Most likely a Canon 5D or 7D. Shallow depth of field and the digital look suggest so.

[PDR447]

yeah it's a 5/7D. you can see it in some of the shots.

I found the camera work annoying actually. excessively shallow focus is distracting and not really "appropriate" for the subject matter. but, I work in film so I'm jaded.

[domp444]

Haha very true. It does get annoying after a while. Not only in their video but everywhere you look now there's shallow DOF and "great film." People just picking up a camera and calling themselves filmmakers. I study filmmaking, at the School of Visual Arts in NYC

Sorry for the thread hijack! But you did say what camera are they using

[LiPo Power]

Come on guys, regardless, they are doing fine job explaining simple staff people sometimes are asking you to explain and it makes sense....

These guys do a great job. I admire their production values and content. Kudos!

[domp444]

I'm not saying they're not doing a good job. I enjoyed their videos they were informative and fun to watch. I don't have a problem with them or anything against them.

I fully agree!
I've seen many who think they know how to shoot video/film or call themselves film makers just because they went to school or shot something once
but untill you actually work in the industry like I have you will soon learn a few things out in the field
These guys look to have put together a great product, and the camera work adds texture and a little drama to the piece
this is the best by far of any video review I've seen to date

[domp444]

They turned the review into a short film, haha. The camera work is great and I love the depth of field these cameras allow people to shoot HD in at very low prices. I was going to get one of them, but I have now decided to wait for the RED Epic and shoot with what I have until then.
I think their review was pretty good, what I was saying was people using these cost-efficient cameras to call themselves filmmakers annoys me. I know I only study film and I haven't worked in the industry, but I've shot a couple of shorts and have some great teachers to learn from at SVA.

[Brushless55]

it is cool that we have cameras like this to shoot with very low cost
its a little much to me though the constant focus back and fourth, but I think it adds to the video that others may like more than I do
this is the rig they were shooting the show House with
I would like to try out a rig like this but I need something with better audio input

[domp444]

I agree, they're great cameras. That rig looks good but I would prefer Zacuto, they make some great stuff.
To record audio you'd have to get a separate audio recorder. A popular one is the Zoom H4N. It has 2 xlr inputs and an on board mic. Then you use a program called Plural Eyes, which basically syncs the audio you captured on the 5d to the audio captured on the H4N. It's really easy and definitely much better than recording audio to the 5D.

good to know about the audio!
send a link if you have one
thanks

This is the H4N: B&H

No problem. Are you thinking of getting this setup?
