Canon EOS 500D

Some clips from he EOS 500D. The movie mode was not my primary focus at first, but as I used the camera, I began to find it better than the D90 and 5D MkII. I returned it several days early to help Canon get it out to another reviewer before the bank holiday - otherwise, I would have shot one concert gig and some 'real' subjects.

Were the sounds of this video captured with the stock microphone of the camera, or were you using an external microphone?

[daviddkilpatrick]

@tk10 - the built-in mic. I used external mics later on. This is all with the onboard mic.

i dont understand why the quality is so poor in this video but so much better on others, also using a canon 500D... watch?v=EkHt13euYMQ&feature=re­lated

???!! any ideas!! ps nice singing!! :)x

[daviddkilpatrick]

@MariluLane - are you viewing it at 720p? Remember, this was one of the first videos posted anywhere from the 500D, and was taken entirely hand-held with the 18-200mm on one day. Since then I've started to focus more on testing video functions, as further DSLRs have incorporated video.

@daviddkilpatrick ah i think you're right, it is ten times better on 480p even... although i was able to watch that other video on 360p with crystal clear quality... although i do think my browser can't generally handle 480p and above, a few 500D videos stop every few seconds at higher p rate... hmmm all v curious ;) hehe

and may i ask why you chose that lens? were u supplied with the standard 18-55mm? :)

[daviddkilpatrick]

@MariluLane - this was a loan review camera for a magazine report. Canon supplied it with the 18-200mm. This is not a very good lens, and the newer (non-USM) 18-135mm has a better type of stabilisation for video.
