That 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.

[...] 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. [...]

The GH1 kind of sucks, compared to the rest of the cameras.

Though, the swivel display is really cool

Excellent. I would like to see more with the T2i/550 in comparison.

Already downloaded when they first came out (in Safari hit View->Activity, and then option double-click the file) but thanks for the heads up!

Now we just need some uncompressed PNG screen grabs!

Ive 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.

“This file cannot be downloaded anymore today” lol. Would it be terrible for someone to upload this to a p2p site like demonoid or isohunt?
