About this camera

Launched in 2008, it was the first DSLR to offer 1080p Full HD video with a full-frame sensor - triggering a revolution in video production and cementing the 5D line as a working professional tool. 21MP stills, full-frame CMOS sensor.

Best for
A landmark camera. The 5D II changed commercial video production (many Hollywood productions have used it), changed wedding photography (full-frame 'cinematic' video was suddenly available), and remains a capable full-frame stills camera today. Weather-sealed body, dual-card slots (CF), 21MP sensor with exceptional dynamic range for its era.
Frequently asked questions
Is the 5D II still usable for professional work?
For stills, yes - 21MP full-frame with strong dynamic range still delivers excellent results. For video, it's dated (1080p only, no 4K, no modern AF) but remains a cult camera with distinctive look. Modern AF systems (Dual Pixel, AF tracking) are notably absent.
Can I use EF-S lenses on the 5D II?
No. EF-S lenses have a rear element that protrudes too far into the mirror chamber of full-frame bodies - they will not mount on the 5D II or any other full-frame Canon EF body.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
