Holy giant EGO batman!!

Well my cometary about the content aside.

This video shows that the 5D mII is perfectly capable if you have a 15member staff and Million dollar budget.

CongratYOUlations Canon you have just tickled every teen myspacer into wanting your camera.













BTW I want want too

Vincent happened to walk into CUSA headquarters the afternoon the cameras arrived. He talked Canon into loaning him one for the weekend. The whole film was shot in 72 hours. The budget was $5,000, including a $2,000 helicopter ride. Most of it was shot at ISO 1600 and 3200. I thought it turned out pretty well for a guy that hadn't shot a video before.

I bet it will take nice still photos, too. Seriously, what a great tool for newspaper photographers that have to shoot stills and video. And soccer moms can fill their harddrives with HD video.

I like what your saying Geoff.
This camera is a fully useful tool for reportage , Documentary, newsroom, and the list goes on.

I think maybe Vincent is more lucky in his friends than most.
$5 K budget is what they say but that's just impossible for most of us.

I think this list goes in the budget of $5K.

Eos 5d mII not listed

Ok, $1M is a Sarcasm but this was not done for $5k by a long shot.

To be fair, Canon has created a very nice camera
I don't know how it competes with 5D but video shooting capacity is a really cool option as we will be able to use our quality MF gear. I'll buy one but 1 or 2 years later I guess
