EOS Bodies / Re: How often do you shoot video with your DSLR?

« on: December 25, 2011, 11:00:22 PM »

I know I'm just nitpicking, but I don't shoot video as much as I want to because dealing with the MOV files afterwards is a complete hassle and a half.  Really wish they were in a more universal container like AVI.

That being said, the reason i bought my Kiss X4 over the 50D was specifically because the kiss had video.  I shoot to capture memories, and something I've realized, and it may just be my lack of skill, but you can't capture a persons complete personality in a picture.  More specific body gestures and speaking (which is even more interesting in my case cause all my friends are speaking in non-native Japanese so  they say screwed up stuff often).

I just wanted to say this topic has been a great read as I too will be traveling to Iceland in Feb. and the most recommended lens I found was the Canon 10-22.

Just check out some of the great http://www.maxwaugh.com/sweden07/aurora5.php pictures this guy took with it.

I myself will be going with a 10-22mm, 18-200 (before I started learning about lens) and hopefully the the 50mm f1.4 or the 35mm f1.8(? might be 2).

i purchased a 10-22 and 18-200 just 2 months ago in the U.S., both without the hoods.  Though the hoods are stupid expensive.

I know that the specs aren't out yet, but I figured the new kiss x6 would at least have the digic 5 processor in it.  But what I wanted to ask, if I was looking for improved ISO performance, would it be worth the upgrade from a kiss x4 to the x5?  Or should I just wait and get the 70D when it comes out? 

Side note, I hope that they at least put two mics on the new kiss coming out, does wonders for audio fidelity.
