Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

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.

This camera is definitely much much better than its sister 5D2. The focusing in this machine is quick and pleasing to use. Since last summer this has been my main workhorse and it does everything i wanted it to do, at least for now.

The only problem for me is it can be rather heavy with the grip on so probably not a camera for travellers.

You really can't go wrong with any of the Canon line in my opinion. I started my part-time photography business with a Rebel Xti (an entry level consumer digital SLR) and generated enough income to start an in-home studio and branch out into dance studio and high school senior photography as well! However, along with my series-L lenses, my portraits went from sellable to stunning when I started using this baby! The full-size sensor and higher resolution makes a huge difference in image clarity when you're processing in your image editing software. If you're used to Canon controls, you'll be right at home. In fact, you'll notice improvements on the old ideas like being able to change multiple settings on one screen with a toggle on the fly without navigating the menus. If you're not comfortable with the apeture-shutter-ASA triangle, though, you'll be uncomfortable with this camera as all the auto settings are gone; and there's no on-board flash. I think you'll find that with the ASA ranges this camera offers, you'll prefer to shoot without flash in most low-light situations. Even at night in the city lights, the images look so true to life that it will stun you. With this camera, you can truely "paint with light"!

I cannot say enough good things about this camera. As a former photographer getting back into the game, this camera blows me away. This will absolutely be all the camera most people will ever need.I have to qualify that by saying that I am primarily interested in landscape photography. The Mark III will be the better choice for sports, events or wildlife photographers. If you can afford it.There is currently a 1000 to 1500 dollar price difference between the Mark III and Mark II bodies.You really have to consider what you are going to use it for.For me. The Mark II consistently excels.PS: I bought my Mark II with the 24-105 L IS lens last year in August for less than you can currently get it anywhere online. What does that tell you?Yeah. It's becoming more scarce but there is still strong demand because it's a classic.I also have to issue a warning. If you own this, you might also succumb to L lens lust.I have, and it's very expensive, but very gratifying.

its full frame sensor easy to use with lenses, the megapixels are great! great image quality in video. could I say more... yes, am very happy with this camera.

I am going through withdrawal from shooting film... May be this will help... great product although very complicated to operate and learn... Update September 2013. This is one fantastic instrument. This is my first significant digital camera after having converted from film to digital. Because I was used to working with a completely manual Hasselblad 500 CM, I found the feature set intimidating. After really learning digital photography from a conceptual standpoint, I was able to structure a workflow with the features that were important to my photography. Basically, I shoot exactly the same ways as I did with film; I use RAW imaging while shooting entirely on manual. This allows me to produce imaging files that I process in Adobe Lightroom; i.e. it's like shooting film and then processing in the darkroom. The camera is capable of producing high quality images that can easily be enlarged to 16X20 when shot at 100 ASA (just like film). I suspect that I can actually go to 24X30. I am extremely pleased with what I am able to accomplish. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to accomplish serious photography....

Having made the transition from medium format professional film cameras to cropped sensor digital (i.e. the T2i), I was looking forward to upgrading to professional digital equipment. Canon's 5D Mark II has dampened my enthusiasm for going into the full frame world.Fully understanding that the Mark II has a less densely packed sensor than do cropped frame sensors, it is natural to anticipate that the Mark II images will be a little less sharp. Of course, the trade off was supposed to be that the larger Mark II sensor would allow for greater enlargement without pixilation or noise while delivering a flattering portrait image. That was the theory.It must be assumed that my copy was defective and therefore not typical of Mark II quality overall, nonetheless the fuzziness of so many of the images was grossly disappointing. Originally guessing that maybe the 24-105 f4 L was the culprit I purchased additional lenses (e.g. 50mm f1.8, 70-300, 28-70). Some improved the sharpness situation (which did not speak well for the f4 L), and some did not. Even making the AF micro-adjustments did not help.Ultimately, I concluded that the AF was performing erratically. That problem coupled with an apparently very soft copy of the f4 L and the less-dense full frame sensor, the net outcome was a great number of unusable out-of-focus images. This was particularly acute on shots beyond 15 feet.What are my five Mark II disappointments? Defective AF, overly soft copy of the 24-105 f4 L, heavy weight of the Mark II, no real gain over the T2i in image quality when enlarging images, and the loss of my esteem for the quality control efforts of Canon on their professional line.However, Canon should get credit, in the form of 2 stars, for making a less expensive full frame DSLR. They also get some credit for the bright viewfinder on the Mark II and its large LCD.I have returned the Mark II and its companion f4 L lens (my appreciation to Amazon for their integrity and standing behind their sales). Instead of upgrading to the full frame line I am just going to buy another T2i (through Amazon) and hope that it will also be as tack-sharp as the one I already own. Of course the good part of this experience is that the EF lenses I bought for the Mark II are still useful on the T2i because of Canon`s foresight in making the EOS mounts substantially interchangeable.

I've got nothing but love for this camera. I've been looking at it for years and finally got one. Huge upgrade from the T3i in durability, flexibility, and versatility. I can't believe how great photos look at high ISOs -got a beautiful shot at iso 4000 that I NEVER would have been able to do on my old camera. This body is legendary for a reason.

I love the camera it is a big upgrade from the my T3i. The images are great and the video is awesome. I added a battery grip to the camera that works fine.

This is a great camera. I upgraded from a crop frame Canon to the MKII and I am very happy with this camera. It is a workhorse and is a great investment.

I was looking for a back-up camera and it was either another 5D Mark II, or 5D Mark III. I went with the Mark II again, and here is why:1. Even though the Mark III has 51 Auto Focus points, vs the 9 points on the Mark II, I use the center focus anyway, so that was not important.2. Mark III has 6 fps, vs 3.9 on the Mark II. This is not important to me either, since I don't shoot sports, or things I need that type of burst rate.3. 1.2 more megapixels per shot. No biggie, since I already shoot at medium size raw files. I'm not sure how many people actually shoot at 21, but I hope they have large externals! lol4. Mark III has better video capabilities. Since I don't use my camera as a camcorder, (and I can't imagine doing it anyway, but I'll probably end up doing so, since that's how it goes when I'm like, "Why would anyone do that...") it nothing to me.5. You can now do HDR with the Mark III. Nothing special to me, since I use NIK HDR anyway, and on top of that, I can handhold the Mark II for the 3 shot exposure and do just fine without alignment problems. I used to be so careful to always use a tripod and move to manual focus after setting focus, but now I see it's a waste of time. Anyway, no need for HDR for me.6. A much higher ISO with the Mark III. But again, I rarely shoot over 800 ISO; and the bad news for the Mark III is that there is no difference in noise from the Mark II to the Mark III at up to 800 ISO.7. You are going to pay $1300 more for the Mark III, and if you are in my shoes, get no better camera. I took that extra $1300 and bought the 135mm 2.0L with a nice B&W 72mm triple coat UV filter, and still had $200 left in my pocket to buy some other equipment!Hope this helps, and please don't take this as a slam on the Mark III. It's just not worth the money to upgrade for me (and if money were no object, I'd have done it. Heck, I'd have gone with the 1D). For some people, it will be worth it.

This is a great camera! I am so pleased with the picture quality. I am not a pro but my pictures look great!

I'm sure you've read through review after review, so I won't bore anyone with technical specs. I wanted to upgrade to a full frame and couldn't decide which to get. At the time the new 5D Mark III just came out and the 6D was on it's way. Amazon had this for a great price and I couldn't pass it up. Obviously you can't go wrong with this camera and I've been completely happy with it!

i have only two lens, 17-40, and 85. so it works for me fine. shooting of video with this camera is amazing

I bought this a year or two ago before the 5DmkIII was released and it's the only camera I use out of a small pile of Canon bodies. The only reason I still use a crop sensor camera is for the EF-S 17-55mm and extra distance out of my 400mm.

I am not a professional photographer but I do enjoy taking pictures. The is my third DSLR and it is my first full frame camera. For the amount of money I spent and for being an Apple iPhone users for the past five years, I thought Canon would make the UI easier for users. This camera was designed by people who obviously were not thinking out side of the box. I would recommend Canon create a simply to use UI for smartphones and relate all user preferences and commands via the smart phone to the camera. I would love to simply speak to Siri and ask her to take my voice commands and communicate to the camera using USB, Wifi, or Bluetooth methods. The picture data would also be stored on the smartphone instead of the camera. That way, pictures can be easily sent to your Facebook, Twitter, or blogs. I am currently getting over 8 MBPS upload speed with AT&T's LTE system. This means sending huge amount of data is very possible right now.Some of you may laugh at my review. Give it another five years.12/1/2012- updateNews released on 11/29/2012 By REUTERSSouth Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung Electronics Co is taking aim at its Japanese rivals with an Android-powered digital camera that allows users to swiftly and wirelessly upload pictures to social networking sites.The Galaxy camera lets users connect to a mobile network or Wi-Fi to share photographs and video without having to hook up the camera to a computer.Wireless transfer to social networking sites by a camera. Check.Maybe I don't have to wait five years after all.

Bought this wondering if there were any issues but it arrived as described and is a great improvement on my last Canon. OK so the next model up has some enhancements but Value for Money this camera is the tops

I assume if your reading this, you're not that knowledgeable about cameras yet, which is fine. The Canon 5DII is a professional camera. Part of why it's expensive is that it's built tough; you know you have something in your hands. It's used in Hollywood to shoot low budget movies (with professional movie lenses). It has more features than most can ever use. Autofocus is instant. With a good lense, it's all you would ever need in a digital camera.

I'm not going to dwell on why I am rating this camera 5 stars. Tons of other reviewers have already done that.Canon 5D Mark II is an iconic piece of equipment that should satisfy the need of any photographer. I have been drooling over this camera for years, but when the price came down substantially, I just could not resist in pulling the trigger & I am glad I did. This camera is simply outstanding & the pictures I am getting with it are as amazing. In addition to this, I have also taken several videos with it & the quality of the video is very impressive.Canon 5D Mark II is also one of the main cameras used in the White House by the President's Photographer.This camera has also been used in the following movies among many others:Iron Man 2Captain AmericaBlack SwanHouse, Season 6, FinaleRed TailsSearching for SonnyAct of ValorLockdownA Beautiful BellyReverieParaNormanIn a nutshell, if this camera is good enough for Hollywood & the White House, it should be good enough for you.I highly recommend it & I would rate it 6 stars if I could.

Let me start out by saying I've owned this camera for a year & a half and have shot thousands of images with it. I "upgraded" to this camera from the original 5D & at first was in love, but that quickly faded and over the past year has grown into a frustrating experience.Pros:-Video. The video is STUNNING and one of the only reasons why I'm not selling this immediately. It's gorgeous when coupled with a "L" lens & produces professional videos with the right video equipment.-LCD screen is fabulous & a huge step-up from the 5D.-ISO. High ISO capabilities with little to no noise. A HUGE improvement from the 5D. Reason #2 for me keeping this camera.Con:-Focusing system. Seriously, one of the WORST I've ever seen. Images are constantly out of focus, and even images that are "in" focus are lacking a little bit of "uumph" that I get with my 5D (see below). Nothing is ever tack sharp or creamy. I even sent the camera back to Canon for them to tell me that no, nothing is wrong with the focus system even though I'm constantly getting out of focus images with my L lenses. Yep, even sent the L lenses back to Canon too for them to be check, all with the same prognosis that "no, nothing is wrong with them."-HORRIBLE focusing is really the only con to this camera, but it's a huge con that totally ruins my love and respect for this camera. I'll explain more below.A little story...As I mentioned above, I've been using the MKII for over a year. I've had the focus problems but continued using the camera because I shoot a lot of brides in dark rooms & loved the high ISO capabilities. I had enough images "in-focus" for me to continue using the camera, just thought that maybe the issue was me not getting everything in TACK sharp focus.Fast forward to yesterday, when a friend was shooting a promo video for me & used my MKII for the video. It was a just a "fun" photo shoot, so I used my 5D to take the portraits while my friend shot video on the MKII. I didn't think anything was out of the ordinary with the images until I looked at the images on my computer. Most of the images were TACK sharp. The colors were super bright, super crisp, super creamy and almost edible. The images were a world's difference from the softness of images from my MKII. Now I know it's not a problem with me or my lenses -- the problem is my MKII and it's beyond HORRIBLE auto-focus system. I told a couple friends about this & they also said they recently did a focus test with their 5D vs. 5D MK II and the 5D came out way ahead. I'm now switching my 5D to be my main camera & my 5D MKII as my backup camera & for use in high ISO situations. Such a bummer and letdown on a $2,000+ camera. As soon as the replacement comes out I'll be ditching this.So, the camera gets 3 stars. One for video, one for ISO, and one for better construction & weather sealing. It is useable and has the potential to produce amazing images, but after looking at images from my 5D, it's just not the best out there.Take my advice and PLEASE wait for the replacement version of this camera. The auto-focus is really unacceptable for professionals -- such a shame to waste the video & other amazing features of this camera. Please fix this soon Canon.

A truly excellent camera for the professional or advanced amateur, with fast and accurate auto focus facilities producing outstanding prints

There are enough detailed reviews but I believe my summary would be;

- The 5D Mark III is a massive step up from the 5D Mark II, so if you are in doubt don't be, go and buy the Mark III

- The 5D Mark III with a good lens on it is superb I particularly like the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM.

- There is much specualtion about whether the Nikon D800 is better than the Canon 5D Mark III and the answer is that as an all round camera the 5D Mark III is probably the better camera but for stills and detail the D800 is very, very good.

- You will occasionally hear of the Canon 7D being mentioned in the company of the 5D Mark III and Nikon D800, it does not come close.....

UPDATE - I used the 5D M3 for astro photography and the images are stunning. I did not find the D800's sensor was as good in this aspect of photography.

So far I have had a great experience with the Mark II. My only complaint would be that the focus for action photography could be better. I know this has been talked about a million times in other reviews so I will leave it alone.

This camera has been on my list a long time. My only regret with this camera is that I didn't make the jump sooner. My previous (now backup) camera is an EOS Rebel XT, so I had AEB and RAW access, though, with the 5D I finally converted to 100% RAW shooting.I still use the AEB quite a bit for HDR photos, though the only drawback with Canons is the 3-shot limit compared to Nikon's 5/7/9. Not needed for most photos, but there are situations in HDR that would benefit from more exposures. To compensate, it is really simple to take 3, then adjust the bracket without moving the camera a noticeable amount and add another 3/6 the delete the overlaps in post production.LOVE the HD video though I haven't experimented with it enough to fully appreciate it. Did an HD shoot where I quickly grabbed some HD video and that was sweet/effortless with all the quality.Obviously I am benefiting from the full sensor and L series lenses. So nice to shoot in low light, handheld without a flash. And even my timed exposures need considerably less time, resulting in less movement/greater ability to shoot in wind. Being on the ocean, wind is almost always a factor.But the BIGGEST JOY I have found with this camera is LIVE VIEW mode. I use it on nearly every shot and because of it, I now shoot almost exclusively manual focus, especially for landscape/product shots. I now have utmost control to decide on a small detail to focus on the subjects front/back edge or square in the middle. This is the first time since the 80/90 days of film that I feel the post-production focus was as tight as I envisioned during the shoot.Last night, I picked up the Rebel to teach the kids and I was amazed how small the Rebel LCD screen was so, clearly, I am happy with the 5D LCD - it's easy to take the size/quality/clarity for granted.I also bought the Zeikos ZE-CBG5DII Multi-Power Battery Pack for Canon 5D Mark II and love it with the 5D. The 5D's battery indicator menu is excellent showing both batteries, remaining power and shots used for each. In the past full month, I shot 1000-ish RAW shots (plus some light video) in heat/cold on 1 charge each so I am very happy with battery life.Best camera I've owned/used to date.
