Canon shutters the EOS 5D Mark II, makes Mark III man of the house

Given the advent of the EOS 5D Mark III, it's hardly a surprise to see that the Mark II has been quietly moved to Canon's retired list.

While the spirit of the 5D lives on in the latest revision, the old dog most definitely deserves a toast 'round the fire.
