 FROM THE MANUFACTURER 
 

 Compact, lightweight with environmental protection, EOS 5D successor boasts a newly designed Canon CMOS sensor, with ISO sensitivity up to 25,600 for shooting in near dark conditions. The new DIGIC 4 processor combines with the improved CMOS sensor to deliver medium format territory image quality at 3.9 frames per second, for up to 310 frames. 

Triggered from Live View Mode, HD video capture allows users to shoot uninterrupted at full 1080 resolution at 30fps -- for amazing quality footage with outstanding levels of detail and realism. 

The integration of HD movie capability into a high-end 21.1-megapixel camera opens a multitude of new possibilities for photojournalists and news photographers. With its full-frame CMOS sensor and outstanding ISO performance, the EOS 5D Mark II will appeal to any photographer in search of the finest camera equipment available -- from studio and wedding to nature and travel photographers. 

Other improvements to the EOS 5D include: 

 *  Addition of Canons EOS Integrated Cleaning System, with a new Fluorine coating on the low-pass filter 
 * Larger 3.0-inch Clear View LCD with VGA resolution, a 170-degree angle of view and anti-reflective coatings 
 * Improved menu system including Quick Control Screen for more direct access to common settings 
 * Automatic peripheral illumination correction, utilizing detailed EF lens information to optimize JPEG images straight out of the camera 
 * Magnesium alloy construction with additional environmental protection 
 * UDMA memory card compatibility EOS 5D Mark II Highlights 
   
   New CMOS sensor
   The EOS 5D Mark IIs newly designed full-frame 21.1-megapixel CMOS sensor features ISO sensitivity from 100-6400, expandable to 50, 12,800 and 25,600. Large 6.4µm2 pixels have been redesigned to capture more light and yield a better signal to noise ratio to ensure lower noise images throughout the ISO range. The full frame sensor has the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film. This means that wide-angle lenses stay wide, without the change in angle of view associated with smaller sensor cameras. As well as benefiting from finer control over depth of field, photographers moving up to the EOS 5D Mark IIs full frame format will find the newly designed wide, bright 98 percent coverage viewfinder on a joy to work with. 
   
   New DIGIC 4 processor
   A new DIGIC 4 processor combined with 14-bit analogue to digital conversion provides smooth gradations in mono-tonal areas such as skies, and highly accurate color rendition. As well as HD movie shooting, DIGIC 4s high speed provides for long uninterrupted continuous bursts of large JPEGs, near-instant start-up times and immediate and fast review after shooting. DIGIC 4 also provides for improved noise reduction algorithms, complementing the already low-noise images from the EOS 5D Mark IIs CMOS sensor. 
   
   HD video capture
   The EOS 5D Mark II is Canons first DSLR to incorporate full HD 1920x1080 video capture. Once filming is started from Live View mode, photographers can fire off either single of continuous stills, with video capture continuing after the final frame is captured. 
   
   See everything
   A new 3.0-inch VGA resolution LCD provides a wide 170 degree angle-of-view, providing plenty of clarity for accurate focus checks in playback. The screen brightness can automatically adjust to suit viewing conditions, extending battery life in low light and improving viewing in bright conditions. A new dedicated Live View button switches modes to display a real-time image on the LCD. This allows EOS 5D Mark II photographers to enjoy simplified shooting from awkward angles. Simple connection to a PC provides easy remote shooting. 
   
   Precision focus and metering
   A 9-point auto focus system is supported by 6 additional invisible Assist AF points, located inside the spot-metering circle to optimise subject tracking performance in AI SERVO AF mode. For accurate exposure readings in tricky lighting conditions, the spot metering circle covers just 3.5 percent of the frame. 
   
   Control
   The EOS 5D Mark IIs redesigned menu system includes a new Quick Control screen, for instant access to the most commonly changed settings. A new Creative Auto mode allows photographers to cede control of key settings to the camera, while retaining control over creative variables such background blur, drive mode and image brightness. Custom user settings allow photographers to switch between two completely different camera setups. This is ideal for changing quickly between two different environments, such as switching from working inside a church without flash to outdoors with fill-flash at a wedding. 
   
   Optional Accessories
   Shooting flexibility is enhanced with a range of new accessories. Shooting capacity can be extended with either the high-capacity 1800mAh lithium-ion Battery Pack LP-E6, or Battery Grip BG-E6. 
   
   A new optional Wireless File Transmitter
   The WFT-E4 offers external HDD and GPS compatibility along with ability to transmit images direct to computer or FTP server, or operate the camera wirelessly. Both the BG-E6 and WFT-E4 feature a vertical orientation shutter release and other key controls for comfortable portraiture work, with a substantial grip to help balance the camera when used with long lenses.

at DPReview.com Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital SLR: Highly Recommended by dpreview.com 

Back in August 2005 Canon 'defined a new DSLR category' (their words) with the EOS 5D. Unlike any previous 'full frame' sensor camera, the 5D was the first with a compact body (i.e. not having an integral vertical grip) and has since then proved to be very popular, perhaps because if you wanted a full frame DSLR to use with your Canon lenses and you didn't want the chunky EOS-1D style body then the EOS 5D has been your only choice. Three years on and two competitors have turned up in the shape of the Nikon D700 and Sony DSLR-A900, and Canon clearly believes it's time for a refresh. 

So here is the 5D Mark II, which punches high in terms of both resolution and features, headlining: 21 megapixels, 1080p video, 3.0-inch VGA LCD, Live view, higher capacity battery. In other words, a camera that aims to leapfrog both its direct rivals, either in terms of resolution (in the case of the D700) or features (in the case of the DSLR-A900). Full detail below.

 REVIEW FROM WIRED.COM

at Wired.com Impressive Canon SLR Sports HD Video, 21-Megapixel Stills 

Once in a great while, a sequel comes out that is so outstanding, it not only blows the original out of the water, it stands on its own as a paragon of excellence. Cases in point: The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan. 

Add the Canon 5D Mark II to that list. For the better part of a year, rumors abounded about an upgrade for Canon's full-frame prosumer camera, the 5D, but nobody expected the awesome bomb that the Canon eventually dropped on us. No mere upgrade, the Canon 5D Mark II is a milestone in many ways, and it's one of the best cameras we've tested yet. It features a massive 21 megapixel sensor, full high-definition video, a giant display and much more, setting a new high-water mark for digital single-lens reflex cameras. 

For starters, Canon nearly doubled the resolution of the 12 megapixel 5D. Like its predecessor, the full-frame sensor in the 5D Mark II is equal in size to a 35 mm film negative, making it much larger than the sensors used in most consumer and prosumer cameras. The size confers two advantages: It gives the camera terrific low-light sensitivity, because the sensors for each pixel are larger, enabling them to collect more photons. And it allows you to use all the lenses in Canon's EF line to their full potential , without any magnification -- an advantage especially useful for wide-angle shots. By contrast, smaller sensors effectively multiply the focal length of standard lenses, for instance converting a 28mm lens into the equivalent of a 56mm lens. 

Canon also stuffed full-HD video recording into the 5D2, making it only the second SLR to record in HD (after Nikon's impressive D90) and the only one to record in full 1080p glory. You can tell Canon didn't think this feature would get much play by how deeply they buried it in the menu system. Fortunately the 5D2 also features a dedicated live-view button which pre-arms the camera for movie recording. 

Photographers and indie filmmakers have been drooling over the 5D2's video quality ever since Vincent Laforet's demo movie hit the net in September. Most video cameras give a distinctly non-film look due to the poor depth of field produced by their small sensors and fixed lenses. Thanks to the full-frame sensor and Canon's high-quality lenses, the video from the 5D2 looks a lot more like movies shot on film. 

The 5D2 is only slightly larger than the 5D and keeps roughly the same lines and look of its predecessor. Notable construction changes include weather-resistance and a tough-looking "parkerized" finish normally found on military firearms. The new 3-inch, 640x480-pixel display looks great even in bright light and is perfect for zooming in close to check out your shots. 

The picture quality is terrific, even at ISO 1600 and 3200, but at 6400, 12800 and 25600 the resulting images are quite noisy. At ISO 100 the full-resolution shots are simply stunning. 

There are a few problems with the 5D2, notably the mysterious appearance of black dots which appear when noise-reduction, light-optimizer and highlight-tone priority are all switched on. Switching these settings off fixes the problem. Since all of these features can be recreated later during processing on your computer, that's not a great loss. 

The video mode is limited to 4GB per shot, which equates to 20-30 minutes of recording time. And unless you're planning on making a silent movie, plan on investing in some external microphones: the built in microphone is low-quality and monophonic, and it can pick up your lenses' autofocus noise, messing up the audio track. Thankfully the 5D2 has a stereo mic input for high-quality audio recording. 

The 5D Mark II is a game-changing 21 megapixel 1080p photographer's dream. Its few flaws are greatly outweighed by amazing new features and huge sensor size. 

But good luck getting one. Prompted in part by early teasers showing the stunning quality of video that the 5D Mark II is capable of producing, shutterbugs and pro photographers alike snapped up the camera as soon as it became available in early December. Unless you pre-ordered one a long time ago, you're out of luck until later in 2009. 

RATING 9 out of 10 

WIRED Kick-ass 21 megapixel, full-frame sensor. Full HD 1080p video. Weather-resistant enclosure. VGA resolution LCD display. Sexy parkerized finish. 

TIRED Good luck getting one if you didn't pre-order. Annoying black spots with certain settings. Noisy at super-high ISO range. 4GB movie size limit.

I Wanted to Love it - Canon 5D Mark II Review

 This adapter removes the last vestiges of reservation I had, had when I first considered purchasing a 5D Mark II. Like with 1D and 1Ds cameras, this adapter allows the 5D Mark II to be powered by AC power, which saves costly batteries during long hours of in studio work while using a tripod and also during the long hours when the camera is connected to a computer for downloads, etc.~~~~~ By the way, the superior picture quality as reported by periodical reviews is true, at least my own use of the camera would in my opinion suggest it to be so. ~~~~~ At this point if it were possible I'd change my star rating of the camera to a four and a half or maybe even a five

~~~~~ By the way, the superior picture quality as reported by periodical reviews is true, at least my own use of the camera would in my opinion suggest it to be so. ~~~~~ At this point if it were possible I'd change my star rating of the camera to a four and a half or maybe even a five. Best Wish's.

"Back-lash" and a bad time for it to happen...

 Things Have moved on quite a bit with the autofocus system in cameras, the system in this is still passable,. it's reasonably good, but you have a much smaller selection of autofocus points, 9 points,. although there are some additional focus assist points, you only have access to 9 and you'll find that the coverage is fairly limited on the frame, particularly on the edges and corners,. You've got basically no coverage

 As Far as the real world focus performance with this camera, it's not too bad, I Tend to use that middle point more,. the biggest problem you'll have is if the point wanders off the subject, you can see in this shot it's focused on the background, But the tracking performance is acceptable for a camera of this age, just going to be a little bit harder to work with with those limited points. Also Found The white balance can be a little bit on the cool side, fairly easy fix in post processing or if you want to tweak the camera settings. Let's talk about image quality and using the camera for a while Now, what I will say is with the ISO range, this is a shot in RAW At 3200,, it's still pretty decent, obviously you have some noise, the native range tops out at 6400 and generally I wouldn't go above that because you do see a pretty big hit in the image quality in low light,, it's still very usable in the moderately high ISO settings

Which leads me on to another point,: the dynamic range is definitely lower than more modern cameras,. if you're shooting RAW, what I do is drop the camera down, maybe a stop,, stop and a half and then push it in post processing,

Canon EOS 5D Mark II: Worth Buying in 2022?

If  i wanted to go from a Canon 7D M1 to a newer canon model, what would  the best option be? Nothing over $1,500. Just for basic carry around and  do whatever type of photography. It doesn't need to excel at anything specific. All for a hobby.

MY  experience level is limited as I've only used the Canon 7D Mk.1 but I  have looked into the settings for it, I know basic camera operation for  it(And ultimately other cameras as they're the same)

Would  the 90D be good to get right now for a DSLR or would it be worth  switching to a mirrorless with a EF and EF-S lense adapter? I would  prefer to stay DSLR though.

Canon 7D Mk.1 Upgrade?

  - Picture quality out of camera saves serious time in photoshop.  - The screen is finally useful in judging exposure. You can clearly see if the skin tones are over and under exposed, hotspots in a poor lighting setup, etc. You'll still see more detail in shadows on the computer, however

 When making outrageous changes in Photoshop, files respond beautifully. RAW files are monstrous, however.  - Picture quality out of camera saves serious time in photoshop.  - The screen is finally useful in judging exposure

 People really exaggerate the differences in focusing systems, but it honestly could use improvement.  -Viewfinder not as good as Nikon's or Canon 7D.  Notes: shoots with 17-40 4L, 24-70 2.8L, 70-200mm 2

Best Full-Frame Camera: Don't drink Nikon Cool-Aid just yet

 The successor is known as Canon 5D Mark II and was made to make everything like never before. The same body in size, with its predecessor a bit less heavy, two more buttons and larger CCD screen with a much better resolution, a bigger sensor and a better battery, this is mostly what brings 5D Mark II comparing with the first 5D model released in 2005. But what put the 5D Mark II in the middle of attention back to date is its feature of recording videos. The first DSLR title for recording videos belongs to Nikon, D90, being the first DSLR which recorded videos at 720p with 24 frames per second

 In terms of videos 4K becomes a standard day by day and being stuck at 1080p at only 30 frames per second obviously we're limited however the results are good. If we consider this camera as it was back in 2008 when it was released it's definitely a top camera and you can't compare it with many others. Today there are plenty more options from Canon and not only and in my opinion the biggest downside is its size and weight. Comparing it with other full frame cameras not with micro four thirds or APS-C cameras

 This joystick became common in lots of other brands and even though I wouldn't really need it, it's a feature nice to have. Most of the needed settings are already in a pre-set button and they are all well put in place. You have 3 custom profiles and all other required modes present on almost any professional camera. I use the pointer wheel for shutter speed and the thumb wheel for f-stops and this way is very easy to set it up for the perfect picture

 It's not just heavier by itself but the lens would most probably be heavier, adding an external monitor makes it bigger and heavier, requires a more solid tripod which obviously would be heavier and so on. Do I recommend this camera? Well if you get it at a reasonable price and you're ready to give up comfort for a great result the results will be great but if comfort is important then this camera doesn't offer this. However with pros and cons this is the Canon 5D Mark II and was made to be remembered.

📷 Canon 5D Mark II - The Best Camera?

Hello,

I am a beginner filmmaker, and I am looking to invest around $4,000 in a camera body with no accessories or lenses included in this price. I am currently looking at the Canon r5 8K and the Sony A7Siii. I ruled out the BMPCC 6k, but if for some reason you disagree let me know. I am looking to mainly film short films with the camera. I would probably use it in many different ways, so the exact purpose is a bit less important. Most of the films will probably be filmed outside. Thanks, Josh.

What Camera to get for under $4000

 Also off by different amounts at different focal lengths along a zoom len's range.)  With the focus issue now out of the way and enough experience to know I have to compensate for the goofy outdoor metering, I find little to complain about. I've run into a few little things here and most of them were simply the result of having not read the manual thoroughly enough. Also, I know some people find low-light autofocus to be either poor or not possible

 I'm not really a fan of zooms in general but they are handy and this one covers a really useful range. It may not seem like a big deal but the constant aperture is really helpful when you shoot manual, especially shooting available light in low-light situations. I'd say the image quality is a little better than middle of the road (again I'm not a numbers guy). Lightroom helps to smooth out some of the problems

 Overall I'm really happy with this camera.  ~  The 24-105mm f4 lens is a nice walk-around lens. I'm not really a fan of zooms in general but they are handy and this one covers a really useful range.

 It's a solid lens but nothing special. If I was to redo the purchase, I would probably get the body and a used 24-70 or just get the 35mm and 85mm primes instead.

Awesome sensor and handling, brought down by focus and meter issues
