Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

The DIGIC 4 processor blows pretty much every other camera out of the water. It displays ISO 3200 with the amount of noise of a ISO 800 shot on the older DIGIC 2 & 3 models (ISO 1600 looks like ISO 640). The detail you get out of a 21.1 MP image is unbelievable... My only warning is to get a big memory card. If you are shooting in RAW, you're looking at 25-30MB per picture (10MB in JPEG). I get about 430 shots out of a 12.0GB card in RAW. Also, the RAW files can't read in many RAW reading programs, so you'll need Adobe DNG Converter (free at Adobe's site) or Adobe CS4.Combine this camera with a low f-stop lens and you're in for a real treat.

I've had this camera since December and it is better than I thought it will be. I read the reviews before I bought in which people complained about the focus. It is true that you need to be much more careful about focus with this camera (I came from a 20D.) It's not that there's anything wrong with the camera. To the contrary, it's that the detail is so good that your focus mistakes show up more. Use good lenses, use good technique and the results you get will amaze you.

I became adicted to photography with my 40D and after a year or so I started to see it's limitations. So I made the leap and bought the 5Dm2 and have been in love ever since. There are many technical reviews here and I recommend reading them all. This camera is not for everyone.

Who this is for (in my humble opinion):
- Those that primarily shoot in low light situations.
- the benefits from full frame and the 5D's amazing ISO
capabilities are amazing. I have pics at 3200 ISO with no noise.
- Portrait photographers.
- The picture quality is unbeatable (unless you tack on an
additional couple grand or more for the 1D)
- The 21.2 Mp gives you so much room to play with

Those who this may not be the best option:
- Sports photographers!
- I still use my 40D for those senarios where I want a lot
of fps. and reach. While the picture will always be better
with the 5Dm2, 3.9fps is very slow in my opinion. Just
something to consider.
- The full frame vs crop factor is interesting and you will
see it first hand when you put your lenses on this baby.
My 70-200 just became a walk around lense and has forced
me to beg my wife to buy the 100-400 and a 2x extender. My
17-40 just became an amazing wide angle.

Maybe it's just me but it seems that all of my lenses are so much sharper than before.

So, that is my humble opinion. This camera is all that it's cracked up to be and I haven't even talked about the video capabilities. Definitely worth the money.

I like this camera. It really makes me look bad, as I used to be very trigger happy, and with this one, well, let's say that your errors get augmented. But, when, once in a while, I take a good picture, the results are superb!. I like it, because it challanged me to be better, to think better about the composition, and about the light, about the subject. It's my favorite camera now.

This is a great camera. The buttons can be a bit confusing, but I'm just getting use to them. The camera feels good in my hands - solid, substantial. The LCD on the back of the camera is large, bright, and clear. The various menus make life easier. I highly recommend this product. I've been using a Canon T90 film SLR since 1986 and if the 5D Mark II performs half as well I'll be delighted.

I just got my 5D mark II today from Amazon (not the cold-blooded 3rd party dealer). My order was Camera plus 24-105 lens kit at $3499 but somehow it came with body only. I need to work out with Amazon later. Anyway. My 1st DSLR is Canon 40D, which is my baseline for the comparison.Pros:1. Full frame = Real wide angle. My 17-40 lens can now work as it's supposed to.2. High ISO with amazing quality. The noise level at ISO 12800 (H1) in 5D ~= ISO 1250-1600 in 40D. Noise software (ex: Noiseware) can still produce an acceptable image with 12800. Poor quality in 25600 (H2) is expected, and it can be used just in case. So my upper limit boosts from 1250 in 40D to 6400 in 5D which is a 2-1/3 stop jump (Thanks for Johnny Chan's correction).3. High quality LCD with a light sensor, so no need to adjust LCD brightness from time to time. It's neat.4. Autofocus microadjustment by lens.5. Others such as high pixel, HD video, HDMI port... etc, but those are not really a must to me. Still can get 30x20 printout with 10MP 40D by Photoshop.Cons:1. Sync speed = 200ns in 5D while 250ns in 40D. I use Canon 580EX II a lot for portrait shots. So 1-stop shutter speed matters. (Even I can use high speed mode in 580Ex).2. Frame-per-second = 3.9 in 5D but 6.5 in 40DOverall, it's a great upgrade to me and worth every penny.------------------12/24/2008 update------------------1. After calling/email to customer support, Amazon has refunded $800 price difference in 10 hours. I cannot satify more than this.2. New RAW from 5D MK II is no longer supported by Photoshop CS3 and earlier versions. That means upgrading to Photoshop CS4 is a MUST if shooting with RAW. It's another "hidden" cost...3. Just got the battery grip BG-E6 today from Adorama for ~$270. The pros is now it takes 6 AA batteries or 2 LP-E3 (which is also expensive ~$75 and also out-of-stock in most of places)... The cons is too heavy for me along with 24-70mm 2.8L lens.

I have been using this camera for 5 months with about 10000 shots. To canon's credit, the images quality are excellent, so is the video. However, the huge pet peeve is the cheap memory card door. In order to hold this heavy camera, your palm will press firmly agaist the back of the handgrip, where the memory card door is located. This flimsy plastic door generates non-stop noise because of the pressure. This is particularly harmful when shooting video of concerts etc, as the noise gets amplified in the sound track. Extremely annoying in video play back. Can't Canon make a better card door for this $2700 camera?The other problem is several hot pixels when shooting video. Before I sent back the camera for service, I searched the internet and found a solution (now I forgot how, but it's searchable with keywords). It works fine now. I didn't bother to send it back.

I've had it for a couple of weeks now and I love it. It shoots in super low light! It does everything it claims to do. The picture is really what makes it worth it. It simply looks amazing. It has so much depth it almost looks 3D! No problems at all. No complaints. I highly recommend it!

Great sensor & image quality. However, the camera lacks many features one would expect from a $2700 camera:* Auto-focus points are poorly placed--they are a bit too close to the center (focus and recompose using center point doesn't work well due to shallow depth of field).* Outer auto-focus points hunt quite a bit. The camera feels non-responsive when using outer AF points (I'm coming from 40D, which has cross-type sensors for all AF points).* The CF card door creaks & is flimsy---this affects the grip.* The camera is quite heavy. Weight becomes a problem especially with heavier lenses (24-70L and 85 f/1.2L), where you get blurry shots more frequently (again, compared to xxD series cameras).* Lack of pop-up flash is bothering (although I have an external unit); If Nikon can do it, why can't Canon?* Lack of face-detection auto-focus during video recording. Expect to get a lot of out of focus videos.

I own the 5D, and decided to upgrade for the added megapixels and quality. The 5D is awesome...the 5D II is AMAZING!!!! I am sure this review is not going to make someone buy this camera...you have probably done tons of research about all the details. If you are wondering whether all you read is accurate and the camera is worth the money - YES! I feel this is the best bang for your buck in a compact, full-frame, semi-pro level camera. I use the camera mainly for landscape photography...the images captured are stunning. I recently enlarged a print to 20x30 and could not believe the quality and detail. This is not just an increase in megapixels, but rather an increase in QUALITY megapixels. The camera is not extremely large and expensive like the "Pro" level series. The camera's size makes it perfect for traveling and hiking into remote locations. I have not used the HD video yet, but that is not the intended use of the camera. The new batteries seem to last almost twice as long as those in my 5D.One note...either buy extra memory cards or a back-up drive to dump photos onto...the files are huge in RAW which is what I shoot. If you plan on any HDR or panoramas or a week in the field, a couple of 8gb cards will be full quicker than you expect. The file size will be more than welcome once you enlarge or crop a photo - like I stated earlier...stunning.

I am happy with the 5D mark 11. But I have on going issues. The screen decides to shut off by it's self when reviewing photos. It has frozen and then shuts off.This is when I am using the camera. I hate the idea of a video in the camera. Canon should have focused on the camera and not at all on video. I have all Canon due to investing in lens. Unsure if Nikon is better. My partner uses Nikon D3. He loves it. And craps on mine all the time. But over all Canon should have did more testing and spent more time and money on this Camera. And forget a video. Over all I would say it's a B- camera. I hate to say I like and trust my 50D more. I took the 50D to Argentina. It had no issues at over 10,000 shots and nearly a month from cold to jungles. But of course the 50D has major disadvantages over the 5D. Maybe step up to 1D.................that's a big jump.

Bought the 5d Mark II earlier this year. I'm a non-professional and first time full frame user. I've used a variety of cameras but not Nikon or Canon. I've EF lenses and have been using the camera for portraiture and scenic, in city, country, during winter and summer and am thrilled with the results (the enlargements are great). The movie function wasn't an issue for me as, although I've tried it with good results, I could've done without it. It's a little on the heavy side with the distance lenses which took a bit of getting accustomed to. No comment on price as, in my opinion, you often get what you pay for and I'm totally pleased. I work a lot in manual but I've not had any problem with the autofocus either. However, I did find it a little complicated at first - my problem not the mark II's.

Firstly, these reviews are for the products, people. NOT the seller. The review sticks with the item, not the sellers (which change frequently anyway). In any case, to those of you complaining the seller had "overpriced" the camera... um... don't buy it. It's economics, and rather simple economics at that: the best camera EVER was released just before Christmas, and it was sold out everywhere. If I were a seller with a few in stock, I'd charge an arm and a leg too. Geeez. Whiners.Anyway, to a quick review of the camera. It's freaking bloody fantastic. And I only use british slang when I'm really excited. Pictures taken with this camera, using L glass, look like doughnuts to Homer Simpson. I put on my 17-40mm F/4L and just walked around my house taking pictures of my dogs. AMAZING. I had a 40D before this (and many other cameras before), and I was very pleased with it. I really didn't expect to see this much of a difference.*** ONE THING EVERYONE WITH THIS CAMERA SHOULD READ! ***My copy of this camera was not refurb and not grey market, but it did have a couple hot ("stuck") pixels. Take an exposure with the lens cap on, for a few seconds. Now pixel-peep the image, either zoomed in fully on the LCD, or on your computer (easier). I had two bright red pixels (at any ISO, shutter speed, settings).I came across a solution in a post on some random forum, and it worked for me: Go to the camera settings and turn on "manual sensor cleaning". It will tell you to turn off the camera when you're done. Click OK to that, wait about 30 seconds, then turn the camera off. THAT'S IT!I was very saddened to think I'd either be returning my new camera or sending it in for pixel remapping, but now am STOKED that it's all fixed!

Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM LensAfter a few months of trial and light use, I took the 5D Mark II I bought in December abroad with me on a critical project. The 5D Mark II failed completely on the first day of the project, under good conditions and normal use. Canon Tech Support confirmed that the "blue screen of death" on the LCD screen indicated the camera was completely nonfunctional, and informed me that my only alternative was to wait until I returned to the U.S., and then ship the 5D Mark II to Canon for several weeks of repair.I informed Canon Tech Support that the total failure of a new 5D Mark II was not what I expected from that camera or from Canon. According to Tech Support, the failure of my 5D Mark II was "the luck of the draw", "everything fails", and while I travelled abroad in past years with functioning Canon DSLRs "someone else's Canon failed on the first day of their trip". This is not comforting.Although I had a (yes, Canon) backup camera, it does not have the low-light capabilities which are the distinctive marketing points of the 5D Mark II, and which were needed in some settings where I could not bring flash or tripod.The unreliability of the 5D Mark II is extremely disappointing. It remains to be seen what Canon is able or willing to do to correct the problem.

This camera takes fabulous photos and HD videos. The 24 - 105mm f/4L IS USM lens in the kit version is also superb--probably the best all-around lens you can get for this camera. The lack of autofocus in video mode is a slight drawback, but the HD quality is astounding. The only drawback I've found is the lack of reliability: mine has conked out twice already and had to be sent to the Canon repair center! Don't count on it as your only camera in a critical situation.

This camera is amazing. I've been a photographer for 15 years and I feel like I finally have the camera of my dreams. Beautiful low light photography, great full frame sensor...and as a very valuable bonus, HD video. I didn't think I'd use the video much but WOW, even my brother in law (who does video) was blown away with it's quality. I plan on using this camera till the shutter dies.

This is a wonderful camera. I shoot mainly outdoor, scenic nature photos. While the 5D is slightly larger and heavier than my 40D, it is not cumbersome or hard to work with. The high resolution/quality of the rear LCD screen is very useful in assuring a sharp focus when you are working with very shallow depth of field. The Quick Control Screen gives a simple way to use to review the current settings and change them if you wish. The only real drawback is the lack of a built in flash, not an issue for me, but it may be for others. I use the camera mostly with my 24-105 4L lense, a very comfortable fit. The full frame sensor and 21MP allow me to print larger images at high quality resolution. I did my homework b/4 I bought the camera and was not disappointed in its performance.

I's give this camera ten stars if I could! I LOVE it. See detailed reviews at sites like dpreview.com since there isn't enough space to go into it here.Suffice it to say, this is the camera we've been asking for since the D30 came out.

Yes, I have the mk2 in hand. About 5 days now. Pictures after processing looks very similar to the original 5d, which is good because I don't have to change my workflow AT ALL. Of course the differences being size/resolution, and .. now I don't have to have a different workflow for any ISO above 400. I am actually using auto ISO - previously unavailable on the original 5D - because the images look so good. It has not yet gone above 3200 in Auto mode (I have fast glass). It's smart enough to know your focal length and seems to generally go by the 1/focal-length rule for shutter speed, adjusting ISO at it needs to.Video? look on youtube for 5dmk2 Blueray Heli. Make sure you watch in HD.There's a couple things to get used to. 1) the shutter button is much more easy to press than the original 5d. I've taken a few accidental shots so far, but I'm learning. 2) the LCD resolution is fantastic. But in mixed light, esp. with fluorescents, the LCD shows kind of funky. Perhaps it is showing the true nasty nature of fluorescent lighting mixed with flash or sunlight.Files are huge, transfer is slow using usb2 now.No black dots so far. No banding. Don't believe all the hype. I'm sure people have problems, but it's been blown so way out of proportion.As far as Amazon, they're having trouble meeting demand like everyone else. The high prices are not theirs. If you don't like Amazon's price then go pick it up at a local retailer - you know the one with the big yellow sign - with a 10% coupon and cancel your order if they upset you so or if you really can't wait.

Bought this camera earlier this year. The only problem I see with it is it sometimes misses the mark on auto-focus. Very slow continuous shooting (only 3.9 fps) The Nikon D700 out-performs the Canon in fast focus situations. It would be a better choice for sporting events and racing. Other than that, the camera is a winner. Just keep your subjects still. You just can't beat the resolution, although jpg's are a little soft.One other thing, why would you pay Amazon's outrageous price when you can get it for $600 less at Best Buy ($2,700.00)? Even with taxes you lose buying it here? Even earlier this year I paid only $3,000 at BB.

I love the 5dmkii! If you use it you'll love it too. Just buy the thing and start shooting. Get some decent glass like the 24-70mm and you're off to the races.

Remember it's not about the camera... it's about what's in your head. That's what Helmut Newton would say!

I won't write a long review because others have obviously already done that on here. After using this camera for professional video shoots and photo shoots, I have to say I've never once been let down. I was disappointed that the video mode didn't allow full functionality, but now that Canon has updated the firmware to fix that problem, this is the ultimate camera for shooting film-like movies and commercial projects on a small budget. Sure there are better cameras out there, but probably not many that can shoot in low light in video mode and still get a great image. In other words, if you're a photographer, get this camera...if you're a film maker who doesn't have 40k for a red one, get this camera.

I've handled this camera and have one arriving in the morning. I've owned a 20D and a 5D classic. I was happy with both of them. The 5D in particular. There is a very detailed review that is well organized and like him, I will probably update this later.The product improvements are right in line with what I was looking for in improvements from the superb classic 5D. Just be careful where you buy it.As another reviewer has noted, the prices some retailers are advertising are outrageous. The Canon suggested price is the $2,695 for the body. For the Body plus the 24-105 kit lens, an L f/4, the priceis $3,495. There is an advertiser who is claiming the street price is 4,495. That does not speak well of Amazon's merchant program which can be very good.So buy one from a good seller, enjoy it and come back and write a good review. But don't get screwed on price by this disreputable people.A neutral comment on the 5D specs saying that it's lightweight. That's a relative question. Compared to the 1D series, it is relatively light. Compared to the classic Nikon F, the Olympus SLRs, etc. it is not light. It's more on a par with the later series of Nikon pro cameras. You won't find this a burden if you're 25 years old. You will tolerate it with some pleasure given the quality of the image. I usually use the 24-70 and 16-35 f/2.8. That's a lot more than it seems when you've got it for a full day. It is light for a full-frame DSLR. No complaints.

An amazing camera when paired with "L" glass. Image quality and menu functions are much better than the 1Ds MkII and 1D MkII. I would trade the video function for better weather proofing and more fps.
