Photography – Canon 5D Mark II
With todays camera being able to make movies, I decided to test this out for myself. Already owning two UW HD Video systems, this would be a nice addition to my collection. I decided on the Canon 5D Mark II. Everything I’ve read and seen about this camera is fantastic. The final season of House was filmed with this camera. In addition to the Canon 5D Mark II, I also purchased the following:
Canon 16-35mm f/2.8L USM & 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Lenses
CTA Digital CTLPE6 LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.4V, 1950mAh)
Canon CALPE6 LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1800mAh)
Canon CABGE6 BG-E6 Battery Grip
SanDisk 724557 64GB 600x Extreme Pro CompactFlash Card
Swarovski SWCT101 CT-101 Carbon Fiber Tripod w/ FH101 Fluid Quick Release Pan/Tilt Head
Kirk KIBL5DM2G BL-5DIIG L-Bracket for Canon 5DMKII Camera Body
Still on the list is a Housing, Wide Angle Dome Port, Pair of light/strobes. These I will buy a little later. Since I can’t dive at the moment, this provides me the opportunity to learn the camera and lenses. So far I’m liking the camera. Here is a picture taken with the Canon 5D Mark II -> PierBird

PADI MSDT - I've been a diver for over 33 years. I became an instructor because I want to be creditable and able to transfer my knowledge and skills to newer divers. Beside, it cuts down on the expense of diving. NOT! My Motto: First in, Last out
