Re: 5D at high altitude
Your 5D should work fine, as long as you keep the batteries warm.

Re: Steadicam/Glidecam for the 5DmkII?
I've been using the Hague Camcorder Stabilizer steadicam for the past few years and it works great. Like all steadicams, the more that you use them the better and smoother your footage becomes....

Re: Buy charger and aftermarket LP-E6 batteries
Mine was bought new with warranty from an Ebay seller based in Wales. DVinfo frowns on placing Ebay links on forum discussions, so I'll not add it here. There are a few different types with LCD...

Re: CF card too slow? Transcend 16GB 133x
It all depends on the scene; the more complex it is, with highlights or a lot of details in shadows as you film, then the 16GB 133X cards will sometimes cause the 5D to 'buffer' as it stutters to...

Re: Eagle strike
Great capture, Dean!
It is a very unusual head-on view that adds impact. I'm not sure if slowing the frame rate would add or detract from the impact of the strike. At normal speed it almost looks...

Re: Looking for advice on underwater shooting
The best lenses for UW with a full frame camera are 15mm, 20mm and 24mm.
If you only can use one lens and want to avoid lens changes, then use a good quality zoom. The best Canon zooms for UW are...

Re: which Nikon lenses can actually work on Canon?
Almost all Nikon Nikkor lenses can be used with the Canon 5D Mark II, but aperture control and VR will be lost when using latest AF 'G' Nikkors. This is why it is far better to use the older AF and...

I agree with Chris, and think that the XL-H1s/a were the last of the line of XL-mount camcorders (with interchangeable lenses). It was one of the reasons why I moved completely to the DSLR systems. ...

Re: New challenges for wildlife videographers
Without a doubt, if you cannot repair the XL-H1, I would go for a DSLR. Either the Mk IV, 7D or 5D. My choice is the full sensor 5D Mark II. The huge crop factor was always an advantage with the...

Re: Anyone else not a big fan of the nifty 50?
The Sigma 180mm APO f/2.8 Macro was discontinued when they launched the updated f/3.5 EX 1:1 model, so you'll need to keep an eye on Ebay for one.
Like you, I love the sharpness and handling of the...
