Canon 5d mark II Terrific! (Mark Jacobs - 10/25/08)

This camera is the best camera I have ever used. It has incredibly easy controls and the resolution is incomparible for the price. The 1080p video shooting makes for spectacular videos. Incredible value for the most incredible piece of lastest technology.
