But it's just not practical. I think it's geared more towards quick clips in HD. I tested it last night on a tripod in the passenger seat of a car and if you lock in the focus before driving it works awesome. But if you zoom or move the camera in anyway, since its locked, it will go out of focus unless you get it back in the same spot. Also it's hard to tell if its focused looking at the LCD. Last night I thought it was perfect, and I looked @ the clips on my laptop and they weren't. I'm just ordering a Vixia on Monday lol.
Raise your F-Stop up, DOF with a SLR video camera is very tricky, I'm using a adapter for my video camera and that just makes the control of focus just that much harder. Don't be tricked by thinking you can't shoot a long project with this camera.
I beg to differ, a photo guy I shoot with has a 5D and he's shoot 30min shorts, its all about how you work the camera.
Honestly I'd shoot 30P only because if you pan quick you won't get jaggy lines which you'll see you'll get when shooting 24p
BTW you might need to go to walmart and pick up a 10" monitor to view your footage, I'm using a 24" monitor tmrw I think, HD onboard monitors run around 1,000 - 1,500 for cheap ones....
