Nice work. What am I doing in Cambridge, Massachusetts?!!

Looks great. Especially when you download the original MP4 instead of watching the embedding Vimeo video (which contains terrible compression artifacts as usual with Vimeo) --- Africa. Would love to go there someday!

By the way - what's up with the shot at 00:24 - looks like it's 'off' somehow, looks over-sharpened in a way - or is it just me? And did I catch a Warp Stabilizer in there ;-) ...

I think it's probably because its so contrasty. A couple of shots were warp stabilized. It's quite an ask hand holding a 400mm (effectively 600mm) lens :-)

Nice. So a 1.5x crop factor? Do you use the camera's zoom facility?

ps I love the Kruger Park.

Yes, 1.5 crop. The camera does not have a zoom facility (that I am aware of), unless you are referring to the EF-S mode?

Owen great shots. How do you find the C100 over DSLRs? I'm very interested in getting one myself.

The image is a great improvement over the 5DII in terms of the amount of detail captured and much reduced aliasing and rolling shutter issues. Usability is also much improved: XLR audio, waveforms, peaking, etc make for much more efficient operation without needing external monitoring, and audio recording. It is a significantly bigger camera though.
