The word on the street that there is problem with Canon’s 7D where it will show during burst mode it will show the preceding frame. I have not seen this myself when shooting with the 7D, but i have not done alot of shooting with this camera. Phenomenon In images captured by continuous shooting, and under certain conditions, barely noticeable traces of the immediately preceding frame may be visible. This phenomenon is not noticeable in an image with optimal exposure. The phenomenon may become more noticeable if a retouching process such as level compensation is applied to emphasize the image.

First footage from Philip Bloom on Vimeo. Random: GH1 and Nikon Zeiss prime F1.4 in low light from Philip Bloom on Vimeo. Panasonic GH1 video by Phillip Bloom! Well the one and only Phillip Bloom brings us some real footage of the new Panasonic GH1! The footage looks to be quite nice, and you can’t hear the lens when focusing. With the GH1 using AVCHD there appears to a bit of a limitation, only having 17Mbs its a tad low. I’m not too sure if its the AVCHD or the sensor, but low light is not as good as the Canon or Nikon offering. Take a look and see for yourself and leave a comment!
