I decided to trade my Panasonic L1 & Olympus lenses in for the 5D mkII & 50mm f/1.2 L glass (had to pay $1500 on top of trade-in)

I like the 5D a lot

(but you have to be very steady when shooting video)


Here's my first shot from the 5D mkII

If that picture came out of your 5d2 I'd send it back. It has horrible jpg artifacts. Maybe you had it set to a very low jpg resolution?

I expect the video to look better than what I'm seeing. I'm guessing that it's just really compressed for posting.

I had to compress it way to much to get it onto web.

I have since noticed 50mm needs ajustment, I think front focusing.
