Re: Video shot with Canon 60D

Stelios, I don't think that will be near enough ND. I have an ND8 (3 stops), and it's often not enough when it's very bright outside, and I end up stopping down to the 5.6 range. I have a Fader ND, but it's a touch softer than a straight ND.

To "cover your bases," I'd get a 4-stop ND (ND16, or 1.2). Then, you'll be able to shoot wide-open when it's bright, or add a little ISO when it's not.

A Fader-style ND is the most convenient (since it's infinite), but I still contend that they take away a bit of sharpness and some models will alter color.

OK Brian thanks. What about this ND filter then?

Yes, those have gotten very good reviews. I think there are four brands of the variable ND filters on the market today. Each with different price points and levels of quality.
