What was the roll out flash card holder? I liked that. Anybody know the brand? Thanks!

ThinkTank Photo. They make a whole bunch of  well designed photo goods.

the video will work without those annoying flashing texts.

It was never intended to used as dedicated video camera, Canon had no idea that this camera would appeal so strongly to professional filmmakers. You will never get this image quality from a dedicated video camera, with those lens choices and matte box rail mounts, at that price.

A lot of people are using it for those reasons.

To all the retards saying "why dont you just buy a video camera, durrrr." I'll just say theres a reason he's a professional and your an amateur.

@scratchnsurf , I caught that as well, yes, CF card is what it uses.

One area he missed, batteries. I use a battery pack grip when doing video, because even with a large video card you will run out of battery way too quickly with out the battery grip or an external power source. I have numberous batteries and chargers for charging from 12 VDC. I may very soon be using a larger external battery and external power jack.

@scandlous08, yeah, right. ROFL Just depends on what you are shooting. If you are panning quick, then yes, video cam. Otherwise the DSLR is a great video cam.

cf cards you mean?
