I use 5D-II three weeks. Very usefully camera. All controls are on it
places. Very good image quality. For shooting video you must use tripod.
Magnificent camera for shooting in the dark.

Bought this camera as a replacement for its predecessor the 5D, and I am
not disappointed. I work in Northgreenland where it is dark for many
month every year and therefore shoot many night pictures. This camera
does in all aspects fullfill my expactations and I can only recommend it.
