Philip Bloom’s 7D Footage - 24p is Nice!
If you haven’t heard of Philip Bloom yet, let me introduce! He’s a fantastic DP, technologist, video-know-how dude that really knows how to showcase gear and develop work flows. Recently, he had a chance to test out a pre-release model of the new Canon EOS 7D …
Here’s the link to his 7D footage blog post.
And here’s his thoughts on the 7D camera after his exposure to it.
Would I grab a 7D? It’s a tough call … I seriously hope Canon releases a firmware update to the 5D mk2. CanonRumors even has a post about a possible 5D 1.1.4 firmware update from a French source, with notes about 24p. Honestly Canon! It’d be ridiculous to leave such an amazing camera crippled from it’s true video potential!!
Hey Teft, Have you called Canon and requested for the firmware update? Here’s the link: http://5dmark2.wordpress.com/2009/09/04/i-called-canon/
I suggest everybody call Canon and make the request ASAP.
