    The Nikon D90 still has a more filmy look to it than this does. Too bad it's replete with problems that make it almost unusable.
  • todd trowbridge 2 years ago
    You can't be serious. This is a PRE production teaser and you think you can compare this video to anything yet? You have no idea if it's been color graded or anything. We don't even know who was behind the camera or if they knew what they were doing. Please wait to reserve judgment until true professional samples come out.

  • Ethan 2 years ago
    I am serious. I understand exactly what we're looking at here and my impression still stands firm given that information.

    I look forward to seeing more from this camera, especially since Nikon clearly hasn't fully seen the light with their vDSLR's and Canon is wiping the floor with them right now.
  • JB 2 years ago
    Nikon video is incredibly rough, even on the D300s.
  • icanseemybreath 2 years ago
    I don't think anything is as bad as the d90.
  • GL2 2 years ago
    I've yet to see any DSLR video that looks as good as what Vincent Laforet produced with the 5D2. Check it out here if you've not seen it:

    usa.canon.com/dlc/controller?act=GetArticleAct&articleID=2326

    Also, the 5D2 has a better handle on skew than any of the Nikon video I've seen. I expect the 7D's video will be just as good as the 5D2's. As Todd pointed out, this 7D sample is from a pre-production model and has not been graded, so it's way too early to pass judgment.

    I wouldn't be dumping the 5D mkII just yet. It is afterall a fullframe DSLR! (shallower DOF, larger sensor = less noise and better low-light)
  • Jackson Miller 2 years ago
    Yes many of us are reluctant to let go of our mark ii's. I am waiting for more reviews etc. Though I think it is great how fast these features are coming. If it only had a swivel screen or HD out for a monitor I would go for it right away.

  • Caleb Stephens plus 2 years ago
    Incredible. Do you know when the to market date is yet?
  •  
  • The only pro of the 5D was the FF sensor. Said this 7D is out of competition. This image is like nikon 5000. No comprison whatsoever with GH1. Revise the firmware on the FF 5D to shoot 24 and 25 and you will have a winner. Not this. The size of the sensor makes it out of the question even because it still has a mirror. I am sorry I am out.
  • Eugenia Loli plus 2 years ago
    Sorry, but you are wrong. The 7D has the same frame size as 35mm cameras, so it's perfect for video. The GH1 doesn't hold water compared to the 7D. It has TERRIBLE 17mbps bitrate compression (the 7D has a WHOPPING 48 mbps), the 7D does more frame rates, and, it does not require pulldown removal for its 24p mode (GH1's does).

    So yeah, if you think that the GH1 is better, then you need a wake up call.
  • Jesse Huerell 2 years ago
    Sorry Eugenia, you are wrong. I attended the Collision Conference this past weekend. Where I got to see a lot of Canon and Panasonic on a big screen. All things considered, the GH1 looked way better than the 5D. I find it unlikely that Canon will make the video mode superior in a camera that is 1/2 the price of the 5D.
  • naraic 2 years ago
    also Eugenia, the 7D has an APS-C sensor, not even nearly 35mm, or full frame, therefore it's DOF or low light performance will be nowhere near as good as the 5Dmkii.
  • Ian C 2 years ago
    @Jesse, apparently whatever videos you watched didn't have much motion or panning. The GH1 sucks big time with it's nasty compression on anything other than static shots. I've watched scores of straight-from-the-camera footage. It doesn't hold a candle to mark ii footage in terms of per pixel quality. If you're talking about some sort of personal preference nuances, maybe. But in terms of sharpness and codec, there's just no competition.

    @Naraic, you've tried to correct two people on this. And you are straight up wrong. Read en.wikipedia.org/wiki/35_mm_film that link. Super 35, what most feature films are shot on, has a 24.89 mm by 18.67 mm sensor size. It is NOT the same as a stills 35mm sensor for photography. If you want the DOF achieved by most feature films, the 7D should work just fine if you have fast enough glass. I'm only concerned about cramming 18mp on that sensor. But dual digic 4 may help performance who knows.
  • Jesse Huerell 2 years ago
    Sorry Ian. You didn't see what I saw, you've been watching web videos shot with the stock lens. I saw no compression issues with the GH1 and manual lenses. Images were from a feature film with fast pans, tracking shots, underwater, steadicam. The GH1 just looks better on the big screen. With a smaller sensor and less pixels than the 5D, it's unlikely the 7D will cut it.
  • Ian C 2 years ago
    Wrong. I've seen videos with and without the stock lens. The GH1 is just not as clear. "Better" is a vague term. Maybe you think it looks "better". Some people think the D90 looks "good" because it's focus is soft and "filmic". I hate it personally cause I want as sharp an image as I can get upfront. I can make it soft later if I want.
  • Eugenia Loli plus 2 years ago
    Ian C, exactly. It seems that people are apologetic around here for having bought a GH1, or something. The point of the matter is, the GH1 bitrate is way too low, and the 7D sensor is almost the same as the motion 35mm, which is good enough. In other words, the 7D *kills every other camera* with its video features in that price range.
  • MIchel 2 years ago
    Eugenia, I experience the same over at dvxuser.com forum, all the guys who just recently bought a GH1 try to tell themselves it was the right choice and to find bad things about the 7d samples at canon.jp (which are very very promising indeed).
  • Echinadrome 2 years ago
    Sorry, you are wrong. I went to the PMA conference, and now I want both GH1 and the 7D.
  • Martti Ekstrand plus 2 years ago
    @Ian C: "The GH1 sucks big time with it's nasty compression on anything other than static shots. I've watched scores of straight-from-the-camera footage" Really? I think you've missed mine:

    vimeo.com/5966843

    Which by the way would be impossible to shoot with 7D with it's lack of continuous auto focus. Actually none of the films I have here on Vimeo except "Dark Heavens" would be possible to shoot with 5DmkII or 7D. I find their lack of viewfinder... disturbing.
  • Ian C 2 years ago
    @Martti, The video you linked appears to have been shot almost exclusively in 720p/60 mode (or 720/50 if it's PAL). That seems to be the common way to get around the sucky 1080p/24 codec for fast action. I want true 1080p capability. 720/60 is nice for slo-mo, but I need the option of good full 1080p video. Once you see 5d mark ii footage, where almost every frame would make a usable still photo, it's just hard to accept anything less than wonderful 1080p.

    Btw, none of what you shot would be "impossible" to shoot without autofocus. More difficult for a novice? Sure. But not impossible. A good monitor and focus puller will do just fine.

    Btw, I really wanted to like the GH1. I came really close to buying one. Then I watched as many straight-from-the-camera 1080p clips as I could get my hands on, on my 52" 1080p LCD TV. The mud was just unacceptable to me. If you're satisfied with a good 720p/60fps camera though, more power to you. If it's the tool that let's you do what you want, use it and love it.
  • Martti Ekstrand plus 2 years ago
    I do and I do. But your blankett statement making the GH1 sound totally unusable for fast action was a bit too much to leave alone. And on my footage I haven't seen much problems with mud even in 1080. Problem with watching 1080p 24 fps straight from the camera is that it's in a 60i wrapper and the mud gets severely excaberated from not having pulldown removed. Only way to really assess the quality is to transcode it while removing pulldown. Luckily I'm in PAL land and don't have to deal with that NTSC silliness. 5DmkII on the other hand is useless for me as re-timing bugs with fast overlapping motion looks way worse than any few occasions of mud.

    It would be impossible for me to shoot any of those films alone with a 7D. The ergonomics are just not there without a working viewfinder in video mode. Handheld? With a monitor on top. Forget about it. My back would kill me after 15 minutes.

    By the way I'm hardly a novice. 47 years old with 30+ years in the film business...

  • Gilles Space 2 years ago
    The sensor size is more comparable to 35mm for motion picture then the 5D and so is frame rate of course. So if you're looking for a digital camera that comes close to a 35mm film 'alternative'. This is almost as close as it's gonna get. Except of course for things like xlr input for audio or 4K resolustion, but for an enthousiastic amature or a filmschool student. This realy is just it!
    Count me in!
  • naraic 2 years ago
    but it doesn't have a 35mm sensor, it's a 22.3 x 14.9mm sensor, it is only about 40% of the size of full frame. so no where near as good low light performance or as shallow a DOF as the 5D would have. also means a crop factor of 1.6...
  • Asta 2 years ago
    The APS-C ist very near to a 35mm Motion picture frame size. There is a diffrence between 35mm motion picutre an 35mm still -frame size. First one runs verticaly through the camera, second horizontally.
  • DSLRcinema plus 2 years ago
    Asta is right. The actual size of motion picture film is 24.89 mm by 18.66 and the size of the 7D sensor is 22.3 x 14.9. So 35mm Film, the RED ONE sensor, and the 7D sensor are all very close in physical size. I think we will get a more film-like DOF with the 7D. Pay attention to the bokeh in movies...it's not crazy shallow like the 5D sensor provides. It's more subtle most of the time and only really shallow on close-ups.
  • Ian-T 2 years ago
    naraic, I don't think you understand. Full Frame sensors like the 5Dll is for stills. That's not the size sensor you see being used in Hollywood or professional movies (35mm Full Frame for photography vs 35mm for motion picture). The sensor size (1.6 crop factor) on this camera is almost EXACTLY the size of STANDARD 35mm "film" cameras...even the Red One. That's what folks are talking about.

    And in regards to low light ability it could possibly still end up being BETTER than the 5D Mark ll. The sensor size is not necessarily as inportant as the PIXEL size. If the pixels on this cam are bigger than Mark ll then that could possibly make it "equal" or even better in that category. It might take a small hit in resolution but not "necessarily" its low light ability. It's all too early to tell though.
  •  
  • Jesse Huerell 2 years ago
    If you download the full resolution qt file at dpreview and hit play, you can see that Canon still hasn't fixed the aliasing during video problem. It's such a major problem with the 5D I'm surprised they failed to address that.

  • Jacob Nielsen 2 years ago
    Eugenia, Asta and Gilles - You are so right ! If you want to simulate 35mm filmlook one of the things to replicate would be the sensor size, and APS-C is much closer to S35 than a FF sensor. For me 24x36 is simply too shallow - don't get it why people want as much DOF as possible - so hard to focus.
  • DSLRcinema plus 2 years ago
    Totally agree. I find myself stopping down to f8 when using my 85mm on my 5D. Too shallow.
  • MIchel 2 years ago
    too hard to focus and too exhausting to watch for narrative filming...totally agree as well.

  • Splicer 2 years ago
    how efficient is the Auto focus in video mode? This clip is more out of focus than in focus!
  • Martti Ekstrand plus 2 years ago
    It only takes a focus point before recording starts and then hold on to it unlike GH1 which has continuos auto focus during takes.

  • Semiconductor plus 2 years ago
    Why wont Canon just say if 24p/25p is possible on the 5D? Its still all just speculation right?

    Im sure they want me to buy a 5D over a 7D but I will get his if they dont tell me whether their going to sort out the firmware soon.
  •  
  • i donkt know,but i think this camera have something that mark ii dont. in video mode, and in photo, morenoise.
    have to wait, to know. I really dont think canon make a best dslr for less money, there some trick inside.
  • MIchel 2 years ago
    noise is to be less due to the new dual DIGIC-4 processors. 7d's ISO 6400 corresponds to 1200 ISO with older DIGIC III processor considering color and luminance noise, so it's a lot less.
    But 7d will not be better than full frame 5dII, at least not for photos.
  • Semiconductor plus 2 years ago
    in terms of capturing video it also has specific buttons to access the video settings quickly. So really this is stage 2 for dslr video.
  • this camera have more noise compared to mkii, even whit dual digic 4, and i dont know, maybe is the very high pixel density of this cropped sensor, make the lens need more resolution in lines per milimeter units, or the dinamic range, and even in the canon promo use tilt and shift lenses simulating the feeling of mkii, i tink i will stay whit the mark. Hope the release of firware to 24p.
  • The final image on Canon doesn´t come from cropping the sensor but by skipping lines from the full frame... The same line skipping on the 5D exist on the 7D. SO figure it out for yourself. Video resolution is 1920x1080 the FF is vistavision size. They have serious problemes with the image skewing in fast panning which is not fixable.
  • i meant cropped sensor size from FF, I said the native noise of an APSC sensor, and even of couse, line skipping, for the light give per pixel detail in a very little pixel like this camera ( pixel density 5.4 million per centimeter square.) , all lenses must be L lens whit 8 or more aperture, to give the optiman per pixel sarpness, even more, if you see the test in this link the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?FLI=0&API=0&Sample=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=4&LensComp=115&CameraComp=453&SampleComp=0&Lens=106
    very few lenses outresolve the 21 MP of FF mark in more open that 8. And in the 7d the snsor readout is horizontal, not vertical, so .. i think not shure.. not less, but less convenient for video jello effect for pan. Other hing.. i know said the bitrate of 7d is superior, but i see and analice some direct fles from the camera, and i dont know why but in sunny time look ( i think) worse than 5d. look: imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E7D/E7DVIDEO.HTM
  • You are right.7D is a cheaper version of the 5D. They tried to fix some things and brought new problems. Just by still having the mirror it´s enough for me not to get it. I always said abd keep saying that if they give me 25 fps on the 5D I will go out and get one. :-)

  • Sean Slobodan plus 2 years ago
    It's all about preference guys. With the firmware update for the markii coming out to fix framerate issues, and, again, the FF sensor, the markii is still a much better camera. The extra DOF you get with it can always be stopped down if you want, but the point is it gives you the choice. There's no rule that says you have to stop at the DOP that super 35 gives you.
  •  
  • emmagination plus 2 years ago
    I don't think Canon is releasing this camera to replace the 5DM2. It's a 'tweener' for those who want more than a T1i, but don't want to pay for a 5DM2.

    I'm holding out for a possible 5DM2 firmware update that will allow the same framerates as this 7D and maybe fix the AGC. I'm wondering if this mysterious 5DM2 firmware update was just being held off until this camera was released as to not affect sales?

    Just bought the GH1 and contemplating getting this cam although I just saw this:

    vimeo.com/6395733

    It looks pretty terrible all round, loads of ghosting and stutter. Looks to me like canon have just put together a d500 and suped it up. Hmmmm?
  •  
  • I would like to explain something to people that probably nobody understood specially Eugenia. I don´t know how people bought their cameras and why or with what knowledge. I made my decision following not only my artistical needs but looking at it from the TECHNICAL point of view. One of my degrees is telecomunications engineering and I can assure I am not stupid.:-)
    When I bought my GH1 I was not on a budget!!! I could have bought ANY camera I wanted. I work often with RED cam (that by the way has a lot of flaws) and I have at our company 17 broadcast cameras (not cheap). Nobody wohdered why people like me chose the GH1. So please stop trying to make us look stupid because there are SEVERE problems with both Canon 5D and 7D to even being considered to be bought for commercial use. You can say whatever you want but those cameras were not built to shoot video. The GH1 is the closest to that. I know that you Eugenia have great shots with the HV´s but that artistic gift you have doesn´t make you an expert in electronics. I know quite a bit of that and I´ve spoken to some of the best specialists in the world about this GH1... SO if you want to keep fooling yourself about the potential of the Canon DSLRS please go ahead... I have no doubt that Canon could make a camera that would surpass GH1 like any other manufacter would but the reality is that they didn´t and Canon didn´t design a camera to shoot video from scratch. So go on buy a 7D and be happy but don´t talk about what you don´t even know (the GH1). Many people spent months now working with it and you say what they saw and experienced is wrong??? Is like saying you didn´t like your dinner last night... We don´t even know what you had to eat. How many hours did you spend filming with GH1? How many people and engineers you discussed the electronics with? What´s your technical expertise regarding the GH1 and other DSLRS?
    I hope you people don´t take this on a personal level but I don´t like when people say things just by saying. It´s like rumours...I heard this and that and that but nobody knows who said it when or why.
    I rest my case please be happy and have a nice day.
  • Ian C 2 years ago
    Sad that you feel the need to prove yourself in the comments of a random online video.

    I don't care if you are the most brilliant communications engineer in the world. The GH1's codec is still AVCHD at 17mbps. Even if that didn't mean anything, it's still all about what the eye sees. All the tech spec drooling in the world doesn't mean squat in real world. So what do I see from real world footage? LOTS of mud in the 1080p/24fps footage with fast action and stock lens, slightly less when using a manual lens. Unacceptable. You can rant about how acceptable it is to you, but those who demand more clarity, for whatever reason, don't have to be satisfied with a low bitrate codec.

    Nobody ever said the Canon was perfect. Audio is still a pain (AGC, no monitoring) as well as rolling shutter and a couple other things (12 min limit). But strictly in terms of image quality (and probably also low light and other things) it is simply unmatched.

    Quit being so defensive about your GH1, if it works for you, you don't have to get you knickers in such a knot.
  • That´s your opinion not mine.
  • I am not proving myself only answering the blind comments about a camera. I would do the same if I had a Canon or a Sony and proved that it was great.

    Ian-T I am with you

    I am beginning to find this a little too much like little boys on the playground in terms of posturing...

    However I do realize creative artists are passionate people.

    Being involved in Engineering and having designed things I believe that each of these platforms will have inherent advantages and disadvantages (ie) compromises everything does.

    If the entire point of your discussions is to determine which platform by technical and observed specificatations represents " best value" for dollar on a given day ...WHY? The whole issue is so fleeting and transitory that in 3 months your comments will be moot anyway .

    It is only necessary to identify the group of top performers and make a choice.

    With that choice ,I also know there are lots of brilliant people that will create work-arounds to solve the short-comings of each platform anyway.


    We simply make a decision to purchase and use specifics platforms for our creative or business projects....No apologies necessary .. Just go out and do great work !

    Spend your creative energies on creating brilliant work on your chosen platform, than think how people will feel when they see your brilliant work you created on what they have branded an inferior platform.You will shine that much more!

    My 2 cents..
    Kudos to Canon for the 7d.. and the 5dmk2, and Kudos to Panasonic for the GH1!! These are all great cameras! Personally I have the 5Dmk2 not because if it's amazing chip/bitrate/gizmatics.. I really liked the image it is capable of.. I really.. really.. really was close to getting the GH1.. the price was better.. it had a better workflow.. and it also has cool gizmatics pllus a neat flip out LCD.. but I just really really liked the image from the 5Dmk2.. that was that.. I do wish the audio capabilities were better but it kinda sucks across the board on these DSLR's right now.. I'm crossing my fingers the fine folks at Canon or magic lantern or whoever comes out with a solid fix for this..
    The camera is a tool.. you learn to use the tool to the best of your abilities, and have fun creating films! If your tool is a HV30.. than learn to make that HV30 sing! same goes for these new DSLR's.. suss them out.. learn to make them sing.. and they will reward you with the magic moments in the edit bay that we all hope for! Canon, Panasoic, Sony etc.... it doesn't matter.. What's important is when you finish rendering that last effect.. bring the play head to the top.. and get those goosebumps when you hit play..
    It's about doing what we love.. making films. .

    This is a potentially very interesting camera.
    I have the 500D which has a GREAT deal of problems for filming. I also found problems with the 5D. The main problem I'm having is that the pictures are blurry in 1080.
    Please check my article and tell me what you think.
    I would love to hear more tests about the 5D compared to other video cameras.

    I'm going to test the 7D and compare it to 5D and hopefully a good video camcorder.

    My article with direct image comparisons between 5D, 500D and the cheap Canon HF200 can be found here (and yes the HF200 had the sharpest picture and costs close to nothing)

  • Hi Andreas:
    I read your blog and agree with the things you concluded. I had the same experiences. And you know even 500D shoots in 30 fps. After I did all the experimenting you did I got the GH1. Has auto focus, the interchangeable lenses, shoots in 50 and 25 fps, and it´s really straight forward editing. Thank you for showing your results.

    I would also like to make a comment. ALL the films we see from canon are in low resolution. But we need 1080 to see how it looks. It doesn't matter to me if its 3mbit and 700 resolution, I need 1080 for a few seconds with max bitrate.

    Augusto Alves da Silva, if you are such a fan of the gh1 why don't you put yours through a codec/compression torture test. i don't own any of these camera's and i would be interested in seeing some tests but bragging about your knowledge doesn't make me trust you.

    I'm so buying a 7D at the end of the month. I'm a filmmaker first and foremost with a new interest in photography so it's made for me. Can't wait!

    Hey Eugenia, can you elaborate a little on the 7d bitrate? Is it higher than the 5DM2 because the 7d shoots higher frame rates, or is it writing 48mbps at every frame rate?

    with less than a full frame CMOS, it doesn't match up to the 5D even though it can do 24/25p... sigh.

    Christ the D90 is a pile of crap compared to the 5DMk2 I have both these cameras and the Canon blows the Nikon away, the rolling shutter issues on the Nikon alone means its virtually unusable. I have D200 and D90 and I am selling the lot with my lenses and going over to Canon, I may buy a few D7's to work alongside the 5dMk2 at the price its worth buying 2 instead of another Mk2 for video work. The you will have a 3 camera setup fo very little money at all, combine that with Pro external audio and the results will be great.

    I have shot with the GH1... and compression was plain bad. The fur on a golden retriever looked muddy in a STATIC shot! It looked it was shot on a web cam. I am still holding my breath for the Scarlet... or the 7D, if compression proves to be good enough.

    this is by far the most heated discussion.....informative yet funny, we have video/pgotography beef lol. But at least everyone is passionate, and through all of this there is still some knowledge to be gained...I want a gh1 and a 7d....to be honest when push comes to shove I don't know which one I will end up with.

    Does anyone know of a page that focuses on the video aspects of DSLRs and had UP TO DATE quality reviews and comparisons as the technology come out?

    I don't think you can be to hard on the nikon D90. It was pretty much the 1st DSLR to do HD video. So I think any snubbing of the camera is pure snobbery without any consideration of this 1st gen technology.

    Obviously if you're going to shoot HD on a DSLR for any real purpose, then you're going to use something more pro anyway aren't you?
