Dave, very informative. Thanks for taking the time to do this. I just bought my 5D and the smiles haven't gone down yet. Next, will be using it. lol

what lav mic did you use, and what transmitter etc?

Great video, some excellent advice. I'm looking to use the 5D to shoot indoors. Is there any particular lens you recommend?

Also can I just double check that this is the 5D and not the 5D MrkII? It's quite difficult to find video shot using the 5d, and canon themselves also told me the original 5d is not capable of shooting video.

Excellent. Very interesting. I've just started playing with movie on my 5D since the new PAL firmware release but have only got limited other "toys" to put on it!

Really interesting to see the range of lenses you used.
