We recently went on a trip to Disney World with my wife’s family, and I brought along my 5D for the ride.  That’s the Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLR, to be precise.

It turned out that the 5D was a perfect fit for Disney.  For instance, its fast lenses with image stabilization, 4 fps burst rate and 21 megapixel sensor allowed me the shutter speeds and resolution I needed to take some killer photos on our very bumpy Animal Kingdom Safari.  (Bad choice of words, there…)

Its full-frame sensor allowed for depth of field control that yielded some wicked cool portraits on a nature hike in the Animal Kingdom.

Finally, its excellent low light capabilities yielded some stunning photos in Epcot at dusk.

All in all, we took almost 4,000 pictures over seven days.  Of those, I saved 750.  Of those, I posted a small sampling to Flickr.

As you know, the 5D Mark II is not only famous for its low light capabilities and its depth of field control.  It also shoots stunning HD video. Check out this video on YouTube to see what I’m talking about.  The fireworks are my favorite parts.
