5 out of 5 stars   Excellent Full Frame Camera
By MGM on November 01, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: Good Image Quality, High ISO Performance, Good Image Stabilization
Cons:
Other Comments: So far so good. Expectations from a full DSLR camera has been met. Don't want to go into details since I believe there are tons of reviews on this camera already. An excellent body paired even with just EF 1.8 50mm fixed is already more than enough.

5 out of 5 stars   Amazingly capable camera.
By Ricardo on August 24, 2012
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: Good Image Quality, High ISO Performance, High Value, Large Clear LCD, Quality Construction
Cons: Heavy
Other Comments: I am a professional photographer and I creat portraits and do fashion work. The main reason why I chose this camera is because of all the fabulous work I've seen others do with the same camera. For the price, you will spend 3x more to get a noticeable improvement in picture quality and features.

5 out of 5 stars   Save up for this one!
By Kelley on December 18, 2011

Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: Quiet, Large Clear LCD, Easy To Use, Fast Shutter Speed, Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus, Good Image Quality, Low noise
Cons: Price
Other Comments: My first DSLR was the XSi, which was amazing compared to my Canon point and shoot. I was tired of the crop sensor on the XSi and was torn between getting this camera or a wide angle L series lens for the XSi. I feel I made the right decision. The 5D produces a whole other level of clean, clear, jaw-droppping images. It was hard to justify the price initially because I am not a pro-photographer, but now that I have the camera I would never want to give it up! If you are considering it, I would recommend saving up for it because the image and sheer pleasure of using it is 100% worth it!

5 out of 5 stars   Get this camera to get to the next level
By DIR Dan on January 25, 2011
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: High ISO Performance, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Stabilization, Good Image Quality, Easy To Use, Shoots awesome video, Quiet, Fast Shutter Speed, Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus
Cons:
Other Comments: I bought this primarily for underwater videography, to show why Palm Beach Fl has the best diving in this hemisphere. For the deeper and darker reefs --such as Juno near Jupiter, still photos can't capture the enormous structure well--there is no way to cover the enormity with anything other than ambient light--this camera can do this in video mode with amazing clarity!

By Magic Jester on July 02, 2010

Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus, High ISO Performance, Large Clear LCD, Good Image Quality
Cons:
Other Comments: I shoot mostly Nudes, and I wanted a camera that produces CRYSTAL CLEAR images, and so far I'm finding that this camera is OUTSTANDING. It is also amazing in low light situations going to a higher ISO with very little noise. So far so good for me. And the movies are really crisp. Love it.

3 out of 5 stars   Canon D5 Mark ll
By DJSFO on June 29, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: High ISO Performance, Quiet, Large Clear LCD
Cons: Poor Image Stabilization, Poor Image Quality
Other Comments: I have been using Canon professional film cameras and lenses for years! So I though I'd get a Digital set up. I found the camera base to be big and heavy, the quality of photos was less than expected for 21.1meg pix and too dark, almost like there was a filter on the lense or something. My 5meg pix digital camera is brighter with clearer photos. Takes a bit of getting used to were all the controls are, The video was good quality but the stabilization of video was poor. you will need a tripod all the time. It was a bit pricy for me for what you get.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Camera
By Neuro2k on June 29, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: Fast Shutter Speed, Quiet, Large Clear LCD, Easy To Use, High ISO Performance, Good Image Quality
Cons: Expensive, No built in flash
Other Comments: This is an upgrade from my Canon EOS 20D, and what an upgrade it is. I use it as a recreational photographer. The digital menus are easy to use and the ISO options make low light photography a pleasure. I do miss the built in flash of the 20D, which did a nice job as a fill flash. However, the fact I no longer have to bring a video camera on every trip more than makes up for the lack of flash. I strongly recommend the 5D Mark II to any photo buff!

5 out of 5 stars   Perfection and affordability -sort of...
By Firestarter on June 05, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: Easy To Use, Good Image Quality, Fast Shutter Speed, Large Clear LCD, High ISO Performance, Cheap for pros, Quiet
Cons: Expensive for amateurs, Poor for fast action
Other Comments: I am a still photographer only. I use the EOS 5d MkII for a wide range of genres, including portraits, landscapes, travel and artistic photography, for which this camera is of top quality and performance. There are many ways to customize the camera so that changing settings takes the minimum effort and time during shooting sessions. Many people rave for EOS 5D MkII as a video-camera, but I find it cumbersome and nearly impossible to use in this capacity without adding a specialized rig. This is completely understandable, since ergonomics of a still camera do not lend themselves too well to shooting videos. Quality of the video is quite another matter though. It surpasses that of the more expensive dedicated video-cameras. That is thanks to the combination of many factors, which include the big sensor and the use of "L" class lenses.

4 out of 5 stars   Problems
By Lesstrobe on June 01, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Canon EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Full Frame CMOS Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (CNEOS5DM2)
Pros: Quiet, Good Image Quality, Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus, High ISO Performance, Large Clear LCD
Cons:
Other Comments: Excellent pictures - prob I had appears unique and scared me off taking a replacement due to the relatively high cost. Shutter very spongy feel and failed to actuate (during college graduation ceremony). Turned off/on the camera to get it to shoot again - spoke to Canon who recognized this as a unique prob and suggested it be sent to the factory service center. May try the 7d.
