Hi,
i bought a 7d kit (18-135) because of the enthusiastic people who tried it and because of the wonderful vimeo videos, I think that this is an excellent photocamera but in video mode my 1080p is full of an effect that i think is a sort of "edge enchanement" so i don't have detail. Is that possible or is an effect that i can disable?


Thank you :-)

I'm talking about a noise reduction a strong noise reduction filter in video...
Anyone knows something?

If you are saying that the video you shoot is noisy you should take a look at this Neat Video :: filtration examples (http://www.neatvideo.com/examples.html) Several people here on the board use it and say very good things about it.

Video from all the DSLRs have very poor detail combined with aliasing. If you don't mind the aliasing artifacts, you only get the equivalent of about 720p, even though it's contained in a 1080p file. If you need full 1080p resolution or a camera that doesn't have aliasing artifacts, the 7D will not be able to provide that. But most people fine that camera is sufficient for their needs despite the low resolution and artifacts.

You need to do some reading and come up with the settings to produce good video for your application.

Neat noise suppression is very effective on the 7D. It does slow the render down about 5x though.

First thing I did was pick one of the settings (Natural), took the "sharpness," which is edge enhancement, way down and desaturated the color, and then it's pretty nice. As posted above there are tons of settings you can download to tweak it the way you want, and the 1080p is very, very nice. I've never seen a camera you could use effectively right out of the box.
