That seems like very good quality. How does that compare to the top-end consumer HD camcorders? It seems like the low light, colours, and sharpness are much much better? Feature-wise it will probably not be so good. Why aren't there any consumer-sized HD camcorders coming out with these sensors/optics?

One think I noticed was lots of blocking artifacts in the night sky, would that be from the compression used by the camera or from the processing done on the macbook pro I wonder...]]>Nov 5th 2008 6:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/ "Why aren't there any consumer-sized HD camcorders coming out with these sensors/optics?"

A consumer HD camcorder with a big senor and interchangable lenses would be expensive. The D90 is about as close as consumers can get... at $1300. It's a great still DSLR, that also happens to shoot video clips.

DSLR video probably won't appeal to most consumers for the simple fact that it doesn't have autofocus or motorized zoom. Using a DSLR to video a child's soccer game or school play would be difficult to hold onto. The D90 is not a replacement for a camcorder... but you can use it to take some video.

I'd love see a consumer HD camcorder with interchangable lenses... but, the price would begin to skyrocket out of control. The body would be well over $1000, a big zoom lens could be $400-500. It's just not a market camera manufacturers are concerned with. Canon can sell more XL-H1s to professionals... than a $2000 camcorder to families.]]>Nov 5th 2008 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/Nov 5th 2008 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/Nov 5th 2008 9:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/]]>Nov 5th 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/Nov 5th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/Nov 5th 2008 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/Nov 5th 2008 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/Nov 5th 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/05/canon-eos-5d-mark-ii-sample-video-is-very-hd-and-very-unofficial/
