Korean "Mark2 Movi - Prism"


--- I won't be adding more clips here. Prerealse time is over. ---

Do I get a prize of some kind for being the first poster ?

A 5D MkII would do.

Take a look at the clips from here : http://www.dpreview.com/previews/canone ... page15.asp

there is one frame in each clip that goes almost completely grey scale... very odd... I guess it could be from rendering the footage out for the web maybe...

Not at all... web compression doesn't go * like that... I believe that zombie frame is from a beta camera with beta firmware...
Let's hope this is corrected in the final product, or the 5D is doomed for serious video (as we all seem to be interested in).

Concerning the Zombie frame, I almost wonder if it was Dpreview's flash cards or something. An I/O write error, card not writing fast enough, ect. Anyway, I don't see it in any of the other clips.

It would be a real challenge to find a card that can't write at least 5MB/s nowadays... Unless DPR is close to bankruptcy, they certainly use decent cards
It's true that it's not visible in any other clip, Canon or Laforet.

Obviously Canon would not post a footage with a bad frame. They have 1000's of hours and video from Canon 5D so they could choose it. So did Laforet. He probably wasn't even editing it. Still, there is a possibility that it happened to all of them and if it did to Canon, they will fix it. There would be a serious problem if every 40 seconds there were a bad frame like this. That would be a lot of returns from people like us in this forum. BTW Hello I am a new guy. I wanted to buy HV20 or then HV30 but now I am holding off for 5D II, I was thinking about upgrading my Canon 10D and 20D too so I could kill two birds with one stone here. Camcorder and Camera

Simpsons Chess:

Simpsons Chess

This one is quite bewildering. The camera chose a huge aperture, getting the effect we all want. But it could have chosen to up the ISO and stop down the lens. Let's hope it always makes such choices (or that a firmware update at least gives us a shiftable video mode like P is between aperture and shutter speed)

Could you not simply point the camera at a dark subject (or even lens cap it) hit the * button to lock aperture/ISO and then use the exposure compensation to control exposure ?
