This New Year's Eve I was invited to stay, in London, at a good Friend's apartment which overlooks the River Thames. In photographic terms I learned two things: 1. I am a better photographer in shots which I have under my 'control' than I am when shooting 'candid'. 2. A cameraman makes for a poor Dining Companion! Canon 7d. A Canon 2.8 Efs 60mm A Canon 1.8 Ef 28mm A Compact Glidetrack I was struggling for light but nevertheless wanted slow motion so I chose 720p 50fps 100th shutter and Iso 2000. (P. Bloom suggests 1600 Iso is far enough). Magic Bullet Looks, "Basic Cool Max" My Low Light learning curve has a way to go. Music: Korgis.

I took my GH1 and my "new" 50 years old Canon FL 58 mm 1.2 lens for shooting some impressions of the New Years Eve here in Tokyo. There is no custom for parties and fireworks in Japan like in most of the western countries, but many people come to the famous Hachiko crossing in Shibuya for a public countdown and praying in the shrines and temples after midnight. I went to Yasukuni-Jinja later. Often more "no light" than low light conditions, but always shooting at 720p, 60fps and f=2. No color grading, no tripod, edited in FCP on a 24fps timeline, slow motions with cinema tools. BTW, the Canon FL 58 mm 1.2 is one of the only two every made radioactive Canon lenses and I can't wait for giving it a try under daytime conditions too. A very Happy New Year to everyone !!!

This is a thrown together piece of footage I took with Canon's new 1Dmk4 which I had the chance to have a play with for a few days thanks to Ben Walton from Team Digital in Perth Western Australia. I was off on True North again to capture some highlights of their Sydney Rocks cruise for New Years. I packed the 5Dmk2 and of course the Brand Spanking New 1Dmk4. The pressure was on on two levels. One to shoot some nice footage for the owners of True North and Two to do justice to Canon's new super camera. Unfortunately no one told the weather to play ball and it was a dull grey dreary few days in Sydney. Of course this is great for even light but if your trying to sell beds on boats blue sky wins out everytime. I alternated between the two camera's so I have more footage from this trip but I wanted to show only 1D footage in this edit. I couldn't really distinguish between the footage of the two cameras but noticed that the 1Dmk4 footage looked a little softer than the 5D. Maybe it was due to a smaller sensor and shooting 24p. Don't really know but it made me want to favor the 5D more. The low light capabilities seemed no better than the 5D and as soon as I see noise in my footage I tend not to push the ISO anymore. At around 400 ISO on both cameras the noise to me became unacceptable but a proper test with both cameras in a studio set up would tell the story better. Would I buy a 1Dmk4 over a 5Dmk2 if it was just to shoot video? Probably not. This was not a true opportunity to test the camera as I had a job to do and stuffing around was not an option. I'll get another chance with this camera in the next few days so maybe I'll set up some better tests. Enjoy this for what it is. It's not my best work but at least those of you who are looking at this camera may have a better informed decision if considering buying one. Gear used included 1Dmk4, 5Dmk2, Canon lenses TS-E 17mm f/4, 24mm f1.4, 85mm f/1.2, 400mm f/5.6, Filters etc etc......
