Well this looks like the reason to sell my D90. :-)

Could anybody who is more at home with Canon lenses suggest what primes would be a good purchase together with the body?

What would be the equivalent of a 28mm, 50mm and a 100mm on a 35mm full frame?

Wait a minute... If you already own a D90, then you already know the answer. The 7D's chip will be very close in size. You might even be able to use your existing Nikon lenses on it with the appropriate adapter.
 
I cannot wait till tomorrow to see the official press release so all the speculation and leaks can either be confirmed or shot to hell! Either way bring on tomorrow!
 
If you can stay up late tonight, they'll probably be having press releases in Asia which is one day ahead I believe.

its rumored heavily to be a 1.6x crop factor, so for a 28mm you'd need a 17.5mm, etc..

1.6x crop from "Full Frame" is perfect for Cinematography. A 17mm isn't even the standard ultra wide in a Cinema Lens kit so that's really no issue. And given how fast and clean the MKii was, this camera being newer, using something like a 17/2.8 or even an 11-16/2.8 Tokina will be just fine.

The 1.6x Crop and 24p are enough to tide me over for a long time if the image is the same quality as the Mkii.

Add better rolling shutter management and we have a winner. Super winner, even.

I think that it'll be better managed. As long as it's up to snuff with the GH-1 then there's really nothing left to complain about. I'm hoping that the 60p was not a typo myself, just in case.

I was kinda still worried about long runs but being able to own two and just shoot at different angles, overlapping the long takes should be fine.

And of course... having video out during recording... a certain oversight by a certain company that is really unforgivable...

what about autofocus? thats a big one for me!

Although codec should be number 1, since I do lots of POST / screen - work.

Would a 7d be here BEFORE gh2 is available?


somebody please HELP me decide!

I can seriously feel my credit card being charged for multiple gh-1s by MIDNIGHT
tonight!

However small the market may be. It would seem that if Canon made a dedicated video camera with the technology they already clearly have, and sold it for in and around the same price as say an xh-a1...

Oh boy, that would be something.

I for see the 35mm adapter market slowly disappearing in the next 5 years.

But this may be the dslr that turns me to Canon. Why have you failed me Nikon...WHY???

Unless the rumoured d700s has a minimum of manual controls and a better codec im out to Canon.
 
There are some laptops coming out this Christmas that have hdmi inputs. Curious to see how this cam will work in the field recording directly via hdmi.

Do you have any links to said laptops? I'd love to see which companies will be releasing these.
