Unimatic in HD - first pass with the T2i

(Post posting: Well, it appears YT didn't process the garbage from iMovie as HD, which doesn't surprise me considering the copy is iMovie '08. Next step: FCP or FCE).

Picked up the Canon T2i on Friday and shot some photos and film this afternoon.

First pass at photos - great shooting camera. Huge change from the used and beaten Canon Power Shot, as well as from an old school film SLR, the Pentax ME Super. Looking forward to a range of new lenses in the next few months.

First pass at Film: this is a glimpse of what it can do with the stock lens, shaky camera work, poor lighting, and novice experience at best. Overall, not bad for a first try! I love the 24p with the Unimatic. While you don't get to see the harsh brutality of the 1140 RPM, the overall presence that is captured at 24p is almost cinema-esque, or relaxing in a funny sort of way. I need to remember to keep the lens clean after each shot :D

Shot at 1920/24p with the crappy kit Canon 18-55 lens (how I miss a prime!).

As a first try, it can only get better from here.

So can the FPS be improved while keeping the quality?

@genmac1 It really depends on what you are going for. I'm still experimenting with different FSPs while filming washers. I may post a video comparing the different choices to show what options are out there as I started to play with it at the end of shooting for this short test.

Can't wait to get my t2i!!! This camera is so worth the price! compare to the 50D and the 7D. I did a lot of research on 3 of these cameras and I came down to two, the 7D or the t2i. At first, I wanted the 7D, but then I was thinking, is it worth spending $1800 dollars as for my first DSLR, the great features of dual digic 4 processors, and faster shutter speed? no but the t2i has the same features just not dual digic 4 processors and a faster shutter speed. That's why they call this a baby 7D.

A pumping action how nice. A washer like this now would be a comedians delight.
