Thanks for the feedback and support.
What really strikes me is that you can't see anything from the ground. I had no idea what the piece looked like until we were aerial! Jim is good at what he does.

.. small enough to fit a workable rig into your backpack.
.. exceptional video quality in most conditions. (the heat on this shoot did degrade the quality, however)
.. full frame sensor with a range of excellent 35mm lenses.
.. simply amazing as a still camera.
.. priced at a fraction of HD cameras of similar video quality.
cons-
.. at the time, the camera didn't provide for manual control of aperture or exposure. huge pain for 'on the fly' shooting. Canon has added these features since.
.. smooth live focusing and zooming usually require special attachments.
.. difficult to stabilize because of its weight&form.
.. some time warping at certain shutter speeds.
.. poor audio support.
.. somewhat lossy compression, rarely visible, but annoying.
etc.
with practice, I've been achieving much better results. highly recommended whether you shoot still, video, or better yet, both.

When you say "some time warping at certain shutter speeds.",
what exactly do you mean?
Thanks

I found that some of the footage, specifically higher shutter speed shots, had some time distortion in playback. the pace of Jim's walk would be just a little too fast, just barely noticeable. probably due to a shutter speed that wasn't divisible by 30fps.
Which lenses used? Did you need/use lens IS?
three Canon lenses are used in this video:
24-105mm f4L IS
TS-E f3.5L
28-80mm f2.8L
the ground shots were done with the 24-105mm, with the IS on. while it did help (very windy out there), it had a somewhat jerky effect, especially on pans.
in flight, I used a Kenlabs Gyro, a K-6 I believe, with moderate success.
some manner of stabilization is certainly important with this camera, the small form factor and weight make it prone to the shakes.
nope, all of the clips are at 100%.
the scale of landscape provided the illusion of time warping... I thought I was in slow-mo playback when first reviewing the video, still half-heat stroked.
keep up the good work on your blog!
Could you please provide the credits for the song used in this video?
Thank you.
