yes it’s true i got caught up in the whole 550D / HD-DSLR thing!
in the end i have to say Nino Leitner’s (i’v met him over twitter) in-depth blog post did it for me … as well as his nice test-shot-clip on vimeo.
of curse there are some more great clip online (on vimeo – some links below)
even though i’m in germany, so i have to wait about 14 days till my new Canon 550D will be delivered… i’m excited as hell yet already, though
basically i bought a rather “basic” set, in the first place just to get started with HD-DSLR stuff:
– Canon 550D
– Canon Kit Lens EF-S 18-55mm
– Canon 50 mm 1.8 II (thx for recommendation to Brian DeFrees and his vimeo clip)
– Light Craft Workshop Fader ND Filter ( ND2 to ND400) 52mm
(thx to Mario Feil for recommendation)
nice review by Markus Haken
– 1x 8 GB SDHC Class 6

that’s it for now … i will use a regular sachter tripod as we use it for XH-A1
so what next … well i have to wait and have a try as soon as this cam is in my hands … hopefully soon, as i have a lot of regular shootings and projects coming up in the next couple of weeks / moths, which all planed to shoot on XH-A1, HVX200 or better … so this 550D will be more a B-Cam and “landscape-cam” … it will come to use in situations/ shots where the 50mm /1.8 lens is needed / useful / nice.
and all my free-time will be used for some kind of fun-shooting as well (of course)
so we will see… how this thing can fit in, back here 🙂 … oh and btw this 550D just used up my iPad/toy budget for this year… but that is ok 😉
