Canon 7D High ISO and real life examples ( The Saga )

[CaptainTom]

Here's a very nice slo motion video using the 7D with a long lens and tele-extender.

Now I understand and appreciate why having video on a DSLR is a very nice feature.

The bokeh that you get when using a long glass is simply mouth watering. Or can you do the same using a standard video equipment? Maybe I just don't know video hehehe.

Man, I can't wait for the 7D to arrive at my doorstep =)

You'd need some prety high end video gear to get the same look.
Here's a short done with the 7D.

In the right hands, these HD-DSLR's can do wonders.

Captain Tom will be a junkie with the new camera.

Ah yes Jason, a friend of ours told me that he was field testing for Canon Philippines, I thought she was pulling my leg, apparently am wrong, awesome vid.

Man, he and Ron (the bird video dude) are favored by the Canon gods =)

Just processed some Raw files using ACR 5.5 and ISO 1600 & 3200 look good. ISO 6400 was useable with some light NR from NI.

I'm hoping that Canon will have a 7D at the upcoming TPPA convention in Arlington......

[High_Boost]

wow, that looks great..
I would love to have video in a dslr..
unfortunately, the only one I could even consider is the t1r :(

Not everyone is happy about the new 7D (NSFW subtitles)

[kayumangi]

That was hilarious Allen =)

But Jason Magbanua (the dude who shoot the 7D short vid) did an exquisite wedding video using 5D MKIIs so they ain't as bad as some say they are.

kayumangi added 76 Minutes and 8 Seconds later...Double Post Merged Below

Here's a wedding video captured using the 7D beta.

I saw the Captain today and he was sporting his new PERSONALIZED Canon 7D hat (Capt Tom on the back).

I'll try and get a shot of him wearing it...

If you want mouth watering bokeh with video....the 5D2 using a FF sensor will really impress you. And to answer your question...No, standard video equipment use much smaller sensors that inherently give you deeper depth of field. You can get nice bokeh when zoomed in tight in the right conditions, but nothing like a bigger sensor (unless you get a much higher end video camera).

The 7D video looks good, but if you're looking for serious shallow depth of field, the 5D2 will do even better.

Having said that, I have been on the preorder list with my vendor since the day the 7D was announced. Been using the 5D2 since first week of December and very impressed with video (especially since they upgraded the firmware to allow full manual control).

FWIW
