The Canon EOS 5D Mk. II started it all back in 2008. It was a step-up from the Mk. I with a new little feature: video recording. Well that little feature turned out to be quite the game changer. It's been eight years since that revolution in video recording and Canon has announced its latest iteration of the EOS 5D. It's nothing surprising to be honest.

Over at Cinema5D Richard Lackey wrote a nice piece on how this release kind-of sounds in The End of the Video DSLR. It's time to say goodbye ;-)
