EOS 5D Mark II vs other Canon full-frame DSLRs
The chart below compares the EOS 5D Mark II with some other current Canon full-frame cameras. What we've done below is presented something of a hybrid comparison between these three models. A red cell means that a given camera performs below the other two, a green cell means that it performs better than the other two, and a yellow cell means it falls between the other two. In cases where two cameras share a superior capability, both cells will be colored green.
