Got a Canon 5D mk II today. It’s a great bit of kit with some nice increments from the old 5D. Best of all though is the addition of a HD video mode. You can see the results here:
And the you can see them in super duper extra ultra rez HD here:

Being able to use your SLR lenses is a massive boon, everything looks so nice it’s amazing. It is trickier to use than a standard HD vide camera, there’s not autofocus once you start shooting and the huge control you have over the image also means you can get a little overwhelmed by the options available to you. Even so I’m sure a bit of time will get me used to it.
In other news we’re off to Scotland next week, should be good to visit there but this time taking Suzey and Charlie. Hopefully I’ll be able to post a bit more with some pics and vids

While you’re up there Gaz, please shoot me a 5D mkII HD video of a Glaswegian tramp sleeping in his own filth.
