Again, it goes back to what we choose to shoot with the MK II. For instance, in one scene where there were two women, the lack of deth of field actually detracted from the image. Not everything should be shot with limited DOF. The DOF can be a distraction as well as a help.
A scene in Central Park comes to mind.įor me, personally - it's a QUALITY of video, control over the DOF Like you, I think it's better suited with wildlife and nature. and I belive - fot that kind of video 5D2 isĪnything with people in it might look stilted with the MK II frame rate. Usially I do NOT do "an industrial video". sometimeĮven quick pan give the nice result, if I set the proper shutterīeing able to slight zoom out as you panned, which is easy with a traditional video camera, would have helped. But, it does show up in my camera in videos.Īctually I think this IS " a reflection on my skills". I haven't tried it but, after thinking about it for a while it seemed to me that the IS may kick in as the lens is moved and that is the problem. I just CANNOT control it to perform a smooth zoom and it appeared to me that the mechanical system you are using also has trouble with the lens it's driving. In my camera, for instance, there is a catch somewhere around the half-way mark with my 70-200 L lens. There was a reason why I didn't focus on your skills, it was too obvious that the zoom, even with the rig you have, was not smooth enough. Now I can use ANY of my best lenses on 5D2 with it's HUGE sensor.ĭon't know any camcorders which can do the same (exept RED maybe ) I justĭon't get the allure it seems to have over better options other thanįor me, personally - it's a QUALITY of video, control over the DOF and, definitely, -the COST. While I love the fact that the 5D permits us to shoot video. and I belive - fot that kind of video 5D2 is good enough The frame rate seriously bothered me for an industrial video. sometime even quick pan give the nice result, if I set the proper shutter speed. Required a quick pan rather than a zoom and it looked un-natural.Īctually I think this IS " a reflection on my skills". The scene where the worker backed out of the frame Few people could do it better, so it's NOT a reflection The panning had to be super slow, resulting jerkiness that wasĭistracting. I don't see anything better for this money anyway. Production to recommend the 5D MK II as a primary video camera.

Pretty expensive in the end (although I guess one could try to skip the LCD+battery and couple other things to cut price down a bit), but that said FAR cheaper than the Zacuto and RedRock, yikes! I think the baseplates on those cost more than your full rig including the LCD!
