Comments on: Canon EOS 5D Mark II http://www.dphotojournal.com/canon-5d-mark-2-review-sample-photos-user-manual/ Thu, 04 Apr 2013 05:48:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Bernt Ersson http://www.dphotojournal.com/canon-5d-mark-2-review-sample-photos-user-manual/comment-page-1/#comment-241230 Bernt Ersson Tue, 26 Oct 2010 15:43:53 +0000 http://www.dphotojournal.com/canon-5d-mark-2-review-sample-photos-user-manual/#comment-241230 Focusing screen falls loose on EOS 5D Mark II! I have owned: EOS 30D, 40D, 50D, EOS 5, EOS 1D Mark III. I am a semi-professional photografer and I have published 8 books with more than 2000 pictures taken with these cameras. I am not a new beginner. - I worked with the camera with no problem a couple of months ago, stored it about two weeks without taking the lens off, when I took it out again I could not use the camera. When I took the lens off both the focusing screen and the superimpose plate fell out of the camera house. This has happened on numerous occasions for several users even on brand new cameras, see: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-eos-5d-mk-ii-hd/484053-focusing-screen-fell-out.html - Canon Sweden does not acknowledge this problem and do not accept that this is a construction fault or a guarantee matter. I had to pay fully for the "repair", even though they "found nothing wrong with the camera house". This is obviously a bad construction! I do not recommend this camera house! Very unprofessional behaviour of Canon Corp! Focusing screen falls loose on EOS 5D Mark II!

To get my tech fix, I have bought the eos 7d as my second camera which should keep me going in the meantime.

Has anyone used this camera in Video mode and been really happy with the audio? Is the audio always in Auto Mode or can you set it manually as well. What about using a high gain microphone into the mic input? Thanks for the comments in advance. There has been very little commentary about the audio quality of the Canon 5D Mark II.

I have another question: It can produce video in Quicktime .MOV/H.264 format only. I have Adove Premiere Elements 8 for editing the clips but it cannot read the .MOV files from the Canon, complaints about needing a codec. Where can I get the codec? Anyone? Thanks It has a microphone that records audio along with the video.

Digital Photo Buyers Guide states this camera does not have audio capability. Does that mean it does video without the audio? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! I have a question.
