| October 16, 2008 | | Customers report that the Canon 5D MK 2 video mode does not work well. | Canon 5D MK 2 customers say that the video mode on this 5D MK 2 does not work the way they expected. Since the shutter is held open, auto focus will not adjust to distance to subject changes while recording and zoom lenses should not be used since any zoom movement may cause focus to alter. Also, video files are so large, that you can fill a memory card in minutes of recording. The suggestion is that photographers should not buy this camera for its video feature. Buy a camcorder for video. This feature is best suited for short video capture of unusual events on the go, like a car accident, crime in proggress etc. Other reports is that the high ISO features fall short of Nikon's noise reduction technology using high ISO settings. | |
