Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I pre-ordered a Canon 5D2 on September 17.I emailed Amazon on October 25 asking about the camera's ETA.Amazon replied with an apology and stated that they would upgrade my shipping to next day when the camera was received by Amazon and was ready to ship. I clicked the link on their email saying that I was satisfied and that the issue was resolved.Around a month later I received an email from Amazon stating that my order had been removed by Amazon because I had not responded to an email of October 18 stating that I had to give permission for the order delay or my order would be removed.I NEVER GOT THAT EMAIL! So they removed my order because I never responded to an email WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED!But notice that my email of Oct 25 was answered by Amazon with that apology and quick ship assurance which I approved of by clicking their acceptance link that the problem was resolved.When I spoke to Amazon "customer service," they would not reinstate my order. SO, they effectively made me put my name at the bottom of another merchant's waiting list two months after I had ordered the camera from Amazon. If they cared about my business, they would have done right by me ... but they don't care. This can happen to ANY Amazon customer at any time.Rest assured that B & H would NEVER do this to one of their customers, and that THEIR customer service doesn't consist of robots with heavy accents.

Now that the new Rebel T1 is out and some of the features of the Mark II, such as video (yes 720p only) and low light capability have trickled down, that makes my choice a little more difficult as an interested hobbyist. While I do understand that the new Rebel doesn't have the same sensor (and what that means), I ask myself if the additional weight of the Mark II will bother me. Obviously, that is a subjective factor, but I'd be interested in opinion from those who have purchased the Mark II or the T1 (just out for a few days, so there may not be many of you out there yet). The new Nikon 5000D muddies the waters even more. Of course, which camera to buy is not a REAL problem, it's a luxury problem. Any commentary on similar choice welcome.

Do you find that you purchase good stuff rather than mediocre stuff and then deal with the hassle of selling and upgrading later? Rarely find yourself comparing "toys" and you don't have the best (or close to the best?) What if getting close to the best camera didn't cost an arm and a leg to get, then..... If you're like most of us, read all the reviews you can find (thats the fun part.) ... then you'll probably end up purchasing this camera even though you don't know it yet.I purchased this camera in Jan 2009 once I could find it msrp. Have since purchased 2 "L" lenses the 35 f1.4 and 85 f1.2 hence, it rare that I'll find myself envying someone else's equipment ... or pictures for that matter.The only real mediocre aspect about this camera is the AI-Servo ... Auto Focus results in low keeper rates, try manually focusing. The in focus pictures are awesome even when printing 30" posters.

Don't get me wrong here, this is a powerhouse of a DSLR and kicks butt on Nikon. I also own a 20D & 5D along with my new 5D Mark II. It would be great if I could use the batteries from the 20D & 5D in the 5D Mark II

The 5d Mark II is a very sturdy pro camera. The original 5d was the camera of choice for many full-time National Geographic photographers because of its outstanding image quality coupled with a small portable body. For the Mark II, Canon has added weather sealing, a host of dust reduction features, an expanded ISO range, and increased resolution (no small feat), along with a handful of other features. ISO 5000 on the Mark II is comparable to ISO 1600 on the original 5d, in my opinion. This camera is a workhorse for anyone who needs pro camera features coupled with portability. Ideal for hikers or the traveling photographer. Black dot issue? 100% fixed with a recent firmware update from Canon. This camera is, for me, more intuitive to use than the D700 and the pro features are worth the extra money over the EOS 50d. An 8gb flashcard will hold about 250 RAW photos.

My D5 Mark II with EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM had a focusing problem in Auto and manual modesI thought maybe I was missing a setting or something, but after many dozens of test pics and several readings of the manual I can promise you that: indoors or out, zoomed in or out, high F or low, AF or Manual, this camera couldn't take a clear picture. Every image is slightly out of focus.Canon support offered to repair it but can't exchange for new. Pavillion is giving me an exchange.There are too many good reviews to say it's the design. Must be quality control.I'll let you know how it goes.

When I pre-ordered this camera at a quality camera store, I was number 150+ on the waiting list and was told this was the most anticipated camera to ever come out thus far. I was able to get one from B&H quicker though and paid the normal price of $2700. The camera is very well built with a sturdy frame, large 3" review screen, full frame sensor (which means it doesn't have the built-in 1.6 magnification as do most DSLRs. This camera offers a huge upgrade from the 5D in the sharpness of images, ISO range, etc. I'm very impressed with the sharpness and color of the images. I would definitely recommend it at the normal price.

The previous reviewer was right B&H photo did have the camera in stock. They do not have the body only in stock. They only have the kit that comes with the 28-105 IS L series lens. I ordered it today with overnight shipping and it will be here by Wednesday! Just in time for Christmas.

That's almost 200% over list price! Wow I wish someone from Amazon would tell these retailers to get lost with the major price gouging. This is a cool camera but it's more than expensive enough at MSRP thank you very much. Shameful.

This camera list for $2699 from Canon. I hope no one is stupid enough or desperate enough to pay the price listed on your site. I can not believe that Amazon is listing the camera for this price.

В итоге, если рассмотреть его онли как фотик, то модель сильная. Уделывает всех конкурентов выпустивших камеры в эти же дни. И все эти басни про шум, ХА, шаг исо, пиксели, и размер последних на матрице - чушь. И когда РО в редакторе у всех примерно одинаков по возможностям. И, к примеру, никон со своими фотками весом в 70 мб, против марка 2 с весом в 25 мб, даже проигрывает по запасу тени и света. Другими словами с РО кэнона вытащить получилось больше чем у конкурента от никон.

У некоторых такие камеры продержались более 1000000 кадров. Затвор реально превзошёл все ожидания. Качество картинки, как всегда, на высоте. 5 де марк-2 революционная модель, которая открыла новую нишу.

Хорошая фото камера

Отличный фотоаппарат. Приобрели за 50 тысяч рублей вместе с объективом. Пользуемся долго , никаких перебоев Экран не сенсорный, но надёжный. Видоискатель показывает картинку точно. Недостатков нет. Подходит для профессиональной и полупрофессиональной съёмки. Фотоаппарат нам обошёлся недорого. Если б был дороже может нашёл какие нибудь недостатки,...

Купил я 5д марк 2 в 2020 году после кропа сони. Это конечно небо и земля. Должен сказать что для фото , если оценивать само качество...

Снимаю год. Сравнивал в лицо с Никон 7200.
Никон почти всем лучше.
Я бы сказал всем - но кому то нравится кенонвская желтизна, мне нет.
Когда снимаешь чувствуешь...
