June 25, 2010 at 09:58Very interesting to see the results and the differences. It really is amazing to see how far digital has come, getting that one step closer each time to film capabilities. And as someone mentioned in the video it is difficult to call it video now, it is digital film
Thx for the upload, great stuff

June 25, 2010 at 12:40as much as I love vimeo, their download servers do not play nice with standalone downloader apps that help you with resumable downloads, slow internet, etc.
Maybe when I visit the States next month I’ll remember to do it there.

June 26, 2010 at 02:02Ive only watched the third episode and it was great. I think I’ll be getting the T2i within the next couple of months. Even though the conclusion is evident beforehand (the DSLRs don’t look like film yet) I think that’s not even a drawback. What I mean is that a few years ago cameras were so expensive that I thought I would never be able to shoot anything in my life but nowadays there’s this cameras that have the potential to almost match film for a price that’s very accesible. The difference exists but the fact that the experts have to look so close to find them is a majorpoint in favor. I know that in a few years a new model will come out and have all the specs we are wishing cameras today to have, but if I start thinking like that I’ll never buy anything.

Now we just need some uncompressed PNG screen grabs!

June 27, 2010 at 05:50Excellent. I would like to see more with the T2i/550 in comparison.

June 27, 2010 at 18:05The GH1 kind of sucks, compared to the rest of the cameras.
Though, the swivel display is really cool

Footage test from Canon 7D | Rob Webster Creative Communication
July 16, 2010 at 16:39[...] Being a photographer as well as a videographer, I’m often asked for equipment advice. And I’ve always told people that even though for years still cameras have been able to shoot video, the quality was never there. Get a still camera for still shots, and a video camera for video, I’d say. But I’ve also said that one day the merge would happen. Well, folks, the day is here. High end DSLRs from Canon and Nikon can now shoot video that not only rivals the best video cameras, but even rivals film. Don’t believe me? Go here. [...]

July 16, 2010 at 18:21That was really informative. Thanks for posting that. Philip, what were the settings used on the 7d/5d in terms of picture style, contrast, sharpness, saturation??? I wonder how having “highlight tone priority” engaged would have affected some of the footage. Thanks again.
