Video Sample from Canon 5D MkII (Digital still SLR)

radiantm3 · 09-23-2008, 09:58 PM

First post here. Had to make it a camera related post. Check out the sample video taken from the upcoming 5D. It's breathtaking.

This will be my next camera. Aside from all the expected still-related updates, it records 1080p .h264 quicktime files at 30fps. At first I wasn't sure about the idea of adding video recording to a higher end SLR, but the sample video has sold it to me. I want this...now.

WOW. I shoot with a Canon XH-A1 in HD, but now this has your SLR lenses directly mounted on the camera!!

SCTexas · 09-24-2008, 12:40 AM

That is insane! Do you still have to focus manually when you shoot video on the 5d?

remmib · 09-24-2008, 06:32 AM

I saw it yesterday and it's totally insane.

WOW That is insane. I wonder how much PP they've done to that demo video, or is pretty close to what the camera outputs naturally?!?!

The guy who shot it said no post processing was involved.

From the photographer's blog:

Quote:

…and that’s with the video that is downsized to 960 x 540 (which is 1/4 of 1080p!) in the Apple H.264 format from the full resolution 1080p RAW footage… the RAW footage that comes out of this camera is STUNNING - so much so that the entire video was cut with the RAW footage - untouched… in any way - no color, noise or exposure adjustment whatsoever…

Woww!!!! That is amazing. Goodbye to overpriced production cameras? lol How much is the 5D going to cost?

EOE90 · 09-25-2008, 02:13 AM

damn, i need to sell my Everio HD! haha, any word on price yet?

And here's the behind the scenes footage (raw) for that Vincent Laforet clip:

This one's really interesting to see how they shot and edited the clip.

This DSLR is going to be sick...check out what this guy did using this camera. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these...

oh hell yes, great camera i'm sure.........just way out of my price range. I would also love to try the D3x from Nikon.

Prissy · 09-26-2008, 11:10 AM

how much is this?

Prissy · 09-26-2008, 11:19 AM

0_O over $2000

M3zifier · 09-26-2008, 12:17 PM

the 5D will be like the iPhone in 2001... This will Rock! It will set the standards, and the rest will lead. Altho Nikon was officially the first HD cam built in Canon, but the way canon present it's tech is really great. Especially with the L series lenses that it carries.

DoubleOh7 · 09-26-2008, 04:02 PM

retail $2699...worth it if you compare to Nikon's version, or even the prior 5D model

Prissy · 09-26-2008, 04:53 PM

group buy specials? ^_^

The_Blob · 09-26-2008, 07:04 PM

Remember that 11 different lenses were used and I bet it took a lot of trial and error to get it just right. A professional video camera would be a lot easier and better when you consider the price of the lenses.
