My short experience with Eos 5D Mark II

Hi, I'm sorry if my english is bad.
I have the camera since two weeks ago. My experience is very good. I'm from Europe, so I would like to have 25 fps, but for internet, 30 is OK.
I'm waiting a new firmware and may be 25 will be there.
Y can control the iris aperture switching off the lens.

The procedure to edit footage for me is:
1) Premiere pro 2.0 in a pc
2) Import clips to a 1920X1080 30fps project (it runs very bad)
3) Export to a 1440X1080 30fps in mpeg2 (15 min. aprox 1,5 hours rendering)
4) open a new project with the new settings. And it runs perfect.
5) edit like HDV

I show you a video I uploaded to youtube. "In The park"

Nice job!

Can I ask what lens and tripod support you were using?

Thanks,

I'm impressed!!

Thanks for the reply.

I'm looking at purchasing a 5d MII and using it for wildlife stuff. I'm currently a still photographer getting into video.

I look foward to seeing more of your work.

Thanks,
Vince
