Bought the 5d Mark II earlier this year. I’m a non-professional and first time full frame user. I’ve used a variety of cameras but not Nikon or Canon. I’ve EF lenses and have been using the camera for portraiture and scenic, in city, country, during winter and summer and am thrilled with the results (the enlargements are great). The movie function wasn’t an issue for me as, although I’ve tried it with good results, I could’ve done without it. It’s a little on the heavy side with the distance lenses which took a bit of getting accustomed to. No comment on price as, in my opinion, you often get what you pay for and I’m totally pleased. I work a lot in manual but I’ve not had any problem with the autofocus either. However, I did find it a little complicated at first – my problem not the mark II’s.

also i hear this from third hand, that the canon guys had no idea that this 5d2 was going to take off like this in the film/movies industry. when every dp saw the size of this sensor and what it looks like, they all jump into it. the sensor is bigger than any digital motion picture cameras out there.

no, but if you have a high profile project and have high people at your corner things get done……start looking for webasodes of the new terminator. there should be five and it was shot with 5d2.

So you’re saying Canon is just holding back all the 5D2′s from manual control because they are not rich?

I saw it with my eyes……! The 5d2 with manual control for video. I can’t say where I work but I work in the movies set. the dp is the same guy who got yell at by the actor christian bale. this camera has been tested and its working. the only reason the canon usa guys upgraded this camera was that this dp was using nikor lens to shoot his projects and when they found out they agree to update the four camera that he personally own so he would use canon lens.

most of you guys don’t know is that this camera is been use for off the wall angles shoots ie helmet cam, body mount cam, or hard to fit areas where film cameras can’t get to. Because in real film/movies there is always a need to pull focus and this camera can’t be pull. So focus is set for hyperfocal. also workflow is a major problem for this camera. Mostly this camera has been use for web videos for film studios, not for scenes in real movies. Because it don’t have 24p or really it should be 23.97 fps. canon are listening but only to big guys with big budgets……

That should have said “I did not say there were more digital cameras in America”

Actually anyone with a web browser and google.com can easily find the page from all the info I gave about the quote. I think he did find it and realized it said exactly what I said it says. But if you think you’re little troll comment is going to manipulate me into pasting it here then keep dreaming. I said I would post it if he answered the question I asked repeatedly and he repeatedly avoided answering.

I did say there were more digital cameras in America. I said Americas and Europeans spend money differently. Do you see people driving huge SUV’s in Europe like Americans? I was in Europe 6 months ago visiting friends with kids and did not see any mom’s driving around in SUV’s totting DSLR’s to take pictures at their kids after school and on weekend activities like I do when I go to my kids activities. If you don’t see a difference in how Americans and Europeans spend money you are blind.
