Heck Yeah Damn Big Old Goofy World

Canon 5D MarkII

I picked up my new camera yesterday at Mike’s Camera on Colorado Blvd.  Thanks Tom.

I had originally just ordered the body, but they were back ordered for two or so more weeks and had the lens kit available, so I sunk the extra cash and bought that.

I took it out to the Denver skatepark after work to do some initial shooting before even reading the manual.  Here is one shot and a video (there were not many people skating, so I did not have many options to shoot.

The video on the camera is the main reason I bought the 5D.  I shot a wee bit yesterday and was happy with the outcome.  The piece above is without any external mic and in the “auto” setting.  I also compressed it down from the native HD to .mp4 for space concerns.  The HD is really good.  I purchased an external mic and will post more video as I learn/use the camera.  Overall I am happy with this purchase.  Nicely done, Canon.
