UPDATE
There have been more than a few people disputing the claim I received by the Bui Brothers!
To be honest, it is the first time I've had someone claim such a thing.
For example, here's a commercial for the Florida Marlins shot with the 5D2.
Thanks Will
So for now, I have no idea what the answer is to the trivia question. I apologize for the misinformation.
The Bui Brothers do it first…
A J!INX clothing commercial will become a camera geek trivia answer in the future. The entire commercial is shot with the Canon 5D Mark II. That makes it the first US commercial to be shot 100% with the camera.
You can read about it at their blog.

I’m currently shooting a feature with the 5D2. Follow focus even at @ 50 f/2 is a challenge. You might think you got it, but when you check the footage later…
Of course, the camera is so sharp a little softness isn’t always a bad thing.
Depends on what you mean by BIG. The Canon 5D MkII has a 21 Megapixel sensor and the RED 1 has a 12 Megapixel sensor (24.4mm x 13.7mm).
The Canon 5D MkII shoots HD Video (1920×1080). The RED 1 can deliver 4K, 3K, 2K as well as HDTV.
BTW 4k is the length of the long side, so 4,000 has much more resolution than 1920.
So which one is really bigger??? And can provide the better picture???
Big as in bigger sensor. The 5D2 sensor is 24.0 x 36.0 mm, it could have *potentially* blown the Red One out of the water. The fact Red can get 4K out of a smaller sensor was my point there as Canon has limited the video size to H.264 1920×1080 AND on top of that they crippled the HDMI output so you can not capture to a higher bit rate or even monitor the video you’re shooting in HD – it only *plays* in HD through the HDMI port after it has been saved to H.264.
Too bad that vimeo link is unwatchable and unlistenable.
