This camera features a 21.1 megapixel, full-frame CMOS sensor, yielding  images of up to 5616 x 3744 pixels. All lenses produce the angle of view they would on a 35mm camera without a conversion factor; this is especially handy when shooting with wide-angle lenses.

For shooting flexibility in even the most dimly lit situations, the EOS 5D Mark II offers Canon’s highest ISO sensitivity to date, ranging from 100-6400 (expandable to ISO L: 50, H1: 12800 and H2: 25600). Thanks to improved noise reduction technologies, images shot even at highest sensitivity will be remarkably smooth.
