cheers dude

Same here, very nice, especially the end shot with the water. What shutter speed were these images shot at ?

Nice song choice as well Philip !

Hi,

7D the $1800 24P firmware upgrade for 5D. Why give free 24P for 5D and terminate 7D? Canon like money. Exception of 7D little sensor to 5D. Is OK you pay $4000 for 5D MARK III with full sensor and 24P. No flip out screen that will be 9D.

Thanks Kanim,

I blame Mr Bloom, he's too good. Salesman or not...

Another fine film from Philip Bloom!

I recently emailed Canon and asked if there were any plans for firmware upgrades on the 5Dmk2 to add video functionality such as AGC override, frame rate control, headphone output, zebra stripes etc.. their reply was 'There are no plans for any future firmware upgrades on the 5D mark 2 and if I want more video controls to purchase a video camera."
I guess that answers that question. A tad bit on the rude side considering how big of a spotlight Canon put on the video functions on the 5D mark 2.(not to mention how much all of us spent on these cameras) I would not hold my breath waiting for upgrades to the 5Dmk2. So now we look to the fine folks that are developing the Magic Lantern software upgrades to help us turn the 5Dmk2 into a more functional video camera.
With that said.. I still LOVE my 5dmk2.. the video is AWESOME! and there are work arounds for audio.. it would just be nice for Canon to make it a better video camera.. and to be a little nicer to it's customers.

Maybe great amounts of questions like that as 5D2 turn the planet upside down. 5D2 will not receive 24P firmware upgrade for 24P in 5D2 is hardware not firmware and Canon not to commence replace chips in 5D2 for people to have 24P. To us it is large because we all do not stop talking this me too but for 5D2 video market is in bottom of list for sales. We remember these to be still photo cameras a market that we see history and grow across many years. 5D2 out for 1 yr that the age of the 5D2 video market which is a baby, Greetings.

That is a kinda rude response from canon. Maybe they're starting to think that they're giving away a bit to much with 5d... They must have a fat video camera waiting in the wings... The 5d really seems to have brought the video/photo convergence thing together... A pity if they start holding functions back from products just to squeeze customers...

I think you might have something there Oliver.. I too think the very positive response to the 5D2 video quality has them developing a video camera with the 5D technology.. time will tell.. I also agree they are withholding firmware upgrades on the 5D2 so when they unviel the 'full frame big megapixel video camera' people will want to buy it because their 5d's won't be able to do what the new one does.. that's what they did with the 7D.. I do remember taking a survey after buying my 5d2 and many of the questions were geared towards a flip out LCD..

We'll that sums that up then in the PAL world. 7D here we go.
I would add that even if canon release a full frame HD camera it will be a lot more expensive and bulky than these cameras and lens compatibility will be a whole new issue. Essentially a new kind of camera and the costs to go with.

erm. it says Canon 7d slow motion...

umm

great meeting you Josh

not notice it but haven't shot much 720 footage

In the shot at 0:08 I believe I see some aliasing on the lower rims of the eyeglasses.

Cheers Philip. I think there is some moire on the glasses. What a shame, if it's definitely not in the 1080p footage then hopefully a firmware fix will solve it as Canon seem to have fixed all the 5D problems with this camera.

Unfortunately there is some aliasing, but not just in this clip, I've noticed it in some other 7d clips. Hope it will be fixed!

By the way, de shots are great! Thank's for sharing!

On his site it says: 60p to 24p

24p slowed down wouldn't be that smooth :]

60p changed to 24p in cinema tools to get the perfect slow motion

On his site it says 7D. And there is actually no point in asking if you just know the secs of both and that 5D ain't capable of producing such smooth slow-mo.

i shot on the 7d in colour. grade it. if you read the notes it says we were at WEVA to do seminars on the 5dmkII. It does not say it was shot with that camera!

I stand corrected... my mistake.. thank you.

why? are we about content or technology here?

Typically, yes, about content. But in the wake of a potentially earth-shattering new product? I think we can be excused for being a bit technology-centric ;)

Although by now anyone following Philip's work should know he loves the 35mm f/1.4L on APS-C bodies...

i'd love to see the Lens details in the Tag as well. It's not on the Sugar Cane blog either

From looking at some of Uwe Steinmueller's clips it seems that the 720p on the 7D isn't as good as the 1080p. Image processing doesn't seem to be doing its job, so perhaps a firmware update will fix it given that the 1080p looks great.

hi, i would recommend you to go for 7D and a tokina 11-16mm f2.8 lens + kit lens (for basic). I have done an extensive research and this would be a great combination along with the kit lens. If money permits u can go on adding lenses including the 85mm f1.2. You can ask me any doubt you have about 5D . I can help you.

Hey Jay...i'm here looking around for Lens suggestions...thx! What makes you recommend the Tokina 11-16mm? Please post link

A new firmware for the Canon 5D Mark II is coming sometime in the first half of 2010 allowing it to record at 24p.

I hope that they add 60fps at 720p to it as well. It would be nice if they could do that at 1080p but I don't know if the camera can handle that.
