From now on, I’ll be the eyes of Collage of Life’s Flaneganb.net.

Dozo Yoroshiku Onegai-shimasu.
Please treat me well.

Kuro Toro a.k.a Black Totoro.

What Can I say about 5D Mark 2. I can say this camera is one of those camera will change the world of Digital Photography and also maybe world of DSLR. I call it the Ultimate Dynamite Camera (random one). I can’t compare my 350D with 5D Mark2 because 350D will still be my baby. All my requirement goes to 5DMII.

Although is not a complete set for me cos i need to get myself an extra battery, a battery grip and also cable release for KuroToro.

21megapixels DSLR equivalent to :
- 5616 x 3744 resolution
- 18.72 x 12.48inch
- 47.55 x 31.70cm

Size of A2 paper, If you know how to upscale smoothly to A1 pun boleh with borders.

ISO wise. 100 times better than my 350D, I don’t need to think about noise anymore cos i can pump up the iso too 3200. ISO6400 is still acceptable equivalent to 350D’s ISO800.
The Highest ISO for 5DMII is ISO25600 or known as H2 in the camera. Itu memang rusak lar, the noise almost looks like 350D’s ISO1600.

About the sensor….. 5DMII is full frame. The 350D pula Frame Separuh only.

You can see the differents here. (kamu tau suda bah kan but still i want to show.

This is Canon EOS 350D Half Frame Sensor on 17-40mm F4 Lens.

and

This is Canon EOS 5D Mark II Full Frame Sensor on 17-40mm F4 Lens.

What a Huge Different.

Dial Function have 5 extra dial beside the M, Av, Tv, Auto & P.
3 Customize Function (C1, C2 and C3), 1 Creative Auto (or known as CA) and Bulb Function.

The Customize Function really makes my finger easier because you can save the setting for future use, for example :
C1 : I want ISO800 for shooting indoor with less light, Activate Lighting Optimizer.
C2 : ISO100 and Bracketing for shooting HDR.
C3 : ISO200, set the Shutter speed and aperture to 1/60 at F5.6 and also set my flash guns to ETTL +1 brightness.

You get what i mean? So when i want to shoot HDR scene i just dial it to C2. Everything kao-tim in less than 1 secs.

Awesome thing about this DSLR is you can record a HD Video or just a normal video size with all kind of EF lenses.

10secs Test video on HD Mode.

The size of 10 secs HD is around 45mb. So if you have 1gb, 2gb and 4gb CF card. It will only last like 6mins in 2gb CF card.
That’s mean i have to get bigger than that lar. Ngai tiao betul.

The Dynamic Range in 5DMII is quite wide than my 350D, that’s mean i have to change my editting habit a lil bit because of the Dynamic Range. But no worries, everything is gonna be alrite.

And last one, before i stop talking crap again.

5DMII will help you to reduce the vignette of your image in the camera because they have the function called ‘Peripheral Illumination Correction’.
Just switch it on, you’ll see less vignette on the edge of your camera.
Well for me, I’ll switch it off because i love baby vignette.

Alrighty, that’s all about my crappy review for the first time.

Before i want to press the Publish button.
Let me upload a few pics i’ve taken with my 5DMII.

Alright, That’s all from me.
