I'm so glad I made the plunge and decided to buy this camera after two years of wanting it. It's everything I hoped for! The video/image quality is outstanding and I'm extremely impressed.

I've had a couple cheaper rebels in the past and jumped up to the 5D II because I was tired of wanting to upgrade and figured I would just do it all in one big leap.I love this camera. I see some people complain about the AF and the points. I don't do studio work and 90% of the time (or more) use the center point anyway, so this might be an issue for some but really has no effect on my use. High ISO is just great compared to the crop frames. I can use my 100-400mm L in many more situations now because of the ISO performance on this camera as that lens needs good light because it is not very fast. 4 frames a sec is perfectly fine for what I do. The camera is large and heavy compared to a Rebel but for a full frame I think it is quite compact and feels great in my hand. I do not mind walking half the day with the 24-70mm f/2.8L mounted. I would recommend getting a hand strap for it though, instead of the neck strap. I got one for around $15 and it works great! The camera is a lot of money for an amateur but I am happy that I have and think I got what I paid for!Some sample pictures that I've taken with the 5D Mark II: click 'all sizes' above the pic for larger sizes.24-70mm f/2.8L, B&W CP[...]24-70mm f/2.8L, B&W 10 stop ND filter[...]24-70mm f/2.8L, B&W 10 stop ND filter[...]135mm f/2L[...]24-70mm f/2.8L, B&W 10 stop ND filter[...]

I will try and add to the review pool by pointing out the other things that have not been expressed. I will use a comparison: Nikon.I bought the Canon Eos 5D MkII because I got tired of waiting for Nikon to come out with a full-frame body that has at least 20 megapixels, and is reasonably-priced. All that Nikon has at this level are full-frame bodies with only 12 megapixels. Come on! Film's equivalent = 20 to 36 megapixels, not half, which is 12. I don't like being nickel-and-dimed in the megapixel department year after year.The difference between a Canon vs. the comparable Nikon body is that the Nikon's "brain" can adjust the contrast automatically. The Canon body will record what it sees, and you tweak it as a RAW file. That's why a D90's colors looks so much more vivid right out of the camera. Nikon's jpeg images are stunning, while Canon's jpegs are a little drab by comparison. And the Canon...well, again, the images have to be worked up in a digital darkroom to look just as vivid, or low-key or whatever you want to express.Did you know that you can use Nikon, Pentax K-mount, M39 and M42-mount lenses on your Canon? Yes. Search for them here at Amazon.com, or the web!The 5D Mark II shutter is quieter than most Nikon dslr's.Is the Canon 5D MkII equal to the Nikon D3X? Not even close. The 24.5 megapixel D3X is years ahead of its time. The 5D MkII cannot hold a candle to the D3X in terms of overall image quality. Besides, who's got $7000+ laying around?

I've previously owned G5, 350D and 40D.5D Mark II is of completely different league. Full-frame is amazing.I've had this for a few weeks and I am still completely amazed at the quality of material I get from this camera.

Absolutely the best camera on the market today! You can spend more than twice the price of 5D Mark II, to buy the top of the line Canon or Nikon, and all you'll get for your money is the same or worst camera with an extra battery. The only things I would change in this camera to improve it are:1. a bit less megapixel to allow for a bigger individual pixel size, which would improve the atmospheric depth of the image and an overall quality of it;2. this camera needs a much-much-much! better auto-focus system for the movie mode.But since you can't have everything, when in doubt, buy 5D Mark II

I was finally able to upgrade from the 5D to the 5D Mark II and couldn't be more thrilled. As a professional photographer, the high ISO capability alone on this camera is worth the purchase price. Canon continues to prove over and over that they are a premier camera manufacturer and I wouldn't shoot with any other brand.

I purchased this for low light situations with out the flash and the typical indoor poor lighting issues. Overall it performed well. I was able to get the pix. In a hotel with mixed light the colors are very yellow. In the low light the colors seemed to red. Photo Shop fixed the red; but didn't help much in the yellow photo's. I'd expect to NOT have to use PS to much with this kind of camera. I didn't have a lot of time to 'practice' with this before I needed it for this occasion. All the buttons are different than my xti; so I used auto to much. IT CHOSE to use the 2.8 part of my lens; so many pix are still blurry outside of what I was focused on. MY mistake. NEXT TIME I'll know to use manual or how to compensate better. I think once I learn the camera it's going to be the wisest camera choice I've made!!!

This camera is all it's advertised to be. But as expensive as it is, it does not offer the feature found in less expensive brands and Nikon, the ability to take in one burst exposures to make a good HDR photograph. Some Nikon models take up to 9 exposures with one click.Canon offers the long standing 3 exposure bracketing, and only the feature mentioned above, on their most expensive model. To take multiple bracketing shot is slow and doesn't work if there is movement in the scene. AT the price of a 5D Mark II this feature should be included.

This was my first full frame camera. Prior to it I had owned and operated a 40D, 30D and Rebel XTi. I am a wedding and sports photographer primarily, so I have been able to test the 5D Mark II out under both of these conditions.For basketball I used it with AI Servo, Center Point focus, but went into custom settings and enabled the AF assist dots. It worked like a dream, focusing faster and more accurately than my 40D ever had. While no, the FPS aren't ideal for sports, if you can lock on focus like this from the start, you can still achieve amazing sports photographs. Plus the fact that I was able to shoot at ISO 4,000 and not have noticeable noise was just incredible. The shots auto-white balanced correctly too which normally in the arena I shoot at is not what happens on my 40D.My first wedding all I could say all day was wow. I was getting available light photographs I never would have dreamed of before. The new screen also made it incredibly easy to determine if something was in focus or not. When I would switch between my 40D and 5D2 I found out just how spoiled that screen had made me, since the 40D screen looked terrible to me now when previously I thought that had a great screen. I sure was wrong! 920,000 pixels is definitely the way to go on this LCD. I primarily shot with center point (one shot) for my focus and it nailed focus every time. I did a mix up of manual, aperture priority and some program (Program mostly for the formals)What else do I love about it? The 98% view finder is awesome. I like being able to use UDMA cards in it...Video! Although I'm not a video / motion person by nature, I prefer stills, I've been testing out the video quite a bit. At Christmas I took a few short clips of my nephew and was really happy with how they look. It's very neat to be able to take high definition video of a little kid and have that awesome affect of a wide aperture blurring out the background. The only downside is that the files are huge. My 1 minute clip was over 300MB, but that's what I get for shooting in 1080!The batteries this camera use really do hold a charge for a while. I used mine with the battery grip at the wedding, and the two batteries after going for over 500 shots (maybe close to 600 shots that day?) still had about 72% charge each left on them. I could easily have shot 3 times that much and still have had left over charge on the batteries. Also the new battery info screen is really nifty since you can see what serial number battery has what charge, making it a lot easier to keep track of.So far I've used a 35 1.4/L, 135 2/L, 70-200 f2.8/L, 50 1.4, and 100 2.8 Macro on this camera body and all have performed wonderfully. I don't miss the pop up flash that my 40D has since I never used it anyway, I always throw my 580 EX II on top when I need flash.This camera really is a gem and I highly recommend it if it fits in your budget!

I sold a Leica M6 with 2 lenses to purchase the Canon 5D Mk II after much research. I also own a Canon 30D and an SD780 IS Elph. After reading all the reviews, I could not deter the allure of this amazing camera. Sure, there are a few pro cameras that may rank better in 1 or 2 areas, but overall, nothing exceeds the quality and value of this camera for the money. I've been a serious hobbyist from over 40 years and have won a few competitions as well had a number of photos published throughout the years. I don't consider myself an "artist", but rather a street photographer with an eye for the artistic. While I've yet to explore each an every facet of this amazing camera, I've taken well over 800 photos in the past 2 weeks and each one has been of outstanding quality (despite the fact that some were badly framed by me!). The photos, all shot in RAW, have such detailed resolution, I am constantly amazed. I heartily recommend this camera to any serious photographer who is not already heavily invested in another brand.

GREAT CAMERA! Full frame is everything they proclaim it to be. It is great for cropping because the field of view is much larger and the images are sharper. The ISO range offers bright, sharp images in dark situations with relatively little noise. The colors are correct every time. My lenses work so much better on this camera as well. The video recording, rear LCD focus and HDMI hookups are all pluses. Overall the camera is great to work with. Lots of pros on this camera, lots of learning, and lots of fun! The only con I have at the moment is the loud shutter noise it makes while shooting, but its the sound of greatness.

This is the camera I did not need, but I had to have it. What a fabulous camera! This was a gift to myself for my 76th birthday and it far exceeds my high expectations. While not an expert on the computer, I find this camera with the menu functions very easy to program. The still images are incredible and I can't wait to try the video. After studying hundreds of reviews and magazine articles on various cameras, for me, it all boiled down to the Canon 5D Mark II. I wasn't wrong. The function buttons are logically placed, easy to use and clearly identified. The features are amazing. The only negative is I would have preferred a different location for the "on/of switch but it is not that much of an issue. Canon's "L" lenses with this body make a wonderful package. My son is a professional photographer and uses Nikon products. He wanted me to go Nikon so we could share lenes but I just couldn't pass up this camera. Now look who is jealous!

I've used and throughly enjoyed a 5D for a couple of years, and have found it to be a simply outstanding full-frame camera. Like a lot of people, I was eagerly looking forward to the 5D Mark II, and pre-ordered one. After using it for a few weeks, I am pleased to report that this is an excellent update to the 5D.If you're researching this camera, you've probably heard about the "black dot" problem (basically, some dark pixels to the right of blown highlights). Unless you're printing photos in the several feet by several feet size, you'll never see them. Sure, I'll download a firmware fix when it's available, but in the meantime, I've never encountered even the slightest problem in real-world use.Size and controls are very comparable to the 5D - you'll feel at ease very quickly. The viewfinder is fantastic -- bigger, brighter, and a very welcome addition. There are many "under the skin" upgrades, the biggest being 21.1 megapixels. So much more flexibility in shooting, but be prepared for some huge raw files! A processor upgrade (DIGIC 4) keeps things moving along at a good clip. I can't comment on the HD video capture since I'm just dabbling with it at the moment and have essentially no experience as a videographer. But, looking forward to learning. The video capture was just icing on the cake for me - bought it for still photos.Disappointments are very few and far between, such as the fact that the battery pack is a different design, so it can't be interchanged with the 5D. Supposedly, it has a longer life, but model interchangeability would be nice to keep the add-on costs down. I also regularly shoot with my 40D and Rebel (with the latter converted to IR), so the greater the interchangeability, the better.In short, this is an outstanding camera, and one that will be a welcome addition to anyone's kit. If you already have a 5D and use it a lot, the Mark II is well worth the cost. The kit is a good value versus the body -- the 24-105 f/4 L IS is one of the best walk around lens available. Should you not have a need for it, you can get a good price for it on the used market.If you're presently working with a crop sensor camera, you will be amazed at what a full frame will do for you (although, be prepared to spend some coin on some good glass -- once you get the L lens fever, you'll never want to go back!). Keep in mind that the original 5D is still available, and going at a very nice price new (and some outright steals for used bodies). The original is still a fantastic camera, and well worth considering if budget is tight.One final point -- the RAW files are not compatable with CS3. But, the recent update to Lightroom (2.2) solves that problem. No need to update to CS4 just for that.

After several years of reliable service from my old Canon EOS Rebel body, I was ready to move up to a "pro level" body when the 5D Mk II came out. I was one of the first photographers on Maui to buy the Mk II and I was REALLY looking forward to the overall measurably better picture quality promised by Canon and the indie reviews. After a couple of months of testing and comparisons with my old Canon body, I was VERY disappointed with the 5D MkII's output: EVERY PHOTO I TOOK, regardless of mode (AF and MF), turned out to be poorly focused, so much so that I couldn't even compensate for it in Photoshop. MY old Rebel EOS body (less than half the body-only price) produces much CLEARER images. I went back to using the older body and am returning the 5D MkII to the retailer for either a trade-in or heavy service work to correct whatever the problem is with the optics. My advice: If you absolutely MUST have one of these beasts, test drive it by viewing a few full-size images on-screen. You may be sorry otherwise.

There is a lot to love about this camera; Full Frame, 21.1 MP, HD Video capable, High ISO etc...But what I also love about it is the quality and reproduction of colors on even "so so" lenses.I moved from Nikon D300 to this Canon and I am completely happy with the decision. The learning curve for this camera is much shorter than the Nikon. Nikon wins in the fast focus and it is a very good camera but the Canon 5d MK II is simply awesome.

I am a serious demo person when i want to purchase a piece of gear at this price i need to know if it's gonna fit the bill, so i make sure i do dura-testing on the product before i seal the deal... and i owned the 7D for a minute it was a sturdy camera i like the 8 fps a whole lot and the 60fps which was a deal helper, which was hard of letting go once i decided to go with the 5D mk2 so full frame beat the APS-c sensor anyday... it really helps when using L series or nice primes... this thing rocks when shooting.7D has a dual processor which is good cause you can shoot video for 30min instead of 12min, also when shooting at the 8fps it buffers faster so significant differences. but still doesn't beat FF.
