With the 7d out, I guess I now know what I will be buying as a replacement for my backup body... A big change this film dslr stuff, at least it is for me...we must keep an open mind with it...Naturally I would like to have access to the raw footage and 24p...but considering the features and the price...man...I am amazed that there are so many crying babies out there... If we start taking those tools for what they are, that is a new way to shoot video and stop comparing them to the good old days then you can start using them in places where they enhance your abilities...another blade in the swiss knife...like in some specific situations such as in low light. I am just amazed at what I was able to do with the mk2 and a few candles!...Just play with it, you will be flabergasted...each camera has a specific image texture...those new babies have alot of interesting textures we can exploit... To me these are just new tools in the arsenal, just another color on the palet of our creative means...It does not have to replace anything...why not see them as adding to the offering...why either or...why not see them as augmenting our tool set. Who said that you can't shoot with both pro video cams AND a DSLR or two... And Thomas, its not only the Nikon folks that are morons...you should try to get through at Canon...man...talk about frustrating... Personally, I just love those wars...it just makes our lives interesting (and our walets thinner...). Lets see what they come out with to make the gear we just bought obsolete again...And Nikonists, not to worry...odds are that Nikon will get to your walet soon enough....Thank god for credit cards!...

Anytime i wrote Nikon about the drawbacks of they DSLR they flatly denied just everything and i gave serious advices (who am i?) to push the development because people will ran their doors an buy their cameras like warm bread rolls if the improve the functions. This is just a good example that a too strict hierarchy inside a company where no one will listen to each other nor to the community outside is just a rollercoaster ride into nowhere. fact is, canon did listen and developed a tripple times better DSLR than before. Rolling shutter of course is still a really bad issue, and if you read some blogs and tech sites it's proven that CCD chips are not more expensive than CMOS, so the argument about that is not true.

Agreed. I've got the 5d Mk2 and was almost about to buy a Nikon lens mount adapter to give me manual control over aperture and then Pow! Canon updates the firmware and give the 5D2 full manual control - With stunning results. I've shot a TV pilot and two commercials on mine and the results are farken amazing. It'll be nice if Canon bring the 24p, 60p frame rates from the 7D to the 5d2 via a firmware. I'm curious to see how Nikon responds, as Canon probably doesn't want to cannibalise its high-end HD video cameras too much.
