Re: Buying a Canon DSLR. 60D, 7D, or 5D Mark II?

[David Jones]I'm not sure I'd go with the AF-100, at least in terms of image quality. The compression rate is only 24Mbps compared to 44Mbps with the Canon eos series cameras

The AF-100 image is better than the DSLR image in almost every way, save for a bit deeper depth of field overall. The AF-100 uses AVCHD, a "professional" version of H.264, the Canon's use a much-less efficient version, hence the need for the higher data rate.
