Experience with the 5d or 5dII?
Quote from Luke Green on July 17, 2024, 6:15 pmPulled the trigger on a mark ii and it arrived yesterday. Found one that had about 40,000 shutter clicks so hopefully it has a long life ahead of it for me.
Here's a quick little test shot I took today. I'm taking it on a beach trip tomorrow as my only camera so I'll really get a feel for it then. First impressions:
- It's very big, but I really like the way it feels. Picking my OM-1 back up after made it feel tiny and sharp around the edges
- I didn't realize how much I rely on EVF exposure previews and histogram info. Definitely will make this more challenging but fun and a good exercise for me
Nice!
Hope you enjoy the slapping mirror and actually seeing trough the lens.
It's big but maybe you can find a BG-E6 and make it even bigger 😉
Here to give my final update - I really am enjoying the camera! Thanks to everyone who offered opinions.
Here's a couple shots from sunset at the beach this weekend - also took a lot of family photos and was really happy with how they turned out.
