EOS 5D Mark II Accessories
There are many accessories for the EOS 5D Mark II. The EF-S series of lenses are especially made to work well with this camera. An extra battery or two will come in handy if you plan on long excursions or shooting lots of video. If you're going to shoot a lot of video, you'll probably want extra memory cards as well.

Amazon Price: $723.97
Customer Review: For my amateur hobby shooting I prefer zooms with constant aperture along with a few portrait primes. So I might carry a 28-75mm f2.8 or a 70-200 f4 IS, and maybe a 35mm f2 or 50mm f1.4 for low light and portraits. I've read up on some reviews and wa...

Customer Review: I bought this remote because it specifically stated that it worked with my Canon Rebel T2i. It does not. The directions are straightforward, it just doesn't work. I even tried a new battery.

Customer Review: I bought this as a back-up battery for my Canon 7D. There's not too much you can say about a battery except that it works as expected and seems to hold a charge for a good long while.
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: A great item that relieves stress on hand or wrist muscles. I just wish it can be used at the same time with the strap that comes with the camera (Nikon), because you can only hold the camera body + lens + flash + battery grip for so long before the...

Customer Review: Should have listened to that inner voice. Performance was wonky and unreliable. Had to send it back. Should not have sacrificed price for quality. Stick with the brand name Canon version. Cord failed during a wedding shoot. I had redundancy but it wa...

Customer Review: Works as advertised - very easy to use. No on/off button, but it's not necessary - I leave it on all the time. The price is so cheap I thought "no way" - but after several very long astrophotography sessions I'm sold on this remote.

Customer Review: Well, I liked the battery until it stopped powering on my 7D after 5 days. It still charges, but doesn't work. Not too great when you need power for a shoot. I wish there was a good 3rd party battery out there for the 7d/5Dii.

EOS 5D Mark II Accessory Updates
October 20, 2009 Enhanced Wireless Controller press release
Canon brings enhanced wireless control to the latest EOS-1 Series and EOS 5D Mark IILondon, 20 October 2009 - Canon today announced the launch of two new Wireless File Transmitters to improve workflow efficiency and place greater control and flexibility in the hands of professional photographers using both wired and wireless networks.
The
WFT-E2
Transfer images securely
Transferring images from the camera to a PC, external hard drive or
FTP server is made simpler and more secure. Both the WFT-E2 II
and WFT-E4 II support high security WPA2-PSK authentication and AES
encryption over wireless networks. IPsec encryption is also used
as standard in both wired and wireless networks to ensure that every
photographer's personal IP is protected.
Remote control shooting
The WFT-E2 II and WFT-E4 II allow photographers
to communicate with their camera remotely using a number of different
methods. Using the included EOS Utility software, photographers can easily
browse and control a wide range of settings on the camera body over
a network connection. The EOS Utility allows photographers to control
EOS cameras and capture images remotely. This is a major benefit for
studio photographers who need to fine tune manual settings and shoot
images for instant review on a large screen or sports photographers who
may use more complex, multi-camera installations to get the shots they
need.
The WFT Server takes full advantage of Java-enabled internet browsers, providing more opportunities for photographers to change camera settings like ISO, focus, aperture and shutter speed, from a computer or portable wireless device such as a PDA or smartphone. This allows photographers to control their cameras whilst on the move or when in remote areas where carrying a computer may be impractical. One camera can be accessed from up to three different computers or mobile devices, allowing photographers convenient and flexible remote control over their photography.
These new wireless file transmitters take remote capture one step further for professional photographers who want to take exciting pictures more efficiently. Through the linked shooting function, up to ten slave cameras can be wirelessly connected to a master unit up to 100m away. The master camera will then trigger the slaves, allowing specialists like wildlife and sports photographers to capture a subject from a multitude of different angles.
Connectivity
The WFT-E2 II and WFT-E4 II offer WiFi Protected Set-up (WPS) - or
alternatively an easy-to-follow wizard - taking photographers through
a simple step-by-step process to connect the camera to any available
network in range. The WFT-E2 II and WFT-E4 II comply with 802.11b and
g standards, as well as the more stable 802.11a wireless standard used
at many large sporting events like the Olympic Games. They also feature
an integrated Ethernet LAN port for high-speed wired connectivity.
A USB port and host function also allows photographers to connect several accessories including a Bluetooth dongle for wireless connectivity to GPS, enabling them to geo-tag images for future reference. Other connectivity options include connection directly to a compatible USB compliant GPS device or an external hard disk drive for additional image storage, improving the workflow for many photographers.
Availability
The WFT-E2 II and WFT-E4 II will be available from December 2009.
At launch, firmware updates for the EOS 5D Mark II (for the WFT-E4 II), EOS-1D Mark III and EOS-1Ds Mark III (for the WFT-E2 II) will be made available via the Canon Europe website.
