A guy who has been in television long enough to know better said:
Because there are those out there operating under the delusion that it's an actual and proper TV production tool. There are some fools who actually think they can use it and it alone, that's why.
It's a TV toy.
So I thought I'd post some notable examples of 5D work I've found and let everybody out there make the call.
The clips look great in HD if you open them on their own pages.
I had the Canon5DmkII for a while and although I had shot a few tests, I hadn't really made anything that I could post properly.
As you might know, I edit for BBC & IMG on the coverage of the Snooker & Darts here in the UK and thought this would be an ideal opportunity to give the Canon a good outing.
I have to say I was amazed at the results. Colin Nuttall who is one of the best cameramen I work with got some amazing shots. Gorden Lugrin assisted and Jason Woodward held it all together by directing. All edited in FCP, I used some custom droplets to convert the 5D files into PAL land.

An often quickly written and random series of discoveries, thoughts, testing & fun in the world of broadcast editing and the development of Final Cut Pro plugins.
