Canon 5D Mark 11 video examples
Canon EOS 5D Mark II Video
More and more digital SLRs are now being built with a movie recording mode. The Canon EOS 5D Mark II is one of the highest spec models offering full HD at 1920×1080p. After viewing a couple of dozen video’s taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark 11, I can honestly say it rivals the quality of high end movie recording equipment. But don’t take my word for it, check out some of the links below and see for yourself.
The EOScars
EOScars offers some of the highest quality video’s I’ve seen, taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark 11. They scour the latest movies posted on the web and publish only those where it is clear the filmaker has put in the effort to create a complete package. View the sample below then visit http://theeoscars.com/5dblog/ to enjoy many others.

Reverie
Reverie is a sample EOS 5D Mark 11 video by photographer Vincent Laforet. It’s a beautiful short video about one mans dream. You can see Reverie at Canon Digital Learning Center Sample Video or watch how they produced the EOS 5D Mark 11 video at: Behind the scenes with Vincent.
Flickr Group – Canon 5D MK 11 Videos
One of our favorite hangouts now has a group for videographers who shoot with a Canon 5D Mark 11. It’s a relatively new group that already boasts 360 members. It’s also a great place to discuss video techniques, or for beginners to help each other out. For more information, head on over to: http://www.flickr.com/groups/canon5dii-videos/
Nature / Wildlife video
Visit http://www.vimeo.com/1858950 and you’ll see a bird watching video taken with 5D Mark II + Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 IS L
Lens + 2x Teleconverter, effectively providing for an 800mm focal
length with f/5.6 aperture @ISO 3200. This is a good video to show the 5D Mark 11 capabilities in extreme ISO and teleconverter settings. Notice the video is still of very high quality.
Canon 5D Mark II Underwater Video Review
To really test the capabilities of Canon 5D Mark 11, Berkley White took it to the depths of the ocean to video sharks and dolphins in Monterey. Watch the video at: http://www.backscatter.com/5d2/
When I first heard about the Canon 5D Mark 11 video capabilities, my intitial reaction was similar to many others, ‘Why would I want video capabilities, I’m a photographer?’. Now that I think about it, I do often take both my Digital SLR camera and Sony video camera, on trips away. Therefore, it does make sense to only carry one piece of equipment that does the job of two.
This is off topic, but I’m not sure where else to post it. I’d like to mention that in your SLR photography guide you said:
“Have a look on your camera where the lens mounts onto the body. If you see a red circle, then your camera is compatible with EF-S lenses.”
That is incorrect. Cameras with a red circle support only Canon EF lenses. Canon cameras with a red circle AND a white dot support both EF and EF-S lenses. If someone uses this information and tries to force an EF-S lens onto a camera with only a red dot, they run the risk of damaging both the camera and the lens.

Thank-you Steve for bringing this error to my attention. I will reword this sentence. You are correct, the camera needs to show both a red circle and white dot / square to support both EF and EF-S lenses in reference to this article: http://www.slrphotographyguide.com/camera/canon-digital-slr/EF-EFS-lens.shtml
Kind Regards.
