Introduction

My Canon A620 digital camera has been a faithful backup camera for over a year now. It does pretty much everything I ask of it and it's made me a big fan of Canon's A-series cameras. The next step up from this series of camera is Canon's G-series, which is supposed to be the... Read full review »

I am not a professional photographer but I have owned several digital cameras, including the Canon G2, G4 and G6. My review here of the latest G9 is based on personal use and a comparison to previous G series cameras. My comments will be general in nature and intended for non-professional shoppers...

Canon EOS 5D Mark II: The perfect balance?

bytheuerkorn May 12, 2009
38 Helpfuls 39 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Resolution, IQ, ergonomics, High ISO, HD video, lens fine tune, battery, quiet, UDMA
Cons only 3.9fps, 9-point AF system, no integrated flash, "expensive"
Recommended it? Yes
