Today i decided to try out the new video feature on my new Canon 5D Mark II.
I must say shooting video on this camera is challenging for many reasons. But here is my first test.

which frame rate was used and what were the challenges
Thanks
As for challenges, well the biggest is getting proper focus. Outdoors in sunlight it is impossible.. or atleast for me. Trying to focus using the LCD in sun is tough. Also trying to use the fixed lcd for framing is hard if you want low shots or high stuff. Some of the shots i had to almost lay on the ground to see the LCD.
I wont go into much detail as all this stuff has been talked about millions times. I think the biggest let down was the soft focus.... it probably was my fault as i was having a hard time telling if the shots were in focus.
It would be awesome if Canon would release a fireware update what would allow you to shot 1 or 2 second frame rates for timelapse stuff.
You got nice footage there ...
