Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

I've been a happy Canon user for years (including a Canon II rangefinder, a Canon EOS 1-V film SLR, and the 5D). I don't often have problems but, when I do, Canon factory service has always been great. The mirror in the 5D recently popped out and, though the camera was out of warranty, they fixed it in a day and fedexed it back to me for no charge. If you're going to spend thousands of dollars on equipment, it's nice to know the manufacturer treats it as important too.

I admit it, I'm a rank amateur when it comes to photography. I took a couple years worth of classes for Photography in college, but that was nearly 20 years ago AND it was all film based. Still, I've long been obsessed with cameras and photography in general. I sold my old Canon EOS film camera the moment digitals became affordable for us regular folks. Since then I've had a long string of different cameras, but they were all only OK. I always pined for the look I remembered capturing with my old EOS film camera, that to me was photography. Every shot I took looked like a crummy point and shoot vacation image. Fine for trips with the family, but nothing to be taken too seriously. Last year after years of slobbering over the 5D (mark II and precursor) I finally broke down and took the plunge, and haven't regretted it one bit. I LOVE this camera. This is what I remember photography being. Something that can be controlled and worked with, minus all the horrible smelly chemicals. I work exclusively with a 50mm prime F1.4 and the lovely depth of field speaks to me, and allows me to capture images of sublime beauty (to me anyways). I've heard over the years so many times that good photographers can make amazing images even with crummy equipment, while that may be true, for amateurs like me, having amazing tools sure helps a LOT. I'm rarely seen out and about without my camera these days and I have Canon to thank for bringing me so much joy. Highly recommended.

Anyone who is looking at this camera has probably scoured through the reviews already but here are my two cents. I upgraded from a T1i to this camera. The 5DMKII is significantly heavier than the T1i, especially gripped. The controls are slightly different but intuitive for a previous Canon user. But that's just the small stuff...Most importantly, the low light capability ROCKS! With my T1i, I could go up to ISO800 and maybe ISO1600 with post processing before the photo became unusable. With this camera, I was shooting away at ISO3200 and while there was some noise, it easily went away with a little PP. It takes beautiful photos, even with the 50mm 1.8! I do love the 24-105mm f/4 which I think is a great range to function as a walk about lens. Really, I now feel limited by only my skill. (I'm still an amateur when it comes to dSLRs-I've upgraded quickly!). I'm so happy I upgraded. I have only one complaint and that is with the autofocusing system. I'm not sure if it's just because I'm still learning but I do think it's a little slow and outdated. I wish it had more focus points. Also, I miss having a flash on the camera. I try not to use the on camera flash- I hate flash photography- but sometimes it's needed...I do have a Speedlite but I don't want to have to carry it everywhere!

Overall, I LOVE this camera and I'm so glad I upgraded. I initially choked a little on the price but now I wish I just bit the bullet earlier...

Well this camera rocks shoots low level lighting like it is only its business man shoot at 3200 and nothing but clarity noNoise awesome love the depth of field love. The feel just an all around nice experience,why wait till who knows when for the mkiii. Summer is now buy it now kit is nice get a thosand dollar L lens with it for a fraction of the cost win win scenario..Rogerwilco357Go Blue

This camera was a gift for our daughter, who in finishing up her photo journalism major at school. She's already an accomplished photographer and videographer, and this camera will allow her to hopefully begin her professional career.

I can't say much more than what's already been said however in my arsenal of lenses both Canon and non-Canon, I've found differences in IQ that are now noticeable whereas my 30D could not "see" any differences. Lenses are Canon EF 70-200-mm f4, Canon EF 28-135m f4-f5.6, Sigma 18-50-mm f2.8, Tokina 11-16-mm f2.8. First the Digital Tokina. As expected the vignette is bad at 11mm but at 16mm perfectly acceptable and still sharp. The Sigma is untested at the moment. The Canon EF 28-135-mm is soft at all settings and the Canon EF 70-200-mm is excellent at all zoom ranges. With a trip coming up to California and the Oregon coast I'll have the Canon EF 70-200-mm and the Tokina along and put both to the test. The Sigma I'm guessing may be fine at 50-mm as it shows some softness below f5.6 on my 30D.I'll report back on my successes as well as the not so great successes.Edit December, 2010 In short this is what I've found. Canon 28-135mm Not bad if PP with Photoshop USM and masking in camera raw CS5. Canon 70-200mm still my best lens. Sigma 18-50mm not usable, serious vignette over full range and not used on the trip. Tokina 11-16mm usable at 16mm only with a lot of edge CA and distortion.Edit July 2013:I've caved and purchased a Canon 24-105mm f4L, what a difference from my old 28-135mm. It's now my carry around lens with amazing sharpness compared to my 28-135. Should have done this long ago.

This is my first DSLR and so far it's been amazing. I can't believe how great this camera is. If you're a pro or a semi-pro like myself, this is the camera to get. Canon offers a really extensive selection of lenses and additional equipment. My only complaint is that the "special offers" for memory cards that appeared on the page with the camera were not the right cards for this camera. Amazon did have the best price, better than all the electronic stores in NYC.

Focusing screen falls loose on EOS 5D Mark II!I have owned: EOS 30D, 40D, 50D, EOS 5, EOS 1D Mark III. I am a semi-professional photografer and I have published 8 books with more than 2000 pictures taken with these cameras. I am not a new beginner.-I worked with the camera with no problem a couple of months ago, stored it about two weeks without taking the lens off, when I took it out again I could not use the camera. When I took the lens off both the focusing screen and the superimpose plate fell out of the camera house.This has happened on numerous occasions for several users even on brand new cameras, see: [...]-Canon does not acknowledge this problem and do not accept that this is a construction fault or a guarantee matter. I had to pay fully for the "repair" and exchange of the focusing screen, even though they "found nothing wrong with the camera house, including the focusing screen".This is obviously a bad construction!I do not recommend this camera house to anyone anymore because I just won't be able to trust it working out in the field!Very unprofessional behaviour of Canon Corp!Is there any one else out there that experienced the same thing?

This is the first digital camera that I haven't been searching to replace a year later. I bought this the first week it was available, with the lens kit and a 70-200 f/4 L lens and am still happily shooting with no issues whatsoever. The images are crisp and I've submitted to National Geographic. I actually had to send it back to Canon to calibrate the focus after trips to 3 continents and given that it was only a week out of my hands I can't even really complain about that given that the focus is OK now. The resolution is crazy, I can crop 90% and still have great photos. The feel is very solid and heavy and durable compared to my prior Rebel. One of my better Amazon purchases

Picture quality is outstanding. What is more important. I have used both L & other Canon Lenses along with a Tokina Macro. All have produced outstanding images.I also used a Nikon d300 but prefer the Canon system as I believe it is more user friendly& faster to use. The new model will probably have a new focus system, this one is fine for me.

Lots of great reviews here. I love this camera. So expensive though, but it was worth it to me. I'm an amateur but the quality of my pictures knocks me out. Read the pro reviews to get the best description of what this camera can do. I'm "gentle king" on flickr if you want to check out my amateur pictures.

I bought the camera wanting to take the technical limitations out of my photography. My advice for the people who aren't that experienced in photography is to take the lens into consideration - it can add up considerably to the price of the body.I got a midrange priced Canon lens, which I am not happy with. To reach the maximum quality with this camera you need a good lens: the lower the f-number the better the lens. It also helps if you can try the lens out before buying it.My first reaction was happiness over how much clearer the image looked than the ones taken with my old cameras. After the initial excitement wore off I realized the image still wasn't as clear as I had hoped for. A good lens is worth the money you pay. The camera is great but you need a lens that can handle all that greatness.

I have three Canon Cameras. I started with a 30D and I still have it to use as my version of a point and shoot, then when I got serious I bought a 1D Mark III and was blown away by the speed, flexibility and quality it offers. I still use that camera for sports and outdoor photography. Then I decided to get a portrait camera and although I was tempted to spend the big bucks and get a 1DS III, this camera came out with that same big sensor AND video, which the 1DSIII doesn't even have. Well, the story gets better and better the more I shoot with this camera. The resolution is incredible, the exposure and saturation are consistently excellent and the lack of noise at high ISO is amazing. I have a large format 13x19" printer that I print shots taken from this camera with and all I can say is WOW. When I can print these shots that big and still be amazed at the quality of the picture, that's when I really get excited about this camera. I can shoot at ISO800 and still consider the pictures excellent. I was reminded of how special that is the other day when I had my 1D Mark III and took it indoors at an event, and ran it at ISO800. The noise was so noticeable and I had to really bump up the noise filters during post-processing, but not with the 5D Mark II. I also love the ability to crop down on images much farther than any other camera I have and still have a tack-sharp image that can be printed large format. This is easily my favorite camera. Seriously, the 1D Mark III only comes out for fast action outdoor shooting now. Get one and you'll be so happy you did!

I have been using my new camera since Friday (6 days ago) and love the results and ease of use! Live view is a great feature but if you are auto-focusing, hit the button on the top right of the back panel on the camera that says AF-ON before you click the shutter. Full frame is the way to go for professional results! Highly recommended for anyone upgrading from a semi-professional to professional camera.

What can I say that others haven't? For years I shot film using Fuji Velvia for landscapes and flowers. It had a rich texture and creamy-smooth color transitions that made it a very special film. When I converted to digital, I was a little disappointed to find that my Rebel XTI didn't seem to have that special "feel" to the images that I got with film. Oh, it took nice photos, but I always felt something was missing.Well, the 5DMKII is the solution to that problem. The image quality is simply amazing. The buttery-smooth color transitions, the rich texture, and that "feel" are all back. These are the things that matter to me, and the reason to go with a full-frame camera. The large, bright viewfinder, the crystal-clear LCD screen, the ridiculously-good high ISO performance, the 1080p HD video and the dozens of other features are all nice, but if image quality is the most important thing to you, than this is your camera. If it's good enough to be the first digital camera to be used for the official presidential portrait, it's good enough for me.Oh, and if all you have are cheap lenses, get ready for major disappointment. You'll need a stable of those fancy red-ringed models with the "L" in the name, or something very close to those, to see the full potential of the 21 megapixel sensor. But, hey. You're not looking at this camera because you're on a tight budget now, are you? Invest in some good glass and you'll fall in love with this thing.

I had a Canon 40D and needed an upgrade. I bought the 5D MKll and instantly fell in love. It is amazing in low light situations. To see some samples please go to my webpage at [...] if you go to the wedding portfolio section mostly all of the low light pictures you see were taken at 1600 ISO on this camera. The images are very crisp! And the color is still preserved. Only con i have is I wish that a camera of this caliper and price was made a little more tougher. When holding it the body feels very plastic-like and just very delicate and not rugged. I am very pleased with the quality images that this camera has produced over the past year. Highly recommend this product!

I've tried both the 7D and the 5D mk 2 and found the 5D better. The picture quality of the 7D is excellent but I found the 5D mk 2 better. That full frame sensor make a big difference. On the 7D I found the crop factor somewhat irritating. The 24-105 lens on the 5D make for a great travel lens. Put that same lens on a 7D and you have a 40-170mm lens. Not really useful.Now the 7D has 19 focus points the 5D mk 2 only nine. That is not a problem. The 5D is as fast as the 7D. In fact I got the feeling that the 7D were sometimes confused by all the focus points.Construction both are superb.No pop-up flash on the 5D but I never use a pop-up flash anyway.Both the 7D and 5D are fantastic cameras but the 5D beats it to the finish line

I've only had this 2 days but I am blown away by the image quality. But purchased @ B&H b/c it's only $2,699 there, $300 less than Amazon - if you want it cheaper I believe they still have some in stock. Looking forward to starting my pet photography business with this amazing camera, don't expect I'll have to upgrade for many years!

I agree with other positive reviews. There is not much to add other than saying that I am completely satisfied with the picture quality. Very well built and responds to my commands effortlessly. Canon EF 24-105L is useful lens that I use most often, but EF 16-35L that I had for some time is so much fun on it. The advantage of full-frame sensor is obvious. If you are after the best possible picture quality in wide range of conditions, you should consider Canon 5D Mark II as an option.

I have had my 5D Mark II for almost a year and a half now. I love it. I feel naked when I go places without it. It is literally my dream camera.No point in repeating what everyone else has said. You can not find a better camera in it's class for most of what this thing does. It gives my Mamiya RB67 a run for it's money, but is 10 times easier and faster to use.If you're considering this against anything other than a larger format, get this camera.

I'm an amateur - and prior to this used a Rebel XTi for two years. I decided to upgrade to a full-frame sensor camera and got this because of all its good reviews.I'd read that you need good glass for this camera. While I don't have L lenses (yet), I do have very good primes - 85mm f1.8, 35mm f2.0, 20mm f2.8, and 50mm f1.4. What a joy to use this camera with those lenses - up until now they have been crippled on a cropped-sensor camera. The 50mm lens is a very useful lens now!The image quality - even for high ISO - is amazing. I use Noiseware Pro but it's hardly necessary for ISO 800 with this camera. It shoots up to ISO 6400 (and will go higher but is very noisy beyond that).The LCD on the back is terrific.The camera feels solid, easy to hold, but isn't heavy.You will need to update your Camera Raw plugin for Elements 6 or 7 or full Photoshop if you don't want to use Canon's Raw converter.I have not tried the HD video yet but already I love this camera. If you have not had a full-frame digital sensor, it is like starting photography all over again - that's how good the image quality is with this camera and the way it opens up your lenses. If you have good EF lenses, this camera will let them do their job.* added 10-4-2009 *The video is good - sharp and high quality - although I have concentrated on stills. I bought a directional mike for it and it works fine mounted in the hot-shoe.Some nice features -Although I tend to use spot focus, in live-view mode, you can zoom in to focus manually on any spot at 5x or 10x resolution if you want which helps with some tricky situations. Also when you press the depth-of-field preview button, it will show it with the exposure compensated so it is just as bright (there is an option to make it do that). These two features are really useful.Of course there is a face-detection setting for focusing if you want that.There is a 2-second delay setting (as well as the usual 10-second one) which is nice when you don't want to bring a shutter release for tripod shots. The timed releases automatically will take 3 shots if you are bracketing.The image quality from high ISO is amazing.The LCD monitor is worth raving about and usually someone will let out a "nice!" when they see it. It even compensates in bright outdoors light.The quick selection tool for easily accessing and setting most of the basic controls is very easy to use. I'm sure pros will want to rely on the proper, individual buttons but the quick selection tool is very nice.

I'm not sure how to quantify my experience as a photographer, but I do freelance work for the newspaper, weddings, and portrait shoots. I have owned other SLRs, I have Canon Rebel XSi and a 50d, but from the second I bought this thing and made the investment I have booked more shoots in the past couple months than in the past couple of years. The image quality is outstanding, pair it with a the 580ex and a good lens or two and you will not be sorry. Within months it has paid for itself. Just if you needed an excuse to buy the thing....

Lately there's been an influx of 5ds showing up at less than half price. There are about four sellers that I know of that may or may not be the same person. They do not want you to purchase through the proper Amazon channels. They will send you instructions to send a Moneygram money order to Italy, et cetera. This has been reported to Amazon but they have still been able to try to do their dirty business. Just a heads up!

I've been shooting with this camera and kit lens two weeks. Apart from a couple gripes (easily correctable by Canon), I have nothing but praise for the Canon 5D Mark II.Pros:1. Considering the dense pixel packing on the sensor, the camera sports amazing low-light performance.2. The kit lens is great with a constant F/4 at all focal lengths and only minor vignetting (correctable with software).3. Image quality picked up by the full-frame sensor exceeded my expectations.4. Gorgeous 1080p video capture.5. Controls and menu system are easy to navigate.Cons:1. Image sharpness with the 24-105 kit lens isn't as great as I expect from an L lens. This is probably a minor calibration issue, but Canon should deliver properly calibrated lenses from the start.2. The instruction manual is not very helpful for people without prior Canon experience.3. The weather sealing on the body does not seem convincing.Considerations:1. At 3.9 shots/sec, it's little bit too slow to be used regularly for sports or action photography. The camera is best for portraits or landscapes.2. The built in mic picks up any little noise from the lens or camera interactions -- you will need to buy an external mic immediately if you want to capture any audio with your video.3. If you shoot in RAW (as you should if you spent $3000+ on this camera), be ready to invest in computing storage and processor/memory upgrades. The large files are demanding.
