  • Mit dem 2.0.3 / 2.0.4 Firmware Update stellt die Canon 5D MKII die derzeit qualitativ beste Fullframe Video-DSLR am Markt dar. Keine andere Spiegelreflexkamera verfügt bei dieser Sensorgröße über eine höherwertigere Videofunktion. Zwar bietet die Canon...

  • Die Canon EOS 5D MKII kann es bereits mit der recht lichtschwachen Kit-Optik mit den lichtstärksten Camcordern der Unter-10.000-Euro-Klasse aufnehmen – nicht zuletzt Dank relativ rauscharmen High-ISO-Einstellungen. Mit lichtstarken Festbrennweiten hält...

  • Die Canon EOS 5D MKII bietet herausragende Bildqualität in Sachen Video-Auflösung und Lowlight-Performance, die sich locker mit sehr viel teureren Prosumer-HD-Cams messen kann (relativ starkes Moirée inbegriffen). Keine andere HD-CAM bietet zu diesem P...

  • hervorragende Leistung, brillante Fotoqualität, gute Videofunktion und -qualität
  • keine drahtlose Blitzsteuerung, großes Spotmessfeld, kein integrierter Blitz, wenig direkte Bedienungselemente, mittelmäßiger Autofokus
  • Das lang ersehnte Upgrade der Canon EOS 5D schafft eine hervorragende Bildqualität. Endlich zeichnet die DSLR auch Videos mit 1920 mal 1080 Pixeln auf. Lediglich beim Autofokus und der Bedienung wünschen wir uns noch ein paar Verbesserungen....

  • Auch in der zweiten Generation lässt Canons EOS 5D ordentlich die Muskeln spielen. Die EOS 5D Mark II ist ganz schön mark(zwei-)ig und beeindruckt – absolut Canon-typisch – mit einem konkurrenzlosen Verhältnis zwischen Pixelzahl, Sensorgröße und Preis...
