Posted on: February 8th, 2010 Canon EOS 7D 24p footage tries to make indie filmmakers / chain smokers out of us all

Want a really good excuse to spend $1,700 on a DSLR? Check out the 24fps "Dublin's People" short after the break, shot with one of those fancy new 7D DSLRs from this little company named "Canon" that you may have heard of. The verdict? Filmmaker Philip Bloom loves the new hardware, and says the rolling shutter problems of the 5D Mark II have been slightly reduced (at a cursory glance, anyway). Still, he's hoping Canon also releases a firmware update for existing 30fps-limited 5D Mark II owners — he owns two.

Posted on: February 8th, 2010 Mind Blowing Video of the Canon 1D Mark IV – canon 1D mkIV

We already saw some stunning night video of the Canon 1D Mark IV, but it's nothing, nothing I tell you, compared to this mind blowing movie of a cold winter day in Prague. You won't believe some of the shots.
Philip Bloom, the same guy who shot the Skywalker Ranch earlier this year, got his hands on a pre-production Canon 1D Mark IV and took it to Prague, alongside Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum.
