DSLR Movie Mode
My cameras have had the ability to take movies for years now. I've taken a few on purpose. Anytime my server loads up movies off the camera they just get moved to a directory called "movies". I'm looking through that directory now. It appears that movie mode is far to easy to enable, as most of my movies are best summarized as "wind noises and rocks", followed closely by "wind noises and the sky". We should be well past the point where camera manufacturers look back on movie mode and say, "well that was a dumb idea," but for some reason they haven't.

I shoot mostly stills, but when the situation calls for it, my Canon 7D does an admirable job with both video and audio. Jul 20 14 07:49 pm Link When I got my DSLR, (a Canon Rebel), I was going to get the 50D but that camera was about $500 more and had no movie mode at all. The movie mode is something that is important for me. Yes, I get wind noise too (I can't think of a way to put a filter on the built in mic and there is no input for an external mic) but that just means dub in some sound from somewhere else later. It's not that critical at this point. If it were, I'd have a dedicated video camera with an external mic and a windscreen. Jul 21 14 03:57 am Link Today, I'm using my D800 to make a short film. I won't have any movie files of gravel and wind noise. Maybe your fingers are too fat. Jul 21 14 04:04 am Link Good Egg Productions wrote: You deserve a prize!
