Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

I have been using it for over 2 years. The device is serious, heavy and requires respect. I take it on trips, I carry it in my backpack - it's hard, but the torment is worth it. I won’t lie about autofocus, sometimes it smears. But in spite of everything, the best shots were taken by him. It is painful to compare stupid old pictures with an old soap box. M II can do everything - you need to learn how to use it (I still have not learned how). The thing is legendary. Whether you need it or not…

Pros
  • The quality of photos and videos with a certain skill and "direct" hands. Excellent writes video with 24-105 Is.
Cons
  • Requires a backpack and a strong back. Ergonomics for three plus. Focus takes skill. AF smears.

Nothing unusual, normal product.

If you use this camera in an environment with adequate lighting, such as a studio or outside during daytime hours, the resulting photographs will have a high level of quality. But, if the lighting is complicated, such as around twilight or when dragging shadows from RAV, the noise level will already be between ISO 200 and ISO 400. If you shoot at ISO 800, 1600, or higher, there appears to be no noise; yet, evidence of intra-chamber noise reduction are obvious to the naked eye; as a result, the…

Pros
  • Taking high-quality photographs with a 35mm sensor under bright light Video filming
Cons
  • Noisy Matrix. Under the influence of artificial illumination, colors that are repulsive. Inconvenient management. Issues with the video recording process. Issues with syncing over wireless networks. There is not an internal flash. Overcharge.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

I shot a lot of films, and I also shot digital for more than 8 years, including Canon 400D, but to get exactly the result that you dream about and what was conceived before shooting comes true with almost 100% probability - it's just a miracle, I'm sure that a lot of amateur photographers would agree with me if the camera were a little cheaper, and the optics are also not cheap for it, but if you want to shoot, if you really fell ill with photography in its diverse genres, then the amount spent

Pros
  • I started taking photographs from the age of 10, so I am an amateur photographer with more than 40 years of experience, I don’t want to go into technology now, but I want to say only one thing, I didn’t hold this camera more obediently in my hands.
Cons
  • Is it a little heavy in weight, but for a man this is not a problem)

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

From the first minutes I was pleased with the picture, color rendition. On the full matrix, there is only one competitor (from Canon) and this is 1Ds. It is clear that in many respects it is a cut above, including 2 heads in price. I am very pleased with the purchase and in the near future I am going to take another penny in order to work with two fixes at the same time! The perfect technique will never appear - Canon has very thoughtful marketers, and today this is an ideal value for…

Pros
  • Extended dynamic range Sufficiently accurate focusing both in the center and in secondary points The battery can withstand up to 2022 shots per day, the ability to accurately control the discharge in% Video full-HD 1920 * 1080 - amazing picture Additional functions in the menu: my menu, lens distortion compensation, front and back focus adjustment Full-frame sensor - exploiting the full potential of available optics Sensitivity range up to 25600 Fairly low noise at high ISO Exceptional image detail: 22 million pixels 70 000r - an adequate price for this product! Lightweight compared to a series of units!
Cons
  • The mode selection ring is not fixed. Sometimes in the heat of shooting, you can accidentally touch and move to another mode. After a series of 200 frames, the “noise” of the picture increases quite a lot even at minimum iso. On the full matrix, vignetting is clearly visible even on top glasses! In video shooting mode, it is not possible to use autofocus during shooting, and it is quite difficult to focus on the screen, especially with a small depth of field. A belt for top models could be made comfortable and ergonomic! Price for additional accessories (batteries from 6000 - this is nonsense)

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…

Pros
  • - 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.
Cons
  • - 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 :-)

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

After my torment with noise on all previous cameras - it's just a rest! :-))) A working ISO can be 800 or even 1600 without problems, the resulting noise is removed with a bang by NetImage, as a result, even very decent pictures are obtained! Everything else is also top notch. They wrote a lot about the creaking battery cover - I don’t know - I don’t creak. Battery - during the holidays I shot about 500 frames, returned, and continued to shoot - charging was never useful :-))) In general, the…

Pros
  • A very good picture, little noise, quite a clear drawing, full frame, etc. - there are a lot of them.
Cons
  • Not found yet :-)

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

Compared with my old 40D. In terms of noise, the nickel wins, though not by much, it captures a large picture, and its wide-angle shots are brighter and more expressive. If it’s important for you to video - take a patch, if there is no noise at high ISO - Nikon D700 is more suitable. In general, if you compare 350d and 5d mark II and then compare 5d mark II and some Phase One P45, then in the first case the difference in the quality of the obtained images will not be very significant, but in…

Pros
  • Video, ff
Cons
  • multi-megapixel does not greatly affect detail. The same Nikon D700 will be almost the same detailed at its 13MP. The battery is not very good.

The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

I worked with almost all Canon cameras . But then there was a need to take another camera for my wife . Let's just say - I'm not disappointed, but I'm not enthusiastic either - that's for sure . Maybe, of course, I'm biased (I've been working as a few for the last few years) . And the first 5 shot more sincerely . But I’ll say a few words in defense - the focus is tenacious, and you can shoot a report with them (of course, not on a serial one) 22 Mp ?! To be honest, it’s a lot, my wife scored…

Pros
  • Full-frame, High working ISO, Lightweight, Bright viewfinder, Easy operation
Cons
  • a small body (it’s uncomfortable to hold - two fingers dangle in the air, and with L-kami there is no weight distribution - the optics outweigh the camera and it twitches on the belt (((. Disgusting built-in microphone, Ridiculously few focus points . There is no BB - apparently that’s why with camera, a new tricked-out program for processing photos is coming) Immediately take a spare battery - and preferably two))))

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

I shot with a Canon 400D for three years, because I shoot weddings, I decided to switch to full format . I switched . to say that I could say "Wow!" - I will not say. Yes, the camera is good, it allows you to do a lot of things, a lot of additional features have appeared. Detailing has become higher. But I did not feel a huge difference between him and the four hundred. The amount of noise has become much less, but not as much as I thought. The real shooting limit is ISO 3200 (and then you need

Pros
  • Excellent detail, natural natural colors, large bright display, large bright viewfinder, autofocus adjustment for different lenses, awesome video quality.
Cons
  • The rate of fire could have been done more, a poor autofocus system, a built-in flash, I still think it would not be superfluous.

What can I say - the camera is a legend. The cheapest FF brick (probably still is), and at the same time everything is done at the level - nothing creaks, no noise. The camera is 100% satisfied. himself an amateur. With its pros. Everyone has already described the advantages of the device quite a lot: 1. FF - here the optics starts to work as it should! 70-200 2.8 began to work in a completely different way (in a good way)! 2. Relatively high working ISO (of course, with maximum noise…

I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

a working machine - whatever it saw: the sun in the open, portraits by the light of the iPod, or the studio with its closed apertures. I don't like autofocus. I like the work of auto white balance, let me down in priority modes, but this is rather my mistake / habit "creaky body" - no matter how hard he tried - could not creak with the body. they say heavy, but compared to 1d, d3 - in my opinion not heavy) I don’t like the mode knob, I would prefer the button like on the tops, because I’m…

Pros
  • light sensitivity, comfortable body, live view, large viewfinder (if you still put on a magnifying glass, it’s even cooler)
Cons
  • slow AF, even slower in live view.

Great product, a pleasure to use.

Great machine for slow shooting. When there is enough light when posing. Absolutely not suitable for shooting a reportage, sports . - slow auto-focus, shooting speed. Compared to the Canon EOS 6D Body, in my opinion the Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body will be better. 5D2 was originally positioned as a top model, and 6D as a budget ff - hence the build quality. The presence of chips such as WiFi and other things, I consider pampering :). I do not use it often, because. there is 1Dx, which is…

Pros
  • Image quality. Sensor, the same as on the top studio 1Ds Mark III.
Cons
  • "brake" and focusing and shooting.

this is really a very good and high quality tool for the perfectionist lover. especially if it is supplemented with L-optics. Very, worthy and interesting opportunity to record very high quality video. Although it is not easy to use and requires a professional approach to the process . Z. Y. Honestly, it's funny to read the comments of people talking about the lack of stops on breaking, while shooting in RAW and putting their hands on their heads in post-processing :)

Pros
  • as a system: there is everything for the "happiness" of an amateur with money. full frame. HD video full frame with L-optics. low noise high ISO. all buttons are in place. control/menu intuitive quality product.
Cons
  • CF lid creak.

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

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.

Great product, best quality.

Camera for professionals. After my first 500d, and the previous 7d and 2 years of using them, it's just a Camera. and the rest, as they say, is a soap box. Because even at 7d, noises at 1600 kill colors and the pictures are no longer alive. and on 5d they don’t exist at all. I photographed a friend with a girl, in the evening after sunset, it was already gloomy, the Canon 70-200 4L lens, iso 1600, f4, the photos are simply amazing. there is no noise at 100% viewing photos. and the colors are…

Pros
  • fullframe. ISO 1600 no noise. Color rendition. Fast autofocus. Well made and fits perfectly in the hand. Especially with the battery pack. The picture quality is top notch. No flash. say it's negative. I will say it +. Looks worthy of respect. and not like a soap box with a flash. and on such a camera 580EX II just right.
Cons
  • After a year of using 7d, flash control is lacking, although 7d has it disgusting, but still it is. there are also not enough points after it, but enough. synchronization with flash 1/200, at 7d 1/250, 3.9 frames versus 8, although I never used it, I dabbled more. 4 is enough for the eyes. Not easy. pictures weigh a lot. sometimes 15mb photo comes out.

For my purposes, that will do! It just requires the purchase of a few additional lenses over time, and then I shall reach the pinnacle of bliss in photography! Has some pros Purchased at long last! I experimented with it when I was on vacation using a wonderful 35 mm lens, and it was just the right amount of magnification for my eyes. I took pictures of them in the gardens using a lens with a focal length of 70–200 millimeters and an aperture of 2.8. It was then that I realized the advantages…

After three years of shooting with a Canon 400D, I made the decision to transition to full format photography since I photograph weddings. I changed it so that it would say that I could say "Wow!" - but I won't say that. Well, the camera is very good; it gives you the ability to perform a lot of different things, and it has a lot of other capabilities that have been added. The level of detail has been raised. Yet in my experience, there was not a significant gap between him and the other four…

Pros
  • Superb detail, natural natural colors, large bright display, large bright viewfinder, autofocus adjustment for different lenses, excellent video quality.
Cons
  • The rate of fire could have been increased, the autofocus mechanism was subpar, and there was no built-in flash, but I do not believe these additions would be needless.

I didn³'t expect the quality to be this good.

Excellent camera for professionals and not only =). I will not, like many, talk about the nature of noise, whether it is film or digital, etc. To be honest, I don't care much. Switched to Canon EOS 5D Mark II from first EOS 5D. And then not immediately, the main arguments were: 1. 21 MP because most of my clients want to print 1m by 3m (and 2 by 6) photos with 13 megapixels it was difficult =) only if the panorama. 2. Video shooting function, before that I also carried an hdtv video camera,

Pros
  • physical size of the matrix, resolution, screen, full hd video shooting, etc. everything has already been said, I described my opinion in the comment.
Cons
  • There are no fundamental ones, except perhaps the prices for dopas, for example, native ones =), although you can buy an analogue for 20 bucks (2 accs + charging) on ​​ebay, for example, which differ only in the absence of a chip.
