The Canon 5D was my dream camera; a full frame DSLR at a “reasonable” price. It was also my first DSLR and took me two years of sparing to be able to afford it. Thus, in February 2006, when I finally ordered it, my photography skills took a boost.
Less than a week ago, I changed for the 5D Mark II. It was a planned choice also. I wanted to resell the 5D just before the summer holidays. Now, I have the camera happily stored in the closet, took a couple of pictures, tried to read the manual, but so far, I still couldn’t play with it.
It was challenging to get the Mark II. I first ordered it on Swiss shop that noted it “in stock”, but appeared that their database wasn’t synchronized with the reseller’s. I placed a second order on another shop, which claimed to have it in stock, too. They even sent me an invoice notice! After a week, I inquiry about the camera and, like before, nothing had been sent. Out of stock. For at least one month.
Finally, I ordered it at BH Photo Video. One day later, it was out of stock also!
Does anyone knows what’s going on with this camera? I mean, this is no cheap DSLR..
Hello,
Your photos are beautiful, I’m using myself a Canon EOS 5D Mark II since Marsh this year, it was hard to control it . But finally it’s an incredible camera specially when you are using it for underwater photography which is my passion. Congratulation againfor yours pictures.

hi,
Thanks for passing by!
What do you mean by “it was hard to control it”. Was it for underwater photography specifically?
I owned the 5d before and easily managed the mark II. It’s only with the camera features that I’m struggling.
