Review on Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Camera by Dng Chng  (Chng Tail ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

After 40D, it's nice to understand that you are shooting at full frame; like on film. If the 40D did not quite reach the 35mm film frame in terms of picture quality, then the Mark 2 surpasses the film. Fully reveals itself only with fixes, starting from 50 1.8. Zooms simply lack resolution, especially at the edges of the frame. It is advisable to buy a battery pen, because. consumes a lot of energy. All film lenses (EF) on Mark begin to work as they were designed during their development. On the 40D, the 50 1.8 lens constantly missed, on the Mark it stopped missing at all and didn’t even touch the adjustment, at first I couldn’t believe my eyes! I thought for a long time - does it make sense to buy 5D Mark II? After all, I don’t earn money with photography - I have such a hobby. But you won't know until you try! I bought it and after using it for a month I picked up a 40D lying on a shelf: after a full frame, it seemed to me unfinished, although the device is excellent! The Mark II has a wonderful large viewfinder. At first, only the powerful claps of the mirror were embarrassing. In general, the device exceeded all my expectations. If anyone is in doubt to buy or not, then definitely buy. After canon 40D, I considered the quality of pictures from soap dishes to be poor, after canon 5d mark II I stopped holding soap dishes and pseudo-reflex cameras in general! If the maximum image quality is taken as 100%, then soap dishes, pseudo-reflex cameras - 5-10%, Canon 40D gives 50%, film 60-70%, Canon 1Ds Mark III and Canon 5D Mark II - 100%. By the way, I left the canon 40D as a second camera. the camera is very, very good, and there are lenses 17-55 2.8 IS (the best staff for canon crop, verified) and 17-85 IS and two flashes: 580EX II and 430EX. I also compared it with the Nikon D700, but after seeing the pictures I made the choice in favor of Canon. The Canon 5D Mark II is an amazing machine. Buy!

Pros
  • Before that I used 40D. When I bought Mark II, I saw a huge difference in picture quality. SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER NOISE! Working ISO 3200. Presence of alignment. Crop factor 1.0!
Cons
  • This device has NO flaws!
