I have the Sigma. Great for video. Not so great for stills as I find it autofocuses pretty poorly/slowly. But it's nice and sharp and a good normal lens for video. I would hesitate from shooting...

Aesthetics

While I am quite excited about the announcement of this camera, they ought to do something about the aesthetics of the camera itself. Not that it matters in the slightest but the design reminds me...

I've had the 7D since October. It has not replaced my EX-1 as the primary camera in my work, but I am using it more and more. I doubt I will ever use it more than my EX, due to the convenience of a...

Tascam DR-100 as on camera mic

I have a 7D and the Tascam DR-100 recorder. Has anybody used this combo and fed the output from either the headphone or line level output straight to the 7D to record to the 7D what the Tascam is...

I had to do the microadjustment for one of my lenses and there are good instructions online on how to do it with Live View and a focus chart. The pictures though don't look that off. Maybe back...

I own the 17-55 and it's quite nice but shot with the 24-105 the other week and think it's a great outdoor all-around lens. F4 can be fast enough for interiors but not always but I think it's the...

Rob, I wondered if people would "tech-out" over a clip like this (clearly you were joking). I posted this partly to show...content is king.

Thanks for all your kind words.

Ted, keep at it. Took us about a year. We have a whole blog about it. If you or your wife are interested in reading DM me.

Ian, I've watched it everyday and...

I got one that was like 40 bucks from the store where I bought my 7D. There was so much slop that I returned it. I ended up buying the Cameraquest one and it's very nice. It was expensive but it...

Thanks Andrew.

I do have an EX-1 and it is the camera I use for most of my jobs. I certainly would not get rid of it as I think it is an exceptional camera and for most of my work it is the...

7D on short film, with BTS shots and some video clips

We wrapped last week on shooting the web series I am DPing. This was the first real, paid gig with the 7D. I wrote a blog post about it after the first day and my experiences using the cam. Here...

Thanks Chuck. All the tests have been so far so good. This is our first so I am turning into a giant worrier.

Very glad I caught this moment on film though.

Thanks all. It's a pretty wonderful feeling. We have been trying for some time now.

It was early and I didn't want to wake up, but I am glad I did and took the time to capture this moment!

The most important thing I've shot with my 7D!

Certainly not award winning, but beautiful none the less.

Keep in mind this was at 6:30am

Interesting, I had to look up this term to see what it meant. Being used to video zooms, I sort of assumed that photo zooms all held focus throughout the zoom. Is that not the case? If so, how...

I used it a few weeks ago and got the same results. Very yellow, almost clay like skin tones. I liked the flatness for grading, but I can't really work with those skin tones. I emailed some stills...

Jerry,
Yeah, I rented a Canon 70-200 2.8 but we never used it as it was planned for the exteriors that were rained out yesterday. That lens, too, zooms internally which makes the setup easier. My...

Not a silly question. Yes it does, which is kind of annoying. For most of the interiors I didn't use the mattebox as I didn't need any filtration, so it was not a biggie, but yes, you have to...

Thoughts from using 7D for first job (with frame grabs)

After a month of testing with this camera I finally put it into play for a paid job. You can read the blog post and see a bunch of frame grabs here, but in short I think it's a great little camera:...

Boo. So I put the Remote View program on my laptop and since it is an older MacBook Pro the delay is very long. Not sure if there is a way to decrease this. On my 8-core Mac Pro it works great, but...

Sort of off-topic, but trying to figure something out I thought I heard (and hoping I am wrong). When you plug the HDMI into a monitor does it shut off the LCD on the 7D? I am hoping this is not...

Passed along by one of my sound op friends. This is thorough. The consensus...double system sound is best. But we all knew that!

This is actually really interesting as I could take a laptop out and give it to the director and still have use of the LCD screen.

I may just have to try this.

Good idea.
