Canon 5D Mark II shows off Reverie

September 28th, 2008 by The ShutterBug

All I can say is … wow. It really makes me wonder if buying a new camera in the next few months is worth it. With the recent breakthrough in DSLR video processing and interchangeable lenses, I should be wary with what new thing our camera manufacturers come up with next. My prediction - DSLR’s are the next point and shoot, with underwater-compatible bodies becoming the next item on production.

It makes me wonder, as an amateur video podcaster or “vlogger” if I should get myself a Nikon D90 or one of those consumer cameras. Vincent Laforet hit it on the nail:

Keep in mind - this is raw footage (not RAW) from both Canon XH A1 camcorder - and a few clips for the Canon EOS 5D MKII - you’ll see that the two are toe to toe (not really) on bright scenes… but in low light - NO COMPARISON… so I’m not sure of how Canon feels about my trashing their top of the line XH A1 camcorder… but common sense leads me to state the following: if the Canon still camera team and the video team have come together to produce the Canon EOS 5D MKII - the next HD camcorder they come out with - may just floor us all… these are very exciting times - to be someone who focuses on “creating” as opposed to the “process” and “technique” of making your vision match the “reality” of the tools you have at your disposal.
