This review is from: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Black 21.1 MP Full HD Movie Digital SLR Camera - Body Only
Pros:
This is a robust solidly built camera and the quality shows. It's also a weather resistant (NOT weatherproof) camera so you can use it in bad weather provided you use the appropriate 'L' lens with it. Focusing is fast and accurate. Also the camera menus is very easy to learn.
Cons:
Since it is robust and solid, it's on the heavy side compared to the polycarbonate bodied cameras such as the 60D. If you use this camera with an 'L' lens be prepared because it really gets heavy. Depending on your stamina hiking with this lens will be a bit difficult in the long run.
Overall Review:
You can read it's features so I won't go there. I already have the Canon 60D and I will be using the 5DII as a primary or secondary camera while traveling or on a regular basis. The reason I got this camera was because of the full frame viewfinder. APS-C viewfinders are fine but nothing compares to FF. Newegg had this camera for $150 off so went ahead and bought it. Though it was free shipping unfortunately it didn't apply to Hawaii but then again the shipping was reasonable. Newegg delivered this camera within a week and watching the delivery status online really helped a lot.
