Morning Testing with the 550d

We had a couple of hours saturday to have a test with the 550d, we were using the 50mm f1.8 lens. filmed in 720p 50fps, but editing through iMovie doesn't allow us to see the advantage of the 50fps with slow motion shots, that will come soon in FCP. So we discovered it is harder than we thought to have the right focal point with the 50mm lens, plus with the bright sun not so easy to see the lcd screen to know if you are in focus or not, so it was an interesting experience. But even though these are the first shots with the 550d, i can really see the potential this camera has in movie making and can't wait to get back out and learn more about it. Hopefully next week we will be back on the rigs for a day in the semnoz shooting some great 1080p 30fps flicks.....check back soon - wazza
