The 7D brochure that came out today. I find the VF view interesting and perhaps cluttered when displaying the grid and points but one can turn it off thank goodness.

p.37 #2Canon EOS 7D Master thread
One of the reasons I'm interested in the 7D is its video capability. I downloaded the sample video from DPR's hands-on and tried to play it. The movie did not play smoothly on my computer - a 2GHz Mac with mid level video card. Is the jerkyness of the playback due to my computer? I noticed the same thing with the latest D-Rebels sample video.
Buying a new camera is one thing, I don't want to buy a new computer system too.

the 2ghz might be an issue for 1080p video...

While I am not really into this video stuff even though I own a 5DmkII, I have read that sometimes different video players do better than others. A recent post I read somewhere even stated that Quicktime was not so good with these Canon flicks. I played the DPR .mov and opened it in Windows Media Player and it ran fine but it looks to be a handheld shoot and that part is jerky.
What few videos I have shot have always been smooth playing albeit jerky hand held cinema photography. I have a 2.4 ghz computer with fairly good graphic card.

I tried that and it changed all my movie preferences on my computer and I had to uninstall it. Is there away around that because it did it on it's own?

vlc is great but it takes time to figure out its settings.
it will even rip HD into other formats...

Yeah it removes the old files and installs new ones. Don't know if there is a workaround it.

It usually depends on how the player handles different encodes. And if you're graphic card has Hardware Accelleration, it'll really help with playback (but not processing the video itself).

Looks like it will be available early/mid October.Are those USD or AUS-D?Australian dollars.
Anyone know if a 7D Kit with the 15-85 IS lens will be available in US?

interesting that:
1. the Japanese brochure is 26 pages while the US one is only 6
2. they don't refer to it as the "Image Monster" in the US brochure
3. They specifically state in the US brochure (and perhaps the Japanese one, but I don't read Japanese) taht it tracks at the same level as the 1 series cameras (but do
they mean MkII or MkIII )
4. the Japanese brochure nicknames the camera in English "The Canon EOS 7D - IMAGE MONSTER", not Japanese (I always though it was interesting that Japanese companies, and Asian in general, apparently have to name their companies using the western alphabet and same for products, even the copies for sale in Japan still say "Canon EOS 10D" etc.)
5. They mention some sort of special on-chip pattern noise reduction system (as well as on-chip regular noise reduction, however, by this they probably jsut mean the egular CMOS thing and not 'real' noise reduction).

I've been looking at ISO 800, 1600, and 3200 samples of the 7D, 50D, and 5DmkII from imaging-resource and have come to the conclusion that the 7D rocks. I've also read through 30 pages of this thread and have come to the conclusion that some of you dudes really need to get a life.
