Review on Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Camera by Krisha Thakur ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

I am new to photography, before that there was a film Zenith and two Canon digital SLRs - 300D and 30D. It so happened that for several years in a row I went to the same city at the same time (Shanghai, September-November). A year ago, it was considered cool to hang Nikon around the neck, but now there are posters with Jackie Chan everywhere, who advertises the "five" from Canon. Now Canon is cool there, and 5Dmark2 is super cool. There it is used by professionals (I saw several photo shoots on the streets). Pictures taken with different cameras are as different as the sun from the moon. The five makes pictures bright, clear, sharp, juicy (with the same lenses). The pictures taken by the Thirty - as if from the beginning of the last century. It feels like looking at grandmother's photos. And this is not a joke at all . The camera is not cheap, and with a set of appropriate lenses it is simply expensive, but it also brings a lot of joy. I go abroad every year for three to five months and the camera justifies itself, but it would be a mockery to recommend it to everyone (for my kit - only a camera + three lenses - I paid 296 thousand). But you need to buy more related products. If all additional accessories (waterproof cases, lens bags, backpacks, tripods, heads, flashes, care products, filters, flash drives, batteries, all kinds of belts, etc.) are of the appropriate quality, then you can safely add another hundred or one and a half thousand. The camera itself is great, but when buying it, you should keep in mind other costs for related products. You can spend that kind of money - highly recommend. I wish the rest of amateur photographers not to despair - life changes quickly and in a couple of years dreams can become a reality.

Pros
  • For five months on a business trip, he never once remembered the need for an outbreak. Even handheld night shots from the ship are sharp and clear. Viewing angles have become wide. You can shoot with an ordinary "fifty kopeck" like a wide-angle lens. The sensations are amazing, but you need good lenses. More often than others, I use 50L / 1.2 - an expensive, but versatile and very high-quality "automatic".
Cons
  • Heavy for travel. The racist policy of the company (absolutely serviceable matrices are sold only on the local market, but we are sold culling) . True, all Japanese companies / manufacturers of photographic equipment do this.
