Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

I lusted after it forever... rented it a couple times. Have shot with it for over a year and simply love the gorgeous images and stunning video!Kinda sad that they have discontinued it..... hope it's offspring can carry on the great quality!

This is the 4th 5D mark II that I have purchased. I am a full time photographer and use Canon exclusively. I have used the 5D series cameras and will be upgrading to the mark III soon.My only gripe with this body is the autofocus sensitivity. The mark III is much better, but at a price point that is nearly double...or at least was when I wrote this review. I had over 290,000 clicks on the last 5D2 that I retired, which is why I purchased this one again...

Anyone who knows about this camera knows its great! Bought this to use for more professional jobs like weddings and portraits and I cant say enough how much better this is that what I previously had! Yes I could have bought the 5d3 or 6d but for the price with a lens I at 2499 I was more than happy and will be for a long time. Oh and it was more fun buying this brand new and opening it and being the first person to use it (I used to only buy used camera equipment)

I purchased this camera to upgrade my gear. At the time I was shooting with a Canon Rebel Xsi. A few years with that, I was looking for something with lots more power and control... Without spending Mark III money.I can't see myself going back to a cropped sensor camera. This camera is a solid build. Feels great to hold. The images look fantastic, sharp and clear. This camera is great for low light situations too.

it is really exceeding my expectation of taking photograph pictures.im beginner but i feel im really professional.... you too a professional

I got to this camera maybe a year or two late. Still comparable to the rest of the cameras out there. I use it mainly for video, so until blackmagic is more widely available, I won't be going away from it anytime soon.

Nice camera. The back display really gives you an accurate view of the shots you've taken. I've used a 24-70l and 16-35l on it and the photos are of excellent quality. A good quality camera for the semi-pro photographer building on his equipment.

If you are a canon user with a significant investment in L-Glass from previous crop bodies, you will want to consider getting this camera or the next iteration of it. This is a full frame camera that provides great resolution for awesome cropping or wide angle shots. Although the current AF system is old, it is still very good. You will need to make sure your glass and body are at their optimum calibration as it is possible that even new out of the box to be slightly off. The factory will calibrate any Canon products within the first year for free. I suggest that you take them up on the deal. The only cost is your shipping to them. They are fast and good at what they do. Be aware that every lens can be off in either direction from zero being a front or back focussing issue. The body itself can be off, so do make sure the setup is right before doing any comparisons. All EOS models now offer micro adjustments to limit the need for sending out for calibration if you don't have the ability to part with your equipment for a few days.The 5D Mark II takes stunning crisp photos. I've tested with 24-70 2.8L USM, 70-200 2.8L USM, 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.8 with very good results. The HD video is a bonus. The lack of autofocus is not the worst trade off. The option to take clips of video when needed is nice though.If you are on the fence about brand to choose and have not invested to much in one brand or another, do look into both Nikon, and Canon for the best options for you. The extra focus points are really nifty on the d700, but the lack of resolution and HD video option on the canon side is a big plus. Those moving up from existing Canon Digitals will appreciate the faster and more accurate focus that comes with all 9 points being in focus with hidden focus point assisting the crisp focus to the corners. I'm very pleased with this model and the options for indoor and outdoor shooting. ISO is so good that 3200 is better than 1600 on my 50D. The only issues I've had are with the slower continuous shooting FPS, and the flimsy shutter sound that does not inspire confidence in comparison to my 50D's fast and bold thuds. Ironically, the 5D2's capable of locking on to the targets in low light even with a delayed shutter will capture action more reliably than the 50D. I shoot a lot of indoor night shots in poorly lit gyms that the 5D2 outshines the 50D on the keeper rate with the identical lenses. The 50D has become my outdoor maximum reach tool. Even then the crops from the 5D2's are better. Its just the case where I carry the contrasting distance lenses to avoid missing shots altogether.A great camera that is up there with the really high end SLR's with a much lower entry level. Glass is still expensive but you can keep that for ever if you take care of it.Edit:After several years of pure magic from this camera and replacing the 50D with a 7D. The 7D is the next best thing to the 5D2 when the 5D3 is not an economical addition to your gear. The 5D2 has an incredible ISO range with such great image clarity, even with action shots in less than perfect lighting. Shooting side by side with the 7D has me wishing I just had 2 5D2's. This camera is the most affordable professional Full Frame camera on the market. It is still that great after all these years. Lenses go up in price, while bodies come down in price. Always get the glass first.

The camera simply rox.

I got rid of my D800 and I know what Im saying.

One thing that you SHOULD remember:

BUY IMMEDIATELY SCREEN PROTECTOR FOR IT (thicker = better).

The screen on canon is EASY scratchable (why its not a gorilla? no idea) - you have been warned.

Not worth spending the extra $ for the 5DMiii. Used that money towards a few accessories: a tripod, flash, shutter release, bag, etc.

OMG this is the best camera i ever bought. so fast and sharp image. great 21.1MP it's a lot better than 7d and t3i. great night time outdoor videos.

I absolutely love this camera in just about every way possible. As a photojournalist, being able to use the camera in any situation is a must, and this thing has performed well in literally any situation, even in near complete darkness. With the price drop on this body it is a no brainer to buy it! Build quality, image quality, high iso performance, autofocus system, video quality all get 5/5 stars for me. The only thing I kind of miss over my old 50D is the 6 frames per second but I have almost forgotten about that after a month with this body.

Yeah she started photography a couple years ago and we think that now it was the right time for here to get a great SLR.The 5D Mark II makes wonderful pictures! I really doubted that this camera would make such a big difference but it proved me wrong!!I would by it again!

you don't need a flash in lower light shooting situations. excellent image quality. it has been used for several group shoots in the last three weeks. very happy with it performance.

I use it along with 28mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8 as my low light camera for dance photography after years of using a 40D with a 50mm 1.8 and I found no weaknesses. The image quality is oustanding, and It was a "bargain" once the 5D mark III and 6D came out. This is my first full frame camera.

Price is fare for the qualityDesign can be improved to a more descent way.I buy it because it is a "Full Frame". But it will be nice to have a Demo DVD in the package for how to get more benefit from the "Full Frame" other than just get a 1:1 ratio developed pic without loose color info.

I love this camera! The image quality is truly superb. Low light image sensitivity is excellent. May need to manually focus in demanding low light situations, but gives great results!Only wish shutter were quieter, but will live with it happily for all other benefits!

As a professional photographer I have used all types of cameras. With over 30 years experience, I have made the digital transiton over the last 10 years. This is the best digital camera I have owned. I am a loyal canon owner since the 1970s.They are the best.

When Canon dropped the price and EOL'd the venerable 5D Mk II, I jumped on it to replace my 7D as a backup camera to my Mk III.

Remarkable camera marred only by crappy low light focus performance (completely resolved in the Mk III)

At the price these are going for now, and the fact that once they're gone, they're gone (Canon isn't making more) get it now!

I bought this camera a couple of weeks ago. I already owned the first version of the EOS 5D, but I thought it would be handy to have High Def video in the same unit. Many consumer grade handy cams have the ability to shoot stills, but their still photo resolution leaves much to be desired. I would have to carry both a high quality SLR and a handy cam to be ready for both situations. When the 5D Mark II came out I saw the opportunity to get high def both ways in a single camera.Indeed it does that, but the video capabilities of the 5D Mark II are not nearly as convenient to use as almost any consumer grade camcorder at 1/3 the price. Let me be clear about what I am saying. The quality of the high def video that the 5D Mark II shoots exceeds any consumer grade camcorder I have ever seen. Capturing that video however requires both hands whereas almost any handycam is a one handed breeze due to the ergonomic placement of the controls. Not so with the 5D Mark II.You would think that to start shooting video you simply select "movies" on the mode dial and click the shutter with your right index finger and everything happens automatically from that point. Not so. Not even close. With the 5D Mark II, first you press the "live view" button. The mirror flips up and the image appears on the LCD screen. Then you find the part of the image you want to be in focus and press the AF-ON button (assuming you are using auto focus). Step 3, you press the "set" button to start recording video.In the high def mode, the camera will record up to 12 minutes in a single run while making a digital file on the memory card of about 4GB. Think about that. 4 GB for 12 minutes! One 12 minute clip would completely fill a standard single layer DVD. That's a whole lot of data! In fact neither of my Windows based computers can play it back smoothly. Even the built-in playback within the camera itself is jerky. The more motion there is in the scene, the more frames that are dropped. Even the Canon web site acknowledges that the playback "MAY" be jerky unless your computer has a certain minimum configuration. To be fair, I will say that Apple computers seem to be much better playing back these huge movie files smoothly. This camera records movies in .MOV file format. That is Apple's Quicktime software. Even though Quicktime does run in a Windows environment, it seems to work much better on a Mac. A recent test I conducted showed that a current model Macbook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel CPU did a very smooth playback job using Quicktime.Speaking of focus, you would hope that you simply set the camera to the full automatic mode and your auto focus lens takes care of the rest for the duration of the clip. Once again no. It doesn't work that way. The only way I found to make this camera track the focus in movie mode is to set the mode dial to one of the non automatic positions, and set the focus to the "servo" position as though you were trying to capture still images of a moving subject.Zooming? Ah yes, that is another capability that is far less convenient. Most handy cams have a built-in powered zoom that is easily operated with one finger on the same hand that is holding the camera. With the 5D Mark II, as with any quality SLR, zooming is done by reaching around to the front of the camera and rotating a lens ring. Needless to say, that can't be done smoothly if you are hand holding the camera with your other hand.With all the buttons to push and settings to remember, this is not the camera you want for shooting candid spontaneous footage in a hand held situation. To be sure it does a great job shooting video in a controlled environment mounted on a tripod with a fluid head. Without a steady mount however, this camera is best for stills if hand held.

I love this camera. I have it paired with the Canon 24-105 L lens. The pictures are so crisp. I love the full frame. This is my first full frame camera.

I have had a Canon Rebel for T1i for a couple of years, before that I had a couple of the Canon G series cameras. As I have slowly worked my way up through different levels of Canon camera, I felt as if I made a huge leap from the Rebel to the 5D MkII. I decided to skip the xxd series and the xd series and go right to the top, wanting a camera that I could grow into and use for many years to come. I do not know a whole lot about cameras, but I absolutely LOVE this one! I have gotten some terrific shots already - the ISO performance truly stuns me after the T1i. I have a long way to go on my road in photography but I truly feel I have the right tool to grow with. I bought a great guide for this camera David Busch's Canon EOS 5D Mark II Guide to Digital SLR Photographyand just learning it a little at a time.I was afraid of the weight, especially with the 24-105mm lens; but it hasn't been so bad. I purchased a different neck strap Crumpler The Industry Disgrace (Brown)to help distribute the weight of the camera much better than the included strap. My biggest fear was that this would be 'too much' camera for me, but it truly is not. It has some beginner modes and the guide and information available online has gotten me a great start.So don't be afraid to go for this one - there will be no regrets if you do.

When I first heard a 21 megapixel camera would be coming out at a reasonable price (ie. not a ridiculous price like A$12,000.00) I couldn't wait to buy it. My previous camera was the EOS 1V film camera which had under-exposure problems and suddenly died a year after the warranty expired. I've had the EOS 5DII for three months now and recently took about 300 garden and landscape photos on a trip to Japan using a 28-70mm zoom. I had to work quickly because a lot of the sites we visited were very crowded. The 21 megapixels alone make this camera worth it - being able to zoom in and in and in and still use the full resolution with only a bit of sharpening is really something to behold. However, like my 1V, this camera isn't perfect and I had to fight it to get my shots exposed correctly and in focus.Other people have said that their 5DII's exposures are perfect every time but mine gave inconsistent exposure on nearly every shot I took and it seemed to favour over-exposure rather than under. If I had used a tripod I could have tried the live view mode with exposure simulation function before shooting - but for hand-held work next time I'll have to autobracket. None of the exposure modes (Evaluative, Partial, Spot, or Center-weighted metering) seemed to help in my quest to get correct exposure in one shot. Every photo had to be taken again at least three to four times for me to get the exposure right. I nearly always had to meter from the brightest part of the scene because of the light meter's tendency to over-expose but with some scenes the bright parts were too bright and I ended up under-exposed.The only downside to using 21 megapixels is that I became aware of auto-focus problems at full resolution. All of my lenses were either forward or back-focusing (at least when viewed at full resolution). Although you can fix this problem with the AF Microadjustment function for dedicated lenses like the 50mm f1.4, it will not work consistently across the entire range of a zoom lens (ie. you might be able to get it perfect for wide-angle shots but it will be out of focus on mid to telephoto shots). If you like pixel-peeping, want super-sharp focus and have the time, I would recommend that you use this camera with a tripod, set the screen to live view mode and focus manually at full resolution because auto-focus is just not accurate at high resolution.Another problem revealed by 21 megapixels is camera shake. In my case I found this particulary when using auto-ISO with aperture priority. Many of my hand-held shots with the 28-70mm zoom in low light were blurry at full resolution because of the minimal shutter speeds chosen by auto-ISO. The auto-ISO consistently chooses a shutter speed that is a little too slow for the focal length used in my opinion (ie. for my 28-70 f2.8 zoom, the auto-ISO set the shutter speed to 1/70 of a second when the lens was zoomed to 70mm). I still got camera shake and blurred photos even though theory says this shouldn't happen if the shutter speed matches the focal length of the lens. I think Canon need to update the auto-ISO on their larger megapixel cameras so that it chooses a slightly faster shutter speed. I know a lot of landscape photographers will be very critical of auto-ISO but while travelling I thought this would be a good feature to use to help save time as we often had to move quickly, taking pictures indoors and out under varying lighting conditions and this feature would have been useful - I imagine wedding photographers would be interested too.I think that digital cameras are undergoing a rapid evolution at the moment - on the one hand we have point-and-shoot models and the new "bridge" cameras which meter and auto-focus directly from the sensor and on the other we have the older SLR designs which use a mirror to reflect the image to separate auto-focus and exposure chips - a design which worked well back in the days of the first auto-focussing film cameras but which now seems out of date and ill-prepared to handle the new high resolutions on offer. Which is why Canon and others have added live view as compensation but it still has a way to go I think.Anyway, I still think I will have no trouble getting my money's worth out of this camera in the years to come.** As an update to this review - I took my 5DII to my local Canon service center where they sent if off to check the light meter. It came back recalibrated and is now exposing correctly and I'm very happy with it.

My oldest son is a budding film student and needed a good camera for his work and education. He told me what he wanted and this is it. The only review I can give is that he is VERY SATISFIED and is now in film school in Chicago. I have a first gen Rebel eos and it STILL works well. Its Canon.
