Just to update… “Name” has sent a link to the full specs of the original “5D” showing that it indeed CANNOT SHOOT VIDEO!! We are all such idiots aren't we! This is such a bombshell, I don't know what to say. This, by the way, was in response to my last post about umm… a month ago? He says (AGAIN) we need to “deal with it” I don't know about anyone else, but does he realize he is completely on his own with this campaign and needs to get a life?
And before you reply “Name” yes… we know the 5D cant shoot video and we need to deal with it but as much as it upsets you I, we will all continue to refer to the 5D Mk II as the ” 5D” and WE all know what we mean even if YOU don''t… SO DEAL WITH IT!!!

AND HERE IS THE TRAILER: http://bit.ly/HouseFinaleTrailer

All shot on the 5D!

Dude, we are talking about a tv show shot on a still camera that has the use of video. When we mention 5D and are talking about a video production it makes sense that we are referring to the 5DmkII.

People who try to introduce conflict in an internet comment are the ones who are 'idiots'

I saw it and to me the video looked flat.
Definitely not as rich and colorful as before.

And it was clear that the highlights were blown-out.

I was going to write them and ask that they go back to the old hardware, but I realize the massive cost-savings of using a small portable DSLR over a big 35mm film camera. The shots taken in the scenes where the woman was trapped underground would have been much harder. Certainly it helped to be able to hook the camera up to a computer for remote-monitoring even control.

So this is a mixed bag.
So much of it depends on exactly what they were using before and what features it has or doesn't have relative to the 5dmk2.

(see? not easy to do: “5dmk2″. )

You´re just incredible..

“Dude, we are talking about a tv show shot on a still camera that has the use of video. When we mention 5D and are talking about a video production it makes sense that we are referring to the 5DmkII.”

It makes no sense to talk about the 5D as if it could shoot video.

That is where the conflict is coming from. People like you who have no sense, and people like me who have sense. It's like calling Bush Reagan and saying that since you're talking about Reagan when Bush is actually the president that everyone must know that you're actually talking about Bush. You're just being stupid.

Note also that now there's a hack for the Panasonic GH1 and its ilk that allows them to shoot video at 50Mbit/sec, passing the 5DMk2 in capability and quality. So especially since the Panasonic is smaller, lighter and can shoot to SDXC why not switch to that?

that should keep you birdbrains fluttering for quite a while, trying to keep the name of the camera straight LOL

or just not bothering to, more like it

…sorry I should be more clear.

I wasn't talking about the Spitfire MkII.
Which can actually shoot video.

Only some of us here look like idiots.

But those who do often overshadow the rest of us LOL

excuse me for interupting, name someone, I am a e.n.g. and e.f.p. film camera man. After working years on for film and the television industry with camera's of all kind. I feel a bit confused about your statements. yes the DOP choses the camera. No-one else. And yes the 5d (mkII) can shoot video (1920-1080 24 or 25P) There is a bit of moire in some clips especially when full open. I have the Canon 5DMKII myselve and shoot a lot with it. Most recently sold clips to HD stock libraries who normally only buy stock from 35mm, super 16mm film shots and/or the range of top notch HD camera's. If you don't know the 5dMKII can capture good video with a beautifull shallow DOF and a noise floor beyond what the eye can see at night. Perhaps this forum is not the right forum for you. I feel you do not know what you talk about. And accuse people who do. You say some about that you feel its all Canon here…. I have been the first in my country to introduce the digital cinema camera's of P+S. With the camera's Slumdog Millionaire was made. And yes it did win most of the oscars, bafta's and many many other prices for quality of footage. Every time there was something nice to mention in my country there were enormous amounts of certain people claiming it could not be true. Most of these claims were from one site/ one type of (camera owners) namely Red One owners. I have measured the Red as well as most other camera's. And do recognise the Red One lover in you. Either buy a Red One and start posting how great it is for the rest of your live. or have fun with it as perhaps you already have one.

There are pictures of them shooting scenes in it. End of this discussion.

Yes, unfortunately most of them are. The problem is however mostly to do with the size of the chip (2/3 inch) being the standard for broadcast cameras and the as opposed to 35mm on the mark 2 and the inability to fit cine lenses to most video cameras. The mark 2 is not perfect, it has it’s own problems, primarily the CMOS censor and it being fiddly and sometimes irritating to use, but for it’s price it definatley has a place in the industry. Horses for courses. Personally I think the red one camera is the best digital option on the market, but a kit is much more expensive. Will still choose film whenever we have the budget.

I want to know how they dealt with the OVERHEATING issue.

Shhhhhhh!

Let the morons who think owning a 5D will make up for their lack of skills go buy one. That way Canon will make more money and be motivated to develop even better cameras for us to buy who know what we’re doing.

Hey retard, you forgot a period at the end of your second sentence.
