Key Advantages

The Canon EOS 5D Mark II offers full-frame sensor quality at a competitive price point, delivering exceptional image quality. Its introduction of Full HD video recording in a DSLR set a new standard for hybrid photo-video capture. The DIGIC 4 processor enhances speed and image processing. A broad ISO range facilitates versatility in various lighting conditions. The 3-inch high-resolution LCD screen improves the user interface experience. Additionally, the camera body features robust build quality suitable for professional demands.

Limitations

The Canon EOS 5D Mark II uses a 9-point autofocus system that is less sophisticated compared to more modern DSLRs with advanced multi-point AF systems. Its continuous shooting speed is limited to approximately 3.9 frames per second, which may be insufficient for fast-action photography. The camera lacks in-body image stabilization, relying on lenses for stabilization. The video autofocus during recording is not continuous and requires manual focus adjustments. Additionally, the camera does not have built-in Wi-Fi or GPS features, which are common in newer models. Battery life for video recording is relatively short compared to modern DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
