The 5D Mark II was used in recent movies and TV shows such as Act of Valor, Red Tails, House, Walking Dead, 24 and many more.

Panasonic’s DC-G85 Mirrorless 4K Micro Four Thirds Camera is a power packed mid-range model. This model has substantial improvements over the previous popular Lumix G7 model that it replaces. Panasonic has added the much praised IBIS and 5 Axis Dual IS 2 Image stabilization to the camera. This stabilization even works when recording 4K video. With built-in body stabilization, you can use lenses with no stabilization and still have a steady shot for photos and video. The new Electromagnetic Drive Shutter is quieter and helps eliminate shutter shock in photos. The new 16 megapixel sensor has no anti aliasing filter, for sharper pictures and video. The 4K Ultra HD records in UHD (3840 x2160) the same dimensions and resolution as 4K TVs. 4K Video has four times the resolution of Full HD, giving you sharper video, even if you convert the footage back to HD. By shooting in 4K, you are future proofing your videos, as 4K is quickly becoming the standard. The G85 has an OLED EVF (2,360k-dot), and a 3.0-inch LCD Touchscreen (1,040-dot). WiFi 802.11b/g/n, allows you to wirelessly control your camera from your smartphone. … …More …
