I’ve spent a long time being awed and intimidated by those people who somehow manage to get each picture they take to turn out like a small work of art, but I recently realized a key secret: if you’re going to snap like a pro, you need a camera that can live up to your lofty photographic goals. Even a good amateur photog needs the right tools to get the job done, and it’s time I left behind my beloved disposable camera for something a little more grown up.
For stellar photography that you can pull off in the day-to-day (without photo shoot-sized equipment), there’s nothing better on the market right now than the 5D Canon Mark II.
You might not guess it at first glance, but this sleek little piece of equipment is a full frame professional grade camera that’s smaller (and more convenient) than most of its counterparts on the market. The 5D II is also member of DSLR (digital single-lens reflex) family of digital cameras, meaning you can preview and set up your shot more accurately and with minimal effort.
