Tom, thanks for your Canon 5D Mark II videos. I'm a Panasonic Lumix user with a G9, but I always have a backup camera. I found I wasn't using my old Lumix GH1 and I had two Canon EF lenses including the Nifty 50, so I traded it to mpb and got a Mark II in good condition for $217! Amazing. Your videos walked me right through the basics. Glad to see you're closing in on 50K subscribers.

I bought a Canon 5D mark II 2 years ago and it takes great photos. Although the maximum technically acceptable sensitivity is 1600, it is enough for me. You can add a modification to the magic lantern software, but the classic one is enough for me. Thank you for a great guide. Greetings from Poland

You can try the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM. It's an all-purpose lens albeit expensive. However, its predecessor EF 28-135mm IS is an old gold lens. Get one if u can find it with the old gear sellers' shops.

I can see the video was posted in June 2022, fourteen years later than the first introduction of the legendary DSLR. Yet it doesn't seem irrelevant at all rather; very relevant and necessary for many photographers. I own it since 2018 after buying it in almost mint condition with only 5k shutter count. I'm a hobbyist and this is my main camera along with another legend, it's predecessor the 5D Classic. Use them for landscape and street photography purposes. The 5DII also shines in wildlife photography if used for selective or even all purposes. Just love this camera. Thank you for the video.

The Camera is set up to use the 24h clock 02:×× is 2AM. 2PM would be 14:×× So instead of playing footsie with the CF card for 10 minutes, you could figure out how to use (for yourself), the 12h Clock instead?

You would be better served by native CF Cards. 64GB cards which at last glance can hold 1620 RAW+JPEG Images are like 20-30€s over on ScAmazon. In a pinch you could use an SD to CF Adaptor, but, sadly no native SD 4U. But the good news is the Mk III is currently at were this Camera was just 18 Months ago. Pros Dual SD, and 61 Point AF points vs the singular CF, and the Holly sum of 9 AF Points on the MK II. The Cons? New Button / Control layout, over the older 1xD and xD Series Bodies.

I only got 6 minutes in and had found that so many assumptions had been made that I unfortunately lost trust in the information being relayed. For example, not all card readers will be correct way with label up when sat on your desk. Some are label down. You need to refer to the keyway Channels down each side of the card... One of which is a wider channel than the other. These should prevent incorrect insertion, but don't always. A visual check is best before it becomes habit. Not all of us use Made either. Sorting that you US residents have mains sockets in your bathrooms too. Best wishes from the UK. 😉
