Canon EOS 5D Mk. II Reviews by Digital Camera-HQ Users

Autofocus does not work properly (John Horgan — 04/03/2010)
I am glad I kept my 5D as the MkII has a really bad autofocus problem. See many other websites. I have make comparisons using the same lenses and the same lighting conditions and find that the MkII has a habit of hunting endlessly and occasionally settling on a soft focus which is only discovered when you look at the shots on a computer. At first I thought this was my fault but now having done tests and read other reviews I see that the problem is Canon's and not mine. The MkII nows stays at home when I am doing any serious work. Don't buy it!!!

The best ever (Chris Brookins — 03/04/2009)

What a camera - excellent weight, low light performance even at high ISOs, and incredible sharpness. Just wish it had better metering like the Nikon D700

next step up (N.Scott Trimble — 03/04/2009)

I like where Canon is going, combining video with still, but it could do better. Ergonomically, shooting video is a pain with this camera. But the quality is great. The image resolution and ISO expansion is incredible. Shooting at ISO 6400 is a good as 800 in the last body. Unfortunately, the autofocus is pretty poor. I think my Mark I was a little better.

Canon 5d mark II Terrific! (Mark Jacobs — 10/26/2008)

This camera is the best camera I have ever used. It has incredibly easy controls and the resolution is incomparible for the price. The 1080p video shooting makes for spectacular videos. Incredible value for the most incredible piece of lastest technology.
