HD video capture
The EOS 5D Mark II is Canon's first D-SLR to incorporate full HD 1920×1080 video capture. Once filming isstarted from Live View mode, photographers can fire off either single or continuous stills, with video capture continuing after the final frame iscaptured.

Way better than Nikon's 5 minute limit on video, but at double the price.

Hmm...I've been contemplating on picking up a 40D after the 50D drops for a very good price.
May have to get the 5DMKII instead...

Can't wait to see what Canon has in store for Photokina.
Hopefully they'll come out with a 17-40 L replacement.

BTW, has anyone else heard about the custom 40D firmware with video features?

That 5DII is gonna be something serious.

I've been into photography for a while (used a Sony P&S) but only have had my Rebel XT for around 9 months...

Here is one of my most recent shots. May seem like I went crazy with the saturation but I was going for that look since those colors look really good together.

Here is my FLICKR

^ Can I borrow it?

Now they announced that the superzoom I wanted, the SX1 IS wont be coming to North America. I proceeded to ask myself "why me?"

Quick Question: I bought my D40 at bestbuy and got the product replacement plan, can i get a replacement/ refund/gift card if i justify that there is a loosecomponent inside the camera because every time y move it, it sound like the mirror or some other inner component is loose and moving inside. thanks in advance.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Depending on where you got it, you might get it replaced on the spot, given credit for it, or you mighthave to leave it with them for a few weeks to see if they can repair it.

an expanded ISO range of 50-25,600

After using the 5d to shoot my last wedding, I'm spoiled.

Luckily its going to be a tax writeoff.

The ISO goes that high as attempt to get film-like grain I take it or no? Cause otherwise I'm lost as to the point or usability of 25,600 iso.

 

[mytsharp]

No, just for low light. At least for me that will be the purpose.

Not to mention its full frame. I know thats not relevant, just wanted to throw that in there.

i need help. is it my camera or my lens?


i hate how my pictures come "rounded out" kinda like blurred out around the edges/sides....

why can't my pics be just straight focused? lol is it my lens?


this is what it looks like, and what i don't like

and i want it to be sharp like this. props to dunksrnice &rockthesole lol. an NT/ISS couple

 

[SVNTI]

^ Use a smaller Aperture. f/11 - f/22

 

[mjbetch]

^^ i love you

 

[SVNTI]

*Hugs*

 

[ebayologist]

^Well it'd help if the photograph was legitimately sharp/in focus to begin with and I don't think dunksrnice photographs (least not those) are reallyall that sharp. But what you're referring to is softness not roundness

and it's the lens the edges of your lens are soft. Is it a zoom lens? If sothats probably a lot to do with it, and the focal length you use with that zoom lens as certain focal lengths will be sharper or softer than others and a hugenumber of the cheaper larger focal ranges lens for Canon's and Nikon's are $%$%+$! terrible as far as sharpness goes. It's more than likely reallyexaggerated by shooting handheld and without any natural light or a legitimate flash/lighting rig.

Edit: You don't need F11 or > to get that in sharp focus. That's ridiculous. There's no depth. You could probably get like 90% of the content ofthat photograph in focus with like f5.6 from maybe what like 10 feet away. Technically it would probably marginally sharper with higher F stop but I thinkyou're negating the real issue of a soft lens, out of focus, and what feels like slight camera shake.

 

[mjbetch]

thanks guys. yeah it's a zoom lens. 28-200mm i'm waiting for my 18-55mm come in.


is it normal to have like a 5" shuter speed with an 11f aperature?? something like that. idk.


and using this speedlight sb-800 is confusing. haha


no more d80 for me, i'm just gonna get a lens. haha

 

[SVNTI]

Good luck shooting handheld with a 5 second exposure. Thats probably why your pics aren't sharp. /use a Tripod, or use the SB-800 on the TTL setting.

I really don't know $*@ about SB flashes cause I've never owned one.

 

[mjbetch]

yeah, i'm using an ipod.

i dont understand how these people are doing f/11 aperature iindoors....

I was wrong.

You shouldn't be hand holding shots with a camera with an eye level viewfinder slower than 1/60th. Don't give me this @!!*%%@$ about steady shot orwhatever other stability crap any digital camera has. That #*#% is fake, you can't handhold and shoot a clear and steady shot with an eye level viewfinderslower than 1/60th, maybe 1/30th if you have OD steady hands or brace it against your body quite well.

And you don't need F11 indoors that the ultimate point. Shoot it like 5.6 @ 1/60th and turn the flash to TTL.

 

[mjbetch]

so i should just have steadier hands and a better lens? lmao

VR works dammit!

 

[mjbetch]

thanks so much santi and ebayologist
