Canon DSLR HD video filming
October 15th, 2009 | Author: admin
I have now started to test out different accessories for Canon DSLR HD-Video filmmaking.
I think the video quality in 1080P from Canon 7D and 5D Mark II is very good, but there is some challanges regarding:
1. Smooth and accurate focusing
2. Viewfinder
3. Sound quality
4. Rolling shutter
I will come back with more information about my field tests of different accessories that can improve the HD-video quality for Canon 7D and 5D Mark II

What rig are you using with the camera?
Hello Me XMan & Tom
As Kam says this is a RedRock rig with Follow Focus. I’m testing different equipment for HD-video with Canon 5D Mark II and 7D. I will post some of my reviews on this site.
Hi!
I LOVE the 7D review. Just wondering if the lense you’re using in this video is the EF 70-200 2.8 IS USM?
Cheers, Wasili
Hello Wasili
Good to hear that you liked the 7D review.
The lenses I use in the video is 70-200/2.8 and 300/2.8
May I kindly “bother” you with a question …
I will pick up the 7D tomorrow at the store – yippiieee – but I’ve heard so many opinions about the 70-200/2.8 and a good friend of mine recommended the 70-200/4.0 IS USM due to the lighter weight and of course less €€€. I’m not a pro like you, I just really enjoy photography as a hobby and was really looking forward owning my first L-lense. He said, that it’s only one
aperture value from 2.8 to 4.0 and for the everyday use the f4.0 will totally do the job for me. I DO NOT have any specific things that I’m gonna use it for (i.e. sports, cars, wildlife) ….so…. Your opinion if you don’t mind/have a minute or two?
mange takk,
Wasili
Hi, Wasili
I agree with your friend! Go for the 70-200/4 IS. It is lightweight, sharp and cheaper, and if you don’t need f/2.8 the 4.0 is a very good choice..
THANK YOU!
Your blog have many amazing content about slr camera. Thank you for share.
Hi,
Thank you for sharing these reviews.
Have you ever used Canon 7D to record a video clip in 640*480 @ 60 fps? Do you know the bit depth of the video under that condition? I know the camera could take picture in 14-bit. Is it the same in the video, or reduced to 8-bit?
I’ll really appreciate if you could reply:)
Thanks!
