    Really? ; I wonder why they are doing that. ; Unless Canon is paying them for the "commercial". ; I'll try to catch it since I am at work and will be up.

    The recent season finale of House was also shot entirely with a 5d Mk 2. I watched it and couldn't really tell that it was not done with the normal equipment. It looked great and they were able to shoot in some tight places where a regular movie cam couldn't fit.

    It is quite interesting that they are using dSLR camera's with this ability to shoot TV shows. ; I wonder where this is going to take the next generation of these cameras. ; Anyone want to speculate?

    There have been some great YouTube videos shot with the 5dMk2 ; additionally, the video guys at a recent wedding I worked shot entirely with 5dMk2 ; I shudder to think about the sheer amount of data captured at roughly 1gb per 90 seconds of footage. ;

    How many memory cards would you need to capture an entire event like that? ; Holy cow!
