Canon 550D / Rebel T2i / First tests with ISO of 800-1600 / UK

Canon 550D / Rebel T2i first tests with ISO of 800-1600.
Lens 24-105L shot wide open at f4./ Neutral Picture Profile

Rainy day again in the South of England, picked up my 550D from Park Cameras in Burgess hill. Put the Canon standard L zoom on, popped in a 4GB card (all I had, forgot it doesn't take CF cards). Battery only half charged in the car, grabbed a standard photo tripod and a umbrella and filmed for 40 mins in the poring rain, WB set on Auto, couldn't turn it off in the rain. Filmed in 1920x1080 25p and at the end crop mode for a few seconds & kept in native resolution (black bars all around).

All footage filmed at 800 or 1600 ISO. Lens UV guard causing a few internal reflections.

Very light camera and a pleasure to use. I look forward to using tomorrow in the daylight & with faster lenses.

could you share the detailed settings u used in this sample? cuz i shot a small tvc with 550D and it wasnt anything near as the cinema like color tone or feel of this film. my thing rather looked like DV type. can you tell me how you achieved this result pls?

@ButtFiXx Hi simple colour graded FCP 3 Way Color Corrector.

Also Camera picture profile set to 'Neutral' with sharpness all the way down and contrast and Sats down a couple of clicks. If you send me a few seconds of your tvc in original HD format I'll give you a preset to use. What are you cutting on Mac or PC? I use Mac, FCP as a rule.

Do a goggle for "Final Cut Pro 3 Way Colour Grading vimeo" to view.

Was wondering why my t2i never looks this good. Then I saw Lens=24-105L. Yep. That's why mine sucks in comparison. :)
