7D has manual control 1080p 24/25/30p and 720p 50/60p

No pulldown, so frigging sweet. Just ingest and edit. And no 30P to 24P workarounds. I know there are flaws and caveats, but just the relative ease in post workflow has me breathing a sigh of relief.
 
Maybe they anticipate the cam's popularity and hope there are some desperate souls out there who want to avoid the GH-1 fiasco.

Seriously....I have no idea.
 
LOL I understand but my impression, and this is my impression, nothing imperical, but the GH1 has recieved a lot of special treatment from the rumors till now and I don't think it's a deserving product. The 7D on the other hand kinda seems like it might be Neo to the 5Dmkii's Morpheus and the GH1 kinda feels like the little nerd kid that gets shot up in the brick building and of course R1 is Agent Smith LOL
Thnx for humoring me btw

LOL and the D90/D300s is the cat that shows up twice, a deja vu glitch in the system
 
B&H with a Lens.
I guess I could have Nikon and Canon!!

You do realize how pissed off you people are going to be after you get your 7D's and in November Canon's video division is going to take the 5DII/7D sensor technology and put it in the proper form factor of a cine camera with all the proper audio inputs etc. Just a friendly warning about what's probably very close to release. This VDSLR craze is going to be put to an end very soon. Canon's video division is going to drive a stake through it's heart.
 
some of us want the video in the DSLR

I could sell you my pre-order confirmation number for $2,000.00 if you want... lol
You will be biting yourself if the price indeed goes up to $4k -- "Prices and specifications subject to change without notice."

I waited long enough, I can wait some more. I would prefer a camcorder in a camcorder body, not in a DSLR body. Meanwhile, I have two consumer cams to shoot with, I don't do it often anyway.

Some, but I expect not most. Personally as a photographer, I love the fact that I was able to get the 1DsIII image quality with a Red One thrown in for free with the 5DII at $2,400. ... :-)

Honestly, we ran through this long discussion in another thread and even if they do that, it still won't make it right. You have to wonder how they're going to deal with fitting a naturally 4k image into a 1080 frame without line skipping first.

Second, you must consider how much its going to cost. It will probably be nowhere near the ballpark of what we're paying now, so that's always something to keep in mind.

I don't think anyone would be pissed off. On the contrary, I think the most of us (and maybe even me) would be like "Well... I can get another 7D (or whichever camera is out by then) for the price of this and shoot two cam. Naaah."


Now, if it came in at like 3K, did away with the aliasing, etc etc. Then guess what?

We sell the cameras and get that one. LOL This is how cheap they are, it's like pouring out an old glass of water and refilling the cup.

Exactly. Canon has to stop making the GL-2 someday. But how its successor will look like? Will it be the HF-S in the GL-2 body, or will it be the 7D in the GL-2 body? Or maybe Canon will release two cameras instead of one? Who knows.

You can get more than 15 7Ds for the $30K you would end up spending on a Red One!

BTW: I absolutely love the VDSLR concept. Form factor and all.
 
It's true. And you would get many more creative shots out of those fifteen 7Ds than you would with any RED ONE setup. Different animals for different purposes.
 
canon can take an uber expensive cine form factor camera and shove it. All the next generation DSLRs need is less compression, no line skipping and a global shutter.
