Wow, there is no software updates? I texted my buddy and he said his 5d use to be very hard to set levels until they fixed it

 

Not that I know of. I knew before ordering the camera that the video sucks, it was just a perk to get people to buy it IMO. I mean the video is good in general, you just need to be in controlled light. Otherwise it's not that big of a whoop. Still better to just get a separate video camera.

 

There's a way to lock exposure by twisting the lens a little like your taking it off but when that happens then you have just manual focus only and your iso is still going to be automatic. I was going to get a t1i just for video only but I'm still probably going to wait hopefully they make a 24p rebel soon. Also the 20fps isn't that great if something is moving the picture just stutters.

 

Oh well, just ordered a Canon Vixia HG21 tonight haha.

Almost $2k in photo/video stuff in less than a week. Kill me now please.

 

Nice, congrats!

 

I got the Nikon D5000 with the articulating screen, still looking for some fast glass, here is a review of it on cameralabs.com Nikon D5000 review: Verdict, D5000 vs D60 vs D90 vs 500D / T1i vs Olympus E-620. Nice camera...
