    As posted on twitter: Damn, that's a nice, clean image. I own a 35 adapter, and yeah... I can see the difference. Fun to shoot?
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    Its definitely fun but also a bit difficult to get used to. I'm still learning how to use it!
  • Christopher Ruffell plus 8 months ago
    You're an experienced shooter; difficult how?
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    - To shoot video requires pushing 3 buttons
    - Holding the camera is awkward
    - The screen is quite so small so its hard to tell if you're in focus
    - The screen doesn't tilt so its difficult to do certain shots
    - There is no image stabilization
    - The audio is terrible - though there are workarounds so you can plug in XLR mics etc

    Though after saying all that...I'm loving this camera. Love the shallow DOF. LOVE the low-light capability. Amazing!
  • Christopher Ruffell plus 8 months ago
    3 buttons? I hope Canon releases a 24P firmware update at some point. As you suggest, it's worth it - that sensor is HUGE!
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    Ya, its kinda strange. You push the live view button. Then push the auto focus button. Then hit the "set" button which starts recording.

    I have to remember what a camera shop guy told me: "Hey you do know... that this is a still camera that happens to shoot video"
  • Christopher Ruffell plus 8 months ago
    That's a grounded quote if I've ever heard one, however as we know, it's a pretty stellar video tool. ;) In the right hands, 5D's have been known to perform! You should show them this video. Do you think you'll use it for production work? The image certainly looks like it stands up great at 720P.

    Thanks Jon!

  • Ian McLeod 8 months ago
    Wow, the image quality is impressive
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    Yesssssir! Now if I can just figure out how to use it...

  • Hasan Ismail 8 months ago
    The fact that you're shooting video 'covertly' actually gets people in their 'picturesque' best thru the DSLR lens. Nicely edited with the drum sync! Gotta love it.

    I'll be murdering myself if I say I want the MKII already......
    ...... oh pluuueizze santa i'll be good for 2009!! (c:

    Nice. Is the footage shot with "auto" shutter/aperture?
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    Yup...auto shutter/aperture...still learning!

  • Sebastian Lange plus 8 months ago
    really cool - I have an SGpro 35mm adapter mounted
    on a HV30, but when I see this stuff I want to sell the whole thing and buy a 5D MKII - damn!

    Thanks Sebastian!

    Nice video Jon.. Especially the edits. What lens were you using?
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    Thanks Glenn! I was using a 28-135 mm EF lens.

    Hi Jon thanks for sharing this with me.
    This looks like an awesome camera, but a pain to work with.

    I'm thinking about getting a new camera. I have a Sanyo HD1a. I know there is a new Sanyo HD camera with 9mp pictures as well.

    I was wondering what cameras you think are good to buy? Or what does anyone else think of a nice HD video camera with good still picture ability and small enough to carry around?

    I like it Jon
    when did you get your Canon 5D mark ll ?
    I was thinking of getting one as well.
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    Thanks Anthony. I got the camera about a week ago.

    This is a good video. I like it! I like the serendipity of it.
    Maybe we should make it a project every sunday make a a CDO(Cinematography Day Out). It will be like the 52 weeks project on Flickr, but for DSLR cinematography. There is only one "problem" though . When you think as a "director" you miss out on good street photography opportunities. Did you take any pictures? Maybe it's a good thing...EVOLUTION.
    My 4 cents!
    xoxo
    You know you love me,
    Giorgio.
    PS, check out my Fischerspooner Video on my channel.It's also shot on the 5D and it's night!

    Hi John! wich computer you use to edit the MKII footage?
    Im waiting to adquire this camera and I need info about the edition requirements. THNKS!
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    I'm using a macbook pro with final cut pro.

    I convert all the files to XDCAM HD using mpeg streamclip then edit using a XDCAM HD sequence.

    Hello Jon,

    Nice Vidz....Mark II in the right hands always never ceases to amaze.

    The colors and sharpness is impressive, but only i note many bad effects about skew and wobble. Of course little people note it. I´m concern with you about use an photo cam and camcorder. In all case, to see an photo cam with this quality, frame rate, resolution and colors is impressive
  • Jon Rawlinson plus 8 months ago
    Thanks Italo Valerio

    nice talent with choosing audio for your visuals...
    especially loved the black bird on the branch by the river, the house fly so clear on the green leaves, view over the shoulder of the woman eating lunch...
    nice to see through your eyes for a moment...like listening to a story...
