Canon EOS5DmkII – Sample Video Using Nikkor, Zeiss Lenses
Say what you will about Canon, but this video taken with the EOS5D-mkII looks pretty good to my eyes- it’s even shot at night and I can’t see any particular noise or anything. It’s on a tripod, so there’re no jello shots.
It’ll be interesting to see if the D3x has video or when we’ll be seeing a top of the line Nikon body with video.
I’d love to see the same thing compared against the drool-inducing 85mm f/1.2.

Drool worthy is right, I may not be a fan of the images in comparison to those taken by a Nikon, but the video is definitely worth a gander. I don’t need it in my pro body, but it would be fun in something like a D800.

The whinning will start soon. It took a team of pros 12 hours to edit this video in 1080 HD on high end equipment. Those who think they can use and edit video like a camcorder will be in shock. Image a RED with even higher resolution, it will take $20,000 computers and $10,000 software to edit efficiently. Eventually, the price of more powerful software and equipment will drop, but early adapters beware.
There are lots of people out there who can and will put the camera to good use, but many who will buy it for video are unprepared. At least, the D90 video can be handled by most computers.
