Review on Canon EOS 5D Mark II Body Camera by Aneta Szewczyk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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, now Canon EOS 5D Mark II provides such an opportunity, and this is already filming because it is possible to use different lenses, set the background blur depth, etc. With the release of new firmware, video shooting capabilities are expanding. 3. LCD screen with 920 tons of pixels, excellent sharp picture, full color, it even seems to me that it embellishes the photo =)). These are probably the most important factors. Of course, there are also less significant, but also pleasant, modernized menu for example =), in which you can even see the% of the battery charge. Pleased and LifeView Some functions are completely unnecessary, such as "better elaboration in highlights", "increased Dynamic Range", "auto brightness correction", etc., this is probably more of a marketing ploy =) pros shoot, as a rule, in raw format, and all these parameters are set in it, this could be done on the first penny with any other raw =). If someone shoots in Jpeg, then yes, these functions will come in handy. Naturally, you need to use L-series lenses in such a device, although I have one sigma 12-24 wide, but canona does not have glasses that give such an angle =) and it costs like L-ka. You can see my works made by the first dime, as well as his successor Canon EOS 5D Mark II on my website.

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.
