Canon 7d V.s. 5d mark II Same lens Same settings Round 2 1080p

http://www.dslrfilmnoob.com
After Many requests I've decided to revisit the canon 7d v.s. 5d video.

Changes made include, Camera placement (side by side this time instead of top and bottom), Focal length of lenses set to different settings in order to make the camera's appear the same equivalent focal length, shots are now pinned down not rotating, and of course I've removed the music(because some people complained).

Lens on both cameras: Canon 16-35mm f2.8 L
7d set at 16mm
5d mark II set at 26mm
Default image mode with auto white balance.

The Canon 7d was on the Right side of the rig and the 5d mark II is on the left. Which camera do you like better?

Thanks for the Video! I have the 7D and thinking about buying this lens "16-35" or 24-70mm. What would be best for my budget?

@skyh2k the canon 16-35 probably covers a better focal range for the 7d IMHO. The canon 24-70 is nice but it's also huge and if your going to be shooting in smaller spaces (indoors) the zoom length isn't as useful.

I was really torn between the 5D and the 7D, mainly over the outdated 9-point auto focus of the 5D but after watching these videos, its obvious the 5D is the clear winner with video. Even at the disadvantage of shooting at a less than ideal zoom level, the 5D still kicks ass. I guess that's why movie producers prefer the 5D over the 7D. Great video, thanks for posting it!

@PaulPradaShow Once you get used to the very nice auto focus system on the 7d, the 5d's AF system feels lacking. But in video mode the 5d mark II still beats the 7d by a fare margin. I'm hoping the 5d mark III is just a 7d with a full frame sensor, no line skipping, and audio level meters. That would be enough for me to upgrade. But canon will probably do something stupid like release a 4 1/2d with one feature that no other camera has, but nothing you actually wanted.

I think even the chi hua hua NEX 5 's at 1080p video quality can beat the video quality of the 5D that you produced here in your show. But in real life it will be never.

@PaulPradaShow My 5D II always shot on the "soft" side. Got real tired of that real fast. Sold it and went with a 7D. Shame they put such a crappy focus system into an otherwise great camera. 7D is working way better for me.

the model dude is funny :)

What has the shutter speed got to do with shooting video?

[jegheterx]

Using a Canon 40D at the moment, and really ready for an upgrade.

My brother was wondering which one would suit best for video recording. I'm pretty sure its the 5D(How is the DoF on it compared to 7D?) besides I know 5Dmkii is an excellent camera for photography as well. lenses available for us is 24-70 F2.8L and 17-40 F4.0L

fake video 5d is the beststop

the AWB is a bit off especially with the higher iso. pay attention to the light coming in the window hitting the ceiling. 7d looks much warmer and the 5d is greenish. if you manual WB it the green color shirt on the 7d would pops out a bit more.

[iVidify]

Idk what's going on here cause the 7D looks really bad and blurry compared to the 5D in this video. I know the 5D is great at video but it cant be this big of a difference.

@Ghostrider03Z The auto focus does not work in video mode but you can manually control that.

[Ghostrider03Z]

Im very new to these kinds of cameras. Does the autofocus work in video mode? Does the bigger mm lens give you more zoom? Im thinking of getting this for my first "dslr" camera and just want to know because ill be making lots of videos and need zoom.
