It would be fair to say that Carlo Nicora was a big fan of the new Canon 5D Mark II camera. In fact, it may even be fair to say that he was a VERY big fan – and who can blame him when one takes a look at just some of the magnificent shots he produced.

Tweeting that “This camera is able to Create Light from the Darkness!!!!” and that “The Canon 5D Mark II is a SUPERB camera!” he goes on to describe a particular shot in great detail on his blog.

“On the South Bank I crossed these two guys, who were walking and smiling in a low red light. Usually my camera would have been away already, or it would have been suffering in the widest aperture and highest ISO setting”. But with Canon in hand, he gained permission for the shot and utilising skills along with technical wizardry, he “remained hit by the detail of the shot. To be a ISO 1600 I think this is stunning.”
