EOS Bodies / Re: 5D Mark III with Continuous RAW Video Recording

« on: May 13, 2013, 10:00:24 AM »

This is all beautiful, and I'm very happy for 5DMarkIII owners, but... what about Canon 1Dx
Double with price, and still with no Canon or ML firmware to some major upgrade in video for our expensive camera!?
Now, 5DMarkIII will have better video capabilities, better picture in video, raw video recording... and 1Dx - NO !
Great, just great... that's why 1Dx cost more than 2 x 5DMarkIII so we could have less quality for double the price.
Wonderful... beautiful... great...

Hello everyone,

Few days ago I was at birthday party of my sister-in-law.
I wanted to make few memory shots for her, just for fun, and instead of just few, I made this video of combination of bunch of pictures and video clips.
Everything was filmed entirely with Canon 1Dx.
Music by A-trak (Heads will roll) and W&W (Lift off! - radio edition)
Pay attention at the end of video... it's not over till it's over!
Watch in HD!
I hope you liked it...

Thanks RGF 
I shoot only raw with Canon 1Dx (12fps) combined with only 2 lenses that I have at the moment (16-35 f2.8 & 70-200 f2..
About the camera settings... well, most of my shots were on fixed ISO 3200, but that also depends on light situation that was changing constantly during the show, so it's a bit hard to give exact receipt for right in-camera settings.
I was changing from f2.8 - f4.0 on both lenses, shutter speed was  at approx. 1/200-1/250 for clear shots, and 1/80-1/125 for blurred motion effect, depending on the speed and movement of dancers.
For slide show muic background I included music from Marcus Füreder - Parov Stelar, austrian musician, producer, DJ...
Name of the song is Catgroove.
I'm glad you liked it

Uh...  thanks... so many complimets and nice words, but...
I am only amateur with very good camera.
I am like in a 1st grade of elementary school in photography.
I calculated something... if I continue to learn about photography, and shoot on a daily basis, than, perhaps, I could finish photo-elementary school before I die  ... and than high school, and college in my next life 
I have to find save option somewhere in my soul, so I could continue my learning about photography in afterlife 
Seriously, this was my second shooting of dance in my life, and there is much more room for improvement.
But, I'm not in a rush... I have a lifetime to improve myself.

... and, YES, please buy Canon 1Dx... it is completely different story, when you lay your hands on this beauty, you will forget everything you thought you knew about this "sport"

Thank you for you positive comment rpt.
I shoot only raw, so... 12fps is quite enough, anything more than that will look more like video, and less like photo slide show.

Dylan777... yes... 1Dx is a king of the dark! 
Speed, low light and shadows are it's strenght,  allowing me to be much more creative.
The only limit is my imagination.

Now, I just have to imagine much, much more

Thanks Mr. Bean, I couldn't agree more with you.
Canon 1Dx is indeed powerful tool.

Thanks Click, Quasimodo, Eli 
First I had to correct all 800 pictures in Lightroom and Photoshop, and than I "connected" them in Proshow Producer 5. Magnificent and very user friendly program, and it's not to expensive. Ideal for simple editing of pictures and video.
Thanks again for your comments

No worries. Archangel says bigger is better, right?  If the 1D X is impressive on its own, just think how much more impressive it would be inside a big ol' sound blimp.

  now that's a kind of answer I like to hear 
Thanks for "breaking" this serious conversation Neuro.
I'm always more for fun and smile, than for fight, just... I don't like constant complaining about same stuff, like weight, size and shutter noise.
It's a free market, buy what ever you like if you can afford it.
Unfortunately I'm not that rich, I lost my job in furniture sales 3 years ago, and ever since than I'm trying to do my best with photography.
I don't have money to buy 5-6 different cameras, and same amount of different lenses, so, when I had to choose just one camera, I chose Canon 1Dx.
I agree with the statement, that if you can afford 1Dx and 5DMarkIII, that it's probably better to choose "silent one" for church and similar situations, but... I can do that, so,  I have "thick skin" and have to improvise.
I could put 1Dx between two small cushions and... voila... silent mode ON

Silent shutter mode should "ease the pain" little bit there.
Last year I shoot dedication of the church.
Many high ranked church people were there.
Everything was extremely quiet.
And if I managed to shoot entire ceremony in 1Dx "shutter normal - loud mode", without a single complain of bishop and others, than I really can't find situation where I couldn't shoot with my 1Dx.
Here is the link to the mentioned ceremony:
