Canon EOS 5D Mark II
I finally got my new camera. I thought it was time to purchase a new camera and after shopping around and looking for the best performance for the best price, I went with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The camera shoots great. At 21.1 Megapixels the quality is amazing. After charging up the battery for it yesterday when I got home from work, I hooked up the 28-135mm lens and the 580EX Flash to it and fired up a couple of shots to experiment with the Live View function. I still have a lot to learn on it. I was originally using the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, which was only 8.2 Megapixels. This is a big jump for me, not only in quality but in price. I originally paid $499 for my Rebel XT back when I bought it in 2005 or so. I bought it off of this one website that is no longer up and running. Back then that was a steal for the Rebel. I had to get the 5D off of eBay for about $2000. I bought it new, because I just don’t think I would ever buy anything used again over my years of experience on eBay and in real life.
I plan on taking it with me to the Fresno State graduation this Saturday to see my wife’s cousin graduate. I hope the test shots are great.
Thanks for reading!
