This is a correct point where many users of 5D MII agree and what the marketing speech obviously "forgot" to mention: if one wants to shoot video as one does with a hand-held camcorder, this camera is not a good alternative and many point-and-shoot cameras would do better (not in terms of quality but usability). The biggest problems are: x impossibility to use continuous AF x impractical use of Live View AF during recording (focusing back and forth takes time and image gets blurred - depending on the lens, of course) x need for an external microphone (the built in one records everything one does on the camera - manual focus, AF, stabilisation, etc..) x difficult manual focusing due to small and non-tiltable LCD (HD video has bigger resolution then the LCD and with shallow DOF focusing becomes critical) x difficult to keep the camera steady during manual focusing or zooming regards, Milan Knizek knizek (dot) confy (at) volny (dot) cz http://www.milan-knizek.net - About linux and photography (Czech language only) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
