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 waited far too long to switch from the Rebel series to the pro-level cameras. I've had major issues with the autofocus with my Rebel cameras (T2i/550D).
I now shoot with the Canon 7D and the 5D and I just love them both. The autofocus is fantastic with my Canon 70 - 200mm F/4 IS and my Canon 300mm F/4 IS. The Canon 7D's autofocus is faster than the 5D but both are accurate. I spend a great deal of time photographing wildlife and both cameras can accurately focus even when there are trees and brush in the way.
The 5D has little noise all the way up to an ISO of 3200. Although, I generally try not to go beyond an ISO of 2000. Deer become so much more active as the light dims so this is a huge plus for me!
I would really like to see Popular Photography and other photo publications do a better job addressing the autofocus issues that so many photographers experience with Pro-level as well as amateur cameras.
If I had known how good the 7D and 5D were I would have gone in debt just to purchase them. I'm really sorry that it took me soon long to switch.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
This is, for me, a recent upgrade from a 7D. The video is impressive every time I use it. The full frame is useful, but much more so from a photo standpoint. Though I like the video interface of the 7D a bit better, I'm sure it will just take some getting used to. I should note that I am using this camera primarily for video and photo-timelapse and so far, I am stoked. Wide angle lens + full frame = insanity!

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I bought this camera as an upgrade from my 40D and have found it to be very good. I love the higher ISO capabilities with less noise, which was frequently a problem with my other camera in low-light situations. I will say that the shutter is slightly louder than the 40D, which is unfortunate, but something I'm willing to live with for the great capability within the camera itself. I like that you can adjust specific lenses to help with accurate focus as well.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I am a freelance photographer and just recently upgraded from my 7D to this bad boy. I will say there are certain aspects in which the 5D lacks, such as the focusing system and coninuous shutter speed that the 7D certainly triumphs. The 5D though does make it a point to rise above though in almost every other aspect. The full frame sensor is something to desire and helped bring out the full potential of my 35mm L. The ISO handling is also quite impressive showing little noise even up to 1000 or even 1250 especially compared to similar pictures and light set ups with my 7D. The video controls are a bit more customizable as far as volume control as well which the 7D lacked and the quality of colors and even the bokeh brings a whole new quality to my photos. If you do alot of portraiture or low light images this camera is definitely a must have. If your a sports or live music photographer Id say invest in a 7D.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
This is the least expensive full frame CMOS body with near professional features. So far, and I have only been using it for about a month, I have nothing to complain about. Images are crystal clear even in low light with long exposures. Color is great. There are some reviews on the web describing chromatic aberration with wide angle lenses and possible tiny color inaccuracies in bright daylight. However, I did not yet encounter these problems.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I shoot professionally close to every day so I need a camera that reliable and has great coverage. This is my second time buying the same body and I am still pleased as ever. B&H really took care of me too! I got it quicker than I had imagined. I remember the time I got my first camera body, it was a hassle to order. That's beause it wasn't through B&H!

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
Pictures are extremely clean up to ISO1600 and still usable at higher speeds. AF is a non issue when using center focus point only. Image Quality of this caliber is a no brainer at this price point.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I'm a photography enthusiast, and the 5d mark ii was an upgrade from my entry-level dslr. I love its ability to handle a higher iso with less noise than my earlier dslr, and the live view with the back button manual focus is great for certain shots, too. My favorite feature, though, is the full frame!

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I´m a very active enthusiast. So I´ve migred from a 7D Canon to 5DmkII because of the full frame improvement and I realized that is much more than that, the 5D is a very professional equipament and my images are now way ahead that before. The low grain with high ISO values is my favorite note of this beautiful camera.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I am still getting to know the camera... but so far! I LOVE it!
I am a young professional photographer, who shoots everything from corporate jobs to weddings.
This camera really allows you to capture what you are seeing, or what you want to see. It works beautifully in low light. (ISO of 1600 and up don't fall apart like in other cameras) The quality and size of the images it produces is much higher, mostly because it is a full frame camera. Bigger sensor!
If you like to shoot using natural light, i recommend this for you. It is easy to use if you know your stuff, not for just anyone, this camera is made for professionals.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
I just received my 5D Mark II and right out of the box I was happy with what I saw. The improvements in body design and layout of the menu were fantastic. Upgrading from the first generation 5D was well worth the money.
I haven't run the camera through all the paces yet but from what I have already seen - color spectrum/new ISO options/ etc. - I have no doubt it will be able to handle all that I can throw at it. I'm also really excited to test out the video options but for now I'm just sticking to stills and seeing just how far I can take the new model.

Comments about Canon EOS 5D Mark II Digital Camera (Body Only):
A little over a year ago I decided I wanted a nice camera to use for shooting paintings (I'm a painter). I bought the 7d. I began to enjoy just using the camera and making photos on their own terms but the noise on the 7d is terrible beyond iso 800 and not great below it. I returned the 7d and bought this camera. Holy Cow...the images were amazing..I could pull 100% crops and use them as finals...I could toggle to 400% in PS and still clearly see an image....I could shoot low light at f4 iso 2000 in CR and they'd come out looking tack sharp in post..On a whim I started to look for a little side work doing photography. Now, just over a year later I own 2 of these and a small pile of L lenses and I'm busy...be careful...this camera can change your life! semi-kidding aside it is a remarkable piece of equipment and yields remarkable images. I've considered bumping up to the 1ds mk iii but in the end I simply can't imagine the image quality could be any better. (I do miss great AF on the 7d...come on 5D mkIII???).
Anyway...I Highly recommend this camera..The only downside, and it is a downside if speed is important to you...is the AF..Beyond that - WOW!!
