new camera
Back in September Canon announced their newest Digital SLR camera, the Canon 5D Mark II, and I drooled. As of a few days ago, this camera is now mine! I’ve had it in my hand basically non-stop since I got it and it is living up to all my expectations. Ultimately it’s just a tool, but this is a tool that fits me and the shooting I do perfectly. The biggest thing that I’m excited about is the ability to take crisp, clear, colorful shots in previously impossible low-light. The 21 megapixel full-frame sensor is great too, and huge gallery wrap prints will look better than ever.

Nice! Glad to hear you are liking it. Is the low light improvement seriously as drastic as everyone makes it sound?

It really is. In my unscientific analysis, I would say it’s about 2-2.5 stops better than my 40D and XTi. I wouldn’t hesitate to use iso6400, and even iso12800 is usable with a little noise reduction. Love it.

oh man….drool. Hope you are putting it threw it’s paces. I can’t wait for you to post some of those Quicktime movies!
