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
