Canon 5D Mark II - if you owned

Hi!

The local camera shop has a used 5D Mark II. 

I currently have a Canon SL1 and was looking to upgrade.
I had been considering the Rebel T8i and the Canon RP (mirrorless full-frame).

 

I looked at the specs for the 5D II and they seem fine even though they do not have the latest and greatest of anything.

 

I handled it without battery and with the very light weight 50 mm F/12.8 lens and it did not feel heavy (but would want a heavier/longer lens than that one to help with stabilizing the camera) -- I am petite and use cameras hiking.

 

If you have owned and used this camera, what are your thoughts on it, especially for landscape?

 

I am also going to be working with ND (neutral density) filters and maybe seeing if I like astrophotography.

 

Thank you and all the best!

Annie

Annie keep in mind most of the advice about landscape and sports or low light or whatever photography is mostly nit picking. Either camera is going to do just fine for either or anything.
