“Just posted the first 1080p video from Canon's new 5D MkII that I've seen online. http://twurl.nl/e4kxby
20 hours ago - Link
Are you able to control how much compression is applied to the video while it is recording? Watching it at 1080p show considerable jpeg compression artifacts. I would think shooting in HD would be less compressed looking, and more pixel perfect. Or was the compression applied post-production? The video was beautifully and artfully filmed. - Jim Bergman
Jim Begman - Well, first, it was filmed in H.264, not JPEG or MJPEG, so I doubt they're JPEG artifacts. :) Secondly, the camera records at ~40Mbps (same max. bitrate of a 1080p Blu-Ray), but since very few people have 40Mbps connections at home, SmugMug encodes 1080p video at 6Mbps. So there are multiple levels of potential artifact generation - low-light ISO imagery, H.264 encoding on the camera, H.264 encoding after editing but prior to upload, and H.264 encoding after upload. Whew! Complicated! :) - Don MacAskill
Thanks for the explanation! It does clear up the question of compression. I wish my bandwidth was ~40Mbps. T3's for everybody! - Jim Bergman
Holy crap! It looks gorgeous to me; I don't see any compression artifacts at all. Beautiful stuff. - Glen Campbell
Also, Jim, you did click the 1920 link, right? I just figured out that some people were simply hitting the 'fullscreen' button on the 640p embedded version and expecting it to automatically use the higher-rez versions - which it doesn't. - Don MacAskill
Excellent video! Thanks for taking the time to make, post and describe the lenses used in making the video. - Jeff P. Henderson
I want one, but can't afford a new DSLR right now. Wow, what great quality! - Robert Scoble
@Don, where did you get your cameras from? Did you by on line or retail? I placed my order for one on Sept 17 and am still waiting for it to ship from Amazon. - Jeff P. Henderson
That is truly amazing and beautiful! - Brendon Wadey
So how much is this camera in USD? - Brendon Wadey
@Brendon $2699 for the body only. - Jeff P. Henderson
Those are things where I wish I was rich. I would love to have that camera, but I can't even afford a normal/cheaper DLSR. Thanks for the info. - Brendon Wadey
WOW! That is great footage! & from a DSLR makes it all the more amazing! Thanks for sharing! - Chandler
@Brendon, You can get great deals on used gear a KEH.com. I have sold old camera gear to them on several occasions and they are very honest with the quality of the used gear they sell. You might be able to pick up a used Rebel or depending on your budget a used 5D for a good price. - Jeff P. Henderson
Oh yes I know many places to find good deals on DLSRs, but my budget still can't exactly afford them lol, maybe after Christmas and not so busy. Thanks for the KEH.com suggestion, I didn't know about them. I will for sure check them out. - Brendon Wadey
Man, I can't wait. I ordered mine from Adorama on September 25th, and it hasn't shipped yet. Go Go Go.... Hopefully it'll ship this week. :| - Donato (ricin)
Amazing quality. Anyone want to buy a 40D? :) - Andrew Smith
Great stuff, I really hope I get mine soon from Adorama, they told me it would ship Saturday, but no ship notfication so far, bleh! - Bill Pennington via twhirl
Don, yes I clicked the the full 1080p resolution link: http://cmac.smugmug.com/galler.... Here's a PNG screencap to show what I'm seeing: http://farm4.static.flickr.com... However, if I watch the video in HiDef, the image is much better: http://farm4.static.flickr.com... FYI, these screencaps were made while the video was in playback, not at the opening still image. Thanks for sharing the beautiful video! - Jim Bergman
Looks like the same issue as the commenter on the blog post (Another) Andy. The video is the 480p version upscaled, not the 1080p video, which I can't seem to find a link for. Sorry, I'm good at breaking things! Love what you've done to show off the 5DMII! I hope to get one soon too! - Jim Bergman
Damn, that's gorgeous. Grrr, I'm still waiting for my new 5D MkII from Adorama. Now I'm really going to have to bring my tripod wherever I go again! - David Sifry
Wow. The quality is amazing! - Jauder Ho
Somewhere, a storage company CEO just smiled a little wider. 40Mb/s!! - Mike McMurray
Jim Bergman - Dang, I had a stupid stupid bug. Thanks for helping debug it. It should be fixed now - give that link another shot. Sorry for the hassle!! (Anyone else trying to watch it on Windows, you might want to look again. Sorry about that!) - Don MacAskill

Feel free to extend this pre-coffee observation to other services. - Chris Baskind
And whats the post-coffee observation? Any differance? - Roberto Bonini
I'll update you. Putting the kettle on now ... ;-) - Chris Baskind via IM
This is hilarious. - Anika Malone
Need more coffee, Anika??? You seem too easily amused. - Roberto Bonini
This just seems to be an extention of the first rule of Blogging "Blogging's primary purpose is to discuss blogging" - Sean Reiser
Nah, the difference between an A-lister and everyone else is that you already know where to find the A-lister on other services, but subscribe on FF simply for the convenience. - Scott from Canada
No, I don't Roberto. This is funny. It seems no matter the niche of blogosphere, it's the same. I run in liberal political circles online, so this week, would be "The difference between an A-lister and everyone else is that an A-lister has already written their article on how Clinton as Sec. of State is wrong." Hilarious. - Anika Malone
(that's funny, I thought these kind of arguments only went on over here in Italy...) - lagiorgia
@giorgia: With expressive hand gestures. - Chris Baskind via IM
Crap...this sucks. I've written a few articles on how to use a few different services wrong and I'm still not on the A-list... - ♫ Rahsheen™
Chris - you think you know, but you have no idea. :) - lagiorgia
meta comments on FriendFeed always generate conversation...well played...bonus points for being (friend of robert scoble ;) - Adam Singer
The thing is that I doubt we will ever setting on one cohesive description of that what the A-List is and who makes it up. One can use the Robert Scoble/ Louis Gray rule. Or any number of otheer yardsticks, but we need to find the yardstick first. - Roberto Bonini
or maybe A-listers are such because they remain curious about others even though they may not have the time to respond to their messages. They find other ways to let them know they are listening... - Valeria Maltoni
@Roberto, I want to hear more about the "Robert Scoble/ Louis Gray rule". This I've never seen... - Louis Gray
I'm talking sheer popularity, Louis. Between you and Robert, you're good examples of A-listers by popularity both here on FF and on Twitter. But is this a fair yardstick to use? That is another question. - Roberto Bonini
I want to see this rumored A-list! - Rochelle
OMG, I have a déjà-vu, I *really* thought such a discussion (on "popularity", A-listers, "friends" of A-listers and such) could've just happened among Italian bloggers... last time I read about that I wrote it off as "provincial" and that was it. Enough. I'm puzzled to see this happens elsewhere as well. Is the internet so provincial? That would be hilarious. - lagiorgia
I was on FriendFeed before Louis Gray or Robert Scoble, and I discovered both of them through this service. - Bruce Lewis
