  • 21 Megapixels VS 12 Megapixels Off Course !!!!!!!!.......

  • 5D MK II does not use all the pixels in video mode. It simply drops pixels. That's why 5D MK II suffers seriously from aliasing/moire/false color.

  • Using DOF adapter is definitely a good idea to get the film like effect. In fact, 5D2/7D does have obvious aliasing issue when there is any high frequency pattern. Such problem seldom occur in prosumer grade or better DV/DOF adapter combo.

    Autofocus of 5D2/7D can be quite effective before you start recording. However, if you are going to shoot some family video, better forget 5D2/7D and get a handy camcorder like XR500/520. You'll run into problem when you try to chase kids with 5D2/7D.

  • Sony looks amazing! Thanks for posting!

  • the depth of field of the 5D2 is much shallower, it looks like the butterfly wasn't in perfect focus.

  • In this video the 5d has the better color.

  • @hkgbear yep

  • could it be that you increse the contrast for the 5d m2? my m2 never makes such mush hart contrast

  • @tbarabash i think its Koda-Agfar 25...very fine grain...!!!!

  • @tbarabash does anyone know where i can process my film ...shot on my 5dmk2..i only have two rolls left..??? please help???

  • I wonder how the D2 is going to stack up to the Sony NEX-VG10 once it comes out. A consumer level camcorder (as much as a $2000 camcorder is in the consumer range) with a ACS-C sized Sony Exmor sensor, which is the same sensor tech as on the XR500, just a LOT larger, and exchangeable lenses with the possibility to use Sony A-Mount lenses, and AF. Even better, the NEX-3 and -5's use the same sensor and lens mount.

    Sadly Sony STILL limit us to 1080i :(

  • 5D M 2 was designed for the Photo Journalists in mind. Everyone is pushing the limits with this camera. It is pretty amazing. Movies and HBO series have been shot with the Mark II. Focusing is an issue in Video mode. It was never intended to be some of the things people are using if for which goes to show its ability to handle a multitude of different situations. I am using it for underwater photography. Much of the clarity in the above video can be handled correctly with the correct lens.

  • comsege have this image as clean as that program uses to edit the video. await response

  • I bought my SONY XR-500 since last winter. See all my videos shoot by XR-500 at youtube.com/user/asiatrend
