EOS 7D commercial

<p>For those of you who haven't seen this: Go to Youtube and check out the Canon EOS 7D commercial. Owners of this camera are gonna be feeling pretty pleased with themselves when they watch it!</p>

<p>Perhaps your thread should be in Casual Photo Conversations? But, is this the YouTube link? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llHJF7kpciw</p>

<p>I believe he is referring to these two, also found on FM forums with exact same head line<br>

However, I could not see a 7D in there anywhere, just 5DmkII's? Maybe the actual footage was from a 7D?<br>

<p>Yes, Peter, that's the one. Even made this Nikonian's heart beat faster! No, Enrique, it's not those two.</p>

<p>What this commercial really proves is that photography - and cinematography - is about images and being in the right place, at the right time - with a knowledge of composition, lighting, timing and impact. Almost any camera could have captured wonderful images with a skilled photographer.</p>

<p>To further illustrate this point, the best images in the commercial were the actual live action ones - did anyone breathlessly wonder what video camera was used to capture those images?</p>

<p>I have read in a dutch photomagazine that this commercial was shot with a 7D.</p>

<p>That wouldn't surprise me at all; I read that NBC used a 7D and a 5DII to shoot broadcast segments of Saturday Night Live a few months ago.</p>

<p>You're right, Marcel. It was shot on the 7D. British actress Emma Thompson is producing a small independent movie called "The Journey" which is filmed entirely on a 5D mk2. I read an interview with an American celebrity photographer who said that big name Hollywood directors are looking at using the 5D mk2 for future projects. Who would have thought this twelve months ago?</p>
