Comments on: It is the MkIV after all!!

Im off to Norway this weekend to try and film the northern lights with the hdx (fat chance!) - how much easier would that be on the 1D!? Instead of grain free awesomeness its all going to be a bit pants. I've also been using the letus for a while and the BBC really like it but I could get the same if not better results with the 5D and they wouldn't have to pay excess baggage and it would give my back a rest. Ho Hum. Know any rumours about the 1Ds? See you at the converge.one Its really frustrating speaking to the mbs bean counters!

It's just some are more picky than others. BBC HD and SKY HD in UK have the highest bar, but many others take it. After all am going to Lucasfilm on Saturday to push the 7D to it's limits to see if it can be used for their feature film production lots of broadcasters do.

I have spoken to the media village at the BBC and they will not accept any of the video dslrs as true HD. Firstly because their cut off is 50mb/s and secondly because they have invested in the panasonic HDX 900 tape based workflow and can only handle one fully tapeless production at a time. Consequently, they actively discourage the use of any tapeless acquisition and will continue to do so for at least another year. By special arrangement, the 5d has been used but it can only be used in the 25% of an HD programme allowed to be non HD.The only hope is through the nanoflash to boost the mb/s and get out of the h264 codec which the beeb do not like either (which has on occasion been done with the ex3). The low light capabilities look amazing on the 1D but if no broadcaster accepts it as HD, what's the point? Any news on the HDMI output yet or the mb/s?

It could be the holy grail when teamed up with a nano flash. Has anyone found out what the HDMI port outputs? in either live view mode or record mode.

Yes, these cameras are awesome, and the images are beautiful. If Canon make these chips/sensors this size and put them in still cameras, why aren't we seeing these in chips in video cameras? Ones that can use Canon lenses? Similar to the EX 3? If Canon could do that...now that would indeed be something! All the goodness of Canon glass, real audio, longer record times, perhaps even a way to record to some outboard device (i.e. Firestore) That's what I want! Ok, here is a slight rant…

I'm going to S. Korea this friday to shoot some work with the 7D. Last time I went, none of the hotels or buildings I rode an elevator in had a fourth floor (or button). That's because the number 4 looks similar to the Chinese character for death. I'm sure Roman numerals don't apply. not surprised they’re calling it the mkIV. I’m going to S.

(2) Rolling shutter issues are GREATLY improved. (3) 1.3 crop strikes me as the perfect size for video There are a couple of reasons why this is more appealing for video over the 7D and the 5D:

It may have just been careful editing as this film is more of a showcase than a test. It's still digic 4 so not much new on the codecs. Wonder what will be the first thing to get digic 5?
