Well, at Least This Tiny Canon 5D Mark II USB Flash Drive Can Store HD Vids
Beautiful, beautiful replica flash drive here. It costs $3,500. Kidding! Although with eBay bids starting at $95 for 4GB, it may as well be that expensive. [Zungua]

Canon 5D Mark II Ships Tomorrow
Good news camera fans, two months after launching and exploding our eyes with its delicious full HD video, the 5D Mark II is finally shipping out of Canon's distribution centers to dealers. Tomorrow. Price is supposed to be $2699, but depending on scarcity (the demand is going to be massive), you could pay a bit more. All indications are that it'll be so worth it, though.

Rumor: Nikon Planning 1080p-Capable D400?
Whether it's wishful thinking, educated guessing or true leakage is unclear, but the photo nerds are now abuzz about a Nikon D400 follow-up to the D300 we love so much, which would have D90-like video capability that could potentially rival Canon's 1080p-shootin' EOS 5D Mark II. If that was all gibberish to you, don't think on it a moment further. But if what you just read gave you a feeling down in the nether regions that you'd prefer not to discuss, go check out Photography Bay for the full rumor rundown. [Photography Bay] -

Canon 5D Mark II's Full HD Video Is So Stunning Our Eyes Explode
As teased a couple days ago, here's the absolutely stunning video from Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Vincent Laforet, the one that shows how incredible Canon's 5D Mark II's video capabilities really are. Remember, this video is totally unenhanced, completely raw from the $2700 DSLR (with a ton of nice lenses). I saw it a while ago in full HD on a 50-inch TV and I was completely blown away. Here's the making of vid, if you wanna see how it was done. [Canon] -

A Taste of the Canon 5D Mark II's Mindblowing Full HD Video
Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Vincent Laforet was one of the first people to get his hands on the most coveted camera on the planet, Canon's 5D Mark II. He talked to us a bit about the breakneck stills-and-video shoot he put together in just a few hours to see what this camera can really do. You can catch a glimpse of the incredible results here and why Laforet says that it's the "best camera ever" that will "redefine the industry." Yes, what you're looking at are screencaps of the video from his site. More » -

Canon 5D Mark II Officially Awesome: 21MP DSLR First to Shoot Full HD Video
Easily the most anticipated camera in the galaxy, Canon's 5D Mark II is official, and officially excellent. The full-frame, 21-megapixel DSLR is the first to shoot full HD video, and with Digic 4, Canon is promising low-light performance on par with that of Nikon's D3 and D700 thanks to improved light gathering and noise reduction, with ISO range 100-6400, extendable up to 12,800 and 25,600. Add to that its high speeds and first-in-class video capabilities, and you can tell this camera was worth the agonizing wait.

Canon 5D Mark II Field Guide Listed on Amazon, Points Toward Sept. Photokina Announcement
While this isn't the word of God (or Canon), it's another piece in the pile of evidence that the 5D Mark II is on its way, and soon. Amazon has a listing for the Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Field Guide by Charlotte Lowrie, who's written field guides for a smorgasbord of other Canon cameras. Unfortunately the pub date is listed as November, which points more toward a late September announce at Photokina than the early June date we'd heard before. Either way, sit tight, 'cause it's coming. [Amazon, Thanks Alex!] -
rumor
Canon 5D Mark II Supposedly Surfaces Online, Due in June
A screencap supposedly snagged from Canon's German site spilled some details on Canon's way anticipated 5D Mark II before it slipped back into the ether. June release, and it rocks a 16-megapixel DIGIC III processor that can fire at 6.5FPS. The blurb calls the Mark II "small, light, robust and weatherproof." A bit different than the last batch of rumored specs, and could very possibly be BS, but with the noise steadily growing, we can probably expect something soonish regardless. [Photography Bay] -

Canon 5D Mark II Rumored Specs and Details
The calendar tells us that the 5D, Canon's second best DSLR range, is due for a refresh. It comes from a message board, so take this with a grain of salt, but someone on DP Review forums has posted specs for a second generation 5D with the following changes: A modest 15.3MP up from 12.8MP, and a massive 2 stop bump in light sensitivity to 25600 ISO.

Info Tidbit Could Point to Imminent Release of Canon 5D Mark II
Here's a tiny piece of info that may point to an forthcoming Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR. On a bug report web page for a Capture One software, someone may have slipped, and as you can see, there's a camera listed there on a drop-down list that doesn't officially exist yet. Could this be a hint of things to come? The same thing happened before the Canon 40D was released a few months ago, and now it's real. Rumor has the update to the popular Canon 5D coming as early as sometime this month. Well, we have noticed a couple of price drops on the 5D in the last two months. Discuss. [Photography Bay]
