Review on Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Camera by Jnis Dvids Tts ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

In general, I was very pleased with the camera, taking into account the sinking prices. As a landscape and studio machine, perhaps only the NIKON 3DXcommpetes with a claim to victory, but for other money. I will wait for the 1D Mark IV as a reporting camera. Friends brought 5D Mark2 for 90,000 along with a battery handle and an additional battery. The mostcommplete review with a gallery of images on the site

Pros
  • 1) Full-format matrix 24x35mm. It is convenient to control the depth of field and the width is really wide. 2) 21Mp. The detail of the pictures is excellent. Something that was a little lacking in the previous version of 5D. 3) Gorgeous screen 920,000 dots. The sharpness of an image can be assessed without the aid of a computer. 4) Video quality 1920 x 1080 30fps. pleased. For static "live videographies" very even. 5) "Priority of lights". Handy thing when shooting certain scenes. 6) "My menu". Quick access to frequently used functions. 7) The battery pack is like a "poured-in" sits. On the previous version 5D dangled. 8) Batteries last longer. 2 batteries are enough for 1400-1700 shots, if economical. Video energy eats without hesitation. 9) Camera noise at ISO 800-3200 is lower than on 5D (v.1), 1Ds MARK III and even 1D Mark III. 10) The quality of the pictures in RAW format was pleasing. 14-bit processing and a new nimble processor with improved algorithms at high ISO (1000-2022) give good results. Sunsets and sunrises are transmitted more accurately. 11) Modes C1, C2, C3 allow you to quickly switch between different shooting situations. 12) The menu has become more convenient: an external flash can be adjusted, shooting parameters can be displayed on a large screen (sometimes this is convenient). 13) The viewfinder is large and bright. 14) Separate adjustment of focusing accuracy for 20 lenses. Vesch! 15) MiniDVI output for connecting the camera to a TV. You can watch Full HD from the camera. 16) Shutter sound pleased, softer and quieter than 5D v.1 17) The case was rubberized and protected from moisture 18) Life-view has become better. 19) Macro focusing with screen magnification makes life easier. 20) I didn’t forget about protecting the matrix from dust. In the old five there was such a problem. 21) RAW files in 3 sizes. 22) 14-bit image processing 23) Vignotting correction directly in the camera with a large database of lenses and extenders 24) Several levels of correction for the brightness of dark areas of the image.
Cons
  • 1) With a battery pack, it is not very convenient to control the joystick in the mode of shooting vertical frames. 2) At standard settings, the jpg quality is worse than that of NIKON D3X. Shuodav needs to be turned off. 3) It is unrealistic to take photos during the video. Focus is slow + noise is recorded. Those. video only for static or with a certain skill with manual control of focus and aperture. 4) You need an external stereo microphone. Mono sound is written as standard. 5) After 1D Mark III, the location of the points on the focusing screen is too in the center . Stretch them over the entire field + more points + 100% field of view. 6) Smart memory is needed + a lot. RAW files are 20-35 mega.7) The focusing system is worse than 1D MArkIII, but better than 5D v.1. You will have to believe it at dusk with a 24-105 4L lens. 8) The screen decently embellishes the picture. 9) It’s better to forget about budget optics. 10) Exposure compensation + -2EV in steps of 0.33 or 0.5. It could be expanded to + -3EV2022) I would like 5 frames per second, but then Canon will come on its tail2022) A stabilized matrix would also not hurt, but it's hard to wait. Canon makes too much money on optical stabilization.
