Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

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 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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
