Canon EOS 5D Mark II Review: Bob Atkins Likes It

Well, yes I’m a little biased about the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, because I have one, and happen to really like it, and for the most part reviews have been good. There are flaws, flaws that I hope to spell out in my own review, but for the biggest bang for the buck, the 5D2 has to rank very high. To the point though, Bob Atkins has reviewed the 5D2 and this caught my eye:

However, even with High ISO noise reduction set to Off, and even with the 5D (which has no noise reduction so it’s always “off”), there is some level of noise reduction applied by default. If you shoot in RAW and use Canon’s DPP RAW conversion software, you can set noise reduction to zero. I don’t know if that removes ALL noise reduction, but it should unless Canon is actually modifying the RAW data by some means.

This is interesting, and I’ll be heading right back into Digital Photo Professional to examine this. But until then check out Atkins very thorough review here.

Note: Still not in stock regularly, but more frequently at the big 3.
