  • nice guitar player !

  • this dude can play the guitar like its no ones business! lol

  • this is random but i like the style of the room.. a lot

  • i never new kramer could play guitar, but sweet vid

  • The whole point of the test was to move through the field of focus to demonstrate DOF and bokeh. I can't think of one professional videographer that would want autofocus, why would you want it???

  • @bobgilles totally agree and awesome ROCK too. :)

  • @bobgilles Because their too lazy and wouldnt even want to be creative about their videos or possibly not even give a damn about their customers or even for their own satisfaction. if you know what i mean. thats just what i think.

  • @bobgilles you are so right!!! since i bought the 500D i never ever want an autofocus again. Correcting the focus by myself is the best thing!! I love the way Movie look like, when they are shot with a dslr!

  • Comment removed

  • @Pinnger You are an fn dummy, DUMMY!

  • Haha you're so in focus that it looks like you were keyed and placed on a different plate. I heard there is a rule to not go above shutter 1/50th on video? I just got my 7D yesterday and i love it.

  • I think you are right, 99% of everything I shoot is 24p with 1/50 shutter and 60P with 1/120 shutter for slo mo

  • I have a 7D myself and to be honest, the thing about "if it had less mp blah blah blah" is pretty true.

    18mp on an APS-C sensor is really pushing it and does produce a noisy image when viewed on screen at 100% scale, but in the real world where the images are printed or scaled down this extra noise isn't visible and the extra resolution you gain from the 18mp allows for more scope to crop/recompose shots.

    All in all, a very nice camera.

  • The new 1Ds MK4 is rumored to have a full frame 32MP and a higher data rate, now that one is worth waiting for!

  • Yeh it does sound very impressive.

    Need some impressive lenses though to make use of it. I suspect a sensor like that would outresolve almost every lens on the market.

  • Its still a crop sensor

  • With the 7D, you get 35mm movie-camera field of view and depth of field. The 7D's sensor is almost exactly the same size as a 35mm movie camera. So you'll get the same perspective, the same depth of field, the same "feel" as 35mm movies. The 5D doesn't give that, it's too shallow (as compared to movies). The 7D replicates the DOF characteristics of a motion-picture camera perfectly.

  • Um... the 5D is the exact same size as 35mm film, shouldn't that make the depth of field equal?

    I've actually heard tha the 7D lacks in DOF compared to 5D, which should be standard since the 5D is a full frame sensore.

    Only reason I don't want the 5D is the rolling shutter is worse than the 7D, plus, the 7D has a higher data rate.

  • Have you tried a Beachteck as an external audio solution? I need good sound & w/ Les Pauls I'm sure u do too.

    I'd be attaching a steadycam, but I've heard its so small its difficlut to handle - have u tried it? Also, the focus & timecode I hear are issues.

    I've read lots of good things, but for video these thingsworry me. For the price & lens change options though, wow. Thanks for ur comments

  • I use the Fostex FR2 now, I am going with double system sound.

  • This famousphotog is just another random guy like the wigget fellow that talk shit about the 7D. famousphotog does not even have a link to his work and it seems he just opened a youtube account just in time when the 7D is out and available, just to bash it. All his comments are trash talk since he provides no reference of what he talks about. Nikon is desperate to pay people like this to divulge this kind of info. Shameful.

  • Maybe he is working for Red Cinema, they are bashing the 7D nonstop, obviously the Canon HDSLR's are a threat to their $28,000 cameras!

  • I tried that, it needs to be cranked up so high that it messes up the image too much, I usually just do it to the small areas of a scene that have the offending patterns.

  • BEFORE purchasing this camera, or dreaming about this camera, please do yourself a favor and google darwin wiggett 7d. Read the detailed review and the comments.

    Sadly, this potentially great camera was ruined by the marketing muppeteers at Canon who elected to cram too many megapixels on the small APS-C sensor, thus compromising the purity of the sensel signal.

    If the 7D would have launched as a 10mp camera, the 7D would have been incredible. So close, yet so far.

    Why Canon, why?

  • Why would 10mp be better than 18mp?

  • If 10mp were on the APS-C sensor instead of 18mp, the individual photosites would be significantly larger thus resulting in a purer analog/digital signal. There would be better dynamic range, and even better low light performance for photographers and videographers alike.

  • I wonder what the next generation of VDSLRs will have to address the aliasing/moire issues?

  • darwin wigget is a random nobody canadian that is a nikon user and a poor biased reviewer. Try reading popular photography magazine, January issue. The 7D and nikon d3x are finalist for camera of the year. The 7D in their test beat the d300s down to the ground in every aspect, even high ISO.

  • SONY,Panasonic and JVC companys don't like videographers,they make HD camcorder for rich people.Why they don't make a 1/2 3CCD Shoulder Mount HD camcorder and record on a cheap media card around $6,000.00 dollars, but not, all that 6k to 8k camcorder come whit a stupid 1/3 3CCD chip. I make videos for living. This is one of the best HD video footage I see in Youtube and is NOT come from a camcorder but a DAMM photographer camera.

  • This camera has great potential as a steadicam star as it rides on the Pilot with my wireless focus and Modulus 2000. This much firepower is such a small package was a fantasy just 2 years ago!

  • Excellent communication here. Have been considering a 7D. So the AGC works pretty well eh? What about at an extremely high dbl level? I realize its the on-board mic, but im just curious if you can manually adjust the sound input level..

  • No, you can't really adjust the level manually, it handles high volumes very well though. I use a Fostex FR2 recorder that has time of day data and I sync the camera waveforms using the 7D's time of day meta data. It works great, at 1/5 the price of a timecode deck and they both use CF cards too! The camera audio is so good that I use it to sync my field deck and sometimes have used it as a safety

  • The shot looks very nice, but I noticed some interlacing artifacts at the beginning and end when the subject moves in proximity to the lens (at around 0:03 and 0:28).

    Is there any way of correcting this or are you stuck to try and prevent from having too much movement in proximity to the lens?

    Thanks!

  • I have to be super careful about vertical lines on couches or jackets when shooting people on jobs. I recently did a commercial shoot where background sofa gave off a vicious moire pattern during a jib shot, we fixed it in post by using the blur effect in Avid 4.0, we set the horizontal blur to 0 and the vertical to 90 with the motion tracker and it fixed the shot. .

  • Have you tried blur in just the Chroma channel?

  • 35mm 1.4 is a lense i woud love to get, but out of pocket at the moment, can you think of anything that would replace it almost as good?

  • The Canon 35mm f2.0 is the ultimate steadicam lens for the 5D, 7D and new Canon EOS 1D MK4. It is super light and tack sharp at around f4, I see those allot used on Craigslist for around $200. I am going to get one if I ever need put this on a Merlin or Figrig.

  • You shot in 24p right? Did you edit this in any software after? Also in 24p?

    Also the background looks like green screen, must be the DOF on the lens right.

    Great playing btw.

  • Yes, it is 24P, just did a one pass with Magic Bullet (Bistro) look. The L series 36mm t1.4 lens is killer, the bokeh is as good as you can get, I set the iris wide open of course.

  • is the audio from the 'on camera mic' ?

  • Yes it is, I just put the camera on the roadcase and hit record. I had the amp cranked up pretty loud to see if it would clip the camera, the AGC works incredibly well. As I come back towards the camera, you can hear my fingers on the strings, the camera mic is amazing!
