No real point to this as I was just practicing DSLR video, but thought I may as well share a snippet of the gorgeous welshie Shay Hendrix barely covered up surfin the net from my youtube channel:



And the HD version if your connection will stomach it:

Hi Simon, wha camera are you using. It seems quite a few people have been said to be moving to the Canon 5Ds

Hi Boc - yeah used the Canon 5D for that scene, it's a great camera but not easy to keep focus so you really need to scene base and set limits in the scene, but it's worth the extra effort I think.

Yeah, I saw that, you were looking at her cleavage and the camera preffered her hand. !!

Next time you get a chance put up a model in motion pic; I like to see if the 5 is hunting for focus.

Cheers mate

There's no auto focus on the 5D while filming so you have to manually follow focus, easier said than done with the screen at arms length, I have a bolt on viewfinder which helps but still not ideal.

Early days yet though, expect hyrbrids in the future with AF & image stabilisers etc.
