拍 wedding 唔得, 只得 1920x1080 , 只夠出 4 x 6,

唔會影響 video camera 市場, 一般人唔會花咁多錢去買機買鏡只拍十幾分鐘 video.

真係拍 video 既就會嫌部機冇 xlr ,  而且 edit 都好有麻煩, 因為用 h.264 encode, 估計係 avchd 制式. 做 edit 有少少麻煩.

最大市場係 web base news reporter, 可以影相, 可以拍簡單影片, 直接上網(h.264) 一腳踢!!!

或者拍 短片, budget 唔足夠, 用 5d2 搭夠.

用得　ＲＥＤ，　斷估唔會沒錢打燈．用　５Ｄ２　去接　“top commercial film”　？？？
low light performance 幾好都沒用。　

question: how about video color space?

Ｈ264/avchd drawback:

quote from Vincent Laforet :

the 3 minute AppleTV res file took 35 minutes to export in Final Cut Studio’s compressor (there was no rendering involved…) Actually rendering the credits took longer than exporting the video through compressor…

......
as an ENG or documentary camera the 5d is useless especially because of depth of field. you will be unable to keep subject in focus. even a highly skilled focus puller has difficulties when you work wide open; add the full format to this and your breaking news is … shallow.
睇埋其他人feed back, 　marketing 成份多．



不過，作為CANON 用戶之一，我都有興趣試下呢部機。

quoted from blog.vincentlaforet.com

Having video capacity in stills camera is an old story. A lot of P&S have it, some in HD. How having this in 35mm full frame camera will revolutionize…yes, what? TV or film production?
Professional EFP-electronic field production- requires dedicated pro cameras. The ones with proper frame rates, resolutions and fields , Time Code, big HR viewfinder, XLR audio connections, shoulder mount capability, long lasting bateries,and many many other things. Any video professional will tell you that having a camera as crippled as 5D2 for video production is not their dream. The only interesting feature is the low light capabilty. But then what stops Canon from putting this capabilty on their proper video cameras? Another story is the moving pictures cameraman skills. How many photographers think in terms of “crossing the axis”, edit matches, shot sequence, zoom avoidance, camera movement, rhythm etc etc. In the worst case all 5D2s will produce bad looking amateur videos. You Tube is gonna broadcast them all?
This thread already shows the great ignorance of the filmic issues within the photographic community. Why on earth would you need great storage and bandwidth to show HD movies on the web? Apple Tunes store sells them by hundreds.
1 hour occupies something like several gigabytes at most. Nobody of sane mind will place raw (in the sense of unprocessed, acquisition quality) footage on the web! The 5D2 codec apparently records with 35 mbit/sec. Regular dv is 25 mbit/sec. But that’s acquisition quality. For distribution you must go down to several mbit/sec to make the whole experience palpable even to the most broadband armed, web savvy users.
I am sorry to disagree wwith most, but the marketing gimmick is not revolution.
Great low light capability-yes. Give it to me on the proper dedicated video camera, the one that will have cameraman faint of hand fatigue. Try to hold your 5D2 in front of your eyes for hours. You’ll learn a thing or two about “duck walk” to minimize shaking, about hand and back fatigue etc.

其實我好想有部 dream machine 既可拍　VIDEO 又可拍 still 架，

then I can sell my sony Z1 out and those LAVs, mics, video heads, tripods.. video lights..

不過, 針沒兩頭利.  CANON 一向有出 VIDEO CAMERA, 難道佢會搬石頭砸自己對腳？？

我未轉HDV 之前都有用CANON VC, CANON 係利用本身經驗﹠ADVANTAGE 去打擊NIKON.

至於你講：
Just wait and see how many photographers will adopt this in their businesses in the near future!  Imagine when you're showing a slideshow of picture galleries, you see a nice intro and a ending to complete the set, or to compliment the important moments!

不用等啦，好多人做緊。

講多句, 我都好想要5D2, 因為佢有淺景深, 拍VIDEO效果比得上 MOVIE, 就算 2/3" ENG 機都做唔到. (原因在於鏡頭，　以前要做同樣效果係非常麻煩，　如用CANON XL2 接　EF Adapter,  但焦距乘大幾倍，另外就係用　35mm adapter，　咁做係非常昂貴。　

canon　就係睇到呢個市場。買部　5d2　平過買　35mm adapter，

至於係唔係淺景深就好呢？係拍　video　實踐之中，拍　event　用　sony z1　有時都 out of focus，　用　5d2　真係不敢想像！　至於話收光圈拍，呢句話係外行人講。

記唔記得早幾年成日嘈　canon　走焦？　原因係以前用　film　唔係每個人放大相，　轉左係mon睇，　個個都　100% crop.　試想下　hdtv,　37" 42" 50"...而且仲要係 MOVING OBJECT!

如果有 canon　用　5d2　拍　tracking shot　或者　close up moving object 就好啦。canon web site D sample 全部避重就輕.

超正　CANON 廣告片。
