Canon EOS 5D Mark II

$2,700 camera that launched the DSLR filmmaking revolution in 2008.

When Canon dropped the 5D Mark II in 2008, it wasn't the sensor or the autofocus that changed everything — it was the full-frame 1080p video recording. Overnight, independent filmmakers and journalists had a cinema-quality video tool for $2,700. The entire DSLR filmmaking revolution — from indie features to network TV to YouTube — traces back to this camera. "House" shot entire episodes on it. It destroyed the line between photography and filmmaking forever.
