Hi!

I would like to buy a 7D, and along for making short films, I would like to use it with Panasonic HS-400 HD video switcher and EX1 cameras as a third camera sometimes. I already have Blackmagic HDMI to SDI converter. But I was reading that 7D is not giving full hd on HDMI but 1620 x 910
Is it only while recording or all the time?

How about 5D? I know it outputs 480p while recording, but can it output full 1920x1080 while not recording? Can any of the HDSLR do that?

Thanks for your reply

the 7d outputs Full HD signal as far as I know....but even if it were 1620 x 910..its a heck of alot better than the 5d
 
afaik the 1620 x 910 is the native 7d chip res. So it is the signal before it gets uprezzed in saving?

On the 7d, and also on the 5d i believe, when you press the info button you can remove all data from the camera LCD screen as well as on the HDMI output EXCEPT the white BOX for ZOOM in BUT it will disappear when REC button is pressed BUT and a RED REC Dot is left on the upper right.

So if you are using the HDMI out for recording and NOT for monitoring be wary that there is a BOX that is in the screen. The only way to remove it is to press rec on the 7D but a red DOT is left.
