Photography Equipment The Canon 5D MK II is the finest DSLR I've owned. The 5D with the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 IS II USM Telephoto is a combo hard to beat. The 70-200mm lens is first out of my camera bag. Optically the 70-200mm is one of the finest lens I've owned. The 5D has a continuous shooting speed of 3.9 fps. This is very helpful shooting birds in flight. The 5D has live view and shoots 1080p video. The 5D MK II is a 21.1 megapixel camera with a full frame sensor.
