[QUOTE="Dann:1155762"]Appreciate the comments. I haven't seen much casual use of the 5D II, but I imagine DSLR footage will become more common with the Rebels and D90 range landing in everyone's hands. As stated it is very annoying, mainly due to a few factors. First you're still holding a camera, not something that is really mean to be held like a video camera. Additionally there's no autofocus. I end up eye-balling the focus and manually focusing on everything for 4-6 minutes straight. Not the most fun exercise. The pro's of course are the extreme low light sensitivity. The ISO can be cranked up pretty high and once downsampled to the 2Mpx screen size of 1080p, a fair amount is removed or at least not noticeable. I try to use the lenses that let a lot of light in. Once in a while, I'll use a 70-200 f/2.8 but that ends up not being enough at times. The 85 f/1.2 and 24 f/1.4 work well for what I do. The extra bulk of the magnesium construction does help reduce the shaking, as interia works in your favor. I've posted a couple examples below. [YOUTUBE=zj9g5D9rJTE] [YOUTUBE=XWiDN4ZilKc] In a perfect world, I'd have more than one camera, and the additional shots would actually from the song being recorded, but I don't have a few extra thousand, nor a crew, so I try to make the footage from the rest of the set match to a degree. That ends up being one of the main complaints, but it is what it is. For sound, I have a Zoom H4n, which sits on a tripod in the back or somewhere the crowd won't break it, and I let it capture the entire set. Then in post, I try to find an obvious point where the video and sound sync up, and use that as a basic for getting the external source matched up. Isn't too bad really and sounds a lot better than the onboard mic, which is just terrible. [/QUOTE]
