Superb cam! Especially the 1080p full HD recording amazes me. And apparently I'm not the only one, because a guy named Vincent Laforet, who is a renowed photographer and Pulitzer Prize winner is lyrical about this camera. To show the 5D Mk2's possibilities he made a short film with a prototype version of this camera which he only had access to for 72 hours. He said this camera has the potential to change the photography industry as we know it.

Check out the video here. Remember everything was shot using only the 5D Mk2 and Canon lenses.

What he had to say about the camera:
1. The 5D MKII camera produces the best stills in low light that I’ve ever seen - what you can see with you eye in the worst light (such as sodium-vapor street lights at 3 a.m. in Brooklyn) - this camera can capture it with ease.
2. It produces the best video in low light that I’ve ever seen - at 1080p. A top commercial film editor who regularly edits RED camera footage - and has seen the raw footage from the 5D MKII - says the 5D MKII is “far superior to the RED camera” in terms of low light performance…
3. You can use your prime and zoom lenses from your Canon still cameras with it - and shoot wide open… so you can shoot films with fisheye lenses, 50mm 1.2 as well as the 200mm f2 or 400mm 2.8 that you may already own…
4. This camera is so easy to use - that you can work incredibly quickly, mostly handheld - without a huge production - and using natural light - ergo you don’t need a huge budget and tons of preparation anymore… forget the lighting trucks and generators that take up entire city blocks…
5. This camera will sell for approx. $2,700 - and perform better than many $100K plus video cameras out there…
6. Photojournalists in particular - will be able to take full advantage of this camera’s strengths - because they are used to walking into any room, and finding the best natural “available light” in the room - or knowing how to add a single light source to make it pop… they are used to working quickly and with small or no budgets… which is something this camera is begging you to do…

Now just imagine what the possibilities will be in just a few years when this technology has advanced further and is also available on lower budget DSLRs...
