Canon 5D stands in the spotlight

The Canon 5D has always been a great camera. I made the Mark II purchase a few months ago and it was one of the best purchases I've made in quite some time. With it's full-frame 21mp sensor, its famous for the quality it produces. I'm not here to talk about the stills though.

The latest Canon 5D Mark II is not only known for its superb image quality, but even more famous for its 1080p capabilities. It's really the next big thing under the Red system. When people talk about this camera, the first thing they think about is the video; It's no longer about it's still quality. - We all know this.

Although I havn't quite learned how to use it, I can tell you the video on this camera is amazing. Just amazing. Amazing I say. Amazing. Vincent Laforet can tell you that. And so can Greg Yaitanes, the series director of the TV show, House. I have also read that the show "24" has used the Canon 5D Mark II. High production Television series' using DSLR's as recording devices, sweet. It really makes me feel as if I have purchased something for beyond a digital camera. The episode of House will air May 17, 2010.

I'm in the process of learning the video side of the 5D. I will be attending Vincent Laforet's Free Online Class on creativeLIVE and you should to! - it's FREE.. FREE FREE FREE... It will be a great investment of time.

The 5D has changed the way professionals are doing the things that they have done for years. That's something to be said.

So here's my question to you; What els has been shot with the 5D? Do you have one and have experimented with the video? Please share! Tell us what you think, any difficulties, pros/cons. Or even any questions that you may have about it.
