They're so niche and cumbersome. Ideally shouldn't the perfect camera excel at everything? So something that can go with you anywhere but also deliver fantastic results in a studio, be fast, easy to use, durable etc... Something that could be a great camera for every kind of photography would be the perfect camera, wouldn't it?

Ah yes, the Canon 5D Mark II.

If you're after ultimate image quality they are definitely an endgame camera, but only for slower and more methodical work. It will not be a camera you can just walk around with snapping willy nilly if you want to utilize their full capabilities.
Technical cameras have very high precision fitment/parallelity and great ridgidity between lens and sensor that plays a major role in why they produce such good quality images.
You can get older tech cameras for 120 format if you wanted to play around with one. They aren't too expensive. The camera in your picture could easily exceed 30k with the right lens and databack.

All cameras have compromises and there is no truly perfect camera. I doubt there ever will be.

Hence the word 'ideally'

Another victory for the 5D mk 2, when will it end...

Too big, if you want the perfect ratio usefulness/resolution just buy a medium format they can do 80% of what your picrel can for 600bucks. A RB67 will never break and you can travel with it, it's just at the limit of breaking my twink back. The only thing you won't have for most mediums is the architectural features, but, you can modify them or buy a fuji (but then it's too big for traveling). Also if you want to start this, shoot slide film, it feels magic in medium format. I shot two rolls of E100 in Hong Kong last week I'm waiting for the lab results I'll post it soon

>technical... camera?
yes please

>>4494543
he can't keep getting away with it

>>4494543
the chael sonnen of cameras, undefeated, undisputed, never hit, never disrespected

>>4494543
You mean the mark III

Same images but it doesnt need magic lantern for ISO settings to work correctly and the autofocus is better than every nikon, fujifilm, panasonic, and pentax ever made

Imagine if /p/ was a place where we argued about the best technical camera instead of the best dslr...

>>4494586
They pack better and are lighter weight than an rb67.

>and the autofocus is better than every nikon, fujifilm, panasonic, and pentax ever made
Already true of the EOS-1n, let alone the 5D2, to be quite honest with you, senpai.
>doesnt need magic lantern for ISO settings to work correctly
ML doesn't change anything about the operation of the ISO settings in the OVF, only the live view. Most of what ML does is live view only with the exception of the shooting section, so stuff like trap focus and intervalometer.

Counterpoint, the 5D2 has interchangeable focusing screens, whereas the 3 does not. The 2 also has a better reputation for reliability than the 3, and the 2 is usually a fair bit cheaper. Though I will admit these two cameras are currently in close competition for the best digital camera you can buy when measuring by price per performance. How lucky we are that our hobby has technology that ages so gracefully.

>They pack better and are lighter weight than an rb67.
Yeah but the rolling boy just operates like a normal camera, albeit a somewhat unwieldy one. Technicals don't really work outside of a studio and a tripod is a must.

>>4494679
I mean with the right databack they totally do work like a normal camera. They are commonly used for landscapes. Idk if the newer ones have helicals built into the lenses or not, so maybe not great for studio work unless you have one with a bellows..

>>4494662
meh if you go on a trip you'll have to take a tripod + every pic will take 15min to set up, meanwhile a medium format is just as fast as a SLR. Basically what this guy said >>4494679

>>4494823
You take the lens and film back off your rb67 it will take similar time to set up. Why is 100 speed film easier to use off a tripod than 100 iso? I'm confused by your thinking on this one.
