5d fieldtest /streetsport

Ok so I pulled together a quick edit of last week's Streetsport.
The edit - well, it is what it is, several clips put together. The film quality - well that's a different story.



To compare - the previous streetsport clip I put features almost  exactly the same lighting conditions. The only difference was it was shot with 500d.



The difference is pretty significant. Again - good to have both. If the overheating issue is as serious as some say (I don't think a powerplant would overheat in this cold... guess will have to wait until it's warmer to actually find out) I could always swop bodies and leave the other one for a rest.

I had some doubts about the reason behind using DSLR for video recently. Is it because it's cheaper and easier to use than a professional video camera? Or do we actually 'feel the vibe' and enjoy the different/better quality these little babies produce?

There are already enough people arguing over the statement above so no reason for me to join the battle. Facts are better than opinions and the fact here is - due to large size of the sensor the DSLR (especially full-frame) can beat any camera in low light conditions.
Turns out it is appropriate, and worth it.
