Pretty good, but it's not a great idea to cut -exactly- to the music's beat - too obvious. Try a bit more syncopation when cutting video to music.

I shot commercial video for decades and never used AF. Period. It is a feature for amateurs and novices - fine for video of kids playing soccer. Pros cannot use it because it is unreliable and will...

Hoodcrane!

Just got this, and it works quite well!

I like the Hoodcrane too, but it is difficult to move the spring switch to flip up with one hand. It seems you need to put camera down on something and use two hands.

Have you found a better way?

IMO, a 3X Loupe like Zacuto's makes it hard to focus as one sees the pixels too large. I use a 1X Hoodman loupe and critical focus is quite easy. That said, it could be that my glasses (left on while...

I would look at the T2i - half the price of the 7D with the same video quality, has 24/30/60fps and nicer 3:2 LCD. And, Magic Lantern will soon be available for T2i!

I have Vegas 9 Pro but I prefer to use Pinnacle 14 as it edits MOV files right out of the box in full resolution. Vegas makes me go through all types of transcoding hoops, and its output looks no...

I've used the Transcend class 6 cards for years with T1 and T2 - always performed flawlessly.

I would look somewhere else for solutions to issues.

CPU is about 25-40% during playback. I have 8GB RAM. No artifacts, preview/playback identical to original. In fact, I drag files into Pinnacle immediately just to look at them.

I tried the 701 head, but it was much heavier than the 700RC, didn't really make it with the light Slik tripod. 701 was extremely smooth, smoother than the 700RC, but the 700 was smooth enough, and I...

Certainly cheap and bad is not desirable!

Weight is relevant, DSLRs (T2i in particular), unless using a very heavy lens, is very light. It's small weight can be well supported by a light tripod,...
