Review on Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Camera by Hien Quang ᠌
The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.
In general, colleagues, 5DII is a very good camera. By the way, the previous first penny (5D) was also and to this day remains a very good camera. But the second one is even better :-) First of all, because of the convenience of managing settings, low noise and the presence of Live View. Mark two has stepped far ahead and it would be psychologically difficult to return from it to mark one. And secondly, the improvements relate to the picture. It is better than the first penny, but the difference is not as obvious as the difference in ergonomics and performance. In some reviews, people compare 5DII with 40D / 50D crops, but in my opinion this is not entirely legitimate. Either these authors did not try to shoot with crops after the five, or they did not try to shoot with the five themselves. Believe me, the difference is very significant, primarily in terms of colors and DD, not to mention the properties of the full frame. Is it worth it or not worth the money - a difficult question. Today it is an advanced camera, the flagship of creative DSLRs, it cannot be cheap by definition. But at the same time, I would call it affordable, in fact. a huge number of amateurs (those for whom photography is not a profession) buy this particular camera and shoot it for their own pleasure.
- - Weighs noticeably less than the first nickel; - also more comfortable in the hand; - a lot of new convenient little things in the interface and management, which you quickly get used to; - the new canon menu after getting used to it is definitely better than the old one; - Live View - very useful and convenient, especially when shooting with fast manual lenses; - video - just wonderful, did not expect; - Low noise, it is quite possible to shoot at ISO 3200; - the picture is cleaner and more transparent than the first patch, as if there is more fill light (subjectively); - I like the colors, the 5DII matrix transmits a wide variety of color shades. Almost all lenses open in a new way; - In fact, this is the first camera, most of the photos from which do not need to be processed; - DD according to subjective sensations is wider than that of the first 5D (although tests on dpreview say otherwise); The dust shaker is really effective. With frequent lens changes, the dust remains many times less compared to my previous cameras: 5D and 30D; - large high-quality screen with auto-adjustment of brightness; - 21 megapixels is a lot, but some lenses even allow such a huge matrix. In other cases, you can shoot in reduced sRAW and save space.
- - Gluttonous to the battery. Especially when using Live View. You can safely buy 2-3 more spare batteries, they will not be superfluous; - Not very convenient switching to video mode, I would like a separate button for it. - auto BB is strange, the default picture of my 5DII instance was noticeably colder than I see with my eyes. With the first penny, this feeling did not arise. As a result, on the second one, I set WB Shift +3 to the yellow side; - with the noise reduction turned off, the image almost always has weak low-frequency "red-green" color noise, characteristic of a digit. At the first penny, I did not notice them, there the noise was strictly "black", more like a film. In general, this is not a problem, if you don’t specifically look closely, then you can’t see them, but I’m just stating this fact, in support of those who like the picture of the first nickel more :-) - the camera loves bright colors (perhaps it is imprisoned for the Japanese physiology of vision :). If there is bright red or bright green in the frame, then it somehow enhances them, makes them even brighter and cleaner. In principle, it doesn’t irritate, but the old penny treated flowers more restrainedly, without fanaticism :-) - Autofocus, according to my feelings, is the same as that of the first penny, that is, only the central cross-shaped sensor works confidently. They could add something newer, five years have passed after all :-)
