Canon has always exhibited a curious ignorance about frame rates and progressive scanning, dragging its ass for years after Panasonic started offering true 24P on its consumer camcorders. They persisted in marketing fake "frame" modes on interlaced cameras. It seems they still haven't learned that people want 24P. How hard can it be?]]>Sep 9th 2009 6:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/Sep 9th 2009 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/

It is a digital camera first. Everything will always be a compromise.]]>Sep 8th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/Sep 8th 2009 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/
They're just going to have to figure out how to locate the buffers behind the sensor array, or make it so you can turn half the lines into buffers only when in video mode. Then I can take 25MP pictures and in video mode the 12MP sensors will still be plenty to render a 2MP 1080P video. Or they can alter the microlenses so that they reduce the sensor site sizes but still get all the light on them, preserving the signal (amount of light gathered) and therefore the signal to noise ratio.

Right now, HD camcorders use CMOS sensors too, even though they are dedicated video cameras and therefore don't have the same excuse as dSLRs. Those will have to change to eliminate rolling shutter, and once they figure it out, maybe it'll be adapted to cameras too.

Or perhaps it'll just be the same thing that people megapixel boobirds say. Maybe we'll have so many megapixels that we have far outstripped the optical path and so trading a little image quality off won't be a big concern to people next to improved video mode.]]>Sep 8th 2009 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/Sep 8th 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/
Most famously, even the recent Oscar winning movie, Slum Dog Millionare, had rolling shutter problems since it was filmed with a CMOS based Silicon Imaging SI-2K (which is a $65,000+ camera). The likelihood is that you didn't even notice it when you were watching the film.

Also, in regard to a "camera that costs as much as these do." $2-3k for a video camera is absolutely dirt-cheap. 1/3" sensor camcorders easily hit over $10,000. Relative to what you get with these video dSLRs, they are dirt cheap.

Also, yes, CCD sensors use a global shutter and do not have rolling shutter issues. The only video camera that has a super 35mm-sized CCD sensor is the Sony CineAlta F35/Panavision Genesis (used in movies like Superman Returns, Fantastic Four, 21, etc). But that camera costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and is the only way to insure you have absolutely "any amount" of rolling shutter for a sensor the size of what the 7D is offering.. ]]>Sep 8th 2009 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/canon-eos-7d-24p-footage-tries-to-make-indie-filmmakers-chain/

I have noticed a lot of these pros doing 5DMkII or 7D videos that looks amazing, they don't move the camera for most of their shots.
