Vincent Laforet Takes Canon 5D For A Spin


If you've been wondering what Canon's new 5D Mark II is capable of -- especially the high definition 1080p video the camera can shoot -- Vincent Laforet has created a video called "Reverie" that takes the camera for a spin. Of special note is how high the ISO is set on these images (1600 and higher!) and the mouth-watering, feature film-look depth-of-field effects Laforet is getting from the lenses he is using. Canon's 5D outguns Nikon's D90, which also has the ability to shoot high definition video (albeit only 720p, not 1080p). But the 5D costs $1700.00 more -- $2700.00, versus $1000.00.
