Canon EOS 5D - MKII ?

Posted by: Jay Garrett in Camera Kit

EOS 5D MKIII spotted whispers on Northlight-Images site that Canon’s EOS 5D DSLR is about to get an update.

There are also specs posted on DP Review forums for a second generation 5D with the following changes:

A gain to 15.3MP up from 12.8MP, a 2 stop hike in light sensitivity to 25600 ISO.

The new snapper will also supposedly shoot at 6fps instead of 3 and will have dual Digic III processors instead of a single Digic II cpu.

The AF system will use 29 points instead of 9 and it will share the same weather sealing as the topline 1Ds Mark III, as well as live view.

Lets see if this turns into a reality.

The present 5D retails at £1,860 - Canon 5D

    25600 ISO speed? That’s seems to be impossible…

    I do wish that the 5D mk2 will be launched sooner so that the price of the 5D will drop and I can afford one!
