Canon EOS 5D Mark II, I’ll dream of you tonight.

The above is a scaled down frame capture nabbed from a video taken with the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Go watch it first and then come back. Back? Good. Impressive wasn’t it? The remarkable thing about it, the thing that really blew me away, was the camera isn’t a video camera, it’s a digital SLR (single lense reflex) camera. I’ll blather on some more after the cut.
Yeah, that kind of camera. Granted it had some rather fabulously expensive lenses on it during the shoot, but that’s still pretty impressive. It’s an impressive 21.1 Megapixel camera with fancy sensor stuff inside I don’t even pretend to understand but you flip it over to video mode and you can capture 1920 x 1080 resolution High Definition video. Probably fill up your card pretty quick, but it’s a small price to pay.
Well maybe not small. $2699.00. For the body. Lense not included. I don’t think my recent raise is going to cut it.
If you’re interested in geeking out over specs, have a peek here. And if you’ve recently come into a substantial amount of money and are feeling philanthropic, keep me in mind.
Here’s some behind the scenes video from the shoot.
