Oops I spelled does wrong I was so exited

UPDATE: sample footage http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/eos5dm2/02.html#01

 

[Zack Birlew]

Ugh. 30fps? Come on, Canon, no 24p option at least?

 

[Kholi]

No 24P switch? Sigh.

 

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

Chill people. We now have 3 of the exact same threads on the main page.

 

[Kholi]

Not exactly the miracle I was hoping for. Seems like Nikon and canon fail to get their acts together.

Here are details on the 5D movie functionality.. http://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-9316-9603 MUCH MUCH better than the D90. I'm glad I waited for Canon's response.


Here are sample movies.. http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/eos5dm2/02.html#01



You can do external Mic as well.. and up to 30 minutes of continuous recording..,

Man, that is very expensive. The links to the movies don't seem to be working for me.
Lets hope Red does a better job at a more afordable price.

Much much more 30p than the D90.

Again, someone drops the ball.

hefty price :-Laugh(DBG):

US: $ 3,499 (kit)

 

[f64manray]

No 24P switch? Sigh.

Could you educate me on that. Why is 30p a deal breaker as opposed to 24p?

 

[Kholi]

As easily put as possible:

24p = Movie Cadence
30p = Home Video Cadence

Different strokes for different folks. The majority of these boards are 24p based. Even for Wedding Shoots.

Photography is truth. And cinema is truth twenty-four times a second.

 

[Andrew Brinkhaus]

And sometimes 90 frames per second and a few times it's at 120 frames per second. :happy:

 

[booggerg2]

Hey saw the canon 5D video samples.. no jello at all unlike the D90... 24fps whatevers.. There's always a chance to redefine what is accepted as cinematic frame rate. A revolutionary gear like the 5D mk2 will push for that change.

 

[John Caballero]

Millions upon millions of viewers would not be able, or would not care, about the difference between 24 and 30 fps even if you tried to explained it to them. Digital cinema is digital cinema not film. So many people try to hold on to pre concieved notions of what is correct and whats not.

 

[stoiqa]

let`s see if this thread will go even half, the uber thread D90

out

 

[ESTEBEVERDE]

"Canon's own testing, the typical maximum clip length possible was about 12 minutes, but this will vary based on scene content."

This is truth.

I think we will see even higher frame rates something closer to 60p before too long.

Of course, the images will have incredible depth of field etc. from superior lenses and sensors.

Only for the guys who are just one step beyond than the film emulsion purest. :beer:


Time to grow grow grow.


24p was a compromise between the mechanical reality of film capture and projection and acceptable jitter and look.


That was it.

hmmm here's where the problem may be:

- the limit is 4gb per movie
- video is mpeg4
- shutter speed will be set automatically
