I have been lucky enough to acquire a Canon 7d for the next few weeks to give it a good old road test from the point of view of someone who will use it for the video mode.<\/p>\n

So over the next few weeks keep an eye on my blog as I will play around with it as much as I can.<\/p>\n

I am writing then when I should be packing as my taxi is coming in an hour and am not ready. Off to Dublin for 4 days to do some workshops out there on Film look and DSLR Cinematography<\/a>. I will have the 7d with me of course. There are a few places left on the Saturday so if you aren’t already coming, hurry up and book the last places<\/a>. All attendees will also get a discount on Genus products<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As soon as I can I will be out shooting with the camera. In the meantime here are photos I took of the camera, pimped up with Zacuto baseplate<\/a> and rods, Rode stereo mic and of course the Genus Mattebox<\/a>, perfect size for the 5d.<\/p>\n

Any requests of what you would like to see from me with the camera please post below…<\/p>\n

Initial thoughts. Nice weight in hands. Teeny bit heavier than 5dmk2. Takes same batteries and love the new dedicated video mode button on back. But the real test comes when I start shooting with it and that will be very soon. I promise. I will be showing some footage on the big screen at the workshop\/ seminar in Dublin too.<\/p>\n
