The 5D Mark II has been a huge camera
for Canon, and not just in terms of sales. The 5D Mark II was the
first DSLR to offer full 1080p HD video capture, and that earned it jobs on TV
and even in films like ‘Captain America.’ It helped significantly in
the advancement of the use of DSLRs for HD video production.
Canon announced the 5D Mark II back in
September of 2008 and it’s been incredibly popular since. Now, a
little over four years later, the company has announced that they’re
discontinuing the camera. For those who’ve wanted one since it’s unveiling, the good news it the price of old stock should drop, making it an affordable option for many.
