Dang. I was feeling pretty smug recently, anticipating purchase of a Nikon D90 to upgrade my D70 with the new chip and video capabilities. Compared notes with a local film student featured on this site recently who is considering a similar purchase rather than a video camera.
Now Canon is leaking info on the HD recording capability of their 5D. You need to check this out!
Keep in mind – this is raw footage (not RAW) from both Canon XH A1 camcorder – and a few clips for the Canon EOS 5D MKII – you’ll see that the two are toe to toe (not really) on bright scenes… but in low light – NO COMPARISON… so I’m not sure of how Canon feels about my trashing their top of the line XH A1 camcorder… but common sense leads me to state the following: if the Canon still camera team and the video team have come together to produce the Canon EOS 5D MKII – the next HD camcorder they come out with – may just floor us all…
