Canon 5D Mark II … is it just me?
… or does the Mark II feel somewhat “plasticy”?
Review @ dpreview.com
As usual and due to the fact that I rarely buy equipment at or shortly after release, I’m way behind the drag curve with this. Also, I look after glass and gear extremely well and thus work with a given model for a long time. I have only sold the original 5D recently and received the Mark II last night. So far I have not taken any pictures nor even inserted the battery. I only unpacked it and gave it some “feel”, open battery door, etc. It feels “plasticy” or somehow “light and hollow” … I’m not sure, whether I am making myself clear here. What I’m asking, not being able to compare side by side: “Was the original 5D of a more solid build?”
That said, having enjoyed the original 5D tremendously, to some extend a revelation following years with the D60 and others in between, I’m expecting great things from the Mark II.
So long
Tommy
