A new age in video?

I’m not sure why it’s taken me so long to post a link to this but sometimes things get left out.

When Digital cameras first featured a ‘video mode’ button no one really took it seriously.  By common consent a Digital Camera was only ever going to be a poor imitation of a proper video camera.  Things have moved on though, and the creative possibilities derived from having more control of your lense – something intrinsic to DSLRs – are only now being realised.  It’s exciting because it’s now possible to carry one machine that will take amazing photos and video.  For those of us looking to travel light to far flung corners of the world and record what we find, it’s nothing short of a revolution.   Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford one!

Here’s a video by the camp4collective shooting with Canon’s 7D…
