Did some tests of the HD video mode of the Canon 60D.
I am really impressed with the quality of the video on the Canon 60D.
What I liked:
- Having 720p at 60fps giving great half speed slow motion (no interpolation required)
- Using the swivel LCD screen letting me get great low angle shots (I would be buried in the snow for some of the snow shots of the kids)
- manual Audio control (I dubbed over it but original was great)
- Auto White balance in video mode was superb – snow can be a challenge!
I did use really good lenses on this footage:
Canon 16-35mm L f2.8 and Canon 70-200mm L f2.8
It shows that the sensor is very capable and adding good glass in front really makes it shine.
Overall – super happy with the camera 🙂
