RE: Doing video with the Rebel XS aka 1000D

[AgentDrex]

Looks like I won't have to wait for a camera that can do video. I will still save for a couple that have the native ability but there is a program at sourceforge.net called:

EOS Camera Movie Record

that can capture the "Live View" output of a camera that is hooked up to a computer. So as long as I have some sort of computer hooked up to the camera, I can start doing short films sooner....yay!

interesting.. what kind of resolution? Sorry, not clicking the link because I am at work.

Thats fine...its a safe site...check it at home...it will apparently do 720p...so good enough for, as I mentioned elsewhere, the youtubes...

5 minute review:

* It works
* No continuous auto-focus
* 21-22 FPS
* Can't seem to find any documentation
* AVI format: MotionJPG @ 28Mbit/sec 768 x 512
* (Obviously) No Audio

Neat project, could have some potential...

Must be a pretty new program...I shot a shaky, 10-second video...pretty impressive so far...now I just have to monkey around with lighting...

how much better is the video compared to a $100 web cam?

 

[AgentDrex]

As good as the photos it takes....IMHO...by which I mean...looks way nicer than a webcam...but I haven't used a webcam for awhile...so maybe they've gotten better...but this is a great solution to video...
