Amateur Astronomer Captures Stunning Images of Atlantis, Hubble in the Face of the Sun
It's difficult to imagine a more epic scene, but this photo has modest origins: amateur Astronomer Thierry Legault shot it with nothing but his own telescope, a solar prism and a Canon 5D Mk II. More »

It's Official: The Canon 5D Mk II Will Turn Us All Into Professional Cinematographers
Yeah, sure, it was cool to see a professional photographer spin HD video gold from the Canon 5D Mark II. But that guy is famous, had a mountain of equipment, a crew, and a freaking helicopter. Not so for the humble photographer and videographer at Akihabara News, who took the 5D, a few days and a laptop to shoot and splice together this stunningly beautiful five minute video. More » -

Canon EOS 5D Mark II to Track Multiple Batteries
We thought that we already knew just how glorious that Canon's $2,699 EOS 5D Mark II would be, but the camera has one trick up its sleeve that's more practical than another megapixel boost, or maybe even its ability to capture 1080p HD video. Seriously. The camera can keep track of up to six batteries in its internal database, managing which of them still have juice. More » -

Redrock's Cinematizing Kit to Turn Video DSLRs Into Proper Movie Cams
Sure, the Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D90's HD video capability is pretty amazing, but since the camera chassis and lenses are a typical DSLR shape, they lack many things in terms of utility for serious movie-makers. And that's where Redrock's "cinematizing" kit comes in. More »

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 » -

Hands-On: Canon EOS 5D Mark II
We got our hands on Canon's brand-new full-HD shooting 5D Mk II monster tonight, and well, yeah, we want it just as much as we did last night—even though Canon wouldn't let us pop our own CF cards in for some test shots and vids. We're not mad though—we ran through live view, video mode autofocus and everything else you can do with an SLR with no CF (ie: grope, grope, grope). Let's look. More »

Homebrew DS-DSLR Uses Nintendo DS as a Canon EOS Remote
Really nice piece of DS homebrew here: when photographer Steve was searching for a less bulky alternative to tethering his Canon 5D to his laptop for remote functions during shoots, he didn't have to look further than his DS Lite, which he was always packing anyway. With a custom cable that connects through the GBA cartridge slot, Steve used the Canon SDK to write a powerful remote app that does everything his laptop could—saving bulk, time, and money. And it's got some tricks even the laptop couldn't pull off. 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's Moonlit Teaser Advert Hints at EOS 5D Mark II in Highlights
Moody, very moody, and quite serious: that's how I'd label the new teaser from Canon that gives the merest hints of an upcoming "serious" EOS camera. Have a look at that bulky shoulder and the smooth curve over the pentaprism mount—classic high-end EOS right there: the apparent lack of pop-up flash is the give-away. Clearly it's time for Canon to draw attention away from Nikon with its swanky new D90, but what's it got ready for us under the "destined evolution" banner? Best guess so far is a 5D upgrade, but over to you in the comments, EOS fans. [Canon]

Unconfirmed: More Canon EOS 5D Mark II Specs Leak, Lookin' Good
We can say with pretty high confidence that a 5D successor, the 5D Mk II, will be hitting before '08 is out, and with Photokina coming up later this month, rumors are beginning to fly. Canon Rumors is vouching for their source that just dropped them the following tasty-looking specs on the new full-frame sensor, top-end Canon EOS DSLR: 21.1 MP, DIGIC IV, and an HD movie mode (like the D90's), among others.

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!] -

Canon Giving Instant Rebates Up to $300 on DSLRs, Lenses
From Sunday, May 18 to Saturday, July 19, Canon tells us it will give customers instant rebates—that is, the good kind, not that mail-in crap—on higher-end DSLRs and lenses. We're talking up to $125 off some serious glass, plus $200 off the EOS 40D and $300 off of the EOS 5D. (Maybe they're making room for its successor?) Check out the full lineup of rebates below.

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.

A Word About the Canon EOS 5D Successor
Interesting bit just tossed our way by the Canon rep when we asked about a 5D follow-up, slightly paraphrased: The EOS-1Ds line (their full-frame pro DSLRs) is on a three-year upgrade cycle. The 1Ds Mark II came out in 2004, and the Mark III dropped in 2007. The EOS 5D came out in 2005. More » -

Amazon is having a rebate fiesta with Canon gear. A wide variety of Canon lenses have rebates as low as $10 all the way up to $100 (if you buy multiple). They are also clearing out some high-end DSLR cameras. The 5D now has a $300 mail-in-rebate and the 30D has a $100 mail-in-rebate with double rebates if you buy more Canon stuff (like lenses with the cameras).

Canon 5D - 13-megapixels of Power (?)
Canon has some of the most unique styling in the camera world. Their bodies are as spare and elegant as an Leica or old-time Nikon so it's kind of hard to tell the different models apart unless you're a rabid digicam fan. Therefore, we bring you the new boss, same as the old boss: The Canon 5D which is purported to take 3 shots per second at 13-megapixels (!! I'm thinking that means 12 in real world terms) along with 9 auto-focus points. More »
