Video test, Canon 550D, in which I babble
As I alluded to elsewhere, I’m now the owner of a very-hard-to-get-your-hands-on Canon 550D (Digital Rebel T2i). I think there’s only about 20 in the UK at the moment, so I should probably write a full review — but I just don’t have time. Perhaps after the weekend, if there are still no reviews up on the Internet.
In the mean time, here’s a test of the video/film functionality. This is recorded at 1080p ‘full HD’, but I messed it up somewhere between the camera and YouTube — thus the bad audio sync, and maybe some dropped frames.
(If you can’t see the video below, you need to view this on my blog.)

One of my housemates (sorry, ‘flatmates’) has one of these 1080p cameras and it’s so much power that figuring out things to shoot is a team effort because we want to capture EVERYTHING. Looking forward to what you shoot and the eventual audio sync!
But wait, why are those cameras so rare in the UK?

February 27th, 2010 at 1:25 amFirst video I saw of you, actually laughed out loud at Supernerd. GREAT camera; the closeup resolution is phenomenal. You looked like a movie star
February 27th, 2010 at 7:52 pmNico — it’s just a new model
First shipment and all that. There’ll be lots more soon enough!
If only I had a sidekick to help me capture things!
Thanks to both of you pretty ladies… though I think you are both too kind… way too kind! I don’t think I’m all that photogenic (despite my mother’s continued protestations to the contrary…)
I guess I’ll just have to do some more filming and see how it turns out…

Yeah, it’s a bummer than you couldn’t adjust the focus, ’twas slightly alarming when your fingers/hair were in really crisp resolution (it’s REALLY sharp! You’re going to get some badboy videos out of this camera I think) but your face was blurry.
February 28th, 2010 at 6:44 pmOne of these niiiights… yeah — Eagles
February 28th, 2010 at 7:10 pmYou ARE photogenic darling, and I will be your sidekick any day!
