5DII DOES 1080P footage!!!!!!

I'm telling you guys.

Nikon let the D90 fly just as a warm up.

The real camera will be their version of a D3XV.

Full sensor.

Full manual controls.

Full on bad ass.

I would bet it will bring down the house.

Nikon doesn't have a video unit to protect.

They in all likelihood will try and gain market share with a show stopper.
 
30p is a standard for HD broadcast hdTV. Is the real fight over film distro for the D90? I do not see 24p as being a major concern.

Thanks for the 24p vs 30p info everybody.

I know I'm liking this part of the 5D:

Sound is recorded either through the camera's built-in microphone or through an external microphone connected to the camera's microphone input terminal. Playback modes are available in the camera, and all Live View AF features can be used in shooting video.

I'm assuming this is a 1/8 jack for audio "in".

The distribution model of today (not even tomorrow anymore) is digital.


Look at the distribution deal announced by everyone today.

Pay once play on many devices.

****, Netflix has me hooked.

I watch so many "Play Now" movies that I am happy enough to get satisfied immediately with seeing a film and if I like it getting it on blue ray later.


It won't be long before we have digital direct to device blue ray quality.
 
Any body know if it will ship before Nov 1st. and i curious to see more samples. it looks like canon hurried to get this camera demonstrable for photokina.. kinda sparse,empty preview section whereas nikon hit the ground running with the press release and massive demos.

i'm deeply jealous of the true 1080 hd 16:9 mode..
 
Even theaters by the thousands are implementing digital projection. Once they all go that way all the film based criterias won't matter anymore. Crisp images, color perfect, 24 FPS or 30 FPS and everything else digital cinema capture based is what will matter.
 
we have to see the rolling on this one
21mp is slow to save from the start (hence the slow fps of all cameras with high mp count). that is the biggest question

i have downloaded the dpreview samples
not sharp to me. but resized to 720p will look much better
all are completely static, no camera move

Uhm, right. You go shoot a movie in 30p and tell me what your audiences think.

The fact is 30p is no for narrative, most commercial and most music videos.

If you want your stuff to look like handycam footage, that's fine.

98 percent of these boards want 24p.

How do you figure? are there more clips up than the one's in the first post in this thread? Because all of those were either static shots, or they were VERY carefully panned.

This leads me to believe that they're trying to hide the rolling shutter jingle jangle:Drogar-Evil(DBG):

PLEASE prove me wrong with more samples of some handheld footy...

Oh, and the 30p vs 24p argument? Doesn't make a big difference to me. Give me 1080p HD, interchangeable lenses, and a great big sensor, and I'm in. Would I like to shoot in 24? absolutely. Is it a deal breaker? no way.

I'm also in the boat that thinks Nikon is just going to turn around and release another higher end model.

ahaha? 24fps will always be the choice when it comes to narrative filmmaking....weddings, docs, commercials, sports who gives...film camera's can be shot at any frame rate they want, but 24fps has been the choice and it won't change. you'd be crazy to think otherwise.

but hell, it's pointless to debate anymore...think what you want and i guess time will tell.

Amen Kholi. I had an old AG-EZ 1 that had 30p....It was better than 60i, but doesn't come close to what 24p looks like.

You guys sound like old codgers complaining about Elvis and that "Damned Devil Music Known as Rock and Roll!" :tongue:


I understand that here to for you are in love with the 24p aesthetic as it is known.


But, it will change. All things do.
