I am a keen photographer who has shot film stills over many years, and in the past some 16mm movie. I now shoot mainly digital stills, but when some exciting action is happening it is great to be able to switch to Movie mode on the modern Digital cameras.
Hence I was very excited to hear that the new Canon D500 will shoot HD movie. I have always felt that putting an expensive camera such as the D5 in an underwater housing was somewhat crazy, if there was a cheaper alternative which would give a satisfactory quality. However I leant today that the D500 will only shoot 1080p movie at 20 fps.
Will be interested to hear from some experts out there. Is this likely to be a problem? Is the D5 the same?
