I am very pleased with this DSLR, never fails, whatever condition given. Im not planning to upgrade anytime soon. the kit lens it came with 24-105L is very nice.

I love the camera in many ways, but it won't auto-focus on infinity. I sent it and my lenses to Canon service in NJ, they sent it back promply but it still doesn't auto-focus any of the lenses on infinity. With Canon, be prepared to return a lot of products to Amazon, as defects seem as common as good copies. What is the future of a Japanese company that has lost it's quality ethic? My next Camera will be a Nikon.

For the record, some of the reviews posted on Amazon are not associated with the camera Canon 5D Mark II at all. The majority of them were about price gouging from third parties that are selling through Amazon. On the other hand, I did purchase the camera along with the 24-105mm lens through Amazon at the price of MSRP and the purchase was delivered on time. So, I believe people should step back and look at the whole picture first before posting reviews that are NOT associated with the products at all. Such action does not do justice to the product and waste lots of readers' time.Now, let's get down to the main issue. I have been using the digital rebel for a few years and I was looking for all sorts of reasons to upgrade to a full frame body. The Canon 5D Mark II arrived at just the right time. I placed the order along with the battery grip and I can honestly tell you that I am both happy and also disappointed at the same time. Since I am only an amateur weekend photographer, my review is only from the novice user's perspective. If you are looking for a detail feedback specs and comparisons, I believe you will be better off if you read the feedbacks from the pros.Starting with what I like first. The resolution of 21.1 MP is a huge leap from what I had before. The first thing to notice is that the raw image files are much larger. Along with it is the conversion time (from RAW to JPEG) needed is also much longer. This is just a one time thing during upgrade and I am sure most users will get used to it. The camera body is solidly made and the size is just right. Since I go hiking a lot, I don't consider the size (with battery grip) is much to carry. The majority of my shots are landscape done in Aperture priority. The burst rate of 3.9 FPS is plenty for me and it is not likely that I will need the feature at all. What I notice the new camera helped me the most is that during the low light condition, I can switch to the auto IOS option and I have been happy with the results that I have been getting. In addition to the still photography, I do consider the HD video as an added bonus. I do take short clips of film from time to time just to make my hiking trips more enjoyable.Now, let's talk about my disappointments. The 5D Mark II that was delivered to me had a HOT SPOT on the sensor. First, I did not notice this issue at all as I was too excited to have this new toy with me. But after a couple nights of testing, I noticed that there is one spot which is always shown as bright Orange Red on my still images. This HOT SPOT is hard to be seen unless one is to view the picture in 100% mode and pan through all corners. One can easily ignore this issue if one is to have just one HOT SPOT and one only takes still images. However, the newly added feature of HD Video changed that completely. The same HOT SPOT is also shown on all the films that I took. It stayed at the same coordinate and it is there on every single frame of the film. That alone did not sit too well with me. So, I made a point and brought the Canon 5D Mark II body to the service center in person to have it fix. When I talked to the service rep, I was told it would take 7-10 business days. However, the entire service transaction took more than two weeks to complete. When I called for status of my unit, I was told the sensor had to be replaced and it has been on back order. So, it appears that this HOT SPOT issue is more common than usual. In any case, I finally got the unit back and did more testing. I am happy to report that I don't have the HOP SPOT issue anymore. So, as an advice, if one is to buy the camera, I think it would be wiser to buy it in the store and have a test run at first. Perhaps take a short film clip of a dark room and see if there are any static HOT SPOT(s) on all frames of the film. This would be a good way to filter the bad from the good. Also, I have been trying to play the HD movies on my PC and I must admit, the playback is rather jerky. I was told that it is the PC QuickTime player's doing. I did not see any issue from the playback through the camera at all. In addition, I've asked a friend to play the same movie file on a MAC and it was just fine as well. In this case, I think I can only blame the Apple QuickTime software.In conclusion, I do like this camera and the features that it offers. However, I can't really give a five star on this review as I believe Canon may have a quality issue that they need to address first. Before you buy, do some tests in the store and pick the right one to take home with. Enjoy...

The camera is great, no doubt. But woe betide you if anything goes wrong! Canon does everything they can to avoid backing their products up with a meaningful warranty.I had my camera a few days when the focusing screen fell out during use. (My local professional photography shop said this was a problem they had seen before.) I had no idea what was wrong, but after puzzling over it, I took the lens off and there it was, a detached focusing screen, sitting where it did not belong. I could see where it had fallen out from, so I reinserted it, but when I checked it out, it had gotten scratched.I called Canon support and Jim, a supervisor, told me this was "not a manufacturing defect." I was astounded . . . a focusing screen falling out is not a defect? Jim had apparently been trained to worm out of backing up Canon products. I spent over 6 grand on the camera, lenses, flash . . . and Canon gets sleazy over a $40 focusing screen. Incredible.I wish now I had bought the Nikon.

I upgraded from an original 5d, which I really liked (takes great pics). Though the image quality is not substantially better (if any better) on the mkii, I like having more megapixels, higher iso options, and video capabilities. I have made use of all of these and more, making my decision to upgrade feel solid; of course, now that the mkiii is out, people are selling the mkii used for ridiculous prices (but I wanted a new one, and got it when there was a price drop). I have no regrets.

I am coming from a Canon 10D so In comparison to other models I have nothing, but there is nothing I dislike about this Camera. I purchased this with a 24-70mm f/2.8L Lens as well. I have no review on the video abilities yet.21.1 MP gives me an incredible about of room to work in Photoshop if I want to re-frame my composure, or make 11x14 or 12x16 prints at 300 DPI. I couldn't even make an 8x10 on my 10D at 300DPI. The color reproduction has left me with very little Photoshop work, which is fine, saves me a ton of Post Processing. Pictures have been sharp corner to corner, and even looking through the viewfinder is crystal-clear and bright (that could be attributed to the f/2.8 Lens). Speaking of bright, the LCD is amazing compared to the old 10D. I do not however use live view, I use the viewfinder, as when shooting moving objects there is quite a bit of lag between live view's image and shutter.I usually take ~100 Pictures each time on my nature shoots, and the battery has held up great. I usually recharge it every few shoots. I do plan to get a 2nd battery before the wedding I'm shooting next year however. I've read notes about focusing problems, but I have encountered none. And I have shot from less than a foot away to infinity focus and everywhere in between, and the only noticeable issues I have had were when my cheap $20 tripod didn't like the shutter shake on 1/3 sec or longer shots. Ruled it to be the tripod by switching to self-timer and putting a little weight on the tripod with my hand. Pictures then came out razor sharp.The image sensor seems to perform far better than my 10d especially when confronted with very sunny areas mixed with shadows. I have taken pictures with little to no Blowout and Black Crush that my 10D (same settings and lens) suffered from. I have taken indoor pictures at ISO1600 that, short of being at 100% crops,you have a hard time pointing out noise. I've taken some very nice flashless pictures at 1600 and when printed at high dpi or used on webpages look great still. 10D at 1600 would look like your tv when the cable goes out more or less.The software that comes with the camera is great for making adjustments and converting your RAW to JPEG's if needed.NOTE: When I registered my camera, I got a note from Canon that Firmware 2.0.7 is now out, check it out if you have 2.0.3 or 2.0.4 still!So my short sum up.Pros: High Resolution, Great ISO Performance (including expanding to ISO50), Great Color and Gradient Reproduction to minimize post processing.Cons: Shutter Lag when using 'Live View' (not a con for me, just wanted to make people aware), 30MB CR2 files fill up your space fast, Large sensor has more area for dust to stick to, so get a good Cleaning Kit and squeeze blower.

I bought 5D Mkii after a lot of thinking and budget calculation. At the end I decided not to go for the Mkiii because I think it's overpriced. Bought Mkii and Canon 85mm f/1.2 instead, made some really great shots just out of the box and could not be happier.

I got this camera body pretty much solely for the high ISO performance, and let me tell you: it's worth it.I shot a wedding at ISO 3200 and it was perfect. I kept it at that ISO all day because there was no need to go lower.ISO 6400 has minor grain, so I wouldn't keep it at that all the time, but it's certainly useable. Even ISO 12,000 is useable, but definitely grainy.I didn't use flash at all at the wedding, even into the evening reception, and the pictures came out wonderfully.The picture quality and colors are absolutely stunning. Natural light is the way to go! It is a step up from my Rebel XSi. The colors in these photos just make you go... wow, what beautiful lighting!The only problem I've noticed is that its auto-focus fails sometimes in low light if the thing it's focusing on is a solid color. I would push the shutter and... nothing.Another con is that it is a full frame camera, so lenses appear more zoomed out than on a crop camera like the Rebel XSi.Overall, I'm in love with this camera!

A few months ago I decided to upgrade from the 7D to the 5D Mark 2.I really wish I made this move earlier. The full frame adds so much more to my photographs and really maximizes the value I had already invested in my lenses. Even though the 7D is a newer model and a great camera, the 5D's sensor is so much better. The color composition and low light performance is where the 5D has a strong edge.

Canon must have listened to the needs and desires of serious and professional photographers when they designed this camera. This feature-rich camera combines every possible feature most of us could ever wish for.Pros:This camera is truly professional quality. This is NOT a camera that can be purchased at a typical retail store display like those found Target or Wal-Mart. This camera demands attention, and the size will set this one apart from the other typical DSLR cameras often seen around.This camera ships with a large, fast lens that lets in a LOT of light, making it perfect for general photography. It also ships with a lens hood for the lens in the kit.Movie mode essentially replaces the need for a seporate HDTV recorder, so it's a 2-for-1 deal really.Cons:You pay for what you get, and this is no exception. Yes, it is expensive, but then again, it is worth EVERY PENNY. Once you get one of these, nothing else will ever come close. It is simply the fastest, most amazing camera I have ever used, hands down.There is no flash attached. But not being a regular use of a camera flash, it's no big deal. Considering the HUGE ISO range, it really is not an issue. A speedlight can always be added to the hot shoe, if need be.It is heavy. The weight of the lens and the weight of the camera itself make it quite heavy. It is quite heavy, so much that it has made me consider a specially-designed neck strap to replace the one that was shipped with the camera.All in all, if I had the money, I would buy a second camera just like this one. Like I said earlier, once you pick it up, you will be in love.

I upgraded my 5D to the Mark II and the MA, better LCD, higher ISO and the video mode makes it a worthy upgrade. I don't care about the MP count that much but it is nice to have more if you need to crop. I was considering the 1D MKIV but I found the the 5D MKII image quality better. I am not shooting sport regularly so the better IQ was more important for me than the higher FPS and the better AF and also, the 5D MKII cost just half of the 1D MKIV. I needed the body only because I never really liked the 24-105 f4L IS lens - personally I prefer the 24-70 2.8L - but only the kit was available at the time so I ordered it and sold the lens immediately. This way the body came out cheaper than the body only version so it was a good deal.The 5D MKII is out for a while so everything is written about it already I don't want to waste the space I am just saying I really like it. My only wish would be the 7D's AF system in it but it will probably come with the MKIII I just didn't want to wait. I have the 7D for the occasional sport and wildlife and the 5D MKII for the rest. Amazing camera!

I bought this camera recently and it does not cease to amaze me. Going int it I already knew about the issues with the jello effect when panning or tilting fast so I can't complain too much about that. This camera is just amazing in low light. I don't recommend boosting the ISO too much as it increases the amount of noise, but even in lower ISO settings it doesn't need nearly as much light as other cameras I have used. This means you don't need to buy extremely powerful and expensive lights. You can buy smaller lights and they will be more than bright enough. This way your actors won't be sweating either. =DThis is the first thing I shot on the new camera. I'm very impressed by the picture quality you can get out of it![...]

I'm a Canon 40D user that's been lusting after the 5D II since its release. My 40D with Canon's excellent 24-105L F4 lens has taken some terrific shots, but I really needed the low light and extra resolution of the 5D to make my photographic work really pop. I've been doing a lot of portrait work recently and finally decided to spring for the 5D to get the best possible shots for my clients.The result: I'm blown away with the quality of the shots. It's hard to take a bad photo with this camera. Everything comes out looking like an image from National Geographic or Architectural Digest magazines! Its wonderful to finally be able to use the actual 24mm end of my 24-105 lens (without the 1.6X factor of the 40D). Interiors shot using existing light without flash come out sharp and wonderful with great saturation and contrast. The image preview screen on the back of the camera is a vast improvement over the 40D, with a higher pixel count and excellent display.My confidence as a photographer has come way up since owning the 5D. I've been shooting professionally since the mid 1970's with film cameras (Nikon FE2), then went digital in the 90's with an Olympus E10 (great in its 4 megapixel day), then the 40D and finally a camera that blows them all away: the 5D. If you can scrimp together the pennies, definitely buy the 5D and at least one L-series lens (the 24-105L F4 and 17-40L F4 are inexpensive for starters). This is a camera you'll be floored by the quality, and will make you want to devote more time to shooting because of the incredible results. I'm a night person, but this camera is so good it's made me get up early to take advantage of the dawn and morning light--and that's saying something!I haven't explored the video capabilities yet, but I'm not a video type of guy. Most of my work is done for professional graphic design work (brochures, ads, magazines, posters, etc.) and the 21.1 megapixels leave lots of room for cropping and enlargement. Be ready to seriously read through the manual to learn the capabilities of this camera. Canon also offers new educational tutorials on their site.This is a camera that anyone from beginner to seasoned pro can love. The full frame means you have to buy excellent lenses for it, but it's a purchasing decision that you will not regret. Get it!

I took a break from system-cameras for a few years. My arsenal of lenses became temporary museum pieces while I wandered around with a point-and-shoot digital. While it gave great images, one thing it lacked was the flexibility of interchangeable lenses.I got an urge to start using my lenses again so "went back to film" so I could use them on my film cameras. And that's when I remembered why I went to digital in the first place. The long story short is that film takes lots of time, costs lots of money, and these days, is not well supported if you want high-end processing, printing, etc.So there I sat, staring at over 20 name-brand, high end lenses and no camera to use them on. In todays dollars that's a significant investment. Enter the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. There are a number of good mount-adapters that enable the use of vintage and not-so-vintage lenses on the camera. After a little research I was convinced it would work for me. So I ordered the camera (with kit lens), battery grip, extra battery, memory cards and the lens mount adapter.All the packages arrived on the same day. It was like the best birthday I ever had. Within minutes I was shooting images with the kit lens (24~105), and testing the camera with every last one of my vintage lenses and the lens mount adapter. A couple wide-angle lenses with deep rear elements would not work, but a long list of lenses worked perfectly and very easily. With the lens mount adapter I purchased, I even get focus-assist!I love the battery grip - it holds two batteries AND comes with a clip so you can use AA batteries in a pinch.The kit lens is wonderful. It gives a great range of focal lengths - from a super-wide 24mm to a very useful short telephoto 105mm, with a continuous run in between.The autofocus is almost silent - so much so that a Nikon user I handed it to said "the auto focus isn't working". Yes, it was...Gadgets are great and photographers love to talk about them. But it's the pictures that really matter, right? And that's where this camera rules. I have put this camera to every test I can come up with - slow shutter speeds hand-held (image stabilization really helps); low light (the ISO range is so wide I can almost say that light isn't an issue anymore); colors (so natural and clean that the images will stun anyone who sees them); and for me, the ability to attach vintage lenses and get auto exposure and assisted focus - a huge money saver for people with high-end vintage lenses.The full-frame image sensor means that all those 35mm lenses you have will still behave the way they did on your 35mm SLR.Check the customer images for a couple examples of what can be done...8/31/2010 - Since purchasing this camera and kit lens almost a year ago, I have added several lenses to the "kit".Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM Ultra Wide Angle Zoom LensCanon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Ultra Wide Tilt-Shift Lens for Canon Digital SLR CamerasCanon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L II IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR CamerasI still like my vintage "manual" lenses but the real beauty of this camera comes out when paired with lenses like these!

There are plenty of reviews about the image quality and I second them. The images that this camera produces are excellent. I have found the focus to be excellent too.However, for the price I am left a little disappointed with the somewhat basic features. For this money I was expecting plenty of bells and whistles and imagined that this camera would be feature-rich. Unfortunately this wasn't the case. Canon seems to have deliberately limited certain features on this camera which I was very surprised to find. It's rather like buying a Lamborghini, taking it the the race track and discovering that the gas pedal doesn't go down all the way.Particularly annoying and crazy features that you may not expect are:Exposure bracketing: You can only take 3 shots and the maximum +/- is 2 stops. For a camera this price you should be able to chose how many exposure you want and a much greater range of stops. Infuriating!In manual mode, Auto ISO doesn't work. You can only choose a manual ISO setting. Very very very very very very very very VERY annoying.Auto ISO (available in any non-manual mode) will only go up to 3200. If you want higher than this you have to set it manually. For the price I want to be able to set max/min limits. MADDENINGLongest shutter you can set is 30s. I know all camera manufacturers do this but it is just nuts. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to set 60s, 120s, 4 hours, 2 days, for this price.All in all this a pretty basic piece of equipment with an excellent sensor. I wouldn't buy this again (in hindsight the D700 would have been a better buy) and when the updated D700 and 5DMk3 comes out I will evaluate them both and consider the move to Nikon who's bodies seem much more feature rich. Nikon lenses are more expensive but that is another story....
