Review on Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Camera by Jaewon Hahm ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

I did not shoot the video, because. there is no need for this. I shoot exclusively in RAW (otherwise I don’t see the point in buying such a camera). I fully share the thesis that it is not the camera that shoots, but the photographer. I took more than 10 thousand pictures with this camera, of which about 5-10% (depending on the shooting conditions) were not in focus. Possibly crooked hands. I advise you to pay attention to the limited use of slow shutter speeds when shooting handheld (from 1/80 and longer), because. the effect of "shake" is possible. In my opinion, because of the overall weight of the camera.

Pros
  • Beautiful plastic pattern (subject to the use of L-optics). The capabilities of the lenses of this series are fully revealed precisely on the FF. Convenient on-board controls. Convenient menu. In my opinion, very good ergonomics. When shooting for a long time (wedding, corporate event, etc.), it is advisable to use hand fasteners, because. the weight of the device with such a lens as 24-70 / 2.8 L and a flash is significant. Hands get very tired. Fully working ISO-800. Quite a good battery, although I immediately bought a second one, because. I shoot sometimes for several hours in a row.
Cons
  • 1. Price. 2. Absence of the "Masterpiece" key (it's time for the manufacturer to think about this, otherwise some amateurs buy this device just for this, and then start to sin on it, due to the lack of "output" masterpieces). 3. When shooting with a 24-70 L lens, it significantly pulls the hands. Real heaviness. But it is, rather, a stone in the garden of glass.
