Canon 2764B007 EOS 5D Mark II 21.1MP Digital SLR Camera Body Only - Black

Photography as it should be, at an affordable price.

Back in the old days, you could put a roll of 35 mm film into a £50 or a £500 pound camera. A 500th of a second at f8 would pretty much give the same printed out result from both cameras. Now a days, you have to pay a lot of money to buy a sensor equivalent to the 35mm size. To buy a budget full frame camera you are buying something that has lots of features taken away from what you as an experienced photographer may consider important. I bought a little used canon eos 5d mk ii second hand. This has reinvigorated my enthusiasm and joy of photography. Brings back the memories of the old days back. 24mm lens is a 24mm lens, no multiplication of the focal length due to the cropped sensor! I've even got my old filters out.
The canon 5d mk ii was a great camera when it came out, not plastic, weather sealed with a pro spec. It still holds it own today. I would recommend to anyone, if you are put off due to the price of the new full frame cameras, buy a good second hand one. The canon mk ii.... Bring back the fun! ;-) Read full review

Pros and cons

it is without a doubt one of the bast cameras on the market. this is the second one as before you got to be careful what your buying, It is also good to ask about the sensor and main board.
The 5D MK II has had its floor. But for image quality, if you get a good one like this is outstanding sharpness throughout, with zooming in fully, If the image is taken right, It will hold detail.

The only drawback, It is clunky and noisy. Even when the mirror ock is up. The live view could have been in the same place as the 7D where your right-hand thumb rests. Read full review

A high quality full frame workhorse.

Image quality is superb. Video quality is also very good. There is a huge range of functions available but it is also relatively easy to use. Down side is that it is quite heavy and not really a camera for the casual snapper. Build quality is excellent.Read full review

Canon eos 5Dii. Great camera at a very reasonable price.

Extremely pleased with this full frame camera. Semi pro camera at an amateur price. A joy to handle once the learning is done. Great quality images. Nothing not to like. Canon quality throughout.

What a great camera

This was a ground breaking camera in its day, and even though its day was 12 years ago, it is still amazing value at the price I paid. Takes EF lenses, for which there is a huge second hand market which keeps the prices down.Read full review

Exellent camera with many good features

Although this is not the latest model of this camera it has excellent features and is certainly good value for money. I have seen this model for sale in man places for over £1000 so if you can pick up a model for less then it is an absolute bargain.

The only downside is we bought this camera with a 23-105mm lens which together with the camera is quite a weight, I suspect a newer model would be less weight for the camera body but not sure about the lens, unless the lens components are now made of lighter material then this will still be very heavy.Read full review
