I just bought a Canon 5D Mark II yesterday from Japan. I was looking for a Mark III, but I saw this one MINT with only 6, 000 shutter count, so I was not going to let that one pass me by!

Very neat and clear, well done!! I appreciate your thoughtful explanations.

Thank you for the video.

Canon 5D Mark II is a timeless camera. One can use it as long as it keeps shooting. I own it and am really proud of it. A fantastic imaging equipment. If I have to take one camera for all purposes to anywhere, it is always 5DII.

Thanks again.

No way I always wondered what that thing on the strap was for!

Thank you this helps, coming from a nikon d700, I don't plan to sell it but keep both, got one 5d mark ii few days ago and should be coming in soon. Only reason I ordered based on reviews about this camera, neck to neck with d700, but mostly the picture quality and a classic, paid 300 with 1450 shutter count.

I wonder why you can even select Auto ISO in Manual mode if it doesn't set the ISO automatically

Thanks a lot, you help my work tomorrow. :-)

Does it offer electronic rangefinder for manual focus assistance?
