That is incredible, Don. Is the video from the 5d MKII as good a quality as this?

That's a sweet video Don. Thanks for posting the link. The mix of wildlife video and still shots is awesome.

You might also be interested in this video shot on the new Canon 1D Mark IV by former NY Times photographer Vincent Laforet. He shot some interesting stuff previously with the 5d MkII shortly after it was released too. Ah, competition! Very cool.

The 5DMKII's frame rate also got an update.

As a Nikon owner that's pretty nice. Now if we can just get them to catch up in the video resolution. 720p is so 4 years ago. :biggrin:

720 may be so four years ago but it is the industry standard in TV. However with that said it would be nice if Nikon would let us decide on format, pixel count and length of video. The video coming out of the D3 is AVI to my understanding and you will need to convert it before working with it in finial cut. Why did they do that? Canon still leads the DSLR/video game IMO.
