canon 500d 720 HQ film test 30mm (+dp2)

I went to the camera shop yesterday and found the Canon 500D on a table, I just had to see how well it could do filming. I also attached a Sigma 30mm lens (later in the movie) and then I had to film my own little baby - the Sigma DP2.

@rytterfalk as Soon as you went outside, all of the cool Depth of Field was gone :\ all looked sharp...like a pocket camera.. :'\ will it always be like that outside shooting?

[rytterfalk]

@eladbari That's because of the small aperture needed to shield that strong outdoor light. What you can do, is to add a dark ND filter infront of the lens and woala you will get the same cozy shallow dof feel outdoors as well..

I'm seriously in love with Canon 500d. I'm not even kidding.

Looks like you could professionally film a TV show with one of these.

@rytterfalk cool tip I shouldve known about ND filters, thanx :]

I guess even with these little things-they can get pretty expensive...huh? different qualities, and different stages of ND filtering. How many filters\level of filters do you think you will need-to cover yourself from extreme light situations?

And what kind of lens are ND filters mostly used on? wide angle lenses?

@mab1ro i bought my CAMERA FOR $600. It came with a 18-55mm kit lens. there is a newer version of this model out that has an improved shooting mode. but it goes for around $900.
