EOS HD movie with manual exposure control and multiple frame rates (1080: 30p (29.97) / 24p (23.976) / 25p, 720: 60p (59.94) / 50p, 480: 60p (59.94) / 50p) - The EOS-1D Mark IV captures video with all the benefits of shooting with an EOS digital SLR. The HD recording area on the EOS-1D Mark IV is approx. 27.9mm x 15.7mm, similar when compared to the 24.89 x 18.65mm recording area of Super 35 motion picture film. By shooting video with a large sensor camera, photographers as well as videographers can take advantage of the creative features native to SLR photography. Along with its manual controls, the EOS-1D Mark IV allows for full use of Canon EF lenses, including wide angle, macro, super-telephoto, tilt-shift lenses and fisheye, providing a wealth of depth-of-field and other creative shooting options once reserved only for still photography. The resulting HD video is a standout in its stunning depth-of-field characteristics, remarkable capture capability under poor lighting conditions with its vast ISO range, and deep clean blacks with nearly undetectable noise.

When shooting HD video in AE modes, the EOS-1D Mark IV employs Center-Weighted average metering to help ensure stable motion-picture exposure with the camera automatically selecting the ISO speed, shutter and aperture. Full manual exposure control is also available while shooting video when the camera is set to Manual mode.

Video can be captured at 1920 x 1080 resolution at frame rates of 24 (23.976), 25 or 30 (29.97) frames per second, for up to 4GB per clip. Movies are saved as MOV files and can be viewed in Full HD with HDMI output. Other recording sizes include HD at 1280 x 720 (50/60 (59.94) fps) or SD/VGA at 640 x 480 (50/60 (59.94) fps). The EOS-1D Mark IV has a built-in microphone for simple mono recording and stereo sound can be recorded through a self-powered external microphone.

16.1 Megapixel APS-H CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors for high image quality and speed - The EOS-1D Mark IV features a high-resolution APS-H sized 16.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor (with a focal length multiplier effect of 1.3x) and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors that can process images at full resolution continuously up to 10 frames-per-second. The combination of the CMOS sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors help to ensure smooth, detailed and refined images that are recorded quickly, accurately and reliably. This impressive combination of speed, quality and performance will make the EOS-1D Mark IV a staple among many professional photographers, including sports photographers, and a familiar sight on the sidelines of professional sporting events.

10.0 fps continuous shooting up to 121 Large JPEGS or 28 RAW using a UDMA CF card - The EOS-1D Mark IV’s rugged, high-speed shutter can shoot up to 10.0 frames per second (fps) for up to 28 consecutive RAW files or 121 full-resolution JPEGs when used in conjunction with UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) Mode 6 CF cards. The EOS-1D Mark IV’s spectacular new 45-point high-speed AF sensor locks on and maintains focus, ensuring that the camera keeps up with its amazing shutter.

3.0-inch ClearView II LCD monitor, 160° viewing angle, 920,000-dot VGA, reflection resistance with multi coating and high-transparency materials for bright and clear viewing - The EOS-1D Mark IV features the finest Canon LCD screen to date (October 2009): the new, high-resolution, 3.0-inch ClearView II VGA LCD has 920,000 dot resolution and provides a new level of clarity and sharpness with a 160° angle of view. Its performance is admirable, not only in confirming focus and composition, but in composing and shooting in Live View mode, or when shooting video. It features a tempered glass protective cover with an anti-reflective film and a new resin filling between the actual LCD and glass cover that helps minimize internal reflections and further improves visibility in bright viewing situations. During image playback, pressing the illumination button displays an LCD brightness screen, so brightness can be adjusted quickly and easily.

CONON EOS 7D

2011-08-10T11:29:00.000+05:30

Things are moving very quickly in the world of DSLR HD, or HDSLR as the format has now been termed. It seems that every month a new camera enters the spotlight, and now Canon is fighting back with the new 7D. The Canon 7D is not a replacement for the 5D Mark II, it's a new camera that is even more video oriented. First off, the sensor is smaller that the 5D, which means that it is not quite as sensitive and won't perform quite as well in low light. Second, the depth of field won't be as shallow as it is on the 5D, and third, lenses intended for the 35mm chip size (as in the 5D) won't be as wide on the 5D. So, this new APS-C sensor is smaller, but it's actually the same size as the RED's sensor, and 35mm motion picture film (which is smaller than 35mm still negative, go figure). In that case, from the point of view of a filmmaker, it's not really much of a loss. Plus, even though the depth of field is not as shallow, the difference is enough to make it easier to focus but not enough to loose that 35mm movie look.

But the news doesn't stop there, the 7D has a real 24p mode, and 30p, and 25p all in full HD 1080 resolution. Next, it also has 720p60 and 720p50 modes, meaning that if you don't mind going down in resolution for a shot, you can get real slow motion! Other fantastic video friendly features include a dedicated video button, manual exposure controls and better monitor output. It's also $1,900, which is $900 less than a 5D.

So, for a filmmaker, the 7D is definitely the right choice when it comes to a Canon. It may not be as high end of a still camera, but for video features, it has the necessities of a film camera. Here are some great samples of what you can do with the 7D in the right hands:

RED ONE

2011-08-09T09:08:00.000+05:30

The camera that started a revolution in digital cinema. From its humble beginnings, rising from a smoke cloud of intrigue, labeled a scam and claimed to be impossible technology, the RED ONE has materialized as one of the most significant American inventions of the 21st Century. With over 5 times the resolution of an HD video camera, the RED ONE has earned its rightful place as the successor to 35mm film acquisition. The RED ONE has been responsible for creating thousands of films, from independent to Hollywood blockbuster, as well as a growing impact on the capture of episodic television. In the short span of three years, RED has come to dominate the music video and television commercial landscape, as well. Wherever 35mm film once tread, the RED ONE has emerged, bringing with it the advantages of lower cost, lighter weight, same hour dailies, brilliant workflow and grainless, organic images.

Silicon Imaging SI-2K Digital Cinema Camera

2011-08-07T11:45:00.000+05:30

The full-reatured, all-in-one portable design of the Silicon Imaging SI-2K combines a digital cinema class 2048x1152 resolution camera head, IRIDAS color-management technology, and the power of CineForm RAW™, to deliver a direct-to-disk raw recording platform with unprecedented image quality and shooting flexibility. It's low-noise, high-dynamic range images, with over 11 f-stops of dynamic range via an on-chip 12-bit A/D converter, are freely manipulatable with user-generated IRIDAS .look files, creating a "blank-slate" for the cinematographer to freely express his or her vision. IT-friendly connectivity through integrated 802.11g wireless access, Touchscreen interface, Anton-Bauer battery-powered operation, and up to 4-hours of continuous shooting on a 160GB notebook hard drive round out an impressive array of digital cinema firsts in the industry.

The Silicon Imaging SI-2K uses a single large 16:9 format 2/3” CMOS sensor, with it's design enabling the use of lower-cost 16mm film-style lenses, eliminating the optical aberrations caused by a 3-chip prism assembly. Shooting flexibility is enhanced with its interchangeable optical assembly, supporting the use of high-quality modern cinema PL-mount lenses as well as affordable and compact C-mount lenses. The integral support for 15mm lightweight rods and direct attachment of 19mm ARRI style bridge-plate adapters make the SI-2K an ideal platform for the latest in follow-focus attachments, matte boxes, and other cinema-style gear and accessories. An industry standard, Anton-Bauer Gold-Mount is used for battery power and portable operation. For situations too extreme or space-limited for the camera operator to maintain direct physical operation, the SI-2K features the ability to remotely tether the camera head via gigabit ethernet over long distances while maintaining full control of the camera. The separable camera head's built-in power regulator allows battery operation from 5-17VDC with a miniscule 6W of power consumption. For very long distances, off-the-shelf fiber optic converters can be added to extend distances past the threshold of copper-based gigabit.

The SI-2K captures full resolution, DCI-compliant 2K and 1920 x 1080 progressive-scan 12-bit raw images for use in both digital cinema projection and HD television or optical disk environments. It uses Silicon Imaging's proprietary 48-bit digital processing algorithms to perform adaptive pixel-by-pixel black calibration and color image enhancement.

Standard 2K and 1080P resolutions can be recorded at up to 30fps. Special Effects and off-speed shooting modes include a variety of overcranking and undercranking options. Slow-Motion shots can be captured at speeds up to 72fps in 720P mode, 3-times the nominal 24P film rate. Long-duration events are captured using the time-lapse recording feature or using the long exposure mode, which accumulates light over several frame times to exaggerate motion for streak-style effects.

The SI-2K was used for Slumdog Millionaire, a feature film from Fox Searchlight, directed by Danny Boyle, DP Anthony Dod Mant
