Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

A Full Frame camera a few steps above the Canon 50D. The controls are almost completely similiar to the 50D yet different then the 7D. Excellent for still shots but the 7D is better for action shots due to its more frames per second. I have both cameras and love them both. Each has its own purpose. If you ever owned a 50D, this is a much better camera by far.

i am constantly amazed by the pictures i get from this camera. i love the extra width i get from full frame as well as the extra shallow depth of field. i'm a wedding/portrait photographer and this camera is beyond amazing for what i do.if you shoot high ISO, you can't beat this camera at the moment. i shoot ISO 6400 like it's ISO 1600, it is that clean. and ISO 3200 is the new ISO 800 for me, i don't even hesitate. i will not go above ISO 6400 though as you'll start to see banding.the lcd has me spoiled, so much so that i'm selling my 40d so that i can either get a 50d or the new 7d. on the 40d all of the pictures just look blah...and blurry. they still turn out good on the computer, but it can be very frustrating at the time. on the 5d II, you can tell right away if you've misfocused or if your exposure is off.video quality is amazing though i don't really use it for that.autofocus is better than people like to give it credit for. i shoot mainly dimly lit receptions and it locks perfect whenever i need it to. i'm talking ISO 6400 f/1.6 1/30s dim. also i have no problem using outer focus points as they work great as well.manual focus is a cinch with the 5d II. if you put the camera in live view, move the small box over what you want to focus on, then push the zoom button twice to see that box at pixel level. focus the lens and shoot away.lenses used are 35mm f/1.4L, 85mm f/1.8, 16-35mm f/2.8L I, and 70-200mm f/2.8L IS.if you need high ISO and want full frame, this is the camera for you. if you don't need either, save some money and get the 50d or 7d...or even a used 40d.

I have done photography in the past with High Quality Canon film cameras and lenses for magazines. I decided to get back into photography and purchase the Canon D5 Mark ll. I found the camera Large, Heavy, Over Priced, and the Quality of the photos taken at 21.1 mega pix was poor and darker than at a normal photo would be taken in auto mode. My 10year old Sony 5.0 mega pix takes better photos.This Camera is not for a person that is a beginner or not knowledgeable in Photography. The HD video is good quality, however unless you use a Tripod or compensating lense, the video is shakey on playback.I was very disappointed in this camera.

Firstly let me say there is absolutely no point in buying this camera together with a non L-series zoom - you will be wasting you money. This camera is far better than any non L-series zoom with the exception of the DO series. Non L primes are OK.There are a lot of comparisons between 5DII and D700/D3 going around. DXO publishes some excellent tech data on sensor comparisons. What these show is that in the various test the Canon is 0.5 - 0.3 stops worse than the Nikon at high ISO. At low ISO (below 400) the Canon is maybe 1.3 stops poorer than the Nikon. Although high ISO dynamic range between the two is nearly line ball! There are 2 things to say now. The low ISO figures are irrelevant because the noise cannot be seen at low ISO on any modern DSLR! The high ISO differences are so small that they nearly make no difference. In fact if you down convert the Canon's 21Mpx images to the Nikon's 12 Mpx you gain 0.3 of a stop on most tests. Voila! They are then identical!These are two very good cameras. The Nikon has higher fps. The Canon has higher resolution. And the Canon has 1080p movies! You choose.Oh! You should disregard the DXO final summary score for the Nikon D3X. It is complete nonsense. The individual DXO data graphs on dynamic range, S/N etc all show the D3x is very similar to the 5DII. The final summary score must presumably be an error. But of course the D3x is ~$7000 and doesn't go to as high ISO as the 5DII or the D700. The D3 is optically very similar to the D700 but with better weather proofing etc. and a higher weight and price tag. However, the D3 does NOT have sensor cleaning! I have always regarding sensor cleaning as a must have in DSLRs.Forgot to say: the latest firmware update from Canon has fixed the "black dots" and the moire (slight) problems. These problems were hard to see (narrow parameter sets) but should not have been present.*2 months later: still all good. No nasties discovered late in the day. Lots of later reviews confirm what I said. Slightly poorer low noise at higher ISOs but the difference is going to be hard for the human eye to see in prints - even at the largest sizes. Also the 5DII has higher resolution than the D700. The 5DII has very similar sensor performance to the Nikon D3X - line ball - and v similar resolution. The D3X is more rugged, bigger and heavier but the 5DII is 1/3 the price. You choose.

LOVE THIS CAMERA. IS EVERYTHING I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AND MUCH MORE. MY IMAGES ARE SPECTACULAR EVERYWHERE I GO, AND IT IS SO EASY AFTER HAVING MY "BEGINNING TRAINING" IN A CANON REBEL XTI WHICH I GOT YEARS AGO. 4105 LENS IS AWESOME.AND IT CAME TO MY DOOR IN LITTLE TOWN MIDDLE OF NOWHERE IN 21 HOURS AFTER I ORDERED IT. IF YOU DO ORDER A CAMERA FROM AMAZON AND THEY GIVE YOU A LIST OF ACCESSORIES, BE CERTAIN THEY FIT THE SIZE OF YOUR LENS. I BOUGHT A LENS THAT WAS OE THE LIST AND IT WAS WRONG SIZE DUE TO MY IGNORANCE AND SPPED OF ORDERING. I HAD ORDERED A 7 D FROM ANOTHER CAMERA DISTRIBUTOR AND SENT IT BACK AFTER 2 DAYS. AND ORDERED THIS ONE FROM AMAZON BECAUSE THEY WERE SO SPEEDY AND I HAD TO LEAVE ON TRIP IN TWO DAYS.SO HAD GREAT PHOTO TRIP OVER 2400 PHOTOS IN 3 WEEKS EVEN WITHOUT MY UV FILTER.

The Canon 5D Mark II really hits a new portion of the market- it's really a professional level DSLR at a price accessible to shutterbugs, photography enthusiasts, and independent filmmakers. The camera features an incredible Full Frame CMOS sensor that does very well in low light...this sensor is, in fact, larger than that of the Red One 4K Cinema camera, which costs approximately $17,000 (please note that I am not comparing these two cameras- they really do serve two VERY different purposes).Canon really made a step in the right direction with this camera. It provides quality, functionality, ease of use, and the accessibility of professional level products to those with shallower pockets. This camera has been great for everything from candid family shots, to shooting great videos of trips to Europe, family gathers, etc.While the still photos are incredible and the video rivals that of exponentially more expensive HD cameras, the only things keeping this camera from being much better with video is the processor and the write speed. I think we can, however, expect to see Canon focus on this in the near future. They do provide great user requested features in their firmware updates, which is more than can be said by most prosumer/professional electronics manafacturers.I would absolutely recommend this camera to anyone who is looking for a camera that does it all without having to cost more than the car they drive.

If you've made it this far you're basically looking for encouragement to buy this camera - not for actual information. I can offer encouragement.

I've been a working professional for my entire life and have spent fortunes on gear. I own a complete Hasselblad H3DII system and that system was so good I sold my entire backup Canon EOS 1Ds MkII system since it simply wasn't good enough for ad campaigns. This camera still isn't as good as the Hasselblad but it's close - close enough that I use it a lot. The video function however puts it in another realm altogether. It's got issues with sound but as I make my transition to moving images this camera is helping the process. The camera needs manual level controls for the audio and it needs firewire for shooting tethered - USB is so slow it's worthless. Those are my complaints.

I consider it my Hasselblad point and shoot. Good enough for print work and cheap enough to replace when it get's smashed. I did a two week off road motorcycle trip in Canada and the camera was dropped, mounted to the motorcycle, used in pouring rain and whipping dust storms - things I'd never do with the Hasselblad. It didn't miss a beat.

The major complaint I have despite all the great values :1) The focusing is just bad/ if you have tried 7d, you will see a huge difference2) I wish the ISO performance will be improved in the next model3) auto focusing in video is non-existent4) not very weather sealingThen I pretty much agree with all the good things about this camera!!!!

I finally gave up on film, reluctantly, like the old guy that I am, surrendering my Nikon after playing with my brother's Canon 5D. The 5D Mk II is an amazing camera, and if there were ever a question about digital having finally surpassed film, the answer is in. The images are crisp and gorgeous, and the camera has all the flexibility anyone could every hope for, and then some. The controls quickly become familiar and convenient, and the low-light sensitivity is astounding.That having been said, there are some notes I would make. It is built like a tank, and when matched with an "L"-series lens like the 24-70mm or 70-200mm is significant in its mass. In addition, the video images, though beautiful, must be further processed before they can be used in many video-editing programs (I use Vegas Pro 8.1), and I ended up having to purchase CineForm's NeoScene at about $100 to make them usable. It almost seemed as though Canon's video people weren't consulted fully on the video part of the camera. Again, however, great images are obtained once properly dealt with.I am sure that in the near future, an even more amazing camera will be sold; for me, this thing is perfect, even though I had to trade with my wife big time to purchase it.

What can I say, the is one amazing camera. I bought this to replace my old body (20D). Full frame is the way to go, I can't say enough about this camera. The image quality is amazing, low light photography is better then expected. The added video is nice, while the live view is a welcomed change. I also purchased the battery grip with this unit plus a large (16gb) high speed card, you definitely need the larger memory card if you will be shooting in raw+jpg, like i do. Now I can take advantage of my "L" glass with this camera. Well worth the price! My clients will appreciate the end result. One last thing, if you are a extreme macro photographer, you will take advantage of the live view function, it helps when you reach for a shot especially with the Canon MP-E 65mm Lens, Canon MT-24EX Flash. Happy Shooting!

Like many 5D Classic owners, I was looking forward to the release of the 5D Mark II, which was finally announced September 2008.There was a lot of hype, but also a lot of unjustified hate for it from the beginning.When the original 5D was released, it was the only DSLR under $4000 that was full frame. There are now three full-frame DSLRs under $3000 (currentgeneration): Canon 5D Mark II, Nikon D700, Sony a900. There are pros and cons for each system, which I will briefly go over.Canon 5D Mark IIPros:-Has 1080p/FullHD video recording - Google examples. They will prove the FullHD video is not a gimmick.-21.1MP-Has the most selection of lenses (both for consumer and pro grade)-Very good high-ISO noise handling even with such a large resolution - nearly as good at 100% as the D700/D3, but with 75% more pixels-Lowest MSRP, which may translate to the lowest street price in a few monthsCons:-Least amount of AF points - but they appear to be more than adequate for nearly any situation-Only shoots 3.9fps - the slowest of the threeNikon D700Pros:-Cheapest street price as of 12/2008-51 AF points and fast AF-5fps-Very good noise handling in large part because it has the lowest resolution-8fps (with battery grip) - fastest continuous shootingCons:-"Only" 12MP - However, 12MP is more than adequate for nearly everything, so I am only listing it as a con purely based on specs. But it issomewhat of a limitation if you want to make really big prints.-Smallest viewfinderSony a900Pros:-Highest resolution at 24MP-Image Stabilization built into the body-Zeiss lenses-100% viewfinder-5fpsCons:-Least amount of lens selection-Bad noise control by far compared to other two - by several stpos-Highest street priceBasically it'd be hard to go wrong with any of the systems, and things are only looking up for consumers as technology gets better and better.This is an excellent camera, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking to upgrade or get into the hobby. You won't bedisappointed...I still need to play around with my camera more before I can give a more in-depth review, but I am very impressed. Noise handling is really great,and even shots at ISO 12800 and 25600 are easily usable, especially at normal print sizes. The bigger, higher resolution LCD is a welcomeimprovement.Search Google for examples of the 5D Mark II's HD video capabilities. The results are amazing! I look forward to the work of some talentedvideographers in the near future.

I have owned the Canon 5D Mark II for over two months now and it is an amazing camera body. The HD video is fantastic.Pros:Amazing low light capabilities.Simple and intuitive menu system.Comfortable ergonomic design.Light weight.Film quality 1080P HD video.Breathtaking quality resolution.Cons:Uber expensive.Subpar autofocusing.Full frame sensor will always have numberous 'hot' pixels.Hot pixels show up in HD video and are impossible to remove without expensive post processing software.Need expensive L series lenses to really capture great images.Huge RAW files take up tons of hard drive space and require a bleeding edge workstation to edit in an efficient manner.Uber expensive.

Well just bought the 5d mark II and brought it back. I had a old 5d and it's about the same with a few added features, in my opinion, not worth the heafty price tag. autofocus is not the best, still has banding issues, which I had with the old 5d. I've been 100% canon for a long time, Search the internet and you will find ALOT of reviews on FOCUS PROBLEMS. If you just shoot for fun and really aren't worried about sharp pictures then this is the camera for you. And I've seen first hand how canon customer support is. NO SUPPORT. Sorry you bought it, you own it. That should be there slogan.

To date all of Canon's full frame DLSR bodies suffer from the same problem. All the focus points are too centrally clumped into the middle 30% of the scene. No focus points are any where near the classic 1/3 frame composition subject locations. Sure you can crop to a pleasing composition, but you'll be throwing away many many pixels.If you're a point and shoot bulls eyeing bozo you'll love this camera, otherwise avoid it and wait until Canon fixes the fatal flaw.

After my 10D died three and-a-half years ago, I decided to "fast" from photography until I could afford the camera I wanted. The 5D always looked like a great camera, but it was never enough to spur me to commit to the purchase. When the 5D Mark II was announce, my interest was piqued. When the production models started hitting the street, and the reviews started coming in, I gave in. I've been shooting the 5D Mark II for seven months, and I am in love. It delivers the promise of digital photography. It is a nearly perfect balance of quality, features and price. If you shoot in a way that demands the full-frame sensor, it's worth every additional penny over the APS-C sensor cameras. I am enjoying my EF lenses in a way that I have not since I shelved the A2-e and gave up on film. The low-light performance is astonishing. I even had to retire one of my all-time favorite low-end lenses because the sensor image quality showed every defect in the lens! Thanks to the excellent work Canon has done, I am in love with photography again.

I used to own Nikon FM10 35mm film SLR, I enjoyed shooting long exposure shots at night in city areas, when I switched to DSLR, the first one was Canon EOS Rebel XT, I tried the same night long exposure and the photos always have lot of grainy red dots, no matter how much the ISO is low and different size aperture.Then I bought Canon 40D, and I got the same problem, I even tried Nikon D90, the red dots were reduced, but still very noticeable. The exposure time was always less than 30 seconds, but the shooting was always in the city night, were there are always light pollution.Finally I got the 5D Mark II, and I did few testing and the red dots were very minimal, my friend gave me a tip, to disable the long exposure comp in the camera, which is the opposite of what someone should do, but that did the trick, the shots looked much better and cleaner. This is truly an amazing sensor, that can match the 35mm film quality.

The dreaded "black dot" phenomenon that I keep reading about does not seem to be happening to me. I have tried to duplicate it and have had, well, good luck. Duplicating the black dots in low light high ISO conditions with pinpoints of light would be bad luck. For those of you out there who have this, I am sorry. I have had many lemon products in my life. I think my karma for that has hopefully run out till my next life.So far the camera is performing as expected which is amazing. I have jumped from measly 20D to this and I am amazed at the leap. i am also very glad I waited. I almost bought a 5D months ago and all the props here has to go to my brother, who soundly instructed me to wait it out. And wait I did. I ordered the camera in November and got it only a few days before Christmas. Quite a present.Of course you need a few good lenses with this camera to capture it's full essence. My old EF-S lenses fro my 20 D are NOT compatible. Heed this warning people. Move to the Canon L series lenses. Hopefully they will last a lifetime. I am not sure when, if ever I will need another SLR. 21 megapixels is quite a lot. I am sure at some point there will be 500, 800, 1000, even several thousand megapixels. lets just hope I can use my eyes as lenses then and plug the memory card to my head to download the images. For now I am set with this.The screen is a vast improvement over the 20D which was almost a measly after thought. I have bigger screens on tiny point and shoot cameras. It also has live view which comes in handy. The digital video is flawless, although I have not figured out how to do autofocus with it yet. It may not be able to, which would seem odd to me. The video is a bonus for me but autofocus for it seems an obvious necessity.I did almost drop it while attaching it to a new tripod. God was smiling at me as I did catch it. Be careful! It is like a small fortune for this thing.One final note... Do not buy the camera for this price. It sells for around $3500.00 with the 28-105 l series lens. I am not sure how these jokers think they can sell for this much and I would love to hear from anyone who paid this much.Remember the body sells for about $2500.00. Try B&H Photo.

I was scared to spend the money but when i received the camera i was pretty sure i had made the right decision. The menu system is very similar to the 50D so i was able to start making custom settings instantly. The 'bulb' setting is a welcome feature compared to the 50 and as is the 3 custom settings instead of 2. Image quality is awesome along with the full frame sensor to bring out the best of my L series lenses. Take the time to sign on to the canon registration since you get extra perks as a 5D owner.

If you are considering buying this camera, you need only to ask one question. Can i afford it? If the answer is yes then buy it. In my youth i often wondered why anyone would pay so much for a camera, i now know. Thank you canon for the education and an awesome camera.

I have used and own Nikon and Canon DSLR cameras for the last 5 years, from Nikon D40, Nikon D70, Canon 40D, Canon 50D and finally bought myself a full frame camera from Canon 5D Mark II. I can't be happier.... I love how I could do micro adjustments on my lenses, and love it that it captures the HD videos. It has been my professional work camera for the last 6 months and I like the results. It really stands up with the 24-105 lens and 80 f1.5 for portrait. I have the 70-200 F4 L IS with it, but I like it better with 24-105 and 85 1.8This camera has been a blessing. I just wished Canon has the on/off switches near the click button... just like Nikon. Other than that, I love this camera!Update: recently I purchased the 85 L 1.2 The combination of 5D Mark II with this lens is AMAZING! That's all I could say.

I'm doing a large scale documentation project photographing objects on a copy stand. Was pretty sure I was going to use Nikon bodies as thats what I'm familiar with. I tested several bodies and it came down to a 5d MkII or a D3. I'vee never been a pixel peeper but it was clear that that the added resolution with the 5D made a big difference and it was too ignore. Also it comes with the software you need to tether the camera which is nice. My biggest complaint is the ergonomics, big and clunky. Luckily I don't have to handle too much, because I definitely think Nikons are better in this regard. Also Canon's RAW format is less proprietary than Nikon's which does make a big difference to me.

I just received my 5D Mk2 less than two weeks ago. I have ran it through probably 2000 actuations and just today noticed a very obvious dead pixel. I have not exposed it to any harsh conditions, although I was hoping to be able to. I am sending it back for an exchange but I am very disappointed. I will re-review when I receive the replacement. I've been putting this off and finally jumped to get this camera and just don't know how to feel. I feel at bit cheated at this point, but we'll see.

I took deliver in mid-December and now have around 2,000 pictures, mostly taken on a cruise.The resolution is stunning, but only as good as the lens used. The 24-105 supplied in the kit is good, but a little soft compared to my very good EF-L 70-200 IS f4. I took 80% of my shots with the 24-105 but looked for opportunities to use the 70-200 instead, particularly for scenics. I'll probably buy a prime wide angle or wide angle zoom for the big, wide scencis, where the 24-105 gets particularly soft. As you'd expect, it's pretty solid through the middle of its range.Shooting at ISO 1600 and 3200 was amazing, yielding lots of early morning and late evening scenics and hand held candids of the kids inside. When I put on the Speedlite for a big New Year's party, those results were also stunning. Yet, for a full room shoot with baloons dropping, I went to ISO 3200 and used available light with a great result.I bought the 5D MkII for stills, so I haven't even tried the video yet. It's nice to have that on hand. I did use "live view" several times. That's quick and easy to use when you need it. I've used jpeg rather than RAW because I'd be taking so many photos. There are only four or five instances out of 2000 where I wish that I'd taken RAW. With the jpegs I cropped a dozen or so and altered contrast on just a couple. I generally shot the scenics at 1/3 stop under. I used the lens hoods 90+% of the time and kept a Hoya Pro UV filter on at all times.Black dots have not been an issue, but I haven't taken any shots that would lead to them, according to the causes I've read about.I'd rate the body-only as five-star and only give the 4-star overall for the kit, given the limitations of the 24-105 zoom in the kit. It's actually a very competitive zoom for this range, but I immediately saw a difference for the better with my EF 70-200. They're both L-series, but the wide angles are challenging for a super zoom. Given the low noise at 3200 ISO, I found the f4 lens speed to be plenty fast. The clarity at high ISO was the biggest positive surprise for me.

The Canon 5D Mark II is absolutely amazing! It is worth every penny and I am very pleased. I purchased this camera primarily for the Hi-Def video feature. I do professional video work and I can't say anything negative about this camera. This camera shoots video strait to an uncompressed Quicktime .mov file. It is not AVCHD, there is no conversion needed. These video files can be placed directly on to a Final Cut timeline without any conversion or rendering. (This saves soooo much time. i.e. no log and capture and no log and transfer and no conversion in any way!!) Picture quality is amazing. I only wish I could merge the features of the Canon XH-A1 video camera with the video quality and file format of the 5D!!!! I have never really been interested in still pictures . . . until now. I took a photo of some friends from 20 feet away, when viewed in photoshop with the zoom feature set to "actual pixels" the detail was as if I had used a macro lens from 2 feet away (This is due to the 21 mega pixels). Everyone who sees the stills is amazed and I have already made money as a professional photographer!! (That's a first!)Ok . . . the only thing about this camera I would change is I would give it XLR inputs and a manual gain control feature and a meter to visually monitor audio levels. I imagine that if Canon did this they would lose business because no one would need to buy a pro video camera, they could just buy this! Otherwise, the audio pick up is decent . . . it's good enough to sync with the audio from other cameras, and it worked just fine with a shotgun mic and a wireless lapel mic.
