Review on Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Camera by Ada Aleksandrowska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent product, the best quality.

For my needs, that's it! It remains to buy a couple more lenses over time, and I will have complete photographic happiness ! Has some pros Finally bought! I tried it on vacation with a 35 mm gorgeous lens - it was enough for my eyes! I shot them in the gardens (+ 70-200 / 2.8) and realized the beauty of the full frame - you can’t practically do without a flash on a crop, but here it’s just a nice thing ! I took the only camera, without comparison - the focus fell on 2 lenses, stupid ones, really, but it works like norms. As many people write, I didn’t notice problems with autofocus - it scribbles and hits normally. I don’t know where it’s faster - it’s even interesting to compare it with Mark 3 - but I haven’t had a chance yet. By the way, I heard a conversation of one famous photographer, she really liked the autofocus mark 3, but I liked the quality 2 more, there are no plasticine faces. If they had not piled up a bunch of pixels with unmeasured noise reduction, he would not have had a price. And to shoot in a ravine - this is the lope of everything that needs to be changed, and heavy, and not all programs still see . (I'm talking about 3 marks). And, alas, I don’t have time for such a restructuring of myself and equipment. Yes, and a jeep at full frame is almost the same as a rav on a crop. ;)) It is clear that this is a nizya to compare, but whoever does not suffer from troubles will understand me. In rabbi I shoot extremely important shootings such as a wedding or some special nature. And all sorts of banquets, receptions, school and kindergarten shootings - there are enough jeeps for the eyes, where you don’t need to bother with toning. There, ACDSee will bring you to mind. I also really like the balance of colors in 5d-2 - after my favorite for years pentax k7 - there are no more problems with the balance. Keeps straight. Yes, there is no such variety in steps and visibility as in the same k7, the colors are more neutral, but saturation can always be added, and there is no chaos in automatic mode. It shoots naturally, and this allows you to add color, and not suffer from parasitic tones and their damping. Some cons: I don't like the power button. I think its location and bifurcation into 2 modes is nonsense. You won’t even immediately realize that M works only in the upper mode in the form of a dash, and ON is semi-automatic. Something happened during the shooting - maybe some glitch of the card, but it's just unbelievable - about 200 photos were missing - they were visible on the screen, it seemed like everything was thrown off, but they weren't ! I have already downloaded a bunch of programs, trying to recover data - not a single program helped, everything is restored, except for the necessary files. Such a bummer happened on vacation. And whose glitch is not clear. Then the card worked without failures - checked after each shooting. The only missing shots were taken with the screen turned off, in order to save battery, but because. I set the settings while shooting, then I saw the frames, and when I threw them off - there was an abracadabra instead of files - I foolishly deleted them, not thinking that these were apparently "pictures", but they were not restored by the programs. The video mode is not separate (as I used to on the crop), but is set through the menu and turned on with other buttons. But the quality is very great. No need to carry a video camera with you. It's just that you need to get used to it.
