Who would buy a 5D as their 1st DSLR....? o.o..* After much debate, I've narrow my decision to either a 5D or a 7D as my first DSLR.... I would propably say me.. A camera is just a camera.. its the person that's behind the camera that matters..... a camera is just a tool for a creative eye... so, if i wish not to get held back from my creative side, then i should get a camera(tool) that will suite my needs and not one that will limit myself...
@Sync1081 I traded in all my Nikon gear for Canon 5D Mark ll and just am loving the results! Full frame DOES make a difference. Also agree with Sync 1081 its not JUST the camera..(driving a Ferrari doesnt make you into a race car driver) ...its up to your creative eye but wow pushing the envelope with a camera that has that edge over over cameras thats nice. Happy shooting!! :-)
J'ai acheté un Canon Mark II à la FNAC après avoir longuement hésité entre Canon et Nikon. Au bout d'une journée, le miroir s'est désolidarisé sans raison (pas de choc, rien). Je n'ai pris que 10 photos. Je passe à la FNAC et dis j'espérais un geste, au moins des excuses et un matériel neuf... Rien de tout cela. On m'a rendu un matériel réparé. Service déplorable. Pour un matériel de ce prix, c'est inadmissible. Je regrette amèrement mon choix Canon et, côté service, m’interroge sur la FNAC.
Just bought the 5D Mark II. There is nothing like it! Amazing results. I have been deliberating over spending a lot more to buy this over the 7D. Have to say I feel it was worth it - that full frame view is perfect. I'm trying to step up to a more professional level of photography doing performer's headshots, events and ultimately (when I get the nerve) weddings. Make no mistake. This is the camera for everything, bar possibly sports photography. 8fps - great but kinda so what too!
@11290427 I doubt Kai would be impressed by being compared with Jeremy Clarkson!! He'd have to start saying things like "the performance of this camera is ASTONISHING" and "the body weighs about as much as a packet of crisps" HAHA
What's the point of building a newb flash on a pro body? Considering you are spending $2,500 for it, why not throw in another 250 bucks for a good speedlight?
I know the 5d MK2 is now regarded as OLD but get ready to bag a bargain when the Mk3 comes out – expected later 2011. I NEVER buy new new cameras as you ALWAYS get ripped off. My (now) very old Canon 20d is worth around £200 – full retail (when new) was over £1200… go figure!
it's got a high Megapixel, and a full frame sensor, but it has such a slow fps :( But it's still a great camera ^~^ I wish i could afford it..but I'll settle with my 60D for now
@madman778 I just don't appreciate this body only/brain only culture..every camera should have some sort of default lens..some basic functionality...it is misleading
@jeystonemusic Why not? I have pretty decent glass collection and would hate to pay extra for rubbish lenses I will never use anyway. Body Upgrade is the way to go for me. But different strokes for different customers; that's why Canon sells kits and bodies only. Works for everyone except.. for those who want every1 to have the same needs as they have. Does that even make sense? =)
@cubeproduktion Nice choice! Congratulation, I am thinking that my next camera will also be a fullframe body. Make a review on your 1Ds Mk III, I don't see many good reviews of it on youtube yet ; )
@cubeproduktion Actually, I haven't got it, I have to wait for till the middle of august to get it since my 7D was 6000 plus my L lens 5000=11000 so I did spent a lot of money :(
@cubeproduktion The 5D mark II is a perfect companion to the 7D. I just love how these two are like sibilings, both with their unique personality. I use my 5D for wide angle, and portraits, while I use my 7D to capture those unforgiving moments, sports, fast action, and just stuff you have to keep holding your shutter down.

Hey a little about video production. Pair your audio channels I'm getting your voice in one ear and the music in the other. Also, there's an annoying hum, get a proper mic.
By the time i debate between 7D and the 5D II a replacement for the 7D would probably have come out. However for the price I believe the 7D has the qualities I need. Will now see what canon comes up with in the meantime. Love the review
@fizzledazzle well actually both has different advantages. 5D Mark II is more for studio photography, scenery shootings, macro shootings. 7D is more on sports photography, journal or anything that you need to capture in high speed without losing any shots. =)
1k more for full frame. Hmmm, I don't know if it is worth it. I hear that as he cost for full frame goes down in a few years Canon will offer it in ALL of their pro cameras. I'm still debating getting the 7d, there is still so much going for it.
Note to 5D owners or future owners... Keep your flash cards in sealed hard plastic containers! No not leave them loose in your camera bag because even if the smallest piece of dust gets into 1 of the pin holes, it will break of bend a pin in the camera card slot. It is a severe pain in the rear to fix and is not covered by the warrenty. In my case the pin broke at the front and the connecting back part fell into the camera and shorted on the /DC converter. Had to import a fuse from England. grrr
@TheEVILutionist Thanks for the info. I'm a 7D owner, but I'm sure I could run into the same problem if I don't keep my cards in the plastic cases. Thanks
I wonder why they put "Creative Auto" mode on these high end cameras.. If you are spending thousands of dollars on a professional camera you should probably know what you're doing...
Probably because it is the midpoint between the plastic fantastic rebel series and the kidney selling 1D mark III / IV. I do not consider myself a professional, nor well versed in photography, but I do want quality. This is the camera that I probably will buy for next 10 years, and grow from.
However, don't discount the uses in the video market. DSLR's began use in movie's like The Matrix, and now they've assumed a special spot in film production. These cameras can mount in any spot where a large video camera is not an option (car int/ext, steadicam, stunt,etc). And it is much more expendable than a $200k motion picture camera.
It's ok it just makes my job easier. The less creative wannabe photogs get, the more business the real ones get. Think of it as a balance of life...like Avatar.
@PlaceProductions Yeah, we should just give up on creativity and take pictures of products so we can rake in some cash! Now THAT is what photography is about!
Lol. You act like your Ansel Adams or something. Of course, where you see the lack of competition, or the lack of caring in your competition as a good thing, Ansel would have seen as the beginning of the death of photography.
Yeah, no. You're definitely not like him. In soooooo many ways.
wow can nikon fanboys get any stupider? who gives a c*** about FPS when most people who use a full frame sensor use it for portrait or landscape photography. each tool for a different purpose. you dont hear pros complaining that it doesnt have 8FPS or my movie capability sucks! they dont NEED it, they got the 5D for its Full Frame capabilities and accept its drawbacks.
@fullboxxskater A full frame sensor delivers the same angle of view as a frame of 35mm film (as it's the same size). This means that a 50mm lens will equal 50mm on a full frame sensor, where on an APS-C sized sensor a 50mm lens would equal 80mm. Full frame sensors also offer better noise performance, and can achieve a shallower depth of field. Full frame sensors are better suited to people who use wider lenses, and APS-C sensors are better suited to people who prefer longer focal lengths.
@zjumps33 Oh that makes sense...because you're sitting right next to me reading my mind, right? Who cares what brand, people don't use full frame cameras for just portrait or landscape. If anything it's better to use a crop sensor for landscape because of the greater DOF. Regardless, people use it for the low light capabilities, true wide angle and shallow DOF compared to crop. "Clearly" many people care about FPS because "...each tool for a different purpose".
@snowboardbum the "greater DOF" is still an illusion of a cropped sensor. its the same DOF whether its on a FF or a cropped just like a cropped sensor gives the illusion of being a higher mm length. your still cropping an image. same lens. same DOF.
@zjumps33 Actually, FF gives greater DOF because you can be closer to the subject (physical distance), while on crop sensor you would have to be further away in order to have the same framing. You hv to move back (physically) a bit using your crop camera because the crop makes the frame tighter. Thus, you can be closer to the object on FF than on crop, which is why FF gives better DOF, if that makes sense...
Video wise or Photo wise, if video go for the 5dmark2, IF YOUR just using video on occasion, and MOSTLY USING THE DSLR for pictures, then go for the d300s
5D Mark II with either 24-70 or 24-105 looks real solid. I also like the way Canon offers more economical 70-200mm f/4.0 IS as well as the f/2.8 IS version, more options than Nikon, more bang for the money.
I don't really think that any new person to DSLR photography is really going to spend £2000 on a camera. I think also that If you buy one of these you need to definaltly know about basic exposure concepts such as shutter speed, f-stop's and ISO etc. Also this camera is aimed at semi-pro's and high end amertuers.
what is kind of funny in this video, is he spends about 1/4 of the video explaining that people who are not familiar with SLR's can just use the creative auto feature, why would someone who doesn't know that much about SLRs blow £2,500 on the camera (without lens) waste of time putting that on the 5D Mk2. good camera though
it really pissed me off canon added a noob button, couldn't they add a button that was usefull for people who took the time to learn photography and read the freakin manual.
Canon you can add noob buttons to the rebel line all you want. But when it comes to the pro camera's listen to your users.
Nikon or Canon or whatever just shoot or use what you have... The industry has done amazingly well in making people think they "need" new cameras every year while the real differences are actually minuscule in the shots one gets if one is actually more concerned about the image being created and not the photograph being taken. Hopefully you can understand the difference. Go Shoot!!!
Probably to differentiate the camera from the 1Ds Mark III in case it takes away the 1Ds' market. The 1Ds Mark III shoots at 5fps, at 21.1 Megapixels.
can't believe you are just intersted in the video thang. its just a bonus.PLus you'll need an incredible set up to use the most of it.its good for a quickie vid but nothing more .
I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. You cannot get a better video camera than that for that price. It's Full HD (not that big of a deal) - the big deal is that you can use lenses for DOF which you cannot on regular camera besides with DOF adapters.
You don't have to worry anymore they release a firmware update already and all been fixed, for me i already placed an order together with the 85mm f1.2 II lens with it and hopefully it will be here tommorow.
Astro-photography makes live view an extremely necessary addition because it requires very fine and careful focusing which would normally be difficult to achieve the the optical view finder, among other things.
"CA is settings for newbies" Hahahaha... crack me up. The only newbie to get 5D Mark II ...hmmm Paris Hilton. She'd prolly get a new set when she finds out battery is used up. LOL.
god i love this camera..i cant waite to get it...i need to sell my motorcycle first...if anyone wants to buy a 2007 yamaha r6 black and charcoal let me know hahahaha...

@fullboxxskater A full frame sensor delivers the same angle of view as a frame of 35mm film (as it's the same size). This means that a 50mm lens will equal 50mm on a full frame sensor, where on an APS-C sized sensor a 50mm lens would equal 80mm. Full frame sensors also offer better noise performance, and can achieve a shallower depth of field. Full frame sensors are better suited to people who use wider lenses, and APS-C sensors are better suited to people who prefer longer focal lengths.

@zjumps33 It's pretty clear you can't use this camera for sports. It's AF system is shit for anything moving.

@snowboardbum its pretty clear u didnt read my comment.
zjumps33 6 months ago
@zjumps33 Oh that makes sense...because you're sitting right next to me reading my mind, right? Who cares what brand, people don't use full frame cameras for just portrait or landscape. If anything it's better to use a crop sensor for landscape because of the greater DOF. Regardless, people use it for the low light capabilities, true wide angle and shallow DOF compared to crop. "Clearly" many people care about FPS because "...each tool for a different purpose".
snowboardbum 6 months ago
@snowboardbum the "greater DOF" is still an illusion of a cropped sensor. its the same DOF whether its on a FF or a cropped just like a cropped sensor gives the illusion of being a higher mm length. your still cropping an image. same lens. same DOF.
zjumps33 6 months ago
@zjumps33 Actually, FF gives greater DOF because you can be closer to the subject (physical distance), while on crop sensor you would have to be further away in order to have the same framing. You hv to move back (physically) a bit using your crop camera because the crop makes the frame tighter. Thus, you can be closer to the object on FF than on crop, which is why FF gives better DOF, if that makes sense...

Video wise or Photo wise, if video go for the 5dmark2, IF YOUR just using video on occasion, and MOSTLY USING THE DSLR for pictures, then go for the d300s

5D Mark II with either 24-70 or 24-105 looks real solid. I also like the way Canon offers more economical 70-200mm f/4.0 IS as well as the f/2.8 IS version, more options than Nikon, more bang for the money.

I don't really think that any new person to DSLR photography is really going to spend £2000 on a camera. I think also that If you buy one of these you need to definaltly know about basic exposure concepts such as shutter speed, f-stop's and ISO etc. Also this camera is aimed at semi-pro's and high end amertuers.

what is kind of funny in this video, is he spends about 1/4 of the video explaining that people who are not familiar with SLR's can just use the creative auto feature, why would someone who doesn't know that much about SLRs blow £2,500 on the camera (without lens) waste of time putting that on the 5D Mk2. good camera though
wolffarted 2 years ago 6
it really pissed me off canon added a noob button, couldn't they add a button that was usefull for people who took the time to learn photography and read the freakin manual.
Canon you can add noob buttons to the rebel line all you want. But when it comes to the pro camera's listen to your users.

woodlock44 2 years ago
Nikon or Canon or whatever just shoot or use what you have... The industry has done amazingly well in making people think they "need" new cameras every year while the real differences are actually minuscule in the shots one gets if one is actually more concerned about the image being created and not the photograph being taken. Hopefully you can understand the difference. Go Shoot!!!

Probably to differentiate the camera from the 1Ds Mark III in case it takes away the 1Ds' market. The 1Ds Mark III shoots at 5fps, at 21.1 Megapixels.

Seems the 1D Mk III and it's 10fps would be the more popular camera over the 1Ds III 5 fps even though it's not FF.

I'm sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about. You cannot get a better video camera than that for that price. It's Full HD (not that big of a deal) - the big deal is that you can use lenses for DOF which you cannot on regular camera besides with DOF adapters.

so why doesnt a 5dmkii has a built-in flash? a question commonly asked by canon and nikon fellows on the sony a900
yokechye 3 years ago
Because the kind of people who buy a 5DII wouldn't use a built-in flash. If they needed to they'd use an external flash.

You don't have to worry anymore they release a firmware update already and all been fixed, for me i already placed an order together with the 85mm f1.2 II lens with it and hopefully it will be here tommorow.

Astro-photography makes live view an extremely necessary addition because it requires very fine and careful focusing which would normally be difficult to achieve the the optical view finder, among other things.

You can watch other vids made with this camera (or any other HD uploads that were successfully encoded by YT) by appending the URL with &fmt=22
Some have uploaded QT camera originals - YT encodes them in 720p 2Mbps VBR h264 and the quality is like vimeo. Audio is much improved.
Great camera but can't afford one right now let alone find one.
