Canon 7d Road Test

Bill Pryor · September 3rd, 2009, 07:38 PM

That's the HDMI monitoring output. The camera records 30p, which is 29.97, and the 7D does 24p, which is 23.98 (approximately).

I believe it is 1080i60 and is most likely PsF. I do not observe any combing in the signal when displayed on my (progressive scan) SmallHD field monitor.

Not sure where exactly to post this, but Phil Bloom just tweeted that his first 7D film is up...

Phil,

Thanks for the tests. I found your appletini tests informative on bokeh handling as well. Could you please post it on XR or Vimeo for download?

Thanks for doing this stuff,

Ted

Excellent film. Nothing you do is plain Phillip.

Dear Trammell,

Great, that makes much more sense.

1080psf60 would be what is required to work with the widest variety of HDMI monitors.

This is awesome Phil. Any chance we could get a night shot so we could see the low light performance?

Phil Bloom · September 4th, 2009, 05:59 PM

will be doing low light and all sorts of tests asap.

On a side note, I just wanted to say a quick thanks to Chris Hurd for running the most adult and pleasant forum around. Keep up the good work. Others can learn a lot from DVInfo.

Phil,

Any chance you could take a 2 second clip in 60P and 24P just as the file comes out of the camera so we can load into our various editing suites to check for compatibility?

Thanks for the late nite clip, it was very helpful. I'm "in" if the files are compatible with Vegas Pro 8/9!

I just wanted to say a quick thanks to Phil Bloom for the most rowsing version of "Hey Jude" that I've ever heard in a karaoke bar.

Roger Shealy · September 4th, 2009, 08:53 PM

Chris, let me guess, you didn't have a camera handy...

Chris Hurd · September 4th, 2009, 09:42 PM

The problem is that turnabout is fair play... therefore no photos.

Surely 24 fps means just that Bill? Or are you joking with me?

Chris Hurd · September 5th, 2009, 05:24 AM

Hi Tom, see http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-eo...l-listing.html -- the EOS 7D records 23.976 fps.
