Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

This must be the best camera ever made. It is silky smooth, and very versatile. Well worth the cost.

A one hour exposure of the night sky (tripod and remote with timer needed (I've only tried ASA 100 so far (to reduce possible niose))) went beyond expectations, as good as film. I've had this camera for 4 years, no problems. Nice camera.

Build Quality:

The 5D Mark ii has a really solid feel to it. The construction is really sturdy, made from magnesium alloy. It has nice nice dust and weather resistance throughout - right down to the memory card slot, battery door, LCD and buttons. The accessory shoe is well-built and I have never had any problems with connectivity with my external flash or wireless triggers. The EF lens mount (the 5D Mark ii will not mount any EF-S lenses) is firm and gives no discernible travel - even when I have my Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS ii attached.

Controls, Menus and Display:

The controls and menus are intuitive. Placements of main dial, quick control dial, ISO, AF, and enlarge/reduce buttons are all fine . Canon allows for a "my menu" feature that allows you to make your own custom functions - I haven't personally used this but it looks pretty useful.

The display is bright and sharp. I can view it well even outdoors in bright sunlight. The various display modes are helpful (4 in all - Large image and status line; Large image status line and image #; Small image, status line, lum histogram; Small image, status line, lum+RGB histograms).

Live view works well, one can also zoom and preview depth of field in live view. Live view is also functional in movie mode.

Picture quality:

The camera is really nice for portraiture, giving a very even and true-to-life skin colors and tones. With respect to landscape and architectural photography the body is sharp, with good saturation producing really nice blues, greens and reds.

Positives:

-Excellent low light performance - this body is quite frankly the difference between a usable image and an unusable image in low-light situations. This is mission critical for the dimly lit churches and reception halls for wedding photographers or in other indoor candid situations.

-Photos from ISO 50-3200 are usable and have acceptably low noise. The occasional photo above ISO 3200 can be salvaged by going black & white.

-Battery life - the LP-E6 battery is a workhorse. I shoot 4,000-8,000 shots at a wedding and I have never ran out of battery using my BG-E6 grip with two LP-E6's.

-No on-camera flash - I loathe on-camera flashes. They don't work, they ruin pictures and they are flat out annoying. This is a professional quality body. On-camera flashes are for soccer moms and the annoying people who get in your way at weddings.

-Very well built, designed and organized.

Negatives:

-Microphone sound quality is not great. This is not a huge deal for me as I don't use the Mark ii for video.

-Would have liked more frames per second.

-The shutter has a very distinct sound - almost like a rubber band slapping a piece of aluminum foil. I don't care for the sound very much.

-AF points are all in relative center of frame, making it difficult to AF on elements outside of that spread.

Bottom line:

I am extremely happy with my two 5D Mark ii's. They are workhorses and are absolute necessities for my business. I give the camera a 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I have a Canon 600D with which I have been very happy, but I have always wanted a camera with a full frame sensor. It made sense to stay with Canon as most of my other lenses can be used. I'm very pleased with the results from this one, though I have much to learn to get the most from it. Only disappointment was that the software that came with it was intended for Asia and Oceania. I downloaded the software from the Canon website.

It's a 5DMkII. Too many people have reviewed it already. You know how good it is.

Yes, even used like the one I purchased.

Camera is amazing! In amazing condition, minus the fact that the USB port does not work. But besides that, it was exactly as described and the shipping was incredibly fast. I was super impressed by it's speed and I would order again.

I have owned this camera now for 2 months and recently shot a big wedding with it. I am very happy with the purchase and all round performance of this DSLR, the sensitive autofocus is amazing in a low light church and the ISO performance is unbelievable!

You get a solid, tough camera but without the weight of the 5D Mark III. OK there are only 11 focus points but I only ever use the center focus anyway, and this is VERY sensitive. I think this alone blows away any comparison to the 5d Mark II.

Another great feature is the silent shutter mode, perfect if you dont want to make too much noise at a shoot.

I would say this camera is a modern upgrade to the 5d Mark II, bridging the gap between the signifcant cost of the 5d mark III.

Overall I am very happy!

I got the used 5d mark 2. It is like new. When I got the stuff, got the sound was broken on the camera part. and

Engineer Said took only 22million shutter. So I'm really upset.

That is very very (*100) not goods.

No more, Do not buy.

Im bit disapointed. This item lacks autofocus in video mode:(( I thought that it will be there (even my old mobile have it!!(all promos screems continues autofocusing).. Most of tutorials online reviews its ISO comparison with D800. But i quess everyone tryes to shoot in the lowest ISO as posibile, so that factor is ok in other brands. And plus there is another option to increase the light (like aperature, shutter speed) extra (cheep light source) and etc. I thought i will use maximum of this cam, thought to shoot some video blogs, so that cammera could focus on my face while ill talk, without worring that ill get out of focus. But:(((( There is some reviews "i don't need this" "thats not an proffesional and bla bla" i quess who writes this don't have any clue how this future would improve their shooting and workflow. Especialy while shooting someone on the move. New update just released but again no continues autofocus in video mode:(((( I would recomend to think about Nikon cammeras twice, before buying this cam. Nikon is standing in front by measuring the futures-changes it brought to the table.

This camera is a solid camera. I however was not a fan of this camera. It was not very sharp, and the ISO capabilities are not as great as the Mk III. If you are considering this camera I would hold off and save the extra money for a Mk III.

I have been thinking about buying this camera for a while now and when I saw the price here on AMAZON I just could not resist.
I know it is a lot of money but if you think about it the advantages of this camera is great and over time it will pay for its self by
giving you quality pictures, imadjin 25,600 ASA ISO and 22.3 mb can you really ask for more at such a super price here from this seller delivery only a small amount.
The best thing though is the speed that you get it mine came only after the third day from my order and well packed recorded.
I would highly recomend this seller and would definately buy from him again just give me a chance.

I still haven't justified upgrading to the Mark III yet. This camera has all the functionality I need and more.

Canon 5d best camera going, however sold as new uk camera....arrived with language set to japanese, and a charger plug showing this is a grey import....took two days to get into English so I could use it and then found the lens was on lock down so wouldn't take pics. Finally got it working and it is good. Reported faults to seller, got no reply, and spoke to amazon who also e.mailed seller...got no reply. Great camera but not as it was described.

The 5D Mark II quickly became my primary camera over my older 1D Mark II. The sharpness and ISO performance simply were no comparison. The only time I still use my 1D Mark II is for sports or action, when I need fast and accurate autofocus and high frame rates. My primary use is studio portraits and events.Pros: Very very good low light performance. Without a doubt, it is well within the "good enough for pro work" and any improvements in future generations of EOS cameras are only icing on the cake. This also means that f/2.8 and even f/4 is very usable in low light, reducing the need for expensive ultrawide lenses. The full frame sensor is also very nice. 21 MP provides a lovely sharpness to the images. Solid construction. The HD video is a nice plus that I've used a few times, but it isn't a critical feature to me.Cons: Slow frame rate and poor autofocus make this impossible to use in any sort of action shots. The autofocus is my biggest complaint, only 9 AF points and they are all pretty poor. Only the middle one is cross-type, and even it doesn't perform all that well. If I was to upgrade to the Mark III, this would be the single biggest reason as the Mark III has a far superior AF system. I'm knocking off a full star for the autofocus alone. The frame rate is what it is: as advertised. Can't knock a star for that, but it is rather slow. I also don't like the mode selector knob. It's very very easy to bump and switch modes. I've done it a lot. I like the 60D's version which adds a lock button in the center of the knob. I wish they had done that with the 5D Mark II. I hear there's an upgrade, but it should be standard.Full frame and high resolution has a tendency to show every flaw in your lenses. No wiggle room, this camera demands L glass- which is actually a good thing in my opinion. It makes full use of high quality glass.All in all, quite nearly an ideal camera body. Very happy with it. Even though I did knock a star for the autofocus, since price is an issue I still haven't found reason enough to upgrade to the Mark III. That one star isn't worth the price difference to me.

The Canon 5D mark 3 , replaced my cropped sensor 600D and the difference is amazing - now having an opportunity to use 61 focus points and a full frame sensor makes life easier.
Nearly all the time I leave my ISO setting on AUTO with excellent results even in poor light , I won`t go into all the technical improvements as many others have already done so.
I bought mine from HDEW CAMERAS in Surry , England for £1889 with a 3 year warranty brand new - I would recommend anyone lokking for this body only to call them or check them out on line , you won`t be disappointed!
Their service is excellent - 24/48 courier delivery , for £10 extra (worth it) - to those people like myself that had their fingers burned on a previous purchase - these guys are the real deal.
I don`t get paid or have no connection to this company but I got what I paid for in a very short time!

I love Canons and the 5D does not disappoint.
It is my second. I use it for landscapes and portraits and the quality of the images are A1
Highly recommended - unless you need super-fast fps's then this is a great solid work-horse

I've been using a 5D Mark II since it's introduction back in late 2008. I preordered one as soon as it was available and have been using it since the beginning for wedding and portraits. I've used this camera along side the original 5D and 1Ds Mark II. I've also loaned a 1Ds Mark III on occasion.After extensive experience with this camera as well as lower end cameras and higher end cameras, my summary of the 5D Mark II is that they almost had a perfect camera. This camera is like the superstar athlete with a bum knee. The bum knee in this case is the focusing system. In order to protect sales of their higher end cameras, Canon intentionally held back the focusing capabilities of this camera relative to its higher end offerings. The focusing system is basically the same 9 point AF system as the original 5D had (which is the same as the 30D AF), only with faster hardware. The digic 4 processor will calculate focus predictions quicker than the previous 5D. The AF hardware is limited though and no more accurate than the 5D that came before it. For a $2500 camera this is very disappointing.The focusing system will give you the most trouble in these situations:- Using fast aperture lenses (F1.4 or so)- Using the outer focusing points- Using AI servo to track subjectsThe focusing system will give you the least trouble in these situations:- Using slower lenses- Using the center focus point- Using one-shot auto focusingSo the wildly varying opinions on this camera's focusing system exist because different users use the camera in different ways. Some users will love the focusing performance while others will loathe it. Odds are, they are both justified opinions.That said, this focusing system is better than any Canon camera costing less. If are you upgrading from any digital rebel or 10 series body (10D, 20D, 40D, etc), you will NOT be disappointed here. If you are using this as a second body to your 1-series camera, the focusing system will be a bit of a letdown. Remember that this camera costs about $2000 less than a current generation 1D camera.Now with that caveat out of the way, there is VERY little to pick at with this camera. Image quality is stunning (on par with the $7000 1Ds Mark III). Noise is low across the board. Even at higher ISOs (3200-6400), it cleans up very well in Adobe Lightroom and is very usable. H1 (12,800) and H2 (25,600) are mainly for "show" and are pretty bad. At lower ISOs, noise is exceptionally low and the images are sharp and clean. Even almost 4 years after its introduction, this camera is still has the best image quality money can buy for $2500 and that is saying a LOT.Functionally the camera is excellent. In-camera processing and image review is VERY quick (high speed CF cards recommended). Menus are accessible and easy to understand. Microadjustment makes ill focusing lenses far less problematic. HD video is beautiful and great for *basic* video needs (advanced videographers might look elsewhere). Build and durability is generally very good, though I wouldn't recommend dropping it. I've dropped mine twice (broke something both times) and had it repaired. Today it runs like a champ though. The automatic sensor cleaning generally works good, though I would recommend picking up a bulb blower for the stubborn particles.As a professional tool, this is an exceptional camera, just be aware of the limitations of the focusing system. Overall though Canon did an awesome job with this camera. Nearly 4 years after it's introduction, it's still the tool of choice for many professionals.

The Canon 5D MK III is everything the Canon 5D MKII could and should have been. People at Canon wisely listened to their users and made all the necessary adjustments. The improvements made are significant and useful. The Canon 5D MK III has been extensively reviewed and is unnecessary to repeat findings here. The Canon 5D MK III is a princely camera.

I absolutely love this camera. I have owned several DSRS (including Canon's xxD series bodies and Canon's 1 series), as well as Micro 4/3's (Panasonic), high end point and shoots (Canon's Gxx series and Nikon's P330s) along with several other bodies. This is the best camera I've ever owned. The image quality, when paired with quality glass, is nothing shy of magical.The only thing I miss from other bodies that I've owned in the past (or currently own) is frames per second, but in all other respects, this camera trumps everything else I own. It is always the first camera in my bag, and always the most used body at any event. I highly recommend it.If I owned it's successor, the 5D Mark III, I might recommend that higher, but I've never used it and I did not want to spend that $1,000 more that the later model costs.

I love the 5D mark ii, its the one camera I use most, it has a full frame sensor for large detailed photos, it shoots full frame 1080p HD video for deocumentry work, my 40D is a little smaller and has built in pop up flash that the 5D doesn't have, yet the 5D is bigger and a bit heavier, But the picture quality of the 5D is tops with its full frame image sensor. I bought this camera several years ago when prices were way higher , now you can get the 5D mark ii at incredibly low prices since the Mark iii is up there now in price. The Mark iii has a couple more pixels and is advanced more for video than for taking still photos, but I just don't justify the higher price difference of the Mark iii for the few advancements that it has.

I have always used Canon Cameras and they have never let me down. The quality of the camera plus the matching of Canon Lens is unbeatable.

This is a Mark II !!!! Of course it's awesome! It completely rocks! I have not used the Mark III, but I don't know of anyone complaining about a Mark II, EVER. Many of my colleagues have the same Mark II, and not one of them has ever had a single problem with the Mark II, nor have they upgraded to the Mark III because they felt it was any better.

Excellent ISO performance. Permits far more adjustment of contrast sharpness and noise reduction in Photoshop postprocessing than the 7D. Fast and accurate autofocus even with a 1.4x extender. Beautiful camera.

Was surprised to see this camera selling so cheap but took a chance and it paid off. Apart from the manuals being non-english, a quick download from the Canon site and i was sorted.
