this was the absolute peak of digital photography and its all been downhill after here. seriously look at the shots on flickr with this tag and how good they look. mirrorless is super sterile and fake looking, and older than the mkii just were shit to use and had too much noise. seriously dont sleep on these, 5d mkii and some EF L glass has u covered and then u can spend the rest of the money on travel and taking kino shots.
>>4478405I am good, thank you
>>4478407you cant be serious and help people save money with your gay little memes

>>4478412>RFexpensive shit ergo blob without a OVF. pass. im sure it has the specs all the gearfags want but a 5dmkii with its kit L lens is better at everything but mtf charts.
>>4478405>older than the mkii just were shit to use and had too much noise.How come? Doesn't the 6D use the same Sensor as the 5D ii?
sorry but at this point each and every single one has clocked 300k+ on the shutter and has all the rubber seals deteriorated the Nikon D610 and Olympus E-M5 MkII are the current "I have no money and I must cop swag" options, and after those inevitably all go to shit it'll likely be the Canon R & RP's turn to become mainstream workhorses in 11 years
>>4478416oh, and bonus points for the Nikon Z5, it's already a 800$ full-frame, the Z5 is gonna parent a whole generation of new photographers
>>4478416>each and every single one has clocked 300k+Maybe where you come from. In Europe you can still find many with way under 100k shutters.
FF pixel peeper DSLRs are a sure path to either quitting photography or turning into another loser like doghair/huskyfag and only ever taking photos of your pets in your backyardJust get a compact like a canon eos m and stop being an autistic fucking nerd.>BUT WHERE IS THE WEATHER SEAL IBIS OIS BURST RATE BUFFER DEPTH... WHERE IS THE FACE REGISTRATION QUARTERBACK DETECT AF...Photographers richer and more famous than you took better photos than you on all manual film SLRs because none of that bullshit matters except to soulless, non-artistic birdwatching boomers who walk around in the woods taking boring wikipedia photos of birds and mountaintops that no one will ever look at or care aboutTHE *ENTIRE* CAMERA MARKET IS FOR:1: WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY2: SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY3: OVERSPENDING BIRDWATCHING BOOMERS SPAMMING FLICKR WITH BORING SHITIf you're just taking pics or god willing, MAKING ART, you do not need more capabilities than offered by the original nikon F and a canon EOS M is fucking overkill.Prove me wrong. You fucking can't.
>>4478420I naturally distrust any claim of a decade-old professional camera that's been used that little The 5D Mark II is a "real photographer" camera, like, one people who do photography for money or an artistic pursuit actually use, it's not an X-T30 or somethingWhere are you finding used ones in such good quality?
>>4478427The AI generated picture proved you wrong
>>4478417You mean a whole generation of new pixel peeping gear nerds that care more about buying cameras than making artReal photographers don't need more than a compact or a film SLR. While you're consooming fujifilms for film "simulations", real photographers save their $2000 and just shoot a roll of kodak in glorious medium format.I used a DSLR when I was teenager and I am never going back to that POS. Just get a cheap point and shoot like an EOS M or shoot film.
>>4478431Extremely based.
>>4478431Still gave you a boner!The only large sensor digitals worth buying are called phase one and hasselblad.If you can't swing it, you're not gaining anything over an EOS M unless you're into>wedding photography (waste of time)>sports photography (waste of time)>being an overspending birdwatching boomer and spamming flickr with boring shitEveryone else only needs a compact or a film camera.
>>4478405>5d mkii and some EF L glass has u coveredUnless you want to do something basic like spot meter anywhere other than the center point
>>4478405OP is selling his 5dII on ebay btwThis is just like when that annoying backyard snapper gearfag told everyone to buy a D750, and then said he sold it and got a Z7.

>>4478439>Still gave you a boner!Projection, if I wanted to masturbate to furries I'd do it to real art drawn by furries.>>wedding photography (waste of time)>>sports photography (waste of time)Why are you guys so obsessed with pulling down fellow photographers? If we hadn't sports photographers, who would be there to make sure history is remembered?>>4478434>You mean a whole generation of new pixel peeping gear nerds that care more about buying cameras than making artNoone who remotely cares about obsessing over camera specifications is buying a Z5, same goes for 5D Mark II, it's just a reliable cheap full-frame from Nikon. That's it, that's why it's popular. Real photographers just want a passable full frame and they're gonna spend the bulk of their money on lenses.>Real photographers don't need more than a compactNoone needs anything, I don't need legs to live, sure is nice to have legs though, I have taken some of my best work with a $100 1200D Rebel and I created art with it, I'm still saving up for an OM-1 MkII, it doesn't hurt me to have a nicer camera that does what I want - better, and I hold no grudge against that 1200D, I love my EF-S and EF gear.>real photographers save their $2000 and just shoot a roll of kodak in glorious medium format.What's your obsession with trying to assert that real photographers only shoot film? I do both and I am content, I have an East German camera for having fun.>Just get a cheap point and shoot like an EOS MThe EOS M is an MILC, not a point and shoot, dumdum, see pic, r u just baiting?
>>4478447I kneel, Evropa won, my brown people market can't compare>Why is there such a cult around the 5D mark ii?It was really good when it released, so a lot of people bought it, so it lost value really quickly, so now it's a very cheap entry to photography for young people with not a lot of money being able to effectively get a pro body under 500$ with overall pretty reliable autofocus and build quality and be able to reap cheap 2000s DSLR glass that's still quality Then Magic Lanternbros came and gave it hilariously colour accurate RAW video recording so you had a lot of the cinema people make movies with itIt's a camera that was the right camera at the right time
>>4478450Oh, yes, and it was also the first real hybrid, first camera to take 1080p video, and they shot House MD with it, it became an industry standard DSLR
>>4478447It gained a lot of cultural cachet being the first popular “hybrid” camera (famously an episode of the TV show House M.D. was shot exclusively with it which was “a big deal” at the time). I think that just diffused into general gearfag subconscious where it just gets brownie points for all that stuff extra to its photographic uses, even if they don’t realize it.
>>4478412>>4478414the duality of fagns
>>4478427Anyone know why this gay furry is so obsessed with the two dog posters?
>>4478463Gay brazilian furry to you filho de puta.But you know you're cANON/cinefag levels of disliked here, right? You two are prime examples of stupid gearfags doing photography to justify your gear hobby. You are the best example of what not to do /p/ has ever produced. And one of you told everyone to buy a d750, and then suddenly didn't have a d750 and upgraded to a z7. Unforgivably scum behavior.
I've been shooting with my 5dmkii for 15+ years. If it could do 1080p 60fps for slow motion shots I wouldn't want to upgrade.I've moved beyond the camera and need something better.I'm thinking about getting a macro lens and use it for a dslr film scanner setup. It'll work fine in a static setup like that. But I need something that can shoot higher resolution video, better auto focus, cleaner iso and something MUCH lighter.
>>4478463>two dog posters*the dog posterThe husky was confirmed for dogsitting, not a different person.His german shepherd is kinda hot ngl
>>4478484>>4478478Cringe and schizo.
>>4478483The canon R10 is a better camera than any DSLR canon ever made, or any camera sony ever made>>4478484Why is every husky this fag owns so fucking fat
>>4478488His dog is hot, his photos are bad. I take better shots with an EOS M and the kit zoom. You going to have to accept this fact.
>>4478493>>4478484>>4478491Proof?
>>4478495Imagine you're a gay furry in brazil and you see this being squandered by someone who cant take photos and ruins everything with nikon colors and dirty film... A vaca foi pro brejo...
>>4478483Sounds like the 5D IV meets your needs? But you said far lighter, idk, Nikon ZR?? That does slow motion very nicely, up to 240fps I think
>>4478499>your bad pictures are what define you as a photographer!Not the hecking practice shots! You should post the green and purple pig ones too lmfao. I suck at digital color editing and I happily accept that. I don't think I had the proper raw converter for my incredibly based MFDB at that point. Lol what a shit show it was trying to fix those dang pictures.Only retards believe huskyfag and me are the same person btw.
>>4478505The great thing about it is that almost all digital pictures are essentially worthless to me, so I really don't care. Digital cameras are my test camera and snapshitting cameras. It's not really that serious. I just like taking pics with big cameras, making prints, and sharing my photos.Just look how amazing this contact print came out. I used azo paper + amidol to make it.
>>4478507>The great thing about it is that almost all digital pictures are essentially worthless to meThat's fine anon, there is literally no issues with this, use whatever makes you happy for photography, but can you stop being a snarky slit about it and pretending it makes you better than everyone else because you don't shoot digital? That only "real photographers" shoot medium format film?
SHOW ME A FINER LOOKING PRINT YOU HAVE MADE CUNTS. YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN LAID EYES ON DMAX THIS HIGH OR TONALITY THIS FINE. I DIDN'T EVEN TONE THIS WITH SELENIUM.
>>4478502I wanted to upgrade to one of the later 5d's, but my life priorities changed changed quite a bit during that time and spending a lot of dosh on anything camera related has been out of the question for many years.I was actually thinking about something like a Fuji XT5 (most likely wait until the XT6 is out). It fits most of what I'd want.
>>4478509Never in my life have I said that. My opinion is that photography is not finished until a print is made. It's that simple. I'm happy to see anyone using cameras and putting effort into their photography.
>>4478511Idk how well the Fujis do slow-mo, X-T5 is a nice option though, it'd make more sense to do X-H2 however, your 5DMkII does internal RAW via Magic Lantern, the X-T5 does not, the X-H2 does
>>4478509Every single time some schizo has a meltdown and mentions me it is almost always made up bullshit and weird lies. It's quite amusing. I haven't posted a new picture of my dog in months and we got a gay furry saying all I do is post pictures of my dog. Doghair! You spread yourself thin trying too many things! 90% studio work, and occasionally I walk around and take a pic with my 8x10 that isn't studio work. I've taken less than or close to 200 8x10 shots in the last year. I could go on and on, but I'll spare you.My advice? You can ask me about what I think.
>>4478514Xh2s would probably be the best choice. I've just taken a liking to the xt5.I never used Magic Lantern on my 5dmkii. I just had that Cinestyle picture style that I shot video in. Worked fine for me, but I always missed not being able to get a 2.35:1 frame on the screen to frame it better. I always ended up using a bit of painters' tape on the screen for more serious stuff. But I was so used to framing in that aspect ratio that I could just eyeball it fairly accurately.
>>4478510wow a photo of trash
>>4478429>I naturally distrust any claim of a decade-old professional camera that's been used that littleBecause you are an amerifat.
>>4478515>I've taken less than or close to 200 8x10 shots in the last year.you must b quite rich then
>>4478499Imagine you’re a gay furry in brazil and you focus on droopy roachback leo. He’s not very attractive for a dog, at all. No wonder his wife is a fat white bitch.
>>4478521I shoot mostly fomapan100 that's like 5 dollars a sheet fresh, and expired ilford film I buy off ebay that's like 4 dollars a sheet. Fp4+, my love, doesn't show any base fog if it's stored well and under 10-15ish years expired. It really isn't that bad. I make my own developer that costs pennies per sheet to use. If you consider that I've spent probably 300-500 hours the past year actually shooting that film it isn't too bad for a little fun each day.I don't shoot 8x10 to btfo anyone. It doesn't and cant online because you can only upload 4mb scans lol. I thought this was obvious. No one actually cares when you show evidence of your epson v850 producing a 600MP+ scan either lol.I simply enjoy the process more than other cameras and it lets me make contact prints. Contact printing opens up a whole world of really fun alt process printing you can delve into that's extremely fun.>>4478517LOL IT IS YOU. AHAHAHAHA I knew it.

>>4478510Pretty bad. You should lean into what you’re good at and photograph your shepherd with his favorite ball. The basket ball.
>>4478524Very rude. His back and hips are more like those pics of old school GSD if you even ever cared!
>>4478527But WHY is it bad? Show me better in the same genre. Also good idea, but I don't have a basketball or a hoop, sadly.
>>4478529Because construction site cleanup core is boredom-relief art for hobos, not anything communicative or documentary. And your dog is african american
>>4478532Oh, so you personally disliking it means it is bad. Figured that was the case. Seems to always be the case on /p/.I think it is nicely balanced, well lit, texturally, and tonally rich. It is also meaningless eye candy, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The meaning of a photo is entirely irrelevant on /p/. Visual interest and/or an adherence to the rules of photography or an appeal to specific and autistic taste by the individual nophoto is what makes a good /p/hoto.If you say a photo has meaning you get laughed at. You a gay clown or something?My dog is whiter than you are btw. Teehee. Post wrist, fag.
>>4478533nta, do you have the original image? I love macro crystal shots but your phone photo of a printout looks bad.
>>4478533> you personally disliking it means it is badIt’s bad because it’s literal garbage arranged in a square. It’s the kind of shit hobos and summer camp kids do with sticks, rocks, and moss. >my [visibly brown] dog is whiteHis fat wife sure is but L’eo is a certified nigga and exemplary of the diversity germany represents.
>>4478534Even tho it is a phone shot you can see how much better the print looks. Probably just a skill issue, but whatever. I dehydrated salt on glass and used my 8x10 to photograph it. It was really fun to hunt around for a nice composition on the glass plate. Tricky exposure as well, but I nailed it for contact printing.
>>4478538Cool I saw this picture and many like it in 6th grade science classToo bad you didn’t make something of the salt other than a "photo of"
>>4478537You're disgustingly pretentious lil bro.
What’s a better name for L’eo Germaine-Shepard’s wife?How about just Rosie O’Doggle
>>4478539See>>4478540You just sound like you hate photography. Sad!
>>4478543Your attitude warrants photography beyond just taking a picture of a thing. Fucking watercolor karens are taking it to the next level and sticking dehydrated salt to canvas to make snow while you’re shooting literal textbook material
>>4478545Again you are just a pretentious little whiner. NOOOO HAIRYDOG YOU SHOOT BIG CAMERA YOU MUST ONLY TAKE PHOTOS I DEEM IMPORTANT. I CANT CONTROL YOU SO I MAKE BIG STINKY! Photography is an iterative process for me, and I didn't want to iterate on my simple 8x10 salt crystal shots. Big whoop. They're technically well executed, and they do have composition to them. You simply do not like them because you're a pretentious little crybaby.Now. Show me one of your masterfully done, very important and creative photographs, please!
>>4478545Also the still life print I posted is more than just photograph of thing you retard.
>>4478548You’re right it’s a photo of several random things arranged but inchorent
>>4478549And? It looks cool, and it was a successful exercise. The coherency is in the composition and tonal balance. Sorry I didn't photograph a building corner or someones back for you bro.If I wrote an essay about the coherency of a photograph, had the actual god of photography say it was true and meaningful before photographing a still life you would still say, "Oh it's just some trash." You just don't get it, and that's fine nophoto.
>>4478553It’s a pile of junk
Josef sudek- egg and breadObviously his are way better than mine, but please feast your eyes upon one of the classic still life photographer's famous and well respected work.>Uhmmmm that's just bread and egg. I see that every morning when my mommy serves me breakfast! Just terrible!

>>4478576Why not? I think it's a little outdated now, maybe, but I like it for what it is. It's also really really difficult to get prints and lighting to the level he was able to achieve, so it's very fun to attempt to emulate his work.
>>4478579I'm simply mocking the nophoto. Join in on the fun and post still lifes of "garbage" if you like.
WaterglassCherriesbowlwheel thingwall in need of new paint. Absolute 0/10 incoherent trash garbage photograph.
>>44784055dmii was the peak of digital cameras designed for making the photo look as aesthetically pleasing as possible.After that sadly specs took over, higher megapixels or dynamic range became the thing that sells, all involve moving away from the image looking nice. 5dmii got so much shit for its shadows but looking back it renders shadow so nicely, and the fake ugly shadows that came in the future that only claim is they can be lifted 4 stops in post look fake and worse. 5dmii has inbuilt protection to stop ppl overcooking the raw by making it break.Also the 5dmii has quite heavily edited colours that look nice, not some word salad gimmick white balance thing all the modern cameras have that produce ugly looking colours. It’s all there on Flickr just compare the 5dmii group to any other newer camera to see for yourself.
>>4478589I like the s5pro for that reason too. They're pretty expensive for a 6MP camera tho.
>>4478589Shadow noise is fugly on the 5D2 and it also has lots of counterintuitive things.From the same era D700 is superior as a photo machine.
You can be as disingenuous as you want and dismiss any photo as "just a photo of (X)". Literally anything. Try it. It doesn't make for any valid form of criticism and, unless you're being facetious to prove a point, just outs you as being... wait for it... visually illiterate.
>>4478599BASED.
>Highest engagement thread the board has had in months>It's a mix of EF nostalgia, eggposting, furries, and the mythical pink pentax (also comes in yellow btw)
There really only ever was 3 significant cameras in all of history.The Olympus om1The canon 5dmiiThe iPhone.That was the 3 eras of photography. Everything else will be forgotten by history.
>>4478647Post the most significant picture from each era and maybe I'll believe you, cunt.
>>4478647I bet you're too afraid to watch a black and white film.
>>4478654DAMN zach you sent him straight to the emergency room with that sick burn. He will have severe scaring over 90% of his body if he even survives.
>>4478647>3 most important cameras in all of history>all 3 made within 15 years of each other>Photography has existed since the 1800sYes, the 3 most significant cars in history are the BMW 318i, Toyota Camry, and the Ford Falcon XR6
>>4478417z5 and other mirrorless produce soulless sterile crap. might as well use a phone camera
>>4478429>not an X-T30 or somethingXT30 fucking mogs your boomer blob, sorry idiot.
>>4478447Look at the photos from it. They nailed a digital full frame look that wasn't sterile but was still high quality. It went the wrong direction after that for digital.
>>4478633I am proud of myself for making this. I think people realize finally that the gear is just evolving to more and more sterile crap that isn't what makes a good photo nor is it fun to shoot with. Film might not be the answer for everyone, so the 5Dmkii is a good digital compromise before it all went down hill.
>>4478674/p/ is healing.
>>4478676By getting more fucking retarded? This thread is reaching disinfo levels of stupid. This is what happens when people with no talent keep trying to buy their way into a good photo until they hit a price ceiling and start contaminating their self perception with delusional nostalgia instead. >>4478668See this is literally fucking retarded. Unless you’re pushing shadows more than 4 stops every day it’s the same fucking camera as a d610 and all it does past that is not turn the shadows purple.
>>4478678Well... lets see it. Show us the truth with your photography.
>>4478678yesthe covid addition gearfags are getting extra stupid now, which means they are close to quitting photography or close to quitting gearfaggotry and being normal with an a7c and a 35mm f2.8all of their theories fell through, they are almost broke or fatigued from insecurity related to having $2k on a shelf when they’re not even good. this is their last ditch effort to purchase better looking photos. it is nearing the end.
>>4478679I don’t post anywhere near gearfag threads because my photos are recognizable. I don’t even post in gearfag threads from wifi in case one of the gearfags is a janny and peeps my hashed ip.
>>4478678Proof is in the photos. Z5 shots look utterly soulless. 5Dmkii has soul.
>>4478681>a7cThat's a meme. Just a parts bin camera with a crappier EVF. Might as well get an a7iii which is barely bigger and not crippled at half the price.
>>4478682Jannies can't see IPs, that's moderators which are the paid and (comparitavely) sane ones much less likely to do any funny shit with you.
>>4478682Oh, so your opinion goes in the trash. I had a guess that would happen...
>>4478685Yeah, this is what clueless gearfags say after browsing dpreview all day. But late stage gearfags that are running out of money or already tried the best camera they could afford and still didn’t get any better at photography. Not new gearfags who are still excited to upgrade. You are all the same. Every single gearfag is the same person. Yes, every one. From camera conspiracies himself to random anons on /p/. First you get into photography and suck. Your camera was not the best choice. Gearfags lied to you. It’s a bad, dated design, it has flaws, it needs to take the same picture twice or thrice sometimes because of the autofocus, it has mirror slap. Then you upgrade and get hooked on the thrill. You still suck but upgrade n sell is cheap, just a few hundo each time, and you’re getting better. And then you stop getting better. But you upgrade again. And you try the best camera you can afford to finally improve and go pro and you don’t improve. So you go down, seeking so called soul. You might get a d200 or a 5d classic/II. And no one notices or cares and your photos look the same, because all you ever saw in reality was that camera reviewers used to be better photographers than you. It is true, next you will either buy a normal camera, a step up from the "soul" ewaste, and just get good for once… or you will quit. There is an option 3, and that’s becoming someone known for a funko pop wall of ewaste and boring as fuck photos of benches shot with bad jpeg settings or badly converted raws, and talking about camera gear as an experience. This is the most horrid fate. Being a soiboi.
>>4478688If those are your terms you never had an opinion. Just a shopping list.
