Canon EOS Kiss X3 / 500D / Rebel T1i movie : Sunday morning after the rain

[OliverElmoreAcoustic]

i hope its ok that i took this video for part of my music video?..

[TanyaConlin]

is it hard to video without a tripod or rig??

[mkdcad]

can u use this camera as a professional shooting pictures or not?

[RcTinCan]

@mkdcad You can use an Iphone 2g to get professional photography, so yes, you can

[Ebrothers2]

looks like a great camera, found one that im going to buy :D

[pesuhiir]

I really want one of these cameras 8D Getting one in a few weeks or months... looking great!

Does a 70-300mm Sigma lens sound okay for this camera? I want to mostly take pictures of my pets, some wildlife (amateur), and dog shows. So I really don't need macro that much, mostly I need to zoom a lot so I thought that'd be a great lens. Cause it's cheap.

[spameister]

i love my 500D but the AF in video mode is like wanking with sandpaper tbh

[PeterCaveTricks]

@spameister not gonna lie, that comment actualy made me laugh out loud xD

[JonaMo0]

@spameister Take it off auto focus then.. haha

[spameister]

@JonaMo0 mf is really hard as well because the shutter locks up in video mode so you can't use the viewfinder to focus properly

[DBWesley]

@spameister to be honest with you most cameras dont do auto focus too well. thats why you set it to "Live Mode" so you fouz before the shot, then it autofocus very slowly while shooting so you dont blur.

[djbazzmaster]

does the camera work with auto focus in video mode? or only manual??

[MrMistermoges]

@djbazzmaster just manual

[djbazzmaster]

@MrMistermoges

now i know .. i got the camera just after i send the message

[channelofepicwin]

I just got one today! XD

[djtubesoxx]

I liked the video. I also have a Canon Rebel T1i.

[DreamerCafe]

omg! now i want to dispose of my Nikon D5000! lol

[MrEbichan]

do i get a kiss if i buy one of these?????

[dnab95]

do u need a microphone for this camera?

[DartAmps]

@dnab95 if its the rebel t1i there is no input for a microphone it shoots 1080p but sadly at 20 fps but the 720 looks good as well

[PilotUTA]

is this with the standard lens?

[DartAmps]

@PilotUTA Yes it looks like it

[HeRiTiCs1]

awesome cam and vid but it looks like zombies just took over /:

[pamken29]

just wondering whats a good video editing program i can use to get a nice HD quality? and also are laptops okay with editing HD videos?

[DartAmps]

@pamken29 A good video editing program would be, final cut pro, after effects, or standard imovie for mac, i have the newest mac book pro laptop and it is a little slow with the HD quality video

[pepsivanilla93]

@DartAmps adobe premiere for editing. after effects is for compositing

[sculptureattack]

Is that auto focus, or are you manually fixing it as you go?

[boashet]

@sculptureattack sure is manual focus, in auto its so noisy

fonts:(i have one) hahaha

[PeaceProductionsx]

does it have a mic??

[melotheproducer]

13 years old? Wow...Nice work! (My 500D will be arriving today.)

[Ic0neStudio]

@mremmyG it isnt agaist you don't worry, its just that i cant believe that at your age, your parent buy a camera like this, anyway, its in general, i never saw a 13 years old kid using a reflex camera. but its ok :) if you like your camera i'm happy because i got the same too ! hope we can ride togheter one day ! :P be cool !

-Max

[Ic0neStudio]

@mremmyG why the fuck a 13 years old can use a camera like this ? you probably dont even know how to use a simple camera !

[juicypinkx]

@Ic0neStudio what's wrong with a 13 year old using a dslr? let alone owning one? they probably have a huge interest in photography to own this camera, and just as long as they can afford it! this isn't exactly a professional dslr either. try looking up the eos 1ds mark four.

[Patricio87]

in video mode can you shoot so everything is in focus or do you have to choose? seems like there is always some blurriness in the video

[arlikid]

@Patricio87 yes you can

[Blober112]

Is there a difference between a Canon EOS 500D and a Canon EOS Kiss X3?

[arlikid]

@Blober112 no, der all da same product

[Blober112]

@arlikid Thanks :) I worked this out after buying a Kiss X3 for so much cheaper than a 500D

it's wonderful!

[darklink09]

@Blober112 Is the kiss pretty much a 500d?

[Blober112]

@darklink09 Yes, it just says Kiss X3 on the front instead of 500D and i think it only has English and Japanese language choices. But neither of those effect me

[SuperBunnybuns]

Honestly The pentax k-x video quality seems better then this.

[MrDummy1412]

which lens?

[MariluLane]

@burtontool might have to use a different camera.. think its the same with all 500Ds, and its so expensive as well!!!

[irichie79]

I was figuring out how come his AF doesn't make any sound when he uses it, but it seems he is using MF with a USM lens. I just tested it with my 500D and it seems to work great then :) When using the AF then you can hear the noise in the background, specially in quite places

[MariluLane]

@irichie79 bit rubbish isn't it about hearing the AF during the videos... although i'm still contemplating getting one of these.. was only going to use 18-55mm standard lens supplied...

do you know if quality is better if a tripod is used? i have seen test videos of very different qualities with this same 500D...

:)

[irichie79]

@MariluLane i find it irritating to hear the AF when i watch the videos again, it's ok if you edit it with a music in the background though lol.

I am using the 17-85mm USM lens, it's working great even when I MF. Although the lens is a bit heavier then the kit lens, you will need to get used to it and just practice filming with it, specially when zooming and MF at the same time. A tripod would be ofc the best thing for filming although I don't see myself carrying one all the time. :)

[MariluLane]

@irichie79 hey thank you irichie!! :) yeah this AF issue is a real question because i dont see any alternative camera for me and canon is so great but - why have this stupid noise??!?!?!!! lol ;) i will look out for your vids!!!! have a great time in paris!!! :)xxxx

[irichie79]

@MariluLane Just keep in mind, the 500D is still a SLR, mainly for the pictures, the movie mode is just an extra :) But you should either check out the 500D or 550D, you won't regret it :)

[MariluLane]

@irichie79 very true, but buying a whole video camera as well is so expensive!!! lool i think i'll go for the 500D, altogether it seems like the best option overall ;)

[irichie79]

@MariluLane Oh btw i will be in Paris next week, i will film a lot and edit it afterwards. Will post the results when I'm done :)

[planomega]

beautiful i wanna cry :'- ) te resolution is excelent (In HD)

[ngveantat]

how do u make the vlurry effect in the background when taking a close up shot?

[whiteqtipful]

Rolling shutter is still no good on these cameras. Jello effect.

[topdimemonica]

i have this camera its fantastic!!

[ronaldjsyn]

im getting this camera!

[djboy09]

You can zoom while recording video manually

[nuttersandcrackers]

Hi, may I know if auto-focus works while taking the video? Or do we have to use maual focus all the while? Thanks~

[Darth9994]

The Video would look much better if you had used a tripod!

[cmbau]

Wow. I have to say this dSLR is impressive. Sound clarity is phenomenal. I've been amused.

[farstarfilms]

With ur T1i what lens did u use ???

[PatrickBooya]

Why does it have kiss in the name?

[blitzsquirrel]

The Japanese name for this camera model is the Kiss X3 (instead of 500D or Rebel T1i)

[warkilla]

Does anyone know if you can get a lense that lets you zoom while recording for SLR's that shoot HD video??

[be47]

you can zoom with the standart lense while recording.

[xpycsk]

Canon camera is not reliable, their repair technician said that the electronic component may fail to work at any time.

[TheoO18]

loool as we all may die one day

[misterpaxton]

how good would the HD video mode on the T1I for taking action video. Not quite fast action but quite a bit of movement

[ThaChingster]

I have this exact same camera, but the quality's soo bad..

[animation508]

do you know how to change ISO, resolution, etc or are you just in auto mode?

[ThaChingster]

Auto

[animation508]

you should look up some tuts and guides to get better results from your photos, learn about ISO, Aperture, Shutter speed, macro etc. There are also quality options, I recommend RAW, as it's the highest quality

[thelightbluev]

Is this with the kit lense?

[killzall13]

I have the kit lens its that I need a hood for the lens to get the lens flare out but there expensive!

[ydoucare55]

@killzall13 A $5 - 10 lens hood is expensive?

[regularityaudiolabs]

2 thumbs up!!!!!

[lc4151]

i am so jealous

the video feature came out like 2 weeks after i bought the model right before this but i am still happy that i have a d-slr

[JackSpesim]

What Lens do you use on this video?

Sorry Bad English, I'm Amateur on Photo/Video and Amateur in English too =P

[elitegirl108]

so beautiful

[renatamdm]

thanks for the video. I was looking for one that had real audio.... for how long does the t1i record??

[artillerypr]

depend how many gb in the SDHC card. i think with 16 or 32 you should able to record like more than 10 minutes HD.

[bluerider2012]

8gb is the max

[artillerypr]

i saw some videos using a 16gb SDHC on rebel T1i.

[HunterUniden]

@renatamdm sorry if it's late but the T1i can record for 29 minutes and 59 seconds of continuous shooting ;)

[ZackP27]

holy cow.

this video is AMAZING.

Combine interchangable lenses, REAL manual focus, 3 inch screen... there is no camcorder at the price of this SLR that can even come close.

[beermonkeyboy]

Hey, great quality and superb range of shots/subjects. Quick question - is all the audio on this video from the on board camera? and is the audio any good? finding it difficult to judge on youtube though with people compressing differently, but guess you'd hear it better on pc speakers/through a TV?

Cheers in advance if you can help :)

[spadastunter]

@beermonkeyboy the audio is mono

[beermonkeyboy]

Hey, Great quality and excellent range of subjects. I'm thinking of trading in my canon eos 350d body for the 500d, but i was wondering - is the audio you on this video form the onboard microphone? and is the audio any good?

Thanks in advance if you can help!

[Damavannd021]

amazing

[dtunzzlistener]

Incredible picture, another world like compared to the S5 I've used. Thanks for the show. These sorts of images are motivating me to retire my 35mm SLR Elan II. Pretty sure I'll be able to use the lenses, though not IS versions.

[experimentalSounds]

What's the cracking sounds in the final seconds? You moving the aperture?

[MikeMayhem1234]

You can't move the aperture. You can adjust it, but I highly doubt in mid-video. Wait on second thought you probly could..

[xxjadedprincessxx]

this is great.. good thing i have one. i should give the hd a try. ;]

[a1mint]

If only the fps would make sense. I mean, 20 fps? WTF !

[leonss102]

yeah i agree.should be 30fps.

[a1mint]

I'd prefer 60 fps, much smoother. But if it's otherwise *really* good, I *might* settle for 30.

[cattomjak]

unless you are recording sports 30 fps is great. But if you are recording fast paced action such as sports then i highly recommend 60 fps.

[a1mint]

There is a lot more than just sports. Anything with panning or large objects moving by, like cars or a child running by.

If you're using a tripod and recording just a talking person, then fine, 30 fps is adequate. For anything moving, 60 fps looks a *LOT* better.

[cattomjak]

Yea i know, I was just using sports as an example because they are always fast paced. But anything that has things moving around fast, you should use 60 fps. Do you know of a program that splits frames in half, and if Sony Vegas Pro does it do you know how. That would be helpful.

[a1mint]

What do you mean with "splitting frames in half"?

60 fps video is more often than not interlaced. Each frame has two fields. So we have 60 fields per second.

It's hard, but possible, with special high quality de-interlacers, to convert each field into a deinterlaced frame - *without* losing vertical resolution.

It gets complicated. *Many* de-interlacers will only deinterlace 60i to 30p. But 60i -> 60p *is* possible.

I'm on Linux so I can't speak for Windows software that will do this...

[cattomjak]

I actually think I just converted 1080i to 1080p on Sony Vegas. Increasing the Frame rate from 30 to 60 on the Render as will increase the FPS by 2x. Along with improving video quality and doubling the file size. Decreased video lag. Only problem is though is that the Audio will not match up with the video anymore. And why do you use a Linux just curious.

[a1mint]

You might be repeating frames...

1080i likely means 60i.

After conversion, play back frame by frame. You'll see if any frames were repeated...

As for Linux, it's actually quite good.

Video editing sucks on Linux, mostly.

However, there is mplayer and mencoder, the grand master overlord of video players and converters. Many Windows based converters and players are using that code....

[ppperec]

It's obvious

[MikeMayhem1234]

It has 30fps, but that's for 720p, and the difference between 1080/720p is none. There's literally no difference in the quality of the picture that it produces. There's just more pixels on the screen.

[leonss102]

thanks for the repsonse.

[leonss102]

response

[uwontprevail]

20fps at 1080p, 30fps at 720p. Good enough for a dslr.

[a1mint]

Not good enough to replace my HF100 @60i, which converts to 60p fairly decently.

[Liezje321]

I have this camera :D

[regmiarpan]

hi nice vdo..what is the lense that you used>?

[fqxd]

@0.56 omg nice

[kiiken]

what lens did you use?

[soodime]

looks like i need to save up. :]

[MissSugarPiggy]

WOW! amazingg video cam!

[rinitytay]

Looks and sounds amazing. Sold for me. Thank you!

[majin69]

haha nice i have one of this, theres a trick for 500d to get high aperature (through out shooting) for movie shooting. Look up google "how to trick 500d" something like that, it works.

just hope that in the future they'll release a firmware for more 'manual' settings for movie shooting though.

[prodesign3r]

what lens did you use ?

[Nikk0Suave]

Amazing it's going to be mine in exactly 31 days! =D

[PeterV89]

Been 31 days! How do you like it?

[Nikk0Suave]

Well due to check processing. Ugh... I am getting it November 5th. Instead of October 5th. So only like 16 days away. Lol.

[JeviG12]

Against the facts there are no arguments, the results speak for themselves. T1 is the best. Just put a better lens than the kit and will be ready for any situation.

[caileydawnosaur]

So this is the Rebel t1i?? I'm thinking about getting it. I wonder how great it is compared to the Nikon d5000

[Quintinlicious]

the d5000 seems to bounce when you shake

[pedro199123]

did you use auto focus?

[fgc347]

I guess he used the auto focus with a USM lens, with the kit lens the AF is very noisy. I have my 500D since last week and i'm very overall pleased with the quality, either pictures or movies (using the manual focus then)....will buy a 2nd lens with USM soon....

[mvadinan540]

Lol I just went out and bought a Canon Rebel T1i I can not seem to figure out how to use the video recording mode.. I guess I need a "Digital Photography for dummies book" lol

[Donutlover712]

Thats great quality, especially the sound, like when you were zoomed in on the flowers, and you could hear that tiny little bug! Amazing!

[SingSoorma]

nice sound...

[chairday]

I want this camera!!!

[mrsnoop]

Can you tell me what kind of SD card you use?? I have this camera but wheather I record in 1080 or 720 the videos seem jumpy. Thanks!

[InsideLosAngeles]

You most like need an SDHC card.

[GuamUnplugged]

i like the last clip where u moved the focal lengthed and panned. nice.

[MartinZahuta]

indeed, it was really nice. but he didnt move the focal lenght, it stayed the same for the entire shot. The only thing that was changing was the focus distance.

[GuamUnplugged]

zooming smoothly becomes an issue with dSLRs with video.

Its noisy and shaky and the auto focus is a little trouble some. manually focusing could cause more shake.

its not impossible, but i guess thats not what he was going for.

watch some pro shows and movies though its all set focal lengths just cut from angle to angle scene to scene.

usually isn't too much zooming.

[28tomato]

石神井公園!!なつかし～

[lunna7]

Canon Rulez!!!

[tudajfor]

both the video and the sound are amazing if u ask me

Great video quality!!!!

[ryoberlin]

Wirkt ein wenig Unscharf an manchen stellen (nicht Makro) evtl. wegen Focussierung oder YT Kompression? Vermisse ansonsten noch Nachtaufnahmen und im Schlechten Licht indoor :D

[PatagonianWarrior]

die kamera macht absolut KNACKscharfe videos, wenn du richtig Fokussierst. Da kommt kein Camcorder unter 2000 Euro in die nähe der EOS500D. Leider ist der Ton unter aller sau, aber naja, Canon will sich ja seine Camcordersparte nicht selbst abschiessen, verständlicherweise.

[ryoberlin]

Ach der Ton geht doch... glaub ich... hab noch nirgendwo ein Video gesehen wo Leute reden :(

Aber klingt besser als bei meinem Nokia Handy scheint mir und besser als beim Samsung Omnia HD auch besser als bei der billigen Medion HD Cam

[FlySpades11]

Can you pleasse shoot something in high speed this will definatly determine if i get it or not please!

[spadastunter]

@ 720u can. stuff comes up great.

1080. not so much. If its going over say 130kph, it will be a tad blurred unless u follow it with the camera

[khumiz]

kono kamera to Nikon D90 dochi no hoo ga ii desu ka?

[idro2k]

Compliments on the FANTASTIC vieo, it looks so professional! Can I ask what lens you used?

[spadastunter]

thatd be the stock 55mm lense id say. most tests are dont in stock gear

[camadai]

what lens are you using on this video? it is IS activated? it is auto mode of video ?

[SDG977]

とても美しくとれてます、もしかしてKiss X3

で撮れた動画なの？

[noslen1968]

I wonder how its video compares to a dedicated video camera like a Sony Handycam HD - i don't expect it to be as good, but maybe the lenses and that big sensor actually make it better???

[spadastunter]

Its better. hands down. the 500d records better then most DVD HD cams.

[RyanatorML2000]

How did you change the focus (such as during :25 to :29) without making any noise?

[CameraHelper]

you use manual focus

[leonss102]

im buying it.lol

[Xezatt]

The DoF is incredible!

[r6racer]

very very nice. just purchased my T1i this evening :)

was the movie shot on 1080P or 720p? and was it recorded as .MOV or H264 ACHD?

thank you in advance.

[willscooper]

god i cant wait for this camera... the video quality is unbelievable

[treehuger501]

wow, what amazing video quality!!! i want this camera so bad!!!

does anyone have anay advice on the nikon d5000 vs. canon t1i???

any feedback will be much appreciated :)

[number7redking]

The Rebel T1i is $150US cheaper, and the Canon records in FULL HD 1080P (@20fps) and i heard the focusing is faster on the canon as well - which is an important feature of course.

And live view is excellent except for the Nikon the screen is more maneuverable.

[blztank]

Can this camera shoot in black and white?Does it have a mode for it?

[jebusIG]

Most probably.

[GuamUnplugged]

post edit it to BW. idk about native bw.

[theespankee]

what software was this edited with.?

[emforty2]

how long does the battery last in video mode ?

and the maximum length of video clip segment ?

[bizzybearfigiblue]

same question... also can you plug it into power and not have to worry about the battery dieing?

[Beatbot]

Yes.

[tinkernator]

wow,this is really amazing! Im starting to think about getting a D90 so I shoot video through all my expensive Nikon lenses.

[PatagonianWarrior]

D90 has some negative aspects regarding videos in comparison with the Canon.

Canon makes videos up to 30 mins at once, while the D90 ony max 5 mins. Canon has autofocus (even its loud on the kit), D90 doesnÄt have AF at all. Canon offers 30fps @ 1270, while Nikon only offers 24fps. Canon even has a good "Full HD" option for filming slowly moving objectives, while Nikon does not offer "Full HD" at all. Just sound is a biiiiit better on the Nikon, but don't think that this is a killer neither.

[midoladido]

Can you do optical zoom while recording?

Can it do auto focus while recording?

Is yes yes, it would be my optimal camera

Would u upload the original videos somewhere, Thanks

[realdimension]

Zoom - yes, manually on the lens - auto focus ; nope, you need to focus manually.

[midoladido]

thanks for your fast reply :)

[Brucey69]

No, you can auto focus while filming.

[Yosimedia]

yes you can auto focus by selecting the AF mode on the lens and pressing the star button but MF is better as you get less noise as the mic is built into the camera.

[thepeopleshero]

the flower shot at 1:23 is amazing

[xep5k]

Great shots, use a tripod and they will be even better!

[Madamluna]

Wow, this is beautiful.

[bloodshot23]

Wicked video... can't wait until I order my T1i (500D)! :-D

[bhchan73]

which lens are you using for this?

[midoladido]

same question!! which lens, is it the default packed lens, EF-S 18-55 IS??

[jetdaisuke]

EF-S18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS

[midoladido]

thanks for the reply :)

but goes the F3.5 give u narrow DOF, which makes the videos really WOOW to watch?

[jetdaisuke]

EF-S18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS
