Canon EOS 5D Mark II Review: An Exceptional Camera

Look, I’m trying not to biased about this readers, but this is how these reviews are rolling in, I swear! All I can say, is that yes, I agree the Canon 5D2 is an amazing camera, especially given the recommended market. If you do landscape, studio, still life, general use photography, you’ll love the 5D2. Explaining why today is Digital Camera Info who have removed their annoying pop-ups, and have reviewed the 5D2:

Our lab testing revealed exceptional image sharpness and color accuracy, with acceptable automatic white balance results and outstanding custom white balance accuracy. Dynamic range was another strong suit for the 5D Mark II, where it outperformed our other test cameras by a significant margin. Image noise performance was first rate both in well-lit and dim shooting situations, though color accuracy fell off when shooting in low light. While Live View shooting is provided, and looks good on-screen, we still find the slow autofocus performance limits the usefulness of this feature in most situations.

   Amr, hey are you thinking about getting the 5D2? And what do you shoot with now?
   As for lenses, my understanding is the 5D2 is compatible with the complete range of EF (not EF-S) lenses….for an idea of what’s available:
   http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ProductCatIndexAct&fcategoryid=140
   for some good feedback on individual lenses, I like:
   http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Lenses/
   towards the bottom you’ll see their lens reviews, and there’s quite a few EF lens reviews.
   hope that helps?
