The “Break it Down” Blog

SmugMug’s Don MacAskill blogged about Vincent Laforet’s new ‘Nocturne’ short that was shot in 1080p at ISO 6400 on the new Canon 1D Mark IV — for those of you with your 5D Mark II’s, apparently the 1D MIV has better low-light performance, but the body runs a solid $5k — so probably just buy 2 instead of 3.

Overall quality looked excellent, wouldn’t know the difference between this and a “real” camera used in Hollywood, but I’m not professional photographer. Interesting for the folks out there that want to shoot this kind of work and have $5k to drop.

Vincent was also known for breaking-in everyone’s 1080p expectations with the Canon 5D Mark II when it was just about to hit the market as well.
