Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

I've been using a 5D2 for nearly a year now. The images have a depth to them I cannot explain, except to say that perhaps the tonal range seems greater, maybe more gradation of tones. I can't even make this camera produce the Kandy Kolours that most digitals, even DSLR's, default to. If you want your images to look like a Thomas Kincaid painting, you may as well be using a Rebel.

I leave the focus point at center. I dislike how easy it is to shift your focus point accidentally and spoil a shot. I check the histogram and highlight blowout indicator. I find I quite often have to give a minus 1/3 to a full stop of underexposure, annoying, but not a show-stopper. It suits my slow deliberate style of shooting. I frequently shoot at RAW to be sure I'm not blowing out highlights, but mostly to take advantage of this camera's fantastic image quality. Matrix metering seems to produce identical results to Center-Weighted Averaging.

I collect my RAWs in a folder and covert them to DNG's in the free Adobe DNG converter.

An added bonus for me is that full frame lets my 24, 28 and 35 be true wide angles. Adapters are available to let me use the fantastic Olympus OM 24mm f 2.8, Nikkor 28mm f 2.8 and Leica R 35mm f2. These manual focus lenses are great alternatives to the ridiculously expensive EOS L zooms and primes. The little Olympus, in particular, is nearly the equal of the L 24mm f 1.4 and costs 1/5 as much.

The EF 50mm macro f 2.5 is my travel 50, and I indulged myself with the 70-200 L IS f4 zoom (review on Amazon).

See my Normandy and Britagne gallery at [...] for images done with the 5D2.
I'm sure the 5D3 is better and more convenient in some ways, but $3,500? For me, no way. The 5D2 is a great buy; shoot for $2,000.

Ive lusted after this camera for about 3 years now . I used to study images on tumblr and favorite some of my fav shots and every picture i ever liked was from this camera. So early on i knew i liked canon and this camera. I used a t1i for a while and loved it.. Great learning tool and as I grew quickly with the camera i started looking for lens. Most of the lenses i wanted to I couldnt really enjoy because they were better on a full frame like this.. I saw it on sale at best buy and quickly bought it.. The images i get now are the images I always wanted to shoot... Im so thankful to have this.. Great camera...

i love this camera , i debated getting the 5d Mark III for weeks before getting the Mark II , im so glad i got this camera , it is great and anyone that owns one will love it , it could have more focus points , but i can live with what it has , the lens that comes with the camera is wonderful the wide angle view has helped a lot , i dont have anything bad to say about the lens , anyway buy one , these Cameras are great , i thought i would have a problem going from a cropped to full frame , but it has been a breeze

I have just purchased this superb piece of kit.

The resolution is truly amazing, the low light shooting at ISO 8000 is sharp and very low in noise.

The layout of all of the controls feels a natural evolution, (I have come along the D30, D60, EOS5 MKI route to the EOS 5D MKIII

The image quality is superb with amazing detail.

After initial problems with the batteries discharging, a firmware update seemed to sort this out and now this is just a superb, sublime piece of kit to use.

I have had my Canon 20D for the longest time. I liked what it was doing for me, however, was waiting for a Full Frame, to make use of all the lenses I have collected. And since Canon came out with a brand new Mark III, it was time to shop around for Mark II - that is good enough for me. After price shopping on Amazon (took a few months of waiting - and it just got lower again $2499), finally it drop down to what I was willing to spend. And let me tell you - it is one great camera! Even in low light, pictures are just amazing. Nikon's dials are little more intuitive, but 5D has added a lot of improvements, that makes it much easier to use these days. Best feature is automatic control, that allows one to quickly adjust from portrait to landscape (or anything between) with a few clicks.Pictures are crisp with great colors! If you are into SLR, this is great mid range pro camera with full frame!

Best decision I ever made on upgrading my camera. Now if I can only talk my husband into letting me upgrade to a iii :)

Great piece of kit as expected and a nice step up from the Canon 5D MK-II. Canon however do not recognize the dealer through Amazon and therefore the purchase does not qualify for thew Canon Cashaback |Scheme.

Switched form nikon to canon for this camera! I am absolutely in love with it, could not be happier!! I suggest getting just the body though and buying a 50mm 1.8, instead of getting the kit lens..

(EDIT)

this camera is still amazing and I still love it but whenever I go to Manual mode and start shooting video, somtimes it will do this auto exposure compensation and I have looked everywhere in the setting to see if its on or what and am unable to find anything. I dont know if its how the setting come stock or if it was refub'ed wrong?? the images come out amazing but manual mode is MANUAL. I shouldnt get auto exposure on a video on manual mode... puts a big damper on it.
OH and I was bummed to hear that it maxs out at 24fps so if you are looking to do slow-mo video, I would try another camera?? but for the most part, I love my canon mark ii

There were several issues regarding the purchase of the camera.1. The camera did not arrive on time, so the shipping address had to be changed.2. When contacting the seller, the customer service response was not satisfactory (I had to e-mail them three times to get a positive response).3. There are several essential items missing from the camera (which were not stated in the camera conditions), which include:LP-E6 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery Pack (7.2V, 1800mAh) - I did receive the battery charger.EOS Digital Solutions CD-ROMUser's GuideCanon U.S.A. Limited WarrantyThe seller did not include any of this information in the camera's conditions, only minor wear on the camera was stated. All of the previously mentinoned items are basic for the camera use.

I bought this camera after hearing the awesome reviews and decided that since I needed an upgrade (my Rebel XTi's sensor went bad) that I would test it out. I cannot believe the photos I am taking! The sharpness and quality is perfect. The HD Video is more than I expected as well! I would recommend this product to any aspiring photographer or for those who take photos as a hobby.

I upgraded to the 5D from the 40D. I am very impressed. The camera is slightly bigger and heavier but it feels comfortable in your hand. The crop cameras felt a little cheap and too small. The 5D is just the right size. The LCD screen is amazing. It is crystal clear and very bright. The viewfinder is also larger. Image quality is great. You can shoot at higher ISOs without too much noise. Image quality is the main reason I chose the 5D and that definitely is the best part of the camera. I do not shoot any video so I can't comment on that aspect of the camera. There are a few things that can be improved. The continuous shooting speed is SUPER SLOW. I thought it would be slightly slower than my 40D but it feels like I could press the shutter button faster than the burst. Don't plan on using this as your main camera for sports or action shooting (although it is still possible to shoot if you time it at the right moment but it would be so much easier with a faster burst rate). The shutter is also pretty loud. Other DSLRs I have used just make a mirror slap noise but the 5D almost sounds like a film SLR. It has the mirror slap but also sounds like there is film that is winding up really fast. Another small thing is that there is no flash but if you're going to buy a camera like this you are probably going to use a professional flash. I mainly shoot landscapes, food, and some portraits so the negatives about this camera are not a big deal. I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants professional quality landscape, architecture, food, or portrait images (you also need good lenses). For the action shooters, save for one of the 1Ds or get the 7D. It may not perform as well at high ISOs but if you get the 5D, you will be VERY disappointed at the burst rate. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is the slow burst rate and the loud shutter.

This camera has amazing ISO Quality at 3200 and above. Combined with the right lenses, this camera captures astounding sharpness and image quality. This full frame camera captures portraits that are tack sharp with smooth bokeh with my 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses. I upgraded from the Canon 7D. The 7D has many updated features, that the 5D, does not have since it is an newer camera. These features include: 100% viewfinder, faster auto focus, faster Shooting speed (FPS), and easier toggle between live view/video camera mode and still mode. However, the 5D's ability to shoot in low light with amazing image quality at high ISO's and the full frame sensor far outweigh its flaws. I recommend the 5D for wedding and portrait photography and the 7D for wildlife and sports photography.

The 5D Mark II that my wife uses performs well under most situations, the high iso performance is very comparable to the D700 that I used to own. The continues shooting speed is a bit on the slow side, not optimized for sports or fast moving objects.The shadow detail in RAW have excessive noise when pushed, my D700 is very clean up to iso 6400 in the shadow area.Image quality is excellent. Battery life is great. Sensor cleaning system is a lot more effective than Nikon's offerings.Another annoyance is that right after taking a photo, when in the preview mode, if I rotate the speeddial, the image would disappear, instead of going to the image before that. When I press left or right button after taking a shot, Nikon cameras would automatically go to the image before and after current picture.

By far the best camera I have used to date, a huge step up from my 40D. Lighter, faster, better pictures. Highly recommended.

This is a very good still camera, I have no complaint taking photos with it, would have rated it 5 stars for still only.However video is very different story.The image quality of video is very good, no complaint either.The real show stopper is the audio recording quality. The built-in mic is lousy, which is more or less expected. So I purchased a Rode NTG-2 shotgun mic hoping to improve the audio recording quality. Well, the Mic is great, but the recorded track has a very loud annoying hissing noise. Called Canon support, they said I need to turn off Auto Gain Control and lower the input volume, well, that did lower the hissing noise(didn't eliminate it, just lowered it), but so does the volume of recorded music. The bottom line is, The built-in circuit of 5D mark II has a very low signal/noise ratio, so you either get both or none. I also tried to get rid of the hissing noise using software like Audacity, it worked, but not without loss.If this is a $500 camera I wouldn't complain, but with a $2500 price tag I expect something better. Everything else worked very well except the audio quality, this is sort of like dressing up a beautiful, sexy girl with a smelly pants, Why would Canon do that?Added March, 2012:Discovered three solutions to my audio problem:1 JuicedLink. This is a preamp designed specifically for DSLR, turn your camera AGC off and lower the mic level to lowest setting, then crank up JuicedLink amplifier. But this costs you at least $300 + Mic2 FIIO E3: This is actually a headphone amplier, but works on 5D too. Not as good as JuicedLink but cost only $10 on ebay. There are demo videos on youtube3 If you are ok with recording sound in a seperate track and mix it with the video later on, you could always use device like Zoom H4N

I had the original 5D and shot weddings, portraits, landscapes, etc. As much as that was a great Camera, this is an improvement all around - Super fast, crisp, vibrant photos. Excellent in low light. Beautiful video as well, though you have to adjust the focus manually (which is difficult to do while trying not to be too shaky). It's the best toy I ever purchased!

I just want to let you all know that if you buy from this seller, you might not get your order. I ordered this item a month ago and I still don't have it. After sending e-mails to the seller confirming my address and still saying that I dont have my order, they said to me to just wait. It's been too long now. Plus the service is not very good, all you get in a reply is about 4 or 5 words.

Too bad Canon has stopped making this camera, which has been the model for the industry since it was initially released. It still is a magnificent camera, and the pricing on it was far better than the replacement Mark III, but which is also an amazing camera, though heavier to lug around. If looking for a great camera that is rugged and reliable and very near as good as the Mark III, and the Mark III is beyond your spending limit, I'd look toward a used and reworked Mark II if you cannot find a new one.

Purchased the 5d mark ii back in october when the priced dropped to 1799$. This camera is great for the money. AF system is outdated so if your looking for super fast and accurate af for fast moving subjects you are better off with the 7d or 5d mark iii.In terms of image quality the 5d mark ii is great. Noise is very low at high iso and maintains high details.When purchasing this camera I thought if i should wait for the 6d , but decided the new features on the 6d didn't appear to me that much.ProsGreat low light performanceLow costFull frameHigh image qualityGreat for portraits, landscapes,ConsOutdated af

The only this I'm trying to adjust to with this camera is not having the on camera flash. I just purchased a flash trigger to activate a slave. I think that will resolve my learning curve. As for the pictures it takes. They are super crisp and I am very happy with the purchase.

I baught the Canon Eos Mark II refurbished. I know it's not the new thing, but I love thes camera. It is sharp and fast. It may not be as good as the newer thing, but if you are on a budget, this may be the way to go.

I'm an aspiring Photographer and i wanted to have the best camera on the market , so after alot of research online and referrals from friends in the industry,the best camera was the Canon 5D Mark II, i saw the new Mark III recently released, but there isn't a huge difference in the two. I ordered this from AMAZON like many other items in the past and it was in excellant condition when i recieved it,the packaging and all the components were there, i've been using this camera since i first opened the box and its Great Quality, clear shots, easy to use and operate, i will say if your just starting off the David Busch book for this camera is really helpful because it takes you through all the ins/outs. For the price you can't go wrong theres no other camera i'd rather have to start my business and offer my future clients the best picture quality.... This a must buy if your in the market for a camera, oh and the 24-105m lens that comes with it , is great also, it was labeled as the best lens you can buy for beginners and professionals in the industry, it came highly recommeded on all the sites i checked. So get them both in one buy... i was sold... !!!Enjoy everyone

I wanted a 5D series Canon for years, since digital photography really took off, and this camera from AMAZON was a great deal. It works great, and shipped fast. I got it at a great price, thanks AMAZON.

Canon 5D mark ii is not the best SLR in the world, but the greatest one to me. I prefer it because it provides everything I need. The main purpose of this purchase is to take pictures and video for my baby. I believe many parents have the similar plan as mine, leaving a best gift to children when they grow up. Canon 5D mark ii is totally qualified to record HD video and high-resolution pictures for common life. No more no less, it is a perfect choice for non-professional photographers.
