So I've had my 5D (classic) for a little over 6 months, and I love love love it. I feel like it has helped me learn so much, maybe because there's not as many 'bells and whistles' etc and I can just focus on finding good angles and compositions. I love the great smooth tones and colors and everything about the image quality.

However, as primarily a landscape shooter who does a lot of low light sunset sunrise longer exposure type stuff, I miss live view and the ability to zero in on the focus point immensely. I'm glad I went without it because it forced me to learn things about exposure and reading a histogram that I hadnt before, but there are a few times where I know I'm missing shots while trying to get the center AF point to lock that I wouldn't miss if I had live view an the ability to compose and focus through it.

So im pretty sure i am going to make the leap to a mark ii. There's a few other 'perks' of course, sensor cleaning, I'd like the capability for video and I believe the mark ii has better sealing since I spend a lot of time shooting near water/waves.

I'm really just looking for feedback from anyone who has gone from a beloved 5D to a mark ii. I'm a little afraid that I'll somehow be missing out on the 'magical' type IQ from the original 5D. What things should I know? What am I going to miss? Or love? Will my RRS L bracket fit? Or am I gonna have to buy it again?! Thanks in advance.

Good questions! My short answer to you is..."Take the plunge!" I also liked my 5D a lot and it taught me that if I was smart enough I could take quality pictures of the things I wanted to...I also do a lot of landscape, macro, and low light (with a tripod) photography...all things that the 5D is good at.

Then I bought a TS-E lens and realised that I really would like live view...there is a whole different approach to landscape and architecural photography when you set up a tripod and use live view. It's not for everyone or every type of photography, but you sound like someone who will enjoy this process. I now use it a lot.

As far as IQ goes, I make large prints and the only difference I've noticed is that I can now make larger prints of a similar quality. Colour and tone are still excellent. Those who look for certain characteristics may not like the 5D2 as much, but I look at pictures and don't notice any particular difference apart from the detail, which is better.

Regarding "bells and whistles"...like my mobile phone, like the design software I use, like virtually every electronic gadget I own, the 5d2 has functions I never use and will probably never use. But because they are not obtrusive I don't mind having them there. There are things I WOULD like...like a more easily accessible mirror lock, a lock button on the M,Av,Tv etc dial so that I can't accidentally move it when taking the camera out of it's bag....a few things like that but not deal breakers.

I like my 5D2 more than my 5D!

PS The sensor cleaning is very good, and my 5D2 seems almost rainproof...it often gets a bit wet.


Growing old disgracefully!
