![]() The smaller the sensor, the greater the depth of field… so most consumer grade video cameras produce video in which the backgrounds are relatively sharp in comparison to the subjects, which looks very distinctive and, frankly, cheap. Since HD video resolution is so low, comparatively speaking, most video cameras have very small sensors… many of them less than 1/4 the size of an APS-C sensor. ![]() The main issue with video is depth of field. In each of these cameras, only about 10% of the data that can be captured by the sensor will be used, so issues of lens resolution (discussed previously regarding the 7D and 50D), diffraction, etc, that plague the world of fine art photography are simply not field-relevant with video video resolution is too low to reproduce these problems. Image quality is NOT a significant difference, as 1080p HD video (1920 x 1080 pixels) is only 2 megapixels. For video, however, this creates a completely different set of problems than it does for still photography. The 5D carries a full-frame sensor, while the 7D and T2i use APS-C (ie, 1.6x crop) sensors. The fundamental difference, of course, is the sensor size. Click the image above to check it out… it\’s worth it, whether you buy the equipment from them or not.
