Canon 550D Test 2 - Ferret Chasing - Manual Focus - 720P 50FPS

is it hard to manually focus on a moving subject??? cause I'm buying a canon 550d and I do quite a lot of sports like skating and i want something that I can easily film without much hassle on auto focus or manual focus.

@taxiguy123456 I think it depends on the lens you have and what you're going to do with the video. The standard lens and my lens create a lot of noise when they're set to Auto Focus (with the standard lens). I'm looking at getting a proper microphone to mount on the top so I'll let you know if that makes any difference. Manual focus you have the sound of your hands hitting the lens. It is hard to begin with but once you get used to it it's fine.

so cute, but why does it have a hunchback?

@razattack1337 It's my girlfriends ferret and she's had it for about 2 years now but we have to keep it at her Dad's up country. Not sure if she's always had her back like that but when she goes through her tunnel she doesn't seem to have any problems. She gets under the sofa's more than easily enough.
