Wedding Photographer’s Review: Canon 5D Mark II

Oly Ruiz of Metrophoto gave us a heads up of his review of this new Canon camera.  Metrophoto has been one of the W@Wie favorites since they first appeared and participated in the free prenup sessions during last year’s W@W Christmas Party.

Here’s Oly talking about the general conditions when Metrophoto tried the new toy.

“Metrophoto was very blessed to get the chance to use and review the Canon 5D Mark 2 in just only a few weeks after its announcement. Thanks to John Chua and JayR Romero, we are the very first wedding photographers here in the Philippines (probably just second in the world after Steve and Jen Bebb’s review) to be able to get a hand on the only existing 5D Mark II in the country. 🙂 Isn’t that just pure awesomeness? 😀 We had the camera the entire Saturday for our very magnificent engagement session with Migs and Denise where we shot on the sailboat in the murky waters of Manila Bay and then continued on to Nasugbu in Batangas where rain caught up on us and ruined (well, more of enchanted) our supposed-to-be sunset setting.”

See & hear the review in the video below.  The clips were taken by Shierdan Pamintuan (another guy who also had a taste of being a W@Wie favorite!) and his wife Jen.  Dan came along for the shoot to also check the video capabilities (full 1080p HD movie recording) of the new camera.  We’ll link his review here as soon as it’s up.
