Well, I finally got my hands on one of these Canon 5D mark 2′s. I’m using the camera strictly for video and it is working beautifully. This clip shows what sort of “photographer inspired” imagery can be done with this thing. There are many drawbacks to using this camera for video, but there are also amazing features like: interchangeable lenses, the full frame sensor, and extreme low light sensitivity!
Warning: Music is a bit of a downer. Skip to the motorcycle video if you want something a little more “upbeat”.
