I've looked through all of your reviews in detail and still can't make up my mind on whether I should get the 5d or mkII.I know mkII is packed with pixels with more detail for landscape shots but when it comes down to portraits to my eyes, mkII seems too detailed and too sharp. (I don't know but I think it also lost that film like look..with lot of depth and nice skin tone) Maybe it has to do with post proc. but could I possibly have you thoughts on this?

This camera can do most of the things the 1D can, but it will never achieve the same quality as a professional camera such as the 1Ds in low light condition because the noise is a lot more in this camera (5d mk II) than the 1Ds. You are comparing it to the 1D which indeed is way faster than this one, but check out the specs for the 1Ds Mk III. The place where i work at, they use all cameras 1Ds Mk III and they use the 5D as a back up.
I would disagree, I shoot for a living and I have not seen anything the 1D can do that I have not done with the 5D with the exception of more frames for sporting events. I will actually shoot better at low light than than the 1D, just less focal points. I would not call it for beginners unless you just want to shoot in all auto mode.
it’s for beginner photographers because when you are into photography as a professional, you wouldn’t want to use a 5d mk Ii but a canon 1Ds Mk III or a nikon such as the D3X for “professional” quality, specially if you are shooting in low light conditions.
In Live View, I’m fairly sure most newer Canon cameras have a quiet shutter mode. You do have to hold the release button (or some sort of button, I don’t remember which), and when you let go the mirror cocks. So you’ll have to mosey to a place where you can let the mirror slap back.
saying all of this i still prefere the phots of canon digitals…i have not got the same colour quality when since using nikon…but colour quality is nothing if you cant get the picture you want because the control isnt there.
peace

i would love to hear your opinion instead of just “im saying”
the shutter/aperture controls feel awarkd and i have alot of finger dexterity as i have played guitar and piano for over 15 years.
Their viewfinders are nothing special
they dont som much feel like a photographers camera anymore instead a electronics company akin to sony or panasonic…
they dont have any quirks ie lens signature..i know this is the way things are moving but atleast nikon allow you to use old lenses on their cameras.
they lack direct controls so menu diving is invitable
well why then? justify your statements otherwise its just nonsense…its like everyone on youtube are walking adverts parroting slogans without any thought process.
Ill explain what i think disprove me if you want
their cameras to me feel like they where not meant for human hands the four rows of buttons controlling iso wb etc are indistinguishable without looking you cant turn it off without moving you face off the camera, the af is stone age …
i agree haha its rediculous
im saying lol
