Review on Old Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II Full Frame DSLR Camera (Body Only) - Review, Specifications, and Pricing by Wiktor Kowalczyk ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall pretty good, an equal number of pros and cons.

If you're in the market for a new camera in 2022, you may want to consider the EOS R5, as new lines of kenon optics have been announced for this system and the old EF optics can be installed through a native adapter, while the 5D4 is technologically obsolete and the secondary market can offer much more interesting options for the same price, such as the mark 3 +.

Pros
  • It appeared that autofocus on a number of spots had improved, leading to generally sharper photos.
Cons
  • Even with native LP-E6N the charge is consumed extremely quickly; it would appear that technology is advancing and electronics are becoming less power-hungry, but not from Canon. The video capabilities are still for show (due to restrictions on the recording format and the lack of necessary details). 4-5 like the 5DSR, typically shoots without blurring at shutter speeds from 1/200 and shorter, on telephoto cameras you have to raise the ISO, you will need to eat the optics fleet, if you have lenses from the penultimate generation and older, the picture will be soapy at 30 matrices, the same pretty decent colors at ISO up to 1600 and the same hard software "improvers" the picture is quite pleasant, "proprietary" unlike competitors, days as actively as possible to test Errors within the first 14 days indicate a likely fault in the main board and warrant a return for a replacement.
