Canon 5D mkII 7D & T2i – Video DSLR camera reviews

Stalman Talks Photography – Episode 4, Part 2

An overview of the top three video DSLRs out right now from Canon – the 5D markII, 7D and T2i. A tough choice, and each of these cameras has it’s roll to play.

By the way, this video was shot on the T1i, and it was a terrible experience. Moire, artifacting, auto white balance and exposure changing mid scene, it drove me up the wall. Great for stills, not so great for video.

Thanks to thecamerastore.com for loaning their demo model of the T2i, as of this writing they are hard to get a hold of around here.

    Nice review.. Why do you think the T2i is cheaper then the others? any noticable reason? I love the 7D.. Has full manual control.. not sure that the 5D has all that.
    One negative thing that we noticed with the 7D is that it overheats, it even has an icon to let you know that it is getting too hot…

    This is obstacle I face every time I record one of these videos on my own. Try focusing on yourself against a blank wall, when you’re behind the camera. It’s a total pain.

    This is one of the awkward parts of the whole convergence thing, but we will get past it. For 80% I shoot though, I really don’t mind.

    Problem with dslr on video record is lack of continous auto focus due to mirror, m4/3 like gh1 offer continous auto focus in certain lens. Canon need to make lens that is design for video capture.

    Good reviews. I like the skipping over the specs and identifying which works best from your point of view. Confirmed that I should go for the 7d.
