this is a movie taken with the canon 5d mark ii, my new camera. it has a function to shoot movies in HD. i have been saving, selling photos, doing photo shoots and anything else i can think of in my spare time as it's quite a step up from the entry level canon 350d that i have had for a few years now that i have loved and taken some great photos with. already i have been amazed at the quality of photos particularly in low light - the lack of noise at say ISO 2500 is amazing. well you can also shoot movies in HD on this camera which means filming with canon lenses. it's not why i bought the camera but i was sat in a car wash at the weekend and thought i'd try it out. i cannot believe the quality of the movie - this is it uploaded and compressed so has lost some detail but i think you can still tell.
Hummm! I've taken one like that on my mobile!

So now you have to learn how to use all of your lenses again ;)

Its a great bit of gear, and weather-sealed too!
Can't wait for some new shots!

I can almost hear it!
(Don't tell anyone - but I've got a different tradition. I eat a Twix and clean the inside of the windows while I'm sat in the car wash. Fattening, functional ... and not so creative!)
