Just picked up my 5D MK II
 

Still getting used to the new setup. Shooting at ISO 50 takes some practice.

sweet shit, I plan to upgrade mine next year. This cam is a fucking beast :D

Good lord!!!

Show us results!!!


still teaching myself the ins and outs with a 40D and just happen to see a 50D last night at the camera shop down the road... I drooled a minute and wanted to trade mine in... But damn - thats a nice step you took:thumbsup

Ive been looking at that camera and it really looks like something I could shoot my pics and video with.

Sweet man... way to go... can't wait for my upgrade also. Don't forget to post up some hot samples :pimp :thumbsup

how much for this toy ?

Enjoy Brad:thumbsup

I got my the other week. It's far nicer than I was expecting!

Nice. Have fun. :)

Dam... dats a bigun... :)

Seems like only yesterday when the big photography debate was about
whether digital cameras would ever be good enough to replace film :upsidedow

Congrats on the new camera :thumbsup

I just came reading the title... thanks ;-)

Is ISO 50 the native ISO of the 5DII sensor, no longer the "extension"? (which is really just a firmware hack)

Seriously thinking about trading in my 1DsII and getting a 5DII... I love the 1 series but it's just too big and bulky, not to mention expensive when it's just a hobby :)

Just checked the specs and ISO 50 is still an extension... be careful about using that, with previous models ISO 50 is basically overexposing and pulling the sensor values back down in firmware. Only ISO100 and higher is "passed through"...

Sensitivity

• ISO 100 - 6400
• 0.3 or 1.0 EV increments
• Auto ISO (100-3200)
• Expansion options:
ISO 50 (L1)
ISO 12800 (H1)
ISO 25600 (H2)

Yeah the pic above was ISO 50 so far not impressed with the expansion but otherwise this cam rocks.

can you use the live view with auto focus?

thanks:xmas-smil22

Great camera, it will sure work great. Show some results :thumbsup

I've been on the 1Ds MII for a while now (about 8 months)

Upgrading from the Mi, I didn't feel much / any difference, except that it was faster, less buggy, and finally I had a new[er] generator sensor.

I don't except to get much until I take the jump to the 1ds miii

That's nice!! COngrats!

How much did you buy yours for? Trying to get a feel for what mine is worth. I suspect it's depreciated faster than my car. :1orglaugh
