Canon Model 9313A002AB
(9)
Features : 8.2-megapixel CMOS sensor--3:2 aspect ratio the same as in 35mm camerasCompatible with Canon professional EF lenses (except the EF-S line)Continuous shooting 8.5 frames per second at full resolution; rugged, weather-resistant magnesium alloySupports both CompactFlash Type I and II and Secure Digital (SD) memory cardsPowered by rechargeable NiMH battery pack; connects to PCs and Macs via FireWire and USB 1.1
Specification : Canon's EOS-1D Mark II (successor to the original EOS-1D) is the ultimate professional digital SLR. Nearly doubling its predecessor's resolution to 8.2 megapixels, it also offers an improved shooting buffer for continuous shooting 8.5 frames per second at full resolution--making it the world's fastest digital SLR (as of January, 2004). It also features a faster DIGIC II imaging engine, a rugged yet lightweight weather-resistant magnesium alloy construction, capability for custom and personal presets, and dual storage slots for CompactFlash and Secure Digital cards. Optics and Resolution
Canon's newly developed single-plate CMOS sensor with 8-channel reading technology delivers exceptional image quality, with approximately 8.2 million effective pixels (8.5 million total pixels) and a generous 28.7 x 19.1mm image size. The sensor's 3:2 aspect ratio is the same as in 35mm cameras, and the sensor's large size realizes an effective angle of view that's just 1.3 times the focal length indicated on Canon EF lenses. It features 3504 x 2336, 3104 x 2072, 2544 x 1696, and 1728 x 1152 pixel resolution settings.
A new on-chip noise elimination circuit eradicates fixed pattern and random noise. A low-pass filter placed in front of the sensor reduces false color and moire effects, while the infrared filter suppresses red fringing caused by sensor reflections and fog.
RAW processing
New Digital Photo Professional image processing software is provided for high-speed processing of lossless RAW files. It enables real-time display and immediate application of adjustments to images and includes a wide array of RAW, TIFF, or JPEG image editing functions, which give control over variables such as white balance, dynamic range, exposure compensation and color tone. It supports sRGB, Adobe RGB, and Wide Gamut RGB color spaces.
Digic II Imaging Processor
Canon's newly developed, state-of-the-art DIGIC II imaging engine achieves super high speed processing that results in continuous shooting of 8.2-megapixel images at 8.5 fps in maximum bursts of 40 (JPEG format) or 20 (RAW format) shots. By handling larger volumes of image data, DIGIC II also contributes to lower power consumption: up to about 1,200 shots can be taken on a full battery at 20 degrees C, or around 800 shots at 0 degrees C.
More Features
The new 230,000-pixel, 2.0-inch color TFT LCD offers nearly twice the resolution of monitors on other EOS digital models, nearly 100% coverage of JPEG images, and a new bolder typeface that simplifies reading of text menus. Photos displayed on the LCD monitor can be magnified from 1.5X to 10X in 15 increments, allowing you to check the focus and exposure of images with high precision.
You can easily tailor the EOS-1D MARK II to meet your own specialized needs: 21 Custom Functions with 67 settings include the removal of the ISO speed extension setting to the ISO speed extension menu, the addition of new E-TTL averaged autoflash metering, and the inclusion of AI Servo continuous shooting, which was previously a Personal Function. 25 Personal Functions can be installed in the camera at any time, via driver software, to meet high-level customization needs. New features include the ability to append data for data verification and the ability to apply the Quick Control Dial's ON/OFF switch to the Main Dial to prevent accidental changes to settings when shooting remotely with EOS Capture. Other features include: Images can be recorded in the JPEG image format, the RAW image format, or both formats simultaneously. Seven Color Matrix settings are provided for JPEG and RAW images, including five factory presets that...
Canon DSLR Cameras Capture the Action for Captain America Below the Line
Leaped into action on movie screens this summer. To capture some of the film’s intense action sequences, the filmmakers relied on the popular EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR cameras from Canon .Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II camera provides full 1920 x 1080 HD video recording at user-selectable frame rates, including 24p (23.976 fps), the standard for motion-picture films. This, combined with the high-resolution image-capture capabilities of the camera’s 21.1-megapixel 36 x 24 mm full-frame CMOS sensor, enables filmmakers to intercut 5D Mark II sequences with 35mm film footage.
“The challenge with a lot of action photography is getting the camera in the right position,” noted second unit director of photography Jonathan Taylor . “I’m always looking to get the camera in impossible places because these kinds of shots make action sequences much more exciting. Most 35mm motion-picture cameras and even the leading digital cinematography cameras are just too big to get into interesting positions. I don’t want my ability to get a shot restricted by the bulk of the camera. This is why the Canon 5D Mark II camera is such a wonderful piece of equipment. It has a small footprint that enables you to find really good angles and shoot interesting positions. You can also hide it really well. For me it was an action, crash camera, and much more.”
Taylor used the 5D Mark II cameras to film point-of-view (POV) shots and other “action cuts” involving car chases, crashes and explosions for several sequences in . One scene, depicting a car chase that included a taxicab crashing into a truck, was intensified by Taylor’s use of the cameras mounted on the fenders of the two colliding vehicles. He wrapped both cameras in heavy-duty black foil wrap, which he then spray-painted to match the colors of each vehicle. The result was a fast-impact shot that vividly enhances the audience’s involvement in a perilous scenario.
“It’s a very quick cut – only about 12 to 15 frames – but when audiences see a shot like that it really brings them into the action,” Taylor explained. “This was a pretty impressive shot that you would never get with any other camera but the 5D Mark II. Another great thing about those cameras is that they are small enough to be invisible to the film cameras simultaneously taking the master shot of the crash.”
Taylor also placed 5D Mark II cameras inside a taxicab to capture POV footage of it rolling after crashing into the truck. “You see what the guy inside the cab sees, which is glass breaking, the sky rushing past, and then the ground,” he noted. Additional 5D Mark II cameras mounted inside other vehicles not involved in the chase provided other drivers’ POV’s of the action zooming past them.
“The thing with action is, the more angles you get, the faster the cuts you can use, and the more energy you get into a sequence,” Taylor added. “A series of fast cuts really moves a sequence along and helps involve the audience. Plus, it’s always good to give the editors lots of material, which is why I used the Canon camera wherever I could get extra angles that are interesting.”
Interesting angles to heighten excitement and give the film’s editors more options for cutting included Canon 5D Mark II close-up POV’s of Captain America operating the switches on his speeding motorcycle. Taylor explains that these kinds of shots would usually be photographed on a stationary motorcycle against a green screen, with a moving background digitally composited into the picture in postproduction. Instead, the compact size of the camera enabled Taylor to shoot these POV shots on the motorcycle while it was actually in motion. “It was much more realistic and enhanced the action better than a stationary shot,” said Taylor.
Yet another dramatic perspective was achieved by mounting a 5D Mark II inside a Pelican case strapped to a fire hydrant. “I put this really wide Canon EF lens on it and got a great shot of the taxi hitting the hydrant really close, which you’d not normally get with another camera simply because of its bulk,” he said.
“Canon EF lenses perform very well,” Taylor noted. “A lot of rental houses can provide you with big lenses for your Canon digital SLR, but that defeats the purpose when you’re trying to hide the camera. In these cases, I only use Canon EF lenses. I think the lenses are very sharp and good in the context of what we use them for, which is quick cuts. They are very compact and the camera itself is incredibly strong. Both withstood an awful lot of abuse.”

What's the differance between the Canon EOS 400D Rebel XTi & Canon EOS 5D Digital SLR Camera?
I really enjoy photography and I want to pursue it professionally. I want to get a really nice camera with all the best quality tricks-of-the-trade. However, I am having a difficult time making a decision on which to get. I prefer the Classic Canon brand. Have any recommendations?
EOS400 is an amatuer camera.
EOS 5D is closer to a Pro camera.
I'll choose the 5D because it has a full frame chip (same size as 35mm) thus, 16mm lens is 16mm and not (16x1.63)mm, Ability for shallower depth of field, etc. Generally, a full frame camera has the capabilities to create better pictures.
Setback of the 5D:
Besides being more pricey than 400D, the burst speed is not great, making it a not-so-good camera for photography that requires speed, ie. sports photography.
The 5D is made for advanced and pro photographers, while the 400D is made for the beginner or amateur photographer. They are priced accordingly as well.
Critically analyze your skill level. If you feel you require all the features that are found in the 5D then go for it. If not go with the 400D. I believe the 5D has a better sensor hence it has slightly better image quality.
Professional photographers would use a $200 camera if it allows them to sell their images. Don't necessarily choose the more expensive camera. See which camera fits your needs.
Canon slr EOS 450D-EOS 5D- which is best to buy to take best pictures price no bar?
As has been stated, they are both 12 megapixel cameras, but the most significant difference is the sensor size, and in an image quality comparison this means everything. The 5D has what is referred to in the industry as a 'full frame' sensor, and the 450D has an APS-C size sensor.
These sensor sizes are in reference to film formats. The 5D sensor is the same size as a frame of 35mm film, and the 450D sensor is the same size as the 'classic' frame on a frame of APS (or Advantix/IX240) film. APS was a film type that came out around 1996 for use in compact cameras.
Full frame is 36mm x 24mm, and APS-C is 24mm x 11mm. So the full frame sensor is significantly larger, which is one of the reasons why a 5D costs so much more.
They both have the same number of pixels in their sensors, so as you can figure, the 450D has to make the smaller and pack them in tighter. This means it is more susceptible to noise, which is caused by the electrical charge used to power the sensor.
Noise shows in photos as speckles. Noise can be seen very easily in most photos taken with webcams or mobile phone cameras. It looks like a faint version of the static you see on a television that isn't tuned to a channel. It can be multi-coloured speckles in dark areas of photos (which gets worse as you take photos in darker conditions) , or as very small variations in brightness in speckles throughout a photo. The multi-coloured speckles can look quite ugly if a photo is printed large, and can also make colours look 'muddy'. The changes in brightness means that the edges of objects in a photo won't be as sharp.
The 5D sensor will produce very sharp photos with little colour noise, whereas photos from a 450D will show more noise, getting worse when there is less light available to take photos. So a 5D will produce much higher quality images under all conditions, but particularly under low-light conditions, such as night time landscape or scenery shots, and images of the night sky.
One difference to consider though, is what type of photos you will be taking. Because of the smaller sensor, even if you use the same lenses, the 450D will take photos which appear 'zoomed in' to a greater degree. This is due to the crop factor, which means your photo will be made from a smaller section of the image provided by the lens. This crop factor for APS-C sensors is 1.6, so the subject of your image will appear 1.6 times larger in a 450D image than the 5D one.
This is great if you like to take images of distant objects, like sports action shots, or photos of birds and wildlife.
But it is a disadvantage if you like to take wide angle shots, like architechture and lanscape photos. Using the same lens on the two cameras, the 5D will give you a shot with a wider field of view, because the 450D shot will be 'zoomed in' by a factor of 1.6 .
Some lenses for the 450D will be a lot cheaper. Because of the smaller APS-C sensor, it requires a smaller image to be projected by the lens. Which means a lens made especially for this size sensor (called EF-S), requires less glass, so it's cheaper. The disadvantage is that these lenses can only be used on a Canon camera with an APS-C sensor.
The 5D creates sharper images, and uses more of the image projected by the lens, so it will reveal flaws in lower quality lenses. So if you plan to sell your photos, or make large prints, you will have to buy higher quality lenses (such as the L series of Canon lenses) for the 5D.
The 450D has a newer processor, the DiG!C III, which gives it a slightly faster frame rate for continuous shooting. But the 5D has a larger buffer (equivalent to RAM on a computer) which ultimately means it can take more photos continuously before it runs out of memory.
The 450D with the DiG!C III can take its highest quality photos at 3.5 shots per second up to 6 shots.
The 5D with the older DiG!C II can take its highest quality photos at 3 shots per second up to 17 shots.
The 5D is also capable of faster, more accurate auto focus, and auto focus in darker conditions.
So if money up to the price of these two cameras is not an issue, on the quality front, the 5D will always be the better choice. If money truly isn't an issue, and you want to make a profession out of your photos, look into the EOS 1D MkIII or the EOS 1Ds MkIII.
Another model to look into would be the EOS 40D, which is marketed as a higher spec camera than the 450D.
An excellent resource if you'd like to research these cameras is the website DPReview. See the source list below for the URL. Amazon.com is als excellent, in particular for user reviews.
5d is full frame, lens are more expensive
450 has digic III processor
both camere serve different purpose, you take 450D for family vacation, and 5d for commercial photography.
the current 5d suppsedly with ful frame sensor has sharper image compared to 450d ; but 450 d has higher technology with digic iii
however 5d will be replaced soon by mkii or 7d

Any Equalent model to Canon EOS 5D SLR Digital Camera.which is best in those models to take good photos?
The new Nikon D3 full-frame sensor DSLR is comparable to the 5D.
However, good photographs are more dependent on the skill and expertise of the photographer than the camera used. If you know nothing about light and composition and f-stops and shutter speeds and ISO then you're unlikely to get good photos with any camera.
If I were to buy myself a new 767 aircraft, it would not make me a better pilot. Especially if I had decided to skip "ground school" and just wanted to start flying. After all, that plane has auto-pilot and everything on it.
http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htm
Nikon D3 (actually, it's more expensive, but it's also far superior to the Canon 5D)
Kodak SLR/n (good camera up to ISO 400). Only available used.
Kodak 14n (good camera up to ISO 400). Only available used.
Nikon D300, which is actually a better camera than the 5D, but shoot with an APS-sized sensor, so you have to adjust lenses accordingly.
Bottom-line though: a good photographer can get good images with just about any modern digital SLR, because the skill of the photographer plays the largest role in good photos.
I wish to bye Canon EOS 5D SLR Digital Camera.Is it worth to take crystal clear photos.what precaution to take
Buying a 5D isn't going to garantee crystal clear pics. A solid understanding photographic principles of how to achieve sharp pics would help. You have to think the whole process through, from lens, to shutter speed, to good support (tripod). Perhaps try a lower priced camera such as the new XSi, start off with some sensible lenses and you could theoretically build up your foundation. Buying an expensive camera body isn't going to guarantee that your pics are going to come out 'crystal clear'.
I'd say that your first precaution to take is to study and absorb as much as you can from photography based sites. Buying the camera is going to be the least of your worries, it's a steep learning curve.
Edit: I see others have said what I think here: http://tinyurl.com/5fuq7d
That being said, the 5D is a screaming deal right now (getting close to $2000 new in my neighborhood) and well worth having.
I'd say the 5D, Canon's 24-105 lens, and the excellent book Digital Photography For Dummies will send you down the path to crystal clear photos.

canon EOS 5d :D get it or not?
Hey!
I got this problem its rly silly and my English isn't that great so just...bare with me please.
I've been an amateur photographer for quite sometime now (not rly lol im too lazy/shy to ask ppl to take their pictures) and i have a Sony dsc w35
its 7.2 megapixel (thats rly what i think matters and i know its dumb) .
well the problem is now...after finding out about those canon EOS cameras im like ... drueling over them . ive seen some photos taken by them and they're just...amazing. i've narrowed my selections to the eos d5 . and i wanna get it sooo much the problem is ...its quite pricey and i dont know like half the features in it all those abbreviations like slr ,eos etc... i dont even get. i only want to get it cuz it takes those awesome pics. now im not sure those pics are that great cuz of the camera but cuz of the photographers who took em (who are naturally better than me). and if tahts right ill get it then the pictures i take with it wont be that great and ill be..heart broken! xD
well i confused myself typing this i hope you at least got an idea about what my problem is. should i get the camera anyway and just learn on it?,should i stick with mine?any suggestions?,please :L
thanks in advance
oh and if u know any better cameras than the 5d
please tell anyway!
An SLR (single lens reflex) camera is a big step up from point and shoot cameras (such as your Sony dsc w35)
An SLR camera offers much more options whilst taking your photos such as aperture settings (the little 'iris' of the camera that controls how much light is let in to the camera's sensor [the bit that converts light to an image for you])
Canon's 5D is a very nice advanced camera, however it is quite pricey as you said and it would NOT be worth it if you do not know much about an SLR camera.
Simply buying a good camera (in SLR form) is not going to necessarily improve the quality/composition of your photos; in fact if you do not know how to use an SLR (or do not know all about its features) then the odds are it will in fact worsen the quality of your photos. It is the photographer, and not necessarily the camera, that composes and takes the photo; many great photos can be taken with a point-and-shoot (or compact) camera, and all aspiring photographers of this generation start off with one, including myself. ;)
I would recommend doing some research into cameras and how they work by buying some books, going to the library or looking up the internet etc. before purchasing a new camera.
Learn all about the shutter, the aperture settings, different lenses, telephoto vs wide-angle vs zoom lenses, sensors, how an SLR camera works etc. before even thinking of purchasing an SLR camera.
The 5D is also a full-frame sensored camera, meaning it would be great for wide angle landscapes but a disadvantage action shots. Do some research into the differences between a full-frame sensor and a non-full-frame sensor. Lets not forget whilst you're spending this sort of money you must find a camera that is right for you and your needs!
Even after you learn all of these terms I would suggest buying a slightly simpler SLR camera to start off with that isn’t as pricey. Then when you advance on that can you think of buying a more advanced camera, as I am now.
Good Luck!
The "problem" with that is you have to use good lens(es), because if you don't, it's like using a coke bottle for a lens for this camera. (It's like using premium gasoline for your expensive car.)
For example, this lens ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/little_pooky/2768748196/ click on ALL SIZES to see larger version) was $1,100--and that's cheap compared to other L lenses.
So consider too that you can get a cheaper camera with these (great) lenses as lenses are supposed to outlast the camera.
Second, it is a HUGH jump for you from P&S digicam to Full Frame Pro-Am DSLR.
Why don't you take a look at the Rebel XS or XSi?
It is the Entry-level models which you can have the kit (body + lens) in under $1000.00 in most places and take a course or 2 to learn the techniques.
Once you feel comfortable with DSLR, then you can always trade-in your DSLR body and upgrade the camera as you mature.
Is it the best camera? Maybe not ... I say that because unless you have a few years experience using a 35 mm SLR, jumping to an advanced DSLR having only used a P&S camera, could be frustrating, unless you are willing to take at least on class in photography and learn how to expose, develop and print images using film.
There is no magic about a Canon, Nikon, Hasselblad when it comes to taking great photos ... it all has to do with the skills of the photographer, so if you are depending upon a high end Canon (or Nikon) to make your photos better, don't. Until you can learn how to control any of those cameras, you may find your photography will be in many ways less impressive than the images you are producing now using a nearly fully automatic P&S camera.
http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/notcamera.htm
This link should help you in understanding what you need to do, to become an accomplished photographer.
Consider buying a good used Nikon or Canon 35 mm SLR and taking a class in photography. If you are still set on buying a DSLR, then you may find looking at the Canon 450D or Nikon D40 at your local camera store and see which fits best in your hands. You will notice that the pixel count on the Canon 450D is higher than the D40 ... this link should inform you about why that is not a problem.
http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm
I will emphasize that jumping to the 5D when you don't even know how to use an SLR may be a bit of a waste. If you had tons of money to throw around I might say "go for it" but you seemed hesitant because of the price.
Instead of the 5D I'd take a look at the XSi (450D) or the 40D. They can be purchased for about $800US and $1100US, respectively. They're still great cameras and will take way better photos than your P&S. Also, you may find that you like the smaller size of the XSi more.
Once you have any SLR the quality of your pictures basically comes down to how good a photographer you are.
Is an EOS 5D Mark II, worth the money?
I'm getting a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, most probably by next week. But before I pay for the camera, I'd like to know on your opinions/advices if its such a good idea. Or should I go for another Canon SLR? (sorry a little bias on Canon's side :P)
I've read reviews on the internet saying that it has focus problem and can NOT take clear pictures. Can this be fixed by using a different type of lens? I’ve had focusing problems with my 40D before but disappeared when I bought an L lens.
Need help on deciding here please!! :)
Your expertise are VERY MUCH VALUED! :)
Please and thank you.
Money isn't a problem. So I don't have the need to invest money on lenses. :)
Unless you are planning an Antarctica trip, you may want to disregard the findings. If you take the link, you will find that "About 70% of the expedition members and instructors were shooting Canon, and some 30% were shooting with Nikons." Serious shooters choose Canon and Nikon. Enjoy your new EOS 5D Mark II.
I wish to buy the Canon EOS 5D Mark II but..?
it only has 3.9 fps. Isnt that awfully low for such a terrific SLR?
The 5D is probably the finest portrait and landscape camera around but it is not designed for the serious sports shooter. For sports and high FPS the 1d MK11 is the Canon camera to have. It shoots 10 FPS and costs $3,700 for the body. One the cheaper end the 40D and 50D shoot at 6.5 FPS.
What should I get ... Canon EOS 50D or 5D MK II?
It's been years since I've held an SLR in my palms ... and am wanting to buy a great camera.
What should I get, keeping in mind the price and specs comparison......etc
I'd be using it to take shots of landscapes, nature shots, animals, performances [stage shots etc] .... and macro shots.
What will you be using it for? How much do you want to spend?
Both are good cameras. The 50D is top of the line for a cropped sensor DSLR. The 5D has a lot of interesting new features like the HD video capability, and it has a full frame sensor.
If you need the added features of the 5D, it's a great choice. If you don't need a full frame camera with all the bells and whistles, stick with the 50D.

the cameras i have been looking at are
canon eos 40d

canon eos 20d
please help =]
Well the Nikon D40 or the Canon Digital Rebel XT/350D is a good start.
From what I see in your gallery, you might want to invest in a macro lens. The 100mm macro from both Nikon and Canon is pretty good.
The 20D seems to be a little bit old now and it's been replaced by the 30D which in turns have been replaced by the 40D.
If you can afford the 40D, then by all means get it. Otherwise... I think the 30D is great for you.
I don't know wheter are you going to need a full frame camera just as yet so I can't be sure if I want to recommend you the 5D or not.
The 400D is the replacement for the 350D and it's an excellent camera - but since it's in a different class than all the other camera you mention, its build quality is slightly inferior than the other. It won't give you any problem if you use it for day to day purpose though, but the other camera is built more ruggedly.
Last but not least, you might want to look around for lenses too. For me, picking a camera is relatively easy because there's only a few selection out there. Lenses on the other hands...

im looking to buy my first digital slr camera and im not sure what to be looking for?
ive been tossing up between the
canon eos 40d
canon eos 5d
canon 400d
what would be best??????
Out of all of them, the EOS 5D is the best. This is a professional camera, and unless this is what you need/want, don't get it. Pass it up for the 40d. I must say, though, the 5D is an excellent. It has a full frame, high burst speed, great body, and excellent images. Though, none of the cheaper lenses will work on it, I think they are called EF lenses. These lenses were built for smaller sensors, and if used on a full frame camera, there will be a circular image.
