WOW 5DII video

Sorry if this has been posted but I just saw it. This is incredible, I thought the video would really only be usable if the camera was stationary or tripod mounted but this proves otherwise. I cant wait for this camera.

Oh great . Like I needed to see that!! I'm not looking at this Mr. Canon marketing machine .. You'll never convince me to list my 5D on ebay and then try consignment just so I can upgrade to this body! I'm not even going to consider it. Anyone wanna buy a 5D?

Numerous times it has but is pretty nice.

Stunning. Filming with a TS-E lens will be so fun!

I was already sold on this camera way before it came out... And wasn't really interested in the video side of it but after seeing this. Who do I have to sell to get this right now??

The behind the scenes movie is even better!

My wife's going to kill me.

There is no doubt the footage is stunning, but there is still a question of how it handles motion, ie panning quickly, etc. They are using a gyro attached to the base of the camera in some of the shots to aid stabilization.

Anyway, have just seen the first online price here in Australia, $3999 AUD ($3220 USD) http://camerasdirect.c​om.au/
so I wouldn't be complaining about the cost if you live in the US

Wow!

Who put them prices out?

I wouldn't worry about the crazy prices some AUS mum and dad retailers put out for this camera mate.

Wait until some of the AUS based internet stores and importers get a hold of the camera and I think you will find the prices are much closer to the USA, we will see.

For example one of the AUS online retailers sells the current 5D new for US $1992.00 , I think that is cheaper then the new price in the USA. Hence I don't think they will sell the 5D2 for that much more then the USA market, least I hope they wont .

I just got off the phone to a local Canon importer here in AUS and he can't lock in a price until they hit our shores but he told me he doesn't expect to be selling it for more then AUS $3300, that's approx US $2740 given the current exchange rate.

Im happy with that.

SWEET!!! I want one, and the wife approves!!!
