The Changing Camera World

Recently, Canon introduced a new version of it's EOS 5D model the 5D MKll. A number of pros have tried it out not only for it's great image quality but for it's video capability. The first was done by Vincent LaForet and can be seen here. Since that first attempt a number of folks have taken a stab at it and have come away with different opinions. David Stephenson (of the Lexington, KY Herald - Leader) has put together a nice piece on a young boxer which shows the sound quality using a Sennheiser MK400 mini boom and a Sennheiser wireless lav mic setup. As expected from the previous attempts with this camera the video quality is stunning and the frame grabs awesome. David does a great job of explaining what he did and how the camera helped, hindered, etc. what he was trying to do. You can see his post on this here. Really stunning quality video.

 While I was visiting his site, mophojo.com I came across an audio slide show that he did on the Santa Train which runs through three states. Exceptional work and worthy of highlighting here.
