there will be some released soon though.
Seems to have gone down 50/50 on the TP forum, some like it, some dont.
The likes - 25k ISO, 21MP sensor, LCD and DIGIC IV processor.
The dislikes - It's only 4FPS, which seems to have caused a bit of a stir.
Some are saying they'd have been better off taking the MP down to around 15-18MP and taking the FPS upto around 5-6FPS.
