An entry point for my ongoing write up on the Canon 5d Mark II. More a diary than a formal review… I’ll add to the list below as new sections / entries become available:
- Part 1 – First impressions and Resolution / Cropping
- Part 2 – RAW and exposure latitude in post processing
- Part 3 – Autofocus
- Part 4 – Depth of Field
- Part 5 – Image Quality and the First One Thousand Clicks
- Part 6 – High ISO Performance
Enjoy…

Thanks a lot for this interesting and detailed review – diary – of the 5D2. I concur that being the second best of both worlds makes the camera clearly the winner. I did not quite understand Mike J.'s viewpoint which I assume you're alluding to. Now, much as I understand Marcel Reichman is taking all three FF models on an Antarctica trip – it will be interesting to read what his conclusions will be.
Thanks a lot for this excellent review witch is much more interessant than the classical comparison's review ISO & and other Nikon vs Canon.
I would like to have your opinion about 3 points. Today 1DIII and 5DII are the same price, and i want to change my body (40D).
1) What do you think about AF central precision 1DIII (not Ds) vs 5DII in Oneshot.
Just precision.
2) What do you about RAW post-processing at moderate ISO (<=1600) between 1DIII vs 5DII.
3) And what about image quality at low ISO (<=400) ?
I am asking myself about the more polyvalent body…
Thanks a lot
This is semi random and I didn't read your post but I'm only 15 and just getting into photography myself and looking into Narrative at the moment. And you are an AMAZING photographer!
Just letting you know:)
