A Canon EOS 5D Mark II foi projetada para atender às necessidades e interesses de entusiastas sérios e fotógrafos profissionais que buscam a imagem perfeita.
- Sensor CMOS de 21.1 Megapixels de Quadro Inteiro
- Desenvolvido pela Canon, o sensor CMOS de quadro inteiro, 35mm e alta resolução incorporado na EOS 5D Mark II define o padrão para sua categoria, com notáveis 21.1 milhões de pixels efetivos para uma resolução máxima gravada de 5616 x 3744 pixels. E já que o sensor de imagem é de quadro inteiro, todas as lentes utilizadas com a câmera oferecem o ângulo de visão projetado pelo fabricante - isso é particularmente importante para fotógrafos que usam com frequência lentes grande angular e outras lentes especiais.
- Processador de Imagem DIGIC 4
-
DIGIC 4 é a mais recente e avançada tecnologia de processamento de imagem da Canon que transforma dados a partir do sensor CMOS grande em altíssima velocidade para fotos de definição e qualidade excepcional. Essa performance acelerada contribui para operação altamente responsiva e amigável incluindo uma velocidade de fotografia contínua rápida. O processador DIGIC 4 também permite várias operações de uso intenso de processador, como modo de Detecção de Rosto ao Vivo, gravação de vídeo HD e otimização de iluminação e de lente periférica.
- Função Live View
- A Função Live View na EOS 5D Mark II oferece aos usuários uma forma conveniente de enquadrar imagens, permitindo que a tela LCD de 3,0 da câmera seja usada como um visor, trazendo um recurso poderoso do mundo de câmeras compactas para a SLR digital profissional. Live View é particularmente útil ao fotografar em ângulos estranhos ou ao fazer fotografia macro. Live View também oferece a capacidade de fechar o zoom e navegar na composição com 5x ou 10x o tamanho normal; ela possui também um recurso de sobreposição de grade para auxiliar na composição de suas imagens. Esse recurso também permite os modos de focagem Live View que incluem o modo Rápido, modo ao Vivo e o modo ao Vivo com Detecção de Rosto.
- Ajustes Picture Style
- Da mesma maneira que se escolhe o filme para uma câmera de filme, os usuários podem escolher um estilo Picture Style que seja adequado para o assunto ou para o objetivo da foto. Os usuários podem selecionar entre 6 ajustes de estilo de imagem pré-definidos (Padrão, Retrato, Paisagem, Neutro, Fiel e Monocromático) e 3 estilos definidos pelo usuário, dependendo de seu assunto em particular, condições de fotografia e intenções fotográficas.
- Grave Vídeo HD
- A EOS 5D Mark II é incomum entre as câmeras SLR digitais já que ela pode gravar vídeo Full HD, sendo a Função Live View da câmera o que torna isso possível. Você pode gravar clipes em Full HD com qualidade de imagem 1080p e taxa de quadro de captura de 30 qps com som. Os usuários podem até acoplar um microfone externo para gravar áudio com qualidade profissional com o vídeo e todos os recursos de Live View AF podem ser usados quando a câmera estiver gravando vídeo. Além disso, os usuários podem reproduzir clipes de vídeo em uma HDTV com qualidade maior com a saída de vídeo HDMI da câmera (requer cabo opcional).
- Array de Sensor AF de 9 Pontos
- O sensor AF de 9 pontos recentemente desenvolvido com 6 pontos de assistência ao AF oferece detecção de foco precisa e veloz além de cobertura ampliada de assunto. Com 6 pontos extras de assistência ao AF adicionados ao círculo de medição spot, a EOS 5D permite focagem altamente detalhada em torno do centro de uma imagem no modo AI Servo AF. Dos 9 pontos primários de AF, o ponto de AF central tipo cruzado de alta precisão é compatível com as lentes f/2.8 e f/5.6, enquanto 8 sensores são sensíveis a f/5.6. Pontos centrais superiores e inferiores, 2 dos 6 pontos de assistência ao AF também são compatíveis com f/2.8 e f/5.6. Todos os pontos de focagem são configurados para foco rápido em qualquer situação fotográfica
- Obturador Durável
- Uma unidade de obturador altamente durável, extremamente rápida foi especialmente projetada para se adequar ao sensor CMOS de 35mm de quadro inteiro da EOS 5D Mark II. O mecanismo de disparo de obturador de alto torque é estimado em 150.000 disparos, atingindo velocidades de 1/8000 de segundo a 30 segundos e Modo B. A função (X-sync) de sincronismo de flash da unidade utiliza um seletor sem contato, com detecção em vez de um mecânico, que contribui para alta durabilidade e confiabilidade quando um Speedlite for utilizado e produz uma velocidade de obturador X-sync de 1/200 de segundo
- Tela LCD de Alta Resolução de 3,0 polegadas
- O monitor LCD TFT colorido de 3 polegadas possui 920.000 (VGA) pixels e permite aos usuários visualizar até os mínimos detalhes de suas fotos seja durante Visualização ao Vivo ou ao rever imagens após fotografá-las. O display é tratado com um revestimento antirreflexo e resistente à água que oferece uma superfície nítida e resistente a manchas e incorpora um sensor de luz para ajuste automático de luminosidade de acordo com a luz ambiente. Os usuários podem ver texto e gráficos nitidamente na tela e ela oferece menus fáceis de ler e tela de informação completa com histograma RGB e exibições de quadro de AF, além da capacidade de ampliar imagens logo após a fotografia.
- Fotografia a 3.9 quadros por segundo (qps)
- Com o avançado mecanismo de processamento de imagem DIGIC 4, a EOS 5D Mark II oferece incrível velocidade de fotografia de 3.9 qps consecutivos durante bursts máximos de 78 fotos JPEG Large/Fine (13 fotos para imagens RAW). Para aquelas oportunidades fotográficas raras, a inicialização rápida e o tempo curto de atraso de obturador também ajudam a capturar o momento sem atraso.
- Compatível com mais de 60 Lentes Canon EF
- A EOS 5D Mark II é compatível com todas as lentes Canon na linha EF (exceto as lentes EF-S), indo de lentes Ultra-Grande Angular 14mm até Super Telefoto 600mm. A linha EF emprega avançado know-how ótico e engenharia com precisão de sub-mícrons para proporcionar performance sem precedente em todas as facetas do processo fotográfico. Óticas aesféricas e elementos de Fluorita, por exemplo, estão na universalmente aclamada série L de lentes enquanto o recurso de Estabilização de Imagem da Canon minimiza o efeito de tremido de câmera.
- Correção de Iluminação Periférica de Lente
- A exclusiva função de Correção de Iluminação Periférica da Lente da Canon corrige queda de luz nos cantos do quadro para imagens com iluminação uniforme. A câmera carrega automaticamente esses dados de correção para muitas das lentes da Canon e a informação de correção pode ser inserida manualmente através do software Canon EOS Utility incluído ao usar lentes que não podem ser corrigidas automaticamente.
- Recursos de Fotografia com Flash
- A EOS 5D mark II possui o sistema de medição de flash E-TTL da Canon, que oferece exposição precisa com flash em todas as fotos. Os Speedlites 580EX e 430EX da Canon são perfeitamente adequados para a EOS 5D. Eles incluem um feixe de assistência ao AF que funciona junto com o sistema de focagem da EOS 5D e envia automaticamente informações sobre temperatura de cor para a câmera quando o flash dispara, para produção de cor mais precisa em fotografia com flash.
- Transmissor de Arquivo Sem Fio WFT-E4A
- O acessório WFT-E4A opcional permite aos fotógrafos transmitir imagens de suas câmeras diretamente para um computador através de uma rede local sem fio (LAN).
- Compatível com Impressoras com PictBridge
- A EOS 5D Mark II ajuda a otimizar todas as fotos com funcionalidade PictBridge expandida. A impressão de lindas fotos ainda é feita com um mínimo de tempo e esforço: conecte-a a uma impressora compatível com PictBridge via porta USB, selecione sua imagem e ajustes de impressão e pressione o botão Direct Print (impressão direta).
- Construção Sólida e Design Sofisticado
- Altamente durável mas elegantemente refinado, o corpo da EOS 5D Mark II pode ser manuseado com facilidade notável. Ele possui um exterior em liga de magnésio rígida (incluindo o Punho de Bateria BG-E6), um chassi interno em aço inoxidável sólido interno e uma caixa de espelho em plástico de alta resistência. O equilíbrio é mantido sem esforço a partir do punho reprojetado até o topo de uma unidade de flash Speedlite. Com um sulco frontal no punho para o dedo médio, para uma sensação metálica aprimorada no Dial de Modo, essa câmera assegura maior estabilidade em todos os pontos.

First the good...
If you're looking for an excellent, full-frame DSLR, the 5D Mk2 is very, very good. It's at least 1 full F-stop more sensitive to light than my Canon 1DS Mk2. A setting of ASA 800 or 1000 yields about the same noise level as my older camera at ASA 400. It's autofocus system is very fast and accurate on single shot mode. (I don't think EF-L series lenses are capable of faster focus action.)
The new LCD screen is gorgeous. 3" diagonal with 900,000+ pixels. It's possibly the best quality LCD screen ever put on a DSLR. The menus are easier to understand and navigate than the 1DS Mk2's menus. "Live View" is an excellent way to do critical focusing. If you've never used a DSLR with live view, you'll love it. The only negative of live-view is that it really drains your battery and it can only be used for a certain length of time before the CMOS imager circuitry heats up, adding noise to the image. (In real-life typical shooting, overheating is not a problem and besides the camera will auto cancel live-view if it senses an over temperature condition.)
The huge 21 mega-pixel RAW images are excellent. The camera uses an updated variant on Canon's .CR2 RAW format so if you use an older version of Adobe's Lightroom or Photoshop for image processing, you'll need the latest Lightroom 2.2 or Photoshop CS4 to get the proper RAW converter. I've personally never liked the included software for RAW image processing, but many people are happy with it.
The auto-exposure system seems very accurate... more accurate than my 1DS Mk2.
I never experienced any "black dot" phenomenon. But I've only shot RAW images at less than 1200 ASA.
I ordered the camera with the optional BG-E6 battery grip. This grip makes the camera taller and easier to hold. It allows simultaneous use of 2 Canon lithium batteries or 6- AA alkaline or rechargeables. It's a very valuable accessory to consider.
Now the bad...
I primarily purchased the camera for its ability to shoot great looking 1080P HD video for commercial TV projects. I thought it would be a great source for "B-Roll" cutaways and inserts.
The biggest single problem in the video mode is that you have no control over iris, ISO setting, or shutter speed. There's an exposure lock button that will lock the exposure variables to whatever the LCD displays at the time you press the button. There are no on-screen indicators that show the settings that the camera has chosen for you. The only control you have is the color temperature setting. Basically, you pan the camera around in the scene and let the brightness float up and down. When you see what you think is a good exposure on the rear LCD screen, you press the lock button. Since the exposure lock resets after each scene or take, chances are you won't have consistent exposures over multiple takes of a particular scene.
Working with the auto exposure system can sometimes be difficult. I was shooting with my 85mm F1.2 lens. By looking at the iris, it appeared the camera had decided to only open the lens to about an F2.8 and use a much higher ISO setting than necessary to achieve proper exposure. By pointing the camera to some very dark shadows, the iris fully opened. I then panned back to my original scene which appeared to be much cleaner and free of noise. You really need to be able to manually set the ISO & F-stop when shooting video.
I adjusted the camera's custom settings to lower the detail enhancement and contrast. These controls effect the quality of jpeg stills but seem to have no effect on a video recording.
The camera only records at 30.00fps, not 29.97fps. This tiny .03fps difference means that you have to alter each file's header, using a program such as Apple Cinema Tools, before you can edit 5D footage into a normal, broadcast 1080P/1080i, 29.97fps timeline. Failure to do this header alteration requires setting up a 30.00fps timeline or rendering every 5D scene on your 29.97fps timeline which yields periodic skipped frames.
There is no 24P (23.98) setting. As far as I'm concerned, there is no logical reason that Canon chose 30.00fps instead of 29.97fps. No broadcast TV or film standard operates at 30.00fps. Maybe Canon will correct this with a future firmware update. Please note that if you're only shooting high quality videos for web release, the 30.00fps speed won't present a problem.
To simulate the film-like cadence of a movie camera's 180 degree shutter at 30.00fps, the 5D Mk2's shutter should be set to 1/60 of a second exposure time. There is no way to tell what shutter setting the camera is using during a scene. My gut feeling from looking at camera video is that the 5D Mk2 often uses 1/30 of a second.
The camera's LCD screen is blanked whenever an HDMI monitor is plugged in. If you're doing a commercial shoot with clients, this means that either the cameraman or the clients can see what's being shot, but not both at the same time... You could add an external HDMI active splitter, but this would also require adding and using an external monitor at the camera. If you only plan to shoot by yourself, this shouldn't present a problem.
To do manual follow-focusing using the rear LCD screen, consider purchasing Hoodman's 3" LCD viewer. It's available from B&H and other retailers and it works very well. Of course, you'll have to figure a custom way to attach it to the back of the 5D Mk2 using rubber bands or Velcro.
The 5D Mk2 records what I would call "memo quality" audio with it's internal, mono microphone. You really notice the AGC raising and lowering the recording volume. If someone claps their hands, coughs, or makes a loud sound, the audio level and background sound dives down, then very noticeably fades back up. There is no headphone output or on-screen audio display so there's no way to confirm the level of your audio. If you plug an external mic into the camera, there is no indication to confirm even the presence of an audio signal. The only thing you can do is record a scene, then playback and carefully listen to the recorded file. If you plan to use this camera on a professional sync-sound project, you'd really have to consider double system sound recording. Recoding the audio on a separate recorder adds a major level of increased hassle but it's the only way to insure excellent audio. The audio from the camera's recording can be used as a post-production sync reference.
Another audio question is why Canon chose to record audio at a sample rate of 44.1kz instead of the industry standard 48kz. Apple's Final Cut Pro can handle almost any sample rate but other NLE's can't. Once again, if you're only shooting video for web release, the CD sample rate of 44.1kz shouldn't present a problem.
In certain low light or low contrast scenes, the H.264 encoding block artifacts are noticeable. In my opinion, the 5D Mk2 artifacts are more noticeable than the H.264 encoding used in Canon's own HF10, 1080 video camera even though the 5D's recorded bit rate is higher.
The camera's signal-to-noise ratio is very good and very clean. It's a more noise-free video picture than my $80,000 Sony F900R HDCam... except for the color red. Red objects are noisy. Most colors in a scene seem noise free, except red. This is especially true with low brightness red objects such as those in shadow areas.
The 5D Mk2 exhibits no "rolling shutter" characteristics that are associated with Nikon's D90.
The 5D Mk2 has the characteristic of clipping to "flat-line" black very low-light or shadow details in an image. This yields a "gutsy" rich, excellent, "film-like" quality for many scenes, but you can't do any post-production recovery of lost low-light details. The camera does a pretty good job of rolling scene highlights off to a hard clip at 100 units of video.
Possibly, some of the video problems I've detailed here are related to the specific 5D Mk2 that I purchased (serial#0320105XXX) but I don't think this is the case. Hopefully, Canon will issue a firmware update to address the camera's video problems. New firmware could possibly add manual control to the video capture functions and slightly lower the frame rate to the standard 29.97fps.
All cameras at any price level have positives and negatives. I've never found or used the "perfect" camera. The Canon 5d Mk2 is an excellent still camera and in my opinion, "a not quite ready for prime time" HDTV video camera. Possibly the camera was rushed to market to compete (or cancel out) the much hyped video features of Nikon's "rolling shutter" D90. It is an excellent glimpse into the future of "hybrid" still & video DSLR cameras.

Right up front you should be aware that if you shoot a lot of photos in low light conditions like in dark wedding ceremony or reception venues, you're going to have "hot pixels" and some to many random blank pixels show up in the blacks as white squares. I shot such a wedding this past Sunday 3/8/09 at ISO 1600 and am now taking a break from "fixing" over 1200 images. My 5D Mk2 body is currently at the Jamesburg reair facility along with the "masses" (Canon technician's term)of its brothers being repaired. Based on research I've done on the web this really is a common problem, and I believe that as summer approaches in North America it will get worse for us. This is because many of the photographers that reported these problems already are in warm climates, Australia for example. Secondly, the problem in my camera became progressively worse as the night went on, and the camera warmed up, but then dimimished the next day after the cool down period. By the way, I shot with Live View off, and 2 second (short) review set.
On the plus, ISO 1600 in the Mk2 is as noise free as ISO 800 in my two 5D bodies, so Canon delivered on this promise. This is the reason I wanted the camera in the first place. All of the other virtues of the 5D are there, and the images are smoother, and it seems to handle highlights much better even with highlight tone turned off. But with this pixel problem that's kind of like saying, well, yes Mrs. Lincoln, but it was a good play.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I have been working on my photography skills for over 7 years now. Progressed from film SLR to digital SLR and now to full frame DSLRs. I have used the 5d mark I, 1DS mark II and now have tried out the 5D mark II. I am very impressed with the still pictures capability. I don't shoot much video, but am pleased with what little I have shot. Given the fuctionalities I rate this as a pro camera - even though there are the ID and IDS series, I find this size of camera to be actually useful and handy in the field - especially if I am going on a 4 day backpack and weight vs performance matters, I'd choose the 5D mark II anytime.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
This was my first entry into a full framed sensor and I am most delighted with the 5DII. I am upgrading from a Canon 20D which will now become my backup body. The picture is beyond expectations. I am a Video and PhotoJournalist and this unit fits that need very well.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
This is for professional DSLR. Especially low light condition and big print for landscape.
When you need normal life pictures like sports/Action, travel and family photos, Get other camera like a 7D.
Happy shooting.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
With the current price rebates, it's worth every penny. At 2200-2300 dollars... I would hesitate to purchsae this camera.
The autofocus system, as many have complained about, is not exemplary. It functions just fine, but has trouble in some situations. In the end, I often have to work around the AF system rather than being assisted by it.
The image quality is fantastic. Very little noise in the shadows in the low ISOs, and acceptable levels of noise upto around 1600 ISO (and I absolutely abhor noise in my images).
The construction of the camera is fine. With the Canon battery grip, the camera has a very solid, professional look and feel. The dust cleaning system is acceptable but not perfect. I suspect they will improve this next generation.
The LCD screen is great. Ergonomics are acceptable (coming from a Nikon, the ergonomics on that were significantly better). The backbutton focus function is a revelation.
Overall I recommend the camera, but only at a 2000 dollar price point, given the inevitable impending 5D3.

Have only had the camera for one week so far but find it hard to put down. So far all my tests have met all expectations. Great quality images and easy to get creative with this camera.
I highly recommend this camera for anyone interested in using this for video or photo. either way you cannot go wrong.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I love the camera, and I love Canon. The 5D is a big deal for me as it is a huge upgrade from my previous 2003 version of the popular Digital Rebel series, mainly due to the full-frame sensor which allows for a dramatic improvement in resolution and the ability to print much larger without loss. As a fine art photographer (see my work at davehebb.com), that is crucial to me. However, because of the larger sensor size, most EF lenses won't work, so I had to buy new lenses too. The old lenses for my Rebel will "work", but with incredible vignetting so as to make them virtually useless. The camera's interface works pretty well, although the menus have unnecessarily long titles, and they are not as intuitive as you might think - also, 2 dials and a 4-way joystick controller seem redundant. There are some good features like the mirror lock-up which along with the 2 second timer delay further eliminates any movement from long exposures. The biggest technical problem seems to be with the autofocus for the video camera - it is loud and really doesn't work as you change positions. I suggest using only manual focus when recording video. Overall quality is good, but forget using the canon software - after 9 years I would think they finally figured it out, but nope! The software will not work on the newest Mac Lion OS, and customer support said it will take at least 3 months for a compatible version! I was finally able to get it download my images on to my Mac, but it gives me lots of errors and now I can't download images from my old Rebel! Too many image editing features - Canon should quite trying to compete with Adobe and just make a streamlined interface that actually works!

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
... and I can tell you, they're worth every penny. They are great for low light situations, weddings, etc (up to about 3200 ISO). The image is sharp and the colors are nice, when you get them right. The autofocus doesn't have as many AF-points as a 1D body but that's to be expected. It also miscues sometimes. The 5D will produce some odd colors when using auto white balance and it tends to make things too warm but it certainly does the job in a pinch. I try to use Kelvin, whenever possible, that reduces my production time by a lot.
I'm also a fan of the custom functions and the 5D plays nice with a lot of accessories. This is the body to own for any weddinga or portrait pro from start up through about your first 5 years in business.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I have been waiting for a long time to purchase this camera. The 5D Mark II is everything and more that everyone else says it is. I am a semi-professional photographer and use the camera for portraits, landscapes, weddings, close-ups and more. The controls are well placed and allow the user everything from full automatic to full manual control. If I have any complaints about the camera, it is the autofocus in Live View when shooting videos. Canon needs to improve this function.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I am an advanced amateur and focus mainly on nature and landscape. This is my 8th Cannon camera. I have never been disappointed. I bought the Mark II mainly for the increased resolution over my 5D and the video feature. I have been impressed by the increased ease of setting functions and the live view is helpful. I did not know that in video mode, there is no autofocus, and that makes the video a bit less useful.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
The 5D Mark II is a great camera without a doubt. I ordered one from B&H and it got here without any problem and on time, except there was a problem with the camera and it would not focus. I called B&H and they sent me another one that day and issued me an RMA number to return the bad one. It is how a company handles a problem that shows their character and I do business with B&H because of their character. A great company. Thank You!
