More EOS 5D Mark II videos

A Sunday post, whatever next?! This we thought we'd share with you early though, rather than waiting for a slot next week. 

We've blogged about Edmond Terakopian before. He has been using the EOS 5D Mark II to test it for the BJP magazine. It seems he has just put the finishing touches to his first short film with the camera. Called 'Muse' it's a totally different style to the films we've seen from the EOS 5D Mark II so far. It's more like an art-house or film-noir style piece following a segment in time of the life of a young woman. 

It's very worth checking out, which you can do in either 720p at Vimeo or in full 1080p on Smugmug.

Hit the comments with your thoughts on this and the EOS 5D Mark II video mode in general. Is it worth it? Is it a waste of time? What would you do with it?

At Nikon's expense...

There's an amazing video reaction to the recently announced Nikon D3x DSLR camera on youtube. It seems that some photographers think that 8,000 US dollars is a bit too much money.

At least the Canon guys have been shooting with a fast aperture 24mm lens for some years.
On a slightly more reasoned Nikon footing there's a short selection of outtakes from the new Nikon School DVD about the Nikon flash system. Great news for Canon is that you can only buy this in the USA and there seems to be no plans to bring it over here. Cue the JoeBob show

In a return to more regular topics for this blog you should check out the initial thoughts of Ed Terakopian on the EOS 5D Mark II; it seems that Ed has a camera so that he can review it for the BJP Christmas edition - reads more like Santa stopped at Ed's door a few weeks early.
