Super-duper Cameras: Canon 5D Mark II
Now here is an interesting thing; a Stills camera shooting movie – good HD movie – wow. And, no – not like the movie feature on some point and shooters. In terms of taking pictures – still pictures – this is a damn good camera. But it’s ability to film video was a game breaker. ha ha ha – film video.
I have not had the pleasure of using this camera – for stills or video, but I did edit a short spoof that was shot with this camera. What I loved about the footage was the shorter depth of field that I am used to and the richer colors. What I did not enjoy too much was the encoding used – I seemed to struggle with filters even after converting to ProRes, hmmm.
$2,699.00
Nice price, but if you want to get good stuff from this baby you need a really good lens.
