I shoot tethered most of the time, so the improved transfer speeds are always welcome. Model: Hadisha Sovetova Hair & Makeup: Karina Jemelyjanova two game-changing features for me are the dual card slots and USB 3.0 connectivity. I found the Mark IV and II to be identical in terms of color reproduction. Yes, both cameras tend to shift the red to orange while giving blue a more cyan shift, but that’s just how Canon’s color science works. Both sensors have similar color reproduction which is second to none. The sensor has a better dynamic range as well as color depth.
The 5D Mark IV is noticeably better in that sense too. Sometimes a high ISO is needed when the strobe doesn’t have enough power or the location dictates it. As with all cameras, old or new, detail and contrast are lost. With a Mark IV, ISO 1250 is usable to some degree. Fashion work shot on a Mark II anything above ISO 800 isn’t usable, but it is rare to go that high. Model: Hadisha Sovetova Hair & Makeup: Karina Jemelyjanova ISO, I rarely used the 5D Mark II on anything beyond ISO 3200. My shooting style is quite quick, as most of the time, I am working with a strict timeline. That said, if you like to get everything perfect in-camera good, for you.
I crop to fit different print purposes often, so the extra ~10 megapixels (21MP vs 30.4MP) make a difference. Having had them side by side, the difference is noticeable, but not day and night. Here is where the biggest difference is, but it is important to put that difference into perspective. I’d often accidentally switch the mode on the Mark II, and it got so bad I taped the dial at one point. That said, could I still do a shoot on a 5D Mark II? Absolutely! But how different would it be? That’s the question I want to answer in this article.Ī big edge the Mark IV holds is its locking mode dial. A few more things like the improved autofocus and better sensor made the transition more necessary. The reason, as I outlined in my review of the 5D Mark IV, is simply that it gives me more resolution, which is critical for crops and large prints that inevitably most fashion photographers deal with. So could it be that me recommending the 5D Mark II is hypocritical and I should really ignore Mark II? I don’t think so. Interestingly, I don’t use a 5D Mark II for my work now, as I go with a 5D Mark IV. But what would happen if I was to put two 5D models side-to-side? A medium format sensor, even from 2009, generally beats anything full-frame. The full-frame sensor is better than any cropped sensor. Perhaps I would say to start off with a used 5D Mark II. I love the camera and can’t recommend it enough to anyone who is starting out.
