The huge "mark" huh huh huh of the 5D2 was the inclusion of 1080p video.
But...that said the sensor they switched in that body did have a big overall improvement in resolution and low light vs. 5D. ok, maybe it's happened a few times over the past 10 yrs. |
Silent Shutter mode, wedding shooters will like that
|
Yea it's quite a difference too in the videos...
My 40D had a very silent shutter, but it only worked in live view :tomato: |

Wasn't the MkII around 3k when it was first released? This is my take as a 7D user who has been patiently waiting for the MKIII- Once you are used to the awesome AF system on the 7D, it would almost be a downgrade using something not as robust. I am 99% positive I'll be picking up a 5D MKIII. The MKIII is like what the 5D MKII should have been and then some. Is it worth the price? Maybe not, but as my first FF, I won't have a problem with putting my pre-order in.
|
It'll be a phenomenal camera.
|
Glad I didn't get that 5D classic last month. haha
|
Hopefully the price of 5D MK2 will come down quite a bit! I want oneeeee

So was the D700..and now the D800 I believe the 5D was also 3k, as was the 5D2 |
5D was $3299
|
:rofl:
My friend just posted on Facebook: "Thank you Canon, you just bought me a D800" |

Wasn't the 5D the first prosumer full frame camera?
I mean the only other body was the 1DS series right? |

More then the current price? There has to be some sort of control that it doesn't drop THAT much more.

|
Hmmmm, doesn't sync @ 1/250th, that's kinda weak
|
Quite a few 5DII bodies are showing up on the local CL boards... going price seems to be $1900 - people are apparently looking to upgrade.

whats interesting is that the 20-60D/7D does, but the rebel is 1/200th.. of course the 1D4 goes up to 1/300th with a EX series speedlight.. :dunno: |
and the 1D classic went up to 1/500th, but thats due to the CCD sensor.
|
D70 does 1/500th also.
And, do some reading on High Speed Sync (HSS).. |
yes I know about HSS...
you should know this. |
I only learned about it in the past couple months, when I tried studio lighting.
|
why would you even need to shoot that fast in a studio?
almost all the times ive shot in a studio ive been at 1/125th @ F8 @ ISO 100 |
if you're using lighting outside in daylight - HSS lets you light up the subjects and have the background look dark.. it's a different effect but I know a number of people who use it.
|
when you said studio lights, i thought you were implying shooting in a studio with like a white BG etc.
:shrug: :doh: |
my bad

almost all the times ive shot in a studio ive been at 1/125th @ F8 @ ISO 100 in this photo, the back wall wasn't THAT dark... but it was shot @1/250 thus making the room look much darker. http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6098/6...c6266f8f_b.jpg If it had been @1/200, then it wouldn't be as dark. It's just a matter of what you're going for. But nice to be able to sync at a higher speed when you need it |

just depends on how much of the ambient light you want to "kill".

But nice to be able to sync at a higher speed when you need it but i was assuming he meant a studio situation like this. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...1D2N4124_1.jpg where i would control how light or dark the BG is by the lights :shrug: :gag: |
|
everytime i see a picture of a canon body like that i think of the terminator :shrug:
