me neither. just good to see when you pan insanely fast it will show

Thanks for the new test Mike

Speaking as a relative laymen here. I wouldn't be disconcerted by the effect on a steady pan. A lot of folks posting DSLR films are using wide angle zoom lenses at the wide end (16-35, 17-40, 24-70 etc). I wouldn't be expecting straight verticals in my stills with those without a little help from DXO. Where it really jars is on the direction change. How often would you do that? In the circumstances when you would pan that fast, wouldn't the distortion be beneficial adding to the sense of speed or disorientation?

Maybe we should be a bit more forgiving of these technology quirks. In 20 years time we will be buying plugins to simulate rolling shutter to give it that authentic Noughties look

So true. I like that.

I feel like im about to get shot for saying this, but I often feel that rolling shutter enhances the feeling of speed. Say your moving the camera sideways, following along someone running in the streets. The far background can be blurred and have some rolling shutter, I actually feel that it gives a good sence of speed that way

The problem with your theory that the rolling shutter is like a real-life squash and stretch is that the rolling shutter causes the tops of objects to go in the direction the camera is moving before the bottoms of objects. Isn't it reversed in squash-and-stretch? If the camera is whip-panning to the right ==>, for instance, shouldn't a building look like this \ \ instead of like this / / ?

true.

David Tate, I know that, but its just a personal opinion. But my opinion is based on practice and not theory, so Im painfully aware of it not being realistic. I still think it gives that effect even if its pointing "forward" in terms of panning direction. But still, kudos for pointing it out. BTW; another thought;
What would happen if the camera was upside down? wouldnt the sensor in theory scan from bottom up? and this reversing the "skew direction"?

...owch. I think you just blew my mind.
Okay, now my head REALLY hurts.

I love trying to keep up with you guys, but I clearly don't know my limit. ;)

I know what you mean, theres alot of talented people on vimeo/youtube/forums and such and its hard to keep up sometimes.

I will, eventually....

hey sebastian, just checked your video, any of the dslr will do a great job

thks m.

24P firmware for 5D has been OFFICIALLY confirmed now! That is a HUGE plus when considering what body to buy!
Im so happy right now :)

I personally think, that in the case of following a subject, sometimes rolling shutter effect can be beneficial. Now it's only my personal opinion and I wont be getting into to a discussion with anyone. If you disagree, you're probably right anyway :P I just feel like it enhances the feeling of speed or "rush" if you have a dramatic running scene.

You are right but for example on the ikegami you will still have aliasing if you look for it,,,

very helpful. looking at all the tests out there it seems the slight 7D advantage is due to the smaller sensor. (less to scan) what' s your take on that?

It also might be to the fact that it has TWO digic 4 processors, instead of one like in the 5d.
