For an video example with natural 5d Recorded audio and a full write up of the canon 5d Mark II Please visit: http://stephenmcgee.wordpress.com/canon-5d-mark-ii-write-up/

See what 3 time Emmy Award Winning filmmaker Stephen McGee does with 12 hours with the 5d Mark II. Compare how it performs in the “Run and Gun” of visual journalism. I set out to see if I would like the Canon 5d Mark II for the type of visual journalism I produce which mostly consists of quick photo/video turn arounds as well as in depth 30 minute docs.

In an entertaining Bourne Supremacy/Reverie-style video with a journalistic approach, I take to the streets in the city of Chicago for 3 hours at night and 4 hours during the day. My main goal was to see how it would hold up under the conditions (ie; lighting, weather, walking, no budget and limited gear/time, ) I normally shoot HDV video in the newspaper/documentary environement.

I will post 2 videos; 1 will show the fancy edit with soundtrack and 1 will be very similar with only the natural sound accompaning the imagery from the hot shoe mounted Senn MKE 400.
