Wow, that 5D Mkll with the 17-40 F4L makes for some great video! How difficult was it to keep in focus while shooting and talking to him?

Congrats, Robert. Video was freaking awesome.

You would think at this rate that stand-alone video cameras are going to be a rare species sooner than later.

Before everyone runs off and buys one, read Robert's post. This video is wonderful - but focusing remains a challenge for DSLRs - and most people. You almost have to treat their use like a cinema-photographer sets up and films a movie - measuring out your shots, etc. I've been shooting a bunch of 720p with the Kodak Zi8 and am have better success than when I use my Nikon D90.

Just beginning to think about video camera options. This vid definitely pushes me in a specific direction. Thanks RS!

Amazing video, Robert! I'm not a Canon guy, but this could change my mind.

Was great to meet you today.

Was this video shot with the Canon 17-40 f/4L lens? The depth of field is awesome!

[Scobleizer]

@eugenephotoblog yup, I'm using the 17-40 F4L lens here at about 17 mm.

What f-stop?

@Nzbuu I'm pretty sure it was at 4.0, but not sure, sorry.
