My good friend Jackson recently got a Canon 5D Mark II which is a professional-grade dSLR with HD video recording capabilities. He's been a bit busy recently, but we decided to go to the Claremont Colleges and play around with it. We were under this giant tree for awhile because of these taunting squirrels! Anyways his camera is nothing I've ever seen before. It's a full-frame 21.1MP dSLR which means it's image sensor is the size of old 35mm film cameras. In laymons terms this translates to a camera that has ridiculously good low-light performance and a really good dynamic range that produces very high quality pictures at very large sizes.

Here are some pictures I took documenting our afternoon adventure. I shot 85% of the pictures in RAW as I'm slowly adapting to post-processing.
