Re: Noisy video on outdoor shoot

Thanks for the repy Steven. Very informative. But I thought I'd make one minor correction. At a recent trade show a Canon representative talked about the 5D. He said that everyone thinks that the entire sensor is used, when in fact it's only a small part of it that is used to record video (I think he said 20%, but I can't remember for sure.

My interpretation of this is that only 1920x1080 is needed to record high def video, so they used a portion of the sensor in that size. (or something like that).

Just thought you'd find that interesting. Thanks again for the great explanation. Makes sense to me! :)
