The Original Fauxhawk in Action!, originally uploaded by Hannibals Animals.
This is a test. I bought the new Canon 7D body a few days ago for many reasons. Not only have I heard great things about the performance, but I wanted to combine HD Video with my setup utilizing the same lenses. A few notes...I noticed that shooting stills, then switching to video with 1 convenient button does have a drawback. It seems that when I do switch to video, I would want to make some highlight compensations. The video seems to wash out verses the stills using the exact same settings. A minor drawback, but hey, keeping that in mind, I think the quality is pretty good...What do you think?

I love the "looking around" thing he does. He seems paranoid.

Hi Peggy,
I'm glad to see that you got the 7-D. I think that I like this camera better, the more I use it. I was working with photos the other day and I thought for a bit that I was working with one taken with the 500mmF4 as it was blistering sharp and then I realized it was the 100-400mm. I may be over-reacting, but I think it is by far the best camera I have had to date. It seems it cane make a decent zoom look as good as a prime did on my previous models. Many things get worse as we get older, but the cameras just keep getting better and better.
The video is a bit difficult to shoot compared to a dedicated camcorder and I thought my XL-H1
was taking better video, but then I put both on the same timeline and did some editing and it was hard to tell them apart-so it is good.
Here is a site to check out if you want to read more about using the 7D for video. It is a forum-probably the leading one-on video production. There is a separate section for the 7D.http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/
Also I liked the video and the photos you have posted since my last visit very much.
Congrats on the new purchase, it is fun getting new toys. I also like the video, you know from my site I went with Nikons version to take HD video to compliment the stills and just give me better and different memories.
When I watched the video with the volume up I noticed a sound that I encountered last week with my camera. After reviewing it over and over again on my videos I noticed that it was not on all my videos. I am not sure without more trials but I think when I had the sound I had left the VR on. That causes the lens to always be functioning and I think caused the tiny humming sound on mine. I do not no if you noticed it or not but that may be the reason. I have to believe Canon or Nikon works basically the same way in video mode.
I am looking forward to more videos from your new toy.
Brad
