Canon EOS 5D Mark II Price Drops to $1799

Leave a comment

B&H has the Canon 5D Mark II body on sale for $1799 right now. If you have been holding out for a full frame body, this seems like a great opportunity. While the newer Canon EOS 5D Mark III offers some improved features that can make a difference to some photographers, for others the 5DII can perform essentially equally well. For example, those photographing subjects like landscape or architecture and so on will find that the 5DII produces image quality that essentially equals that of the 5DIII, and that they likely won’t miss the newer features. (I considered upgrading from my 5DII, but I decided that the 5DIII – as fine as it is – won’t provide compelling advantages for my photography.)

It is also worth noting that this makes the price of the 5DII barely more than 50% of that of the 5DIII!

Every so often it seems like time to do a bit of updating around the blog, and I’m embarking on a bit of that work here at the end of the summer season. Some of the changes are minor or even invisible, but you may notice others as you look around the blog – now and during upcoming weeks. One change has been to move some affiliate links to where you can find them a bit more easily in the right sidebar of the blog.

B&H Photo is the well known vendor of photography, video, audio, and many other products – with an impressive storefront in New York City and a great online store that carries just about anything photographic that you might need or want.

Craft And Vision eBooks

Craft & Vision has pioneered the creation and sales of excellent and inexpensive eBooks on a wide range of photographic topics, and written by a group of experienced photographers.

ThinkTank Photo

ThinkTank Photo produces and sells a range of very high quality and innovative photographic bags and related gear. My primary gear bag is their Airport Acceleration bag.

I personally purchase and use products from each of these vendors. I’m grateful when you make purchases through these links since they help support the blog and you get the same prices on great gear. If you find the information at this blog useful, consider making your purchases through these links. Thanks!
