Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

I am a Landscape Photographer and I made the jump from Cropped sensor (40D) to the full frame a year and a half ago.. I Love my 5DMKII. The cost of the MKII over the MKIII is what spured me into buying this camera plus the addition of the 24-105 f-4 L series lens. Even when I upgrade my camera the lens will stay with me. 21mp is more than enough for large prints. If there is anymore of these cameras available you wont go wrong purchasing one..

Had a little trouble with the shipping, but it sounds like it was an unfortunate series of events. Once the camera arrived everything was great. Takes beautiful pictures. Need to save and invest in decants lenses to go with it. Focus can be hard to get at times. But it takes shots so quickly that it doesn't really matter.

My first Mark II was flooded when the housing opened under water and was ruined. I dive a lot and take a lot of photos, so I needed a good camera and the Mark II is perfect for me.

General overview (low light):

Coming from the 60D (which is a stellar camera in its own right), I was blown away by this cameras Image Quality. With the 60D I found I could only use 50% crops for critical work. With the 5D Mark II, I found 100% crops were so detailed I could use them no problem. Additionally the low light capability wipes the floor with the 60D. The differences are night and day. With the 60D I would see noise creeping in at around 800 or so ISO. 1600 was the max I felt comfortable shooting in, with 3200 requiring heavy use of noise reduction software resulting in much less detail. With the 5D Mark 2 ISO 3200 is much better than the 60D's 1600 ISO. I can actually shoot at 6400 for less critical work and it looks much better than the 60D at 3200. The retention of detail and the way the camera squashes noise is very impressive. If you have the coin this camera is a rock star. However! The 5D Mark III is set to be announced on Feb 28th 2012 or within the week of Feb 28th 2012, so you may want to hold off and grab this sucker at a steal of a price. If you need the camera now, you wont be disappointed. Another thing to note.

Auto Focus:

I've read a lot of people complaining that this camera only has 1 cross type focus point. I want to say that most people use the center focus point anyway, so it really is a bit of an overblown issue.

Canon vs Nikon:

The D700 has better focusing. But unless you're doing sports this is a non issue. The low light is better than the Canon, but you only have 12.1 megapixels. It BETTER have better low light capabilities than the 5D Mark II. But honestly, at only 1/3rd of a stop better in low light giving up around 2x the resolution seems a bit silly. It is argued that the only time you will need the extra resolution is when printing billboard sized images. This does not factor in cropping at all. If you want to crop your 5d Mark II image to say 100% you can do that while maintaining stellar levels of detail. With the D700 you're left with a lot left detail. Another thing any prospective buyer should do is look at the prices and quality of their potential lenses. I would start at the 24-70, then the 70-200 to cover your zoom range. The canons being cheaper and the 70-200 IS II being MUCH better (probably the best lens on the market) Then compare primes, the Cannon has the 85 1.2 V2 vs the Nikkor.... 85 1.4? You can't find a Nikkor 1.2 and the Canon 1.2 is only ~$100 more than the 1.4 Nikkor. The canon has a 50 1.2 the Nikon has a 50 1.4. Again Nikkor doesn't even have a 1.2 lens.

One last thing about Nikon vs Canon. Movie mode. I know I know, but if you EVER want to record a movie, EVER, you cannot on a D700 and you get commercial level videos on the 5D Mark II. Not just adequate movies, but box office quality movies. That's a MASSIVE!!!! improvement.

The only reason I'm giving this camera (Which I've owned about 3 years now & LOVE) 1 star, is to bring attention to it's current price. of $2,800If you want to purchase this camera, then DEFINITELY get the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. It's currently going for $3,000 on amazon.Although a huge purchase for me, I'm so tempted to get the Mark III also, specifically because of the addition of the focal points. So disappointed in the Mark II only having 9. There seems to be quite a few other beneficial changes to the Mark III. Just read up on it.The prices are just too close together for such substantial changes between Mark II & Mark III.Definitely go for the Mark III, unless the Mark II goes below $2,000

Awesome Camera, Previously owned 40D & 7D, First obvious Improvement was lack of Noise in less than perfect shooting conditions, Main Lens used are Canon 24-105 & 70-300, Have read some comments on batteries I have a Meike Grip with 2 Genuine Canon batteries & Batteries hold charge for weeks. My only downer is weight but happy to put up with that for sheer Quality of this Camera

Owning the excellent 5D MkII, made me more than curious to find out what improvements had been made in the MkIII.

I know a lot of people were initially disappointed that it did not have the headline grabbing specifications of the Nikon D800 but on closer inspection the changes are all that we really required.

In particular the AF system has been improved out of all recognition but then let's face it you could not get worse than 9 points with just one cross type point. The new system locks focus instantly even in the dimmest of light and it tracks objects as they move across the screen flawlessly. You can also set up different focus set ups for portrait and landscape just as you can in the 7D - that is very useful.

Other worthwhile improvements come in the speed that the camera achieves. Although I never found the MkII sluggish, the MkIII just feels snappier. I'm not a machine gun shooter so the increased frame rate is not important but the speed it writes to the card is. The DIGIC 5+ processor really is faster than the old DIGIC 4 it replaced just as Canon claim.

The addition of a second card slot is a great benefit. Although I have never had a card fail, I know plenty who have so the ability to record to two cards is good insurance.

The ability to shoot at even higher ISO speeds than with the MkII and still get clean results is a huge bonus to those like me who prefer natural light to flash.

There are also other subtle improvements like the lock on the mode dial, the quick menu button, a larger viewing screen which matches the normal format, 100% viewfinder and the start stop button for video.

Put these things together and they make the upgrade worthwhile.

UPDATE 5 weeks on and less than 700 pictures taken, the camera has developed Error 30 which means the shutter is stuck and needs replacing. Since it is outside the 30 days, I do not qualify for a replacement so will have to send it off to Canon for repair.

I'm a photojournalistic photographer. We mostly shoot weddings and the very first time I posted pictures using this camera I had many people comment on how much better my work looked! It is a great camera for indoor and outdoor and reasonably priced considering the huge jump up it was in quality compared to the 40d (which is what I had been using). We loved it so much we bought a second 5d mark ii body the same year!

There isn't much to say about this camera that hasn't already been said.If I could give a 3.5 star review, I would.Images are great, unless you need to rescue an under-exposed shot. (Shadow banding shows up after about 1.5 stops of fill, even at ISO 100)AF is enough for portraiture or still life, but for anything serious like concerts or sports, you may get frustrated with focus recompose techniques.Battery life is plenty, video is good enough, though not exactly competitive in features these days (1080p at 60fps would be nice, and a headphone jack would help a lot)The AF and Dynamic range don't stand up to its Nikon competitors, but the colors are spectacular, it's very sturdy and comfortable in the hand, and reliable.

This is a great camera for those interring further into DLSR photography. I love it's feel, the placement and ease of using the various adjustment buttons. It takes beautiful photos, even if I can't. The only drawback and Canon figured this out when they introduced the Mark III is the number of focusing points. This camera is limited and is a little difficult during auto focus, but once you learn its drawbacks you can work around them. Canon quit making this camera when they introduced the Mark III and that is a shame, it's a great all around camera for jumping into finer photography..If you decide on it, don't be afraid to look for a refurbished, or even used.

just what I wanted, everything that was promised. Great camera, great pictures and quality, did not disappoint. Perfect for the price.

I have used the Canon 60D and 5D extensively and this 5D Mk2 is better than both. I have not used a Mk3 so I cannot comment on that but the Mk2 has impressed me so far. It has higher resolution than my 60D, and significantly higher resolution than my 5D. Controls and menus are much improved compared to the 5D, and as easy to use as my 60D. An added bonus is the 5D Mk2 uses the same battery as the 60D so there is no need for me to acquire extra batteries. I am impressed so far.

Wonderful fit, for what I require in a product and I think this product is worth the price and when it comes to saving, Amazon is GREAT! ON A SCALE 1-10 the product rate as a 10, highly recommend, overall this is a great product.

This item Did not fit properly could not screw on. Better off with a real one. I would not recommend

What can I say, Sorry Nikon, you loose this Canon kicks Butt and takes names. The photos are off the chain !! Great Job Canon!

This camera is phenomenal. I love the quality, the weight takes some getting used to if you come from lighter prosumer/consumer cameras. But, every time I use it, I fall in love over and over again. Great! Great with lowlight as well.

I have been using Canon products for many years and not been disappointed, the 5D Mk lll maintains this standard. Just a phenomenal piece of kit

Excited to finally be using a full frame camera. Bought it used...feels new! New or used you'll enjoy your move to full frame!

I should have bought this camera earlier. It can do miracles. Exceptional quality. It's in a class of its own.

I bought this camera for my Photography Business,very high ISO and low noise. I've had great results and customers come back for more. I also shoot outdoors of nature, and I can enlarge with breath-taking results. I also have a T3i for a back-up camera which does well in a pinch or for secondary angles with my assistant. (weddings) Video isn't all that... will probably have to get a REAL Video rig for video. The camera can do it, but... it's best for stills.

Pretty awesome! Just couldn't stand having only 9-AF points. Mark-III is clearly superior. Great for whoever wants to entry into elite camera world.

I was coming from a T1i, which I purchased back in 2009 and sold it to buy a T3i. Nonetheless, I longed for the 5D Mark II forever and finally convinced my wife to justify the purchase. (I told her it helps me take better pictures, but who doesn't?) My wife reluctantly agreed and we took a deep plunge to purchase this with the 24-105mm f/4 L IS lens kit. Shipping from Amazon was fast as usual and upon opening the box, I felt the golden glow around the new device. Immediately I attached the lens and took a few test shots. Upon looking through the viewfinder, I noticed a very big difference. The viewfinder was large and bright as the viewfinder from the T1i or the T3i even didn't come close. Shutter noise sounds much subdued (and better) when compared to the T1i and T3i. I will not go in to technical details as the other reviewers have done that.The construction is solid and I felt right at home with the controls. Although I am used to the directional buttons on the right side of the LCD display on the Rebel series, I felt right at home with the Quick Dial and joystick. The ON/OFF/L switch takes some getting used to as the Rebel series has the on-off lever right next to the Main Settings Dial. The screen is the same as the Rebel T1i as so it seems. The metal construction blows the Rebels out of the water. Lack of a pop up flash is a con, but I really didn't use the pop up flash on the Rebels anyway so it really doesn't bother me.The main things I love about this camera is the amazing build quality, full frame, large and bright viewfinder and the pictures the L lens takes. The camera is nice and large and is perfect for my big hands. The most amazing feature is the amazing image quality. The image quality has blown me away and this camera can do amazing things like shoot in low light, produce amazing bokeh even with the f/4 and the IS helps to reduce camera shake. The top LCD is SO convenient as I have been using Rebels without it. However, the most satisfying aspect of owning this camera is that people around you notice it and ask you about it. Either way, you purchased this camera to take great pictures and be envied!Believe me, I probably read all the reviews before I pulled the trigger and debated for months before finally deciding to take the plunge. I was torn between the 7D and the 5D Mark II for a very long time and I decided to go with the 5D Mark II because of the Full Frame although the 7D was MUCH newer and contained newer technology. For the type of photography I do, the 5D was perfect for me as I didn't have a need for a 19point AF system or a need for a blazing continuous speed shooting. What decidedly got me to get the 5D Mark II was Kai W's review on Digital Rev TV and boy am I glad I did.PROS:+Amazing build quality/construction+Image quality+High ISO capability+Full Frame+Comes with L lens!+It's a 5D Mark II! What's there not to like?CONS:-Price (but all the features make this camera a worthwhile purchase)I have bought the BG-E6 Battery Grip, Extra LP-E6 Battery Pack, B+W Haze MC Filter 77mm and a EF 70-200mm IS f/2.8 II L (will have a review for that soon) to compliment the Mark II. I haven't regretted purchasing the 5D Mark II for a bit. Now if the 5D Mark III comes out, then it is a different story.

Time to forget about Nikon as an overly hyped "has been" who have just sat on their laurels too long banking on their reputation as Canon has moved forward. Seems that they were strong competitors and Nikon just stopped "playing" while Canon pushed ahead. Anyway... your loyalty should be to your art and your photos... not some brand name. Right?Look at this... the Ultrasonic Motor (USM) (in Canon lenses)... a theory on paper till Canon took it and implemented it in a practice in their cameras... "dead silent"(Public candid shots -- no one can hear you are focusing on them). This camera even has a silent shutter mode! Just think... no more constitutionally clueless people thinking they have exclusivity to their own image in a public setting trying to infringe on your 1st Amendment asking, "Did you just take my picture?!!" LOLBiomimetics... reverse engineered nature--God's design... Canon does this... the L series II lenses are based on reverse engineered Moth eyes to counter flaring!This camera is a piece of the same... incredible. I got one... have used it for 6 months and I am totally FLOORED. Focus is dead on... features are incredible and I am striving to learn and use every single one! A few I will mention... custom white balance reference (get the Mennen white cap or cheaper model her... as low as $2). Digic 4 processor can do some darkroom work on-the-fly... lightening (burnishing) dark area to bring out details. Lens distortion compensation... the camera knows what Canon lens you have attached and if you are using a wide angle, etc. it can automatically compensate for vignetting (darkening in the corners) and barrel/pincushion distortion! The camera can do various types of "bracketing"... here is something that blows me away: Say you want to take a long depth of field shot and keep the foreground and background all in focus. Say... your kids on the playground with other kids... you want to get all the kids in focus from just a few feet away to infinity. Impossible you say? What you do is set focus bracketing to take a shot every so many meters... I use Hyperfocal Distance calculations to do this based on the 6.4um CMOS CCD pixel size... may take 10 shots or so and "stack" them to get a paradoxical photo where the entire photo is in focus. The impossible can be done with this camera! Great bokeh (soft out of focus backgrounds) when you want them too.I put the 24mm L-series f/1.4 USM II lens on this camera as a "leave on" walkabout lens. It is prime focus... edge to edge sharper than anything I have ever seen. I also put a Hoya DMC 77mm UV filter on that to protect the "eyeball" lens on the front. Comes with a tulip hood and great post production processing software that is amazing in itself.Now... you might read about Auto Focus (AF) problems... naught! (unless you get a bad copy... then send it back). But the AF is dependent on your settings and light conditions, the lens attached, and also the target you are focusing on. High contrast lines that are brightly lit focus faster and how fast depends on the lens you are using. When you get the camera test this to get this question behind you. Put a lousey lens on this camera and you may have slow focus. At f/1.4 the camera will AF on things I can't see with my own eyes (ISO to 6400...and beyond).I think it is always best to buy the body... then the lens that fits your particular need. Full frame... 35mm CMOS format and the camera will do 1080p video too at 30 fps (with fast CF Flash Memory). Incredible... simply incredible. I don't do Nikon anymore... they have a lot of catching up to do... oh yeah... one more thing:Canon has open sourced its scripting language so that there is a Canon Hacker Development Kit (search CHDK on Google). There is talent world wide working on very very cool scripts (custom programs that run inside your camera) to customize your camera to your specific application! One I saw recently was a script that looks for pixel changes and reacts. You can set your camera on a tripod on a flower bud about to open and instead of taking a shot ever hour... take shots only when the camer recongizes pixels changes of X amount. I have goose bumps...

I have had the 5d mark ii for just about two months now. And my goodness what a difference in having this body compares. I came off of using a Canon Rebel XTI since 2006. I heavily used the XTI for travel photos landscapes, indoors, museums, family functions and personal wedding photos; along with a 28-135mm IS lens.

I'll compare what upgrading from the "beginner's DLSR" to this semipro/pro body, using casual language since I'm nowhere near being a pro, but take my photography seriously as a hobby.

Size & Weight
- The 5d markii is significantly bigger all around. The weight is more substantial and the materials used seem more sturdy and solid. The xti looks almost like a toy compared to the 5dmarkii. Don't let this size scare you away, I see many of people traveling with the 5d body or 7d/60d which are about the same size, and the feeling of the camera is just very nice to hold.

Crop vs. zoom
- It has taken me quite some time to learn how the crop factor on the XTI affects the image vs. the full frame. I'm currently shooting with the same 28-135mm lens, and the same lens on the 5d body is significantly wider. What I mean by this is you get much more of what you are looking at on the view finder without having to step backwards to fit more into the frame. (After using the xti for so long, I hate to think of how much I have missed out on my images without the full frame.

Speed
- The sound and speed of the shutter are different on this camera. The shutter sounds a bit more violent, but the speed in between exposures is quite noticeable. I recently took some outside photos of my 3 year old niece and I was able to get much more of her facial expressions just using the single shot mode and still got more shots in than before.

Camera bag
- if you have a small camera bag (single dslr) for an xti sized body, you will likely need to upgrade your bag since the body and eventually, the lens you attach will no longer fit.

Image quality and size
The full frame camera and bump of 20 mb per image are huge when you want to crop and zoom and still be able to print out a clear image. Graininess is less when you look closer at the image, but I'm sure that will improve even more after I purchase a 28-70mm f2.8 L lens.

Menus & wheel
If you are a pretty seasoned user of the XTI style menus, the 5D MKII menus did not take very long to figure out. The wheel does make scrolling through menus and thumbnails easier. The exposure and focus point buttons are still taking some time to get used to (position on the body wise)

LCD screen
This has a beautiful screen attached and you can truly see what the image will look like when you get home and on your actual computer monitor. The colors are more rich and deep in color. The screen is bright and very clear.
Video
Have not taken a lot of video on this body yet, but I did notice you can't have IS switched on while filming, otherwise, you hear the motor running in the video.
Summary
If you can afford a body of this caliber, take your photography seriously, and value the people or things you are taking pictures of, I think that alone is worth the $. Time and again, I wish I had a better camera body to capture those moments like birthdays and be able to print or send large images of the moments. Having that option is fantastic.
