First clips from Canon 5D Mrkll. Convergence racheted up a few notches

Without further ado: Reverie

Vincent Laforent got his hands on a prototype and shoot a short film with it. As I mentioned to others, this is a game changer of a camera. 1080p with sound in a Dslr form factor. Watch the short to see what it can do in low light. Coupled with some of the lenses we still guys take for granted, you get a look you simply can't get with off the shelf video.

Convergence is coming from the DLSR side of things, where I honestly thought the video side would get closer, first.  This is even better, as a stills photographer, the tools remain the same shape. Laforent  was so effected by his experience with the 5D that his changed his site from Laforent Photography to Laforent Visuals.

Something tells me the Canon Booth at this upcoming Macworld is going to be even MORE crowded that usual!
