Towards the bottom on this page are a few clips http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/multi_page.asp?cid=7-10042-10239-10240

[Jim Klatt]

I downloaded those clips...and every other clip possible.

I know the specs look outstanding, but the image look pixel-y to me or digitized. I obviously don't know the terminology, but am I the only one who is seeing this?? Especially wider type shots. Maybe its the compression?

Trust me, I want to believe this camera is going to be amazing, but so far I haven't seen anything that wows me except for the specs. I watched the Passage and was underwhelmed.

I know I'll probably catch hell, but trust me, I am all for this camera being amazing. I was just wondering if anybody else is a little mystified?

second that !

The 5d still looks like the winner to me, we'll have to wait and see when the 7d gets out .

[bwwd]

its because vids were made by photographers,we have to wait a little bit for something worthy to look at from this cam.
Vimeo is full of ugly tests from many cams,not mentioning red one.You have to know what youre doing.

[morgan_moore]

it is my debated opinion that F2.8 Crop chip is worth about F11 on a FF chip

ie FF is MUCH smoother shooting 4 or 5.6 on a FF

While crop 35 may be best for shooting cinema where the set is a set the ability of the 5d to blur reality is still a strong selling point

That canon video in venice or wherever really does not look appealing to me, but it is indeed IMO badly shot and crying out for some ND action and reflectors at least

shooting natural light is an art

nice but wtf.... no 24p samples? Almost everything 30p and one 60p

[Ian-T]

Hmmm....I watched "The Passage" again here at home and I think I understand what folks are saying about being underwhelmed. It didn't look as clean to me as when I saw it earlier today (at work on a different monitor). I watched it just now at the link posted above:

http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/samples/eos7d/

But to be honest....I watched it from a different link earlier that looked more "uncompressed" (or less). Matter of fact this link seems like it is low resolution. You can even hear it when listening to the music....which sounded like garbage. I think the reason for the varying comments of this video is because there are two different sites hosting this video. The one above is low resolution while the one I watched it from earlier (CAN SOMEONE FIND THAT LINK) looked flawless (in terms of no noise anywhere and sharp as a tack).

Edit: The link I saw it from earlier also had 5Dll footage to view (if that helps).

[Jim Klatt]

I watched both "Passages" and one is indeed a little cleaner, however I am still underwhelmed.

[ChipG]

Still photographers are shooting footage now, wait a week or two before you judge the image too much and t gets nto video guys hands. As of now the passage video is the best I have seen. We are going to see some awesome videos from this cam in the next 6 months, probably a lot of bad ones too from soccer moms. (I love soccer moms FTR)

They could have compressed it more to save bandwith, remember when the 5d2 revere video came out, it shut down cannons servers and they stopped hosting it.

What I saw last night was so good for a $1700 cam I pre ordered two from amazon 15 minutes later.

[ChipG]

This race car / motorcycle / eagle video looks awesome.

http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/samples/eos7d/player_sight/movie.html?high

I'm really glad I ordered two, Amazon sold all thier pre order cams last night. Even with the cam mounted on a race car on a dirt road the greatly reduced jello is going to make it a tool I'm really looking forward too. Those were some pretty tough conditions for a cmos cam, not saying it's not there, it is, just saying it's so acceptable for those extreme conditions I might pre order two more.

[Sacksnack]

This footage just made me place a pre-order. Unbelievable. I am speechless.

Ok...then I'm not going crazy. I was mostly amazed at the noise (or lack of it) especially when the shadow hit the woman's face etc. But this latest video is sort of noisy throughout.....which shows extra compression. What also gave it away for me was the music...a bloody mess. Anyways...the only thing I had againts that footage was that it was blown out in places... But the overall detail/sharpness and compression was nice.

LOL pretty funny guys!

Ohh yea, Barry Green owns an HDV camera, Barry Green owns an HDV camera. LOL :)

[Jim Klatt]

Hopefully, there will be a video that will sway me in the future. I mostly feel like I did when I first saw GH1 footage and everybody was going bananas. I totally dug the excitement over the specs, but the actual footage didn't do it for me.

[budha]

hahahahahah I haven't been rick rolle'd in months

[roxics]

My big thing is, how does it compare to 1980's film stock? (Aliens, Terminator, ect.) If I can make my videos shot on this thing look like that, I'm 1000% sold.

:)

[William_Robinette]

There is just as many crappy DVX/HPX/HVX/RED/EX1/etc clips out there too. To a certain extent I could care less what other people can get out of a camera. The real question is; when put into your hands, what can you do with it?

[Barry_Green]

Screen capture from the venice footy,.....maybe this will look more filmic :)

[John Caballero]

Yes. It is fantastic that many many people trash the camera and its output. Especially people that are not going to make any money with it. I encourage you. Allow the ones that are serious and knowledgeable about their business get one as fast as possible. Don't clog the system and let the ones that truly see the potential get their cams as soon as they come out. Thank you.

[Finster]

it is my debated opinion that F2.8 Crop chip is worth about F11 on a FF chip

ie FF is MUCH smoother shooting 4 or 5.6 on a FF

I don't understand. Are you theorizing that F2.8 on the 7D is like F11 on the 5DII??

I've seen flipbooks with better framerates.


Maybe it's the new "in" thing? Coming Soon....12P.... haha

(There was nothing wrong with the original vid, other than some videot seems to have uploaded a worse version on vimeo)

[Kholi]

Technically it could be. Shooting 2.8 = 5.6 about so if the MKii is much fasternatively, then it could be about right.

But I think it'll still be more like 5.6 personally. Or maybe there's just no way to convince me that Full frame is good outside of having the option to use it at will AKA window otu of it IN camera, not in post.

Hot damn, that is exactly the same look I want out of a camera. Although I stretch it to include those great 80's comedies Gremlins, Back to the Future, Weird Science, etc. Those films just had a feel when it came to colors that I WANT badly.

D80 is roughly the smaller
D3 is the larger
H1 is near 645 'epic'

RE your avatar - they show "Summer Heights High" in the US?! That's awesome!

[Rhys Day]

so many poor examples of the 7D at the moment, but the jello effect defiantly seems to be minimal in all the panning shots I've seen.

[Norbert]

You people who don't like the Venice footage, have you downloaded the mov-files from the other links? I watched (tried to) them in quicktime, which doesn't give them the right gamma, but they looked darn good like that. Very "raw-like" low contrast look. Then I had a look at them in VLC which gives them the right contrast. Didn't look as good to me. That gives me hope that I can lower the contrast in post at least.

[Richard J. Johnson]

Once the pro video guys get their hands on it we will see what this cam is capable of. It looks a little better than my HVX I can tell you that and it's so small I am thinking of all kinds of places to mount this thing.

[Jean Dantes]

Why is it that when people get their hands on an unreleased camera, they never shoot anything decent. I don't care if they are photographers, cinematograhers, or novices, give us five minutes of footage that at least tests things like rolling shutter (jello) and other concerns. I may be ranting like a bitch, but I think it's due to the fact that I was going to pay the deposit for my GH1 tomorrow, and then the 7D info hit the web. It's all so f$%king frustrating!

In a very not too distant future it will be very sexy to be shooting film with the latest VDSLR. It will be the IN THING. Everybody from the top down will want to be seeing with one of those. It is in human nature first to resist to a new trend then not wanting to be left out of the latest trend. The people complaining about form factor, not being professional looking, blah, blah, blah, will start swallowing their words pretty soon. Motion pictures, tv series, music videos, commercials at the highest levels will be done with these cameras. Mark my words in your calendar.

So it DOES have continuous focus.

It might be a camera flaw. Maybe "jello", the result of rolling shutter? Where are the "experts" to figure it out for us?

[plasmasmp]

I'm a pixel hunting expert. Send me to Venice with the cam and girl I will investigate more closely.

I promise to report back to this thread with my findings.

John where have you been? it already is the "in thing". The uber cool and slightly crazy are shooting "digital cinema" with DSLRs. Video is dead, jump on the DSLR wagon or go the way of the dinosaur.

Thanks, I was just wondering how slow 60p was on a 24 timeline. It's kind of hard to get a sense of it from watching water.

Could you do the opening scene of "Resevoir Dogs" (4 or 5 guys walking in suit in slow mo) Is it that slow? ...or say Bo Derek running on the beach in "Ten" slow.

You see! I am right already. Ahead of the times.

[plasmasmp]

As long as there isnt much motion in the frame, you can easily go up to 240fps from 60p. (No wave crashing cause it morphs.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDsQ5mCGgYQ&fmt=22

The thing I dig about footage like this is the 60p from this cam looks sharp. Rolling water footage does not break up like it does on the GH-1. Other than the mudd issue that (rolling water) is the only thing that really bothers me about the GH-1. This clip looks more like 5D ll footage.

I saw it immediately and its my biggest concern with the 7d. Hopefully its not so pronounced in the native footage. We have to wait for the first really good stuff made by some guys who know what they´re doing...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDsQ5mCGgYQ&fmt=22Dude, thanks for that. When I downloaded the 60fps footage and played it back in VLC I was like, this looks like real time. I was totally blanking on that you have to put it in post 24 or 30 fps timeline to get the effect.

I wonder though if it plays back from the camera in slow-motion.

[Jean Dantes]

Holy crap I wish somebody would upload a decent video of 7D footage.

I'm rolling around on the floor like an impatient child here...lol

Just wanna know how bad the rolling shutter is (especially in 1080P @ 24fps), and how the codec performs...

[speculator]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUjdgQc6sAg
http://www.youtube.com/user/websmilemax

(check the flower video too)
The somewhat random and rapid hand held movement is somewhat of a good indication of the rolling shutter on this imo

[Eddy Robinson]

I know that a new camera is often available only under controlled conditions, so photographers cannot necessarily go anywhere and shoot anything they want...but enough with the beautiful sunshine pictures already!

I really want to see some footage shot at night without the aid of movie lights or a flash. I think it was the night setting of Vinca LaForet's 'Reverie' which excited many people, and for me some casual night footage shot around San Francisco (where I live and know what it looks like to the eye) which really made me sit up and take notice.

I know the 7d will not be able to do quite as well as the 5Dii due to differences in the size of the sensor, photosites and so on. But I am dying to see what it can do. The shot below is a still at f1.2 but ISO 800 and 1/80 shutter. (super large version here (http://www.robgalbraith.com/public_files/Canon_EOS_7D_ISO800_Night.jpg)). If it can deliver a comparable video image I'd be very happy.

http://www.robgalbraith.com/data/1/rec_imgs/3264_7d_night_thumb.jpg

At this price I am not that hung up about RAW video...I can live with the limitations.


I know everyone wants to show off with a new camera...but to be honest I want to see people do their worst - go ahead, shoot with the wrong white balance, go into a dark tunnel and light a match, and so on. It's the limit conditions that make things look interesting. In fact, if anyone wishes to send me a 7D to perform these tests with, etc.

Buy a cheap monitor. They are as cheap as $600. Remember the 7D is only $1800, surely you can afford a monitor for $600 more. Even though the HDMI out is only 480p while recording that's more enough to let you know motion.

Now this is what i can call "a proper film look test" , i like it .Finally something decent.:)

[PaPa]

wow, that was amazing for jello. Im glad that was posted, cause for that much movement, the 5D or nikon D90 would have died.

[sblfilms]

I know PaPa, that was my biggest plus on that video from a 7D technical standpoint. Lots of motion (both camera movement and subjects in the frame). I'm reallllly getting excited for this little camera.
