Please note, I am addressing this question to people with direct experience of the issues I raise, please only answer if you own either of the cameras and also if you are using the video in a PAL region.
I am a broadcast camera operator and final cut editor, I currently shoot on Digibeta, DSR-DVCAM and compact HDV, I am in a PAL video region (UK) and despite some reservations, am gradually being seduced by the idea of video in a DSLR.
I will continue to shoot on full-size video cameras (perhaps even alongside the DSLR for audio) so this question is really in the context of augmenting my kit for specialist applications than replacing what I'm already using.
A couple of questions:
I understand that both cameras shoot at 30fps (I know there is a slower 1080 mode for the t1i) obviously this is different from the PAL standard, so how are users converting? Do you do it through canons software or do you do it through your NLE suite? How fluid are the results?
I know that the footage on the 5D Mk2 is 1080 and the 30fps footage on the T1i 720, but is this widescreen or 4:3?
Any demos I've had appear to show the full area of the LCD, which would make it 4:3 or therabouts, is there a 16:9 mode?
Is it possible to display 16:9 guides?
My primary interest is going to be using superwide lenses (well 17-40) tilt shift lens (24 mk1) and maybe even a lensbaby 3G or muse, as these are areas I cannot replicate with a video camera. Obviously full frame is going to be better for this, has anybody else tried this? Have you any results I could see?
I am on FCP 6, which can integrate different types of footage in one timeline, has anybody tried intercutting footage from their DSLR with footage from HDV, DVCAM or Digibeta? I understand there will be downconversion required to standard def has anybody cut in this way? How were the results?
Many thanks in advance to users who can answer from their own direct experience.
