    Need help on a new DV camera!
    I am trying to justify the extra time involved w tape down load. I need to see the difference between raw tape footage and raw hd footage. Its this possible?

    I have purchased a 5d mark 2 and absolutely love the video but it lacks in functionality w focus and sound. I have a azden shotgun mic on it which made a huge difference in teh sound.


    I understand there is compression w hd and flash but is it really going to be that noticeable?

    You're right, the sound on a 5D is like a consumer video camera of a fraction of the cost.
    Which is why I was glad to see the mic input on it.

    What's the functionality problem with focus?
