I shot a little image film for Divina Art, a handicraft club who organizes the christmas market on Karlsplatz, Vienna.

I’ve been involved in a Canon 7D shooting right before, but i wanted to give it a try for myself – and i’m pretty impressed by that little thing.

You can watch the video here (the music is once again from Andreas Grass & Nikola Paryla):

I limited the ISO to 3200 and used the following lenses:
Canon EF 24-105mm 1:4
Sigma 10-22mm 1:4-5,6

Although the lenses could have had a better aperture i’m pretty happy with the results, even in low light situations the noise is not too bad (i have not done any noise reduction).

The camera is really easy to use and with good lenses the result is a really impressive, full HD video.

Besides the ISO and shutter i only adjusted the white balance for the look i wanted – everything else are pretty default settings.

The only issue is that you need to have either a tripod or really really steady hands to avoid a jittery video. There are already some rigs, but i didn’t have a chance to try one out. So for documentary where you move a lot you might run into trouble (also because there is no auto-focus for video).

All in all it’s a nice little thing, and quite affordable too.
