Review on Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Camera by Anastazja Skarbie (J ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice price, good quality.

In general, I can say that any camera is just a tool in the hands of a photographer. If you expect that by buying it you will automatically start getting masterpieces and it will change your life, you are going the wrong way. It all depends on the skill and hands of the photographer. No need to blame the jambs and shortcomings of your photos on cameras. Look at books on the history of photography, go to museums, search the net and see how good technical quality people achieved 100 years ago. But their cameras were much less perfect than any of the cheapest DSLRs of our time! The sophisticated equipment just makes the shooting process easier, but does not mean that you automatically get a masterpiece. As Ernst Haas very rightly said: "Leika, shmeika. The camera doesn't matter a penny. They only capture what you see. And you have to SEE."

Pros
  • Good camera. FF, the color rendition is very pleasing, in the studio and in portrait shooting - well, just very happy :)
Cons
  • In my opinion, the only major drawback of this camera is the very slow and buggy autofocus system - a real drawback for a camera of this class. In reportage shooting, this often fails .
