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.

sorry but at this point each and every single one has clocked 300k+ on the shutter and has all the rubber seals deteriorated

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 backyard

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 about

THE *ENTIRE* CAMERA MARKET IS FOR:
1: WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
2: SPORTS PHOTOGRAPHY
3: OVERSPENDING BIRDWATCHING BOOMERS SPAMMING FLICKR WITH BORING SHIT

If 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.
>>
>>4478420
I naturally distrust any claim of a decade-old professional camera that's been used that little

Real 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.

Why is there such a cult around the 5D mark ii? What seperates it from the iii or the 6D?
>>
>>4478405
The 5dII and EF L glass covers:
Making loud clack sounds
Being a gearfaggot and telling everyone about all the focal length fnumber combinations you need
zooming to fill for every shot like every other boring GWAC
telling people about your dynamic range and sharpness
rambling pseudo-philosophical garbage about OVFs and EVFs that sounds like it matters but actually doesn't

Or you can just get a powershot s95 and actually take photos

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 art
Noone 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 compact
Noone 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 M
The EOS M is an MILC, not a point and shoot, dumdum, see pic, r u just baiting?

I 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 it

It's a camera that was the right camera at the right time
>>
>>4478450
Oh, 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
>>
>>4478447
It 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.

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.

The 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.

I 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.
>>
>>4478509
Never 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.
>>
>>4478511
Idk 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
>>
>>4478509
Every 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.
>>
>>4478514
Xh2s 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.

I 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.

Oh, 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?

Even tho it is a phone shot you can see how much better the print looks. Probably just a skill issue, but whatever.

5dmii 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.

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.

By 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.

>>4478668
See 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.
>>
>>4478678
Well... lets see it. Show us the truth with your photography.
>>
>>4478678
yes

the 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 f2.8

all 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.
>>
>>4478679
I 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.
>>
>>4478678
Proof is in the photos. Z5 shots look utterly soulless. 5Dmkii has soul.
>>
>>4478681
>a7c
That'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.
>>
>>4478682
Jannies 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.
>>
>>4478682
Oh, so your opinion goes in the trash. I had a guess that would happen...
>>
>>4478685
Yeah, 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.

Low IQ and delusional. Figures. Do you actually buy cameras just to samefag, call yourself based, and beg /p/ for approval or do you only pretend to because you’re poor?

Oh, no camera then?
>>
>>4478416
Canon RPs are already disgustingly cheap for a FF mirrorless considering they have the same sensor as a 6D Mark 2. Like $4-500 can get you into one, nearly the same price as a 5D Mark 3.

Yes, Canon's DSLR cameras had epic colors and depth. Their newer cameras can't compete on image quality.

Nikon's Z cameras have very good colors though.

Anon, you should really learn what words mean before you try to use them, you're embarrassing yourself.
>>
>>4478415
The 6D is newer than the 5Dii and uses a different sensor.

Trust this retard to recommend the only camera in the 5D series not worth getting. If you can afford a 5D iii just get a 5Ds or a 5Div, they're straight upgrades.
>>
>>4478427
>Prove me wrong. You fucking can't.
God is spelled with a capital G, lil bro.
Only a third world shitskin would get that wrong and then reccomend buying an entry level upgrade-bait camera under the guise of "le not gear fagging"
Sorry, but your post is pathetic. Read a book and try again.
>>
>>4478442
You know you can move the camera anon?
>>
>>4478538
this image looks better than the phone shot of the print, thanks. I'll bet the print and even more the 8x10 contact looks amazing IRL. Always gonna be haters like >>4478539 but there are tons of cool photos in science books and it's sad if people "grow up" out of appreciating them.

Lol and nikon retards and sony indians still don't come anywhere close 20 years later LMFAO

I feel like the barnack leicas bringing 35mm film to a stills camera is pretty important.

Fake zach spam.
>>
>>4478405
should i get the 5d mark ii for the absolute peak in digital photography or the 5d mark i for muh film-like portraesque 12mp jpegs?
>>
>>4480522
Get 5d Mark II because of Magiclantern.
>>
>>4480522
>absolute peak in digital photography
Weird way to spell D700
>>
>>4480522
Get the 6D and fuck magic lantern. It's less of a brick, has wifi, the Rendering is just as good (muh sperg out 5D ii colours bro) and you can find them in the same price and shutter range

ML is only really needed if you plan to make videos. If you are about videography then it would be downright retarded to get a camera that old. For photography it's still a valid choice
>>
>>4480522
I'm about to snag a 5D classic for the muh film-like but also because the technology limitations force you to think creatively.
You really can't crank the ISO without destroying the image, so you're forced to think harder about your shot instead of just going f/11 and ISO 12800.
>>
>>4480623
I wish ML was more useful beyond retarded basic shit.

Imagine an actual remapper tool, so you could remap shit you never use, like the button to set focus points (pointless when only the central point on the 6D is ever worth using) to something more useful.
>>
>>4480587
offensively plastic tat with dogshit autofocus and colours. hard pass
>>
>>4480522
mk1 is pretty bad to use. mkii is the peak fs
>>
>>4480645
If that’s your justification then skip the 5d and go for a 1d/1ds, probably cheaper and even more limiting in that way.
>t. Own both fun stuff
>>
>>4480707
>1ds
Are about 3x the price for a thoroughly bashed one. And I'd rather stick a grip to the 5D than forever have to deal with the cube(tm) ergos.
Funny because before I realised what I almost did, I had a 1D in my eBay cart ready to go and was like "hmmm, this is suspiciously cheap". Realised it's an APS-H sensor, but I was totally ready to buy one in good nick and for not retarded money.

Damn you’re right the market has gone insane I got mine for like 100 bucks which I considered overly expensive at the time for decrepitly old tech. Wild.

The m5 is the same camera but not recommended by gearfag youtubers that talk like they’re on xanax
>>
>>4478405

Yes, the first two 5D's do have something special going on. But for me, it will always be the accurate and realistic imaging Nikon D2x and D3x.
>>
>>4480587
>Weird way to spell D700

A good camera when used with the best classic Nikkors.
