Especially when it’s smart enough to track faces, even specific faces.
(I know that we classy filmmaking pros are supposed to hate on autofocus, but as I wrote in the DV Rebel’s Guide, the truth is that, for the crew-of-few, it’s a nice option to have. And there’s still no video-friendly autofocus such as we find in the Panasonic GH1. Is the compression still aggressive and unfriendly to post? Probably. Does the 7D skip lines to create its HD images? Seems so.
#7D CANON FULL FRAME 720P#
I mean, we can dream of 50 and 60 fps at 1080p, but in all fairness those frame rates are usually only found at 720p even on very high-end HD cameras.Ĭombining that with the same manual control that came at long last to the 5D Mark II, and you have a camera that addresses some of the biggest shortcomings of DSLR cinematography. Canon has done with the 7D what they either could not or would not do with the 5D Mark II: they have included a plethora of useful frame rates (revised, see update below). The main reason you’re reading about the 7D here is that it records HD video. The 7D is an APS-C body, with a crop factor of 1.6. It is vastly superior in every way, except in pixel count, and by a very significant difference in sensor size. The name makes it sound like the 5D, but it is decidedly unlike it. I wonder if someday, maybe when I climb both Mount Fuji and Yellow Mountain in the same week, I will understand how Canon names their SLR bodies.
