Hello everyone.
My 5D mark II just arrived a couple of hours ago. Like a little kid on Christmas day I tore the box open gave the battery a quick 15 minute charge, popped my 85mm 1.8 on and then headed outside with my dogs to snap some photos
5D mark II vs. 40D
I only snapped a couple photos outside and I am completely amazed. I maybe psychologically trying to justify spending $2499 (bought online and got $200 cashback from live.com).
First thing I noticed was a depth to my photos that just wasn't present before. My photos aren't as flat and images seem to pop out of the photo.
Second thing I noticed is the LCD was worth the upgrade alone! I can now see if I got the shot or not.
Third of all the background blur is so much more appealing than with the 40D. I'm not going to analyze the science behind it. It just looks better to me.
Forth: The color saturation is amazing. I haven't changed any of the pic style settings in the camera...just took it out of box and snapped some raw photos.
I was somewhat skeptical that I'd see a difference and really wasn't too concerned whether or not I did discern an improvement. I needed a second camera body and just ordered it.
If anyone is on the fence purchasing this camera there may be something to this upgrade!
