i love canon cameras

The scenario called: a formidable concentration of photographers and models on the one hand and a reflex camera for high-flying out of the oven just on the other. Six hours after his presentation, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II yesterday made their first clicks in the hands professionals under the umbrella of the Pasarela Cibeles. QUESABESDE.COM used the occasion to gather the first impressions of the photojournalists.
Madrid. Eduardo Parra .- After weeks, months and almost years of uncertainty, the EOS 5D has the baton. The new wager is called Canon EOS 5D Mark II and has taken so long to get that many or almost expected.

Days and days of rumors, confirmations and denials, of ads and mysterious phenomena such as the curious people by the Democratic candidate for the White House may have passed bills to the Japanese.

And it is that today, in what is probably the area with more professional photographers per square meter, the show formerly known as the Pasarela Cibeles and renamed as Gateway Madrid Fashion Week, the EOS 5D Mark II, it has barely lifted comment.

Not only that his presence was not announced, but on Tuesday, sources confirmed to Canon this means that the new SLR not pisaría the catwalk.

However, the EOS 5D Mark II has made act of presence, but with clothes preproduction. “This is almost a project to which you have placed an order for the casing you can see,” a representative was excused from Canon Spain yesterday. “The final version will be far from this.”

A first step discreet

The typical bustle of the parades are mixed with an apparent wariness Canon stroll by the camera, probably because this Friday celebrated the official press conference in Madrid a day later than in other European countries, and do not want to break the magic.

Even so, the EOS 5D Mark II has approached timidly to the catwalk for the first time to test whether withstand the rigors of daily work.

Oscar Mateos, head of Canon in the Madrid event, proud yesterday showed clips captured with high sensitivity and challenged the informant graphics around it to guess the value ISO used. ¿3200?, Asked a photographer. 25,000, award Mateos with satisfaction.

While it is still early to speculate on the performance of this model, to QUESABESDE.COM was able to reporters yesterday graphs have not embraced the novelty gun with so much joy as it might have deserved.

So, more than one wondered if we are not confused with the EOS 50D to note the presence of the new SLR in the event. Others questioned directly by the PowerShot G10 because the new Mark II “not interested”.

Conservative

Daniel Ochoa of Olza, photographer for the Associated Press, said yesterday this means that “the important thing [the EOS 5D Mark II] is a camera that is giving sharpness because he did not EOS 40D and EOS-1D Mark III either. “

“I believe that Canon has been very conservative in this chamber, since it has not really brought anything revolutionary: the video as the ISO 25000 and was Nikon, and the 21 megapixels are also not surprising. In addition, we will have to see how it works, what da noise and what colors. I truly revolutionary approach would be that good, “he commented this photojournalist.

Oscar del Pozo, freelance photographer, commented: “The video recording is not what I’m looking for. Looking for a lightweight camera body as the second film to make, but the EOS 5D Mark II offers benefits that are not needed, while others, such as speed, have not improved enough. More and more megapixels ISO is fine, but that does not justify a change of model. “

From Sanbernardo, the newspaper ABC, is going a bit beyond the qualities of the new EOS in his analysis: “The move [a reference to the video recording] is good, as long as publishers we are not loaded with double work each item. “

“There will come a time when the newspaper take a video and you ask the photo, or vice versa. Or disappear photographers or disappear ENG [Electronic News Gathering]. If the camera gives good results in high definition, we will end up recording and video capturing a frame instead of taking a picture, and this will destroy the charm of the picture. “

Maybe not the most appropriate setting to get a ride the EOS 5D Mark II, but the fact is that the flowers in this model were few. And they were, they were nuanced. “The progress is good, and the video for me … but I explain to me what I do with the EOS-1Ds Mark III for which I paid 6,000 euros,” complained a photographer for a powerful publishing group.
