Moiré & aliasing free Canon 7D is here! T2i,T3i,60D,D800 soon

Remember when we first heard about the Mosaic Engineering anti-aliasing / anti-moiré filter for 5D mark II in August of 2011? What a great invention that would solve our biggest problem with HDSLR.

Now that the 5D mark III is out, healed from moiré problems, people have a good reason to upgrade, but then there’s the issue with the price: The 5D mark III is $3500, hefty for many HDSLR shooters.

How good that the guys over at Mosaic Engineering have now officially started selling their filter for the 7D: The VAF-7D.
This upgrade will set you back by $325, but put you into the aliasing and moiré free realm of the mark III.

Versions for the Nikon D800, T2i/T3i and 60D are in production.

Canon 5D mk2 pricedrop again

I hope you didn’t buy it when prices were down last week, because now prices are even downer. B&H sells it for $1999 and shipping is free.

Only through this link:

The 5D mark II is BACK – healed from moiré and aliasing!!!

Filming with the 5D mark 2 like a boss? Oh yes you are, with an amazing new invention by Dave Cubanski from Mosaic Engineering!

It’s a $385 box shaped filter that you place between your sensor and lens that will apparently improve your 5D mk2 image to the max, namely removing the two major testicle itchers of our favourite no-update-in-sight-DSLR video camera: Aliasing and moiré.

What are the downsides? It looks like the filter is causing a slight shift in your back focus meaning that the focus marks on your lenses could be slightly off.

Canon 5D mkII vs. Canon T2i (550D)

Dave Dugdale from learningdslrvideo.com brings us a very nice Canon camera comparison once again. This time around he compares the 5D mark2 allstar hdslr camera to the 3 times more affordable Canon T2i (550D).

So can the 5D’s video mode justify it’s price over the T2i? Dave doesn’t think so.
What do you think?
