saw these before....really useable ultra high ISO!

Seems pretty good ..  even not the best picture ..  

Still even iso 6400, still some detail ..  I would say at least a stop or 2 better then 5D ..  

Would be even better at sRaw ...   I guess ...

Umm... that's kinda pathetic at 12800... You can't print that in any size other than 6x4...

This camera will change the industry!!!!

Here seems to be a footage of what Vincent L was producing with the 5D2...looks awesome...low light...DOF...

It's a pain to those that live in a PAL world (like me).. as opposed to NTSC...

Nice .. so .. for wedding photgrapher ..  just take the video ..   then pick the still shots ..   

Dont know how fast the AF is ..   

Well ..  good move for Canon .. however, how would it affect the VC market?

By the way, good blog, Vin L must spend 24/7 on it ..  lol

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.

Think of it this way...people who will buy 5D2 will not buy it for the video mode, afterall it's still a DSLR, so HD video is only a BONUS!  However, I'm very excited about his comments....

"at 3200 ASA -with close to ZERO noise… this camera is STUNNING - I’m not throwing around expletives needlessly here",

"the funny things is - we borrowed the Canon XH-A1 to do the behind the scenes footage - and we decided not to correct it for the behind the scenes video…because it clearly shows how big of a jump (leap) this camera is technologically…while the video quality is similar in daylight (5D MKII is better…) the night time footage is night and day… frankly - and I may get heat from Canon for saying this the Canon XH-A1 looks like unusable garbage… an that’s because we were shooting in light that was as low as 1/8th of a second at f2 set to 1600 ASA for a film camera… the video from the XH-A1 looks like it was shot w/ my Canon G9…"

"A top commercial film editor who  who regularly edits RED camera footage - and has seen the raw footage from the 5D MKII - says the 5D MKII is “far superior to the RED camera” in terms of low light performance…"



In LIve View, there's a video and still mode.  I'm not sure if that means you can take full res still frames while taking a video...need to know more details.  Those pics on the blog is just "still grabs" from the video.

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。
