November 14th, 2008Canon’s 5D Mark II: The World’s First Forbidden HD Video, Finally Official!!
November 11th, 2008During some free time from work David (photographer) and Florent (video editor forNihonCar.com and ManualGear.com), put together a STUNNING Canon 5D Mark II video demo. We noticed it was made without technical support, only two little hands to carry the camera, and a MacBook Pro for video editing.
One word, congrats!!!!!!
Our setting were pretty simple, we used a Canon 5D Mark II, with the following Canon lenses:
14mm f2.8L II
17-40mm f4L
50mm f1.4
90mm TS-E f2.8
135mm f2.0L
…along with your average MacBookPro 15″ (old gen). No color FX on the video.
