The Beijing Dan Chung is showing us is always very beautiful…Vienna is more relaxed.

I got the 7d almost a week ago and had no time to test it.
Finally dragged myself out of bed Friday 4 A.M only to find out not much is happening in Vienna at this time of night…

My aim was to test camera sensitivity, a bit motion and the new lenses I just got.
I was not aiming for “high end compositions”…

Camera first impression:
Like others wrote before, camera felt great in hands.
Image quality can not be compared with my previous VDSLR (Nikon D90, Panasonic GH1). The Canon is in a different class. No more scrolling waves or vertical lines.
Light sensitivity is great! what a bargain for the money.

Lenses used:
Following the thread “just good enough” I have contacted “Samyang Europe” and asked them to test two of their lenses, the 8mm fish eye f3.5 and the 85mm f1.4.
Samyang responded fast (great customer service) and the all video (but the time laps sequence) was shot with those two lenses.

Please judge for yourself. If you are looking for a modestly priced prime lenses, you can’t go wrong. The 85mm is very fast, affordable and does not breathe when changing focus.
I am looking forward testing Samyang 14mm f2.8 coming out next month.

All footage in this clip converted to Cineform AVI. No CC or additional treatment was done.

Next week My Z finder will arrive so focus should be easier.

Camera settings:
1080 25p ISO 800 (but the second shot made with the fish eye, ISO 1600)
Early morning shot are a bit misleading, believe me it was much darker outside :)
Picture style-standard
Time laps lens: Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS USM

Thanks!

Johnnie

Thank you friends!

If you have the chance please download the file and watch it on a big screen.
 
Wow. Very nice work, amigo. Great color tones. Can you share some of your color (saturation, contrast, etc.) settings?
 
Thank you all for taking the time commenting about the video!

Stephenmick, nothing special, just the camera "standard picture style"

Okay, in the future, you're supposed to lie and say it's some super-secret combination of settings that you can't reveal, lest you have to kill us.

But thanks! :D
 
Hey Johnnie, I really liked it. The couple on the bench was very nice, but was made more touching by the fact that it was partly obscured - you were shooting through something or the shot was reflected off something giving it a more romantic feel. Can you tell us what it is? Was it a mistake ;)?

Beijing, Vienna, man wish I could travel again but would have to give up all my equipment purchases for this year. I'll live vicariously through 7D/5D shooters :).
