Thank you for been honest, I currently own the 5D plus the 16-35 for some reason don’t feel the rush on the new MarkII. I sew few shots also to many complains I feel kind of disappointed how slappy CANON has been…
Thank you
Harry

I suspect the weird colors in the video are just the result of an odd combination of settings, or the fact that it was taken with a preproduction model.

Most importantly, the above video sample shows that the 5D Mark II does not suffer terribly from rolling shutter skewing artifacts. They are there, but only about as bad as in the Canon HV20.

The robust H.264 compression looks excellent; very artifact resistant.

Keep in mind that these photo were taken with a DEMO unit of Canon, a lot of people were playing with the camera, and that we were in Hi ISO. We are waiting for a sample to review and hope we will get a better result.

As for the video is concerned… I will reply like the Canon Engineer did…. AHAHAH (Almost), what do you expect from a Camera? Even a DSLR, want video, take a Video Camera

Wooow .. those pics are absolutely not representative for the 5d mark II - 16-35 F2,8 combo look at that noise on ISO 25600 and 12800 !! furthermore the colours are just weird ... were these pics taken using the infamous auto-iso mode ? and the video ... well not too impressive indeed. Let's just say I'm not blown away by these.
