here's some more footage of the 5D mark2 with two different lenses; the first being my favorite lens, the 50mm F1.2L lens; and the second being the 24-105mm F4 IS L lens. For those of you unfamiliar with canon lens terminology, 'L' stands for 'Luxury'. According to canon, "these lenses use special optical technologies [such as] Ultra-low Dispersion UD glass, Super Low Dispersion glass, Fluorite elements, and Aspherical elements to truly push the optical envelope."
Also, IS stands for Image Stabilisation which as the canon rep in the second video discusses, is arguably better than in-body stabilisation methods. The reason, i'm not sure, but i AM sure that he believes it with all his heart. Anyway.. here's the vids!
p.s. you might want to watch them in HD!

Broadcast Video Expo - Earls Court
I went to the Broadcast Video Expo event at Earls Court on Weds 18th Feb 09 with a videographer friend of mine. The equipment there was absolutely awesome! From consumer products to high end cinematography equipment such as the RED range of pro video cameras (which have a res of 4x 1080P!)
I got to play about with the Canon 5D MKII on a Steadicam Merlin. I obviously hadnt mastered the technique required to use it like the pros do but after 5 mins or so i was used to the silky smooth motion it gave and how to control it. After figuring out how to record from live-view on the 5D MKII I recorded this video... (please rate it and subscribe!) - its best to watch it in HD via the link from youtube.

Venice - the Biennale
An image from Venice that i quite like. It is the side of a pavillion by the river. It is essentially a mirrored glass box with the inside painted red and a tall tree standing directly in the centre of it.
Sunny :p
