Canon 7D Test - 1920x1080p30 from kfenter on Vimeo.
Canon 7D with battery clip
14mm 2.8L
70-200mm 2.8L
Here are some unaltered test shots from the Canon 7D. Overall, I was testing for how the camera deals with motion, quality of the footage, and overall handling compared to a video camera.
Motion:
If you shoot with too long a shutter speed (1/15), I feel that the footage begins to have an unnatural trail, but if the shutter speed is too quick (1/120) everything looks unnaturally sharp.
Quality of Footage:
The footage is not RAW, but is compressed H264 in camera. Some of the compression begins to show noise in soft ares, and too much sharpening in contrasting areas. I also noticed the "purple edge", on some of high contrast parts of a shot. Anyway, it stills looks great even if it isn't perfect. There has been talk of a RAW video format... so...
Handling:
The 7D (even with the battery clip) is not balanced like a video camera. I did some hand held tests which seemed too shaky for handheld. The first thing I would suggest buying or building a rig to balance the camera length-wise, to mimic the long body of a video camera. Everything on the Tripod looks very nice, and adjusting the focus and zoom can be done without causes the camera to jitter.
Workflow:
I used Final Cut Pro 6.0.6 for the edit. First of all, it's so nice not having to log and capture footage from tape. The video files from the 7D are H264 so I set the sequence settings to H264, and match the frame rate and pixel dimensions of the footage. Everything plays back realtime, no rendering! When you export using the "Current Settings" the edit is not compressed again, giving you great quality and relatively small file size.
Overall:
The 7D shoots great images, and can shoot HD video, and it's cheap. That's amazing... But it needs a lot of modifications to make it handle a video camera.
