I’m not a fan of CA either, but the only problem with canon it that it’s 10 times more expensive than Tokina
all but the Canon suffers from Chromatic Aberration. can’t stand that distorted rainbow smear in pixels
Unfortunately I can’t afford to do tests like these. I’m more about finding great lenses at a low price.
any review for canon 100-400L vs 400 L F5.6 USM plz ? with 2x convertor
Thanks for the tip. I know there are many great Sigma telephoto lenses, but I can’t afford them all, so I test whatever is easily affordable to me.
Sigma APO 120-400mm F/4.5-5.6 is a much better lens then the Tamron and Tokina lenses in your test. The Sigma can be found for just over half the cost of the Canon 100-400 F/4.5-5.6 and has OS(Optical Stabilization) which is Sigma’s version of Canon’s IS(Image Stabilization)
Canon lens is the better one of all
where can you find the Tokina to purchase? Nice review
The canon is a real beauty
Nice review!!! Thanks for sharing!
What about the Tokina 80-400mm?
You think on canon 600d the canon lens is a good coice?
H2 on Amazon is $380… unless I’m looking at the wrong H2.
yes you can. just get a cable going from headphone out to the t2i mic in
can i plug the zoom h2 directly to a dslr?
ok friend, but how do you sync your video with your sound?
tadah! H2 DUH !
Hi I was wondering if it was easy to merge the audio with the video?
I have £200 to spend, what mic shall i buy for all round DSLR video shooting?
when you plug in a lav mic into the zoom is the lav mic only picking up sound or are they both ?
Can the zoom be used instead of a shotgun or does it have to be used with a shotgun for filmmaking?
what do you use ton synch the sound ?
t2i does accept external audio
how to sync this mic to the canon t3i?
Great video, thanks.
Also, my favourite parts:
1.) “Nice box” 2:40
2.) “The cat’s ass”
The t2i doesn’t allow external audio, but the t3i does.
The cat’s ass??? Hahah what?
can you use the H2 on its own when filming or will you need to attach a shotgun as well?
I use the mic for recording live band practices and have it about 15 feet away (granted, the sound is amplified) and the recordings are amazing for the $80 I paid (brand new on Ebay).
nice review man. if i crank all volumes up i can hear a small hiss on the backgrund with the zoom. is it from the mic or does it catch the laptops noise?
Hey man! Thanks for the review! I have a Zoom H2, but I am looking for the Lavalier Mic to add to it. Which model do you use?
you could tell me what were the settings used to make the recording?
L / M / H?
gain in db?
type of format? (mp3 or wav)
thank you
You sure can dude. I fashioned a little threaded holder that slips into my hot foot (metal clamp on that would hold an external flash on top of your rebel) to hold my zoom h4 as I record; on each clip, a snap of the fingers allows you to synch up the audio/video in post. I highly suggest using the headphone jack in the zoom to monitor the sound levels as your record video. You’ll easily forget about your levels otherwise.
can the zoom h2 connect directly to the camcorder?
everyone STOP =P!
The H2 is great, but you need to look at the H2N, it’s an audio revolution!
It’s funny. I once bought the h2 for some field stuff and hated it. Well I normally work in a studio with real kit, like schoeps, dpa, neumann etc. I thought I’d never use the h2 again, but after getting a dslr and trying a few other mics suitable for dslr bodies I figured, that even this shitty little h2 thing sounds better than any of the rivals I tested. Seems like the H2 will get a second chance. Happy I didn’t sell it right away..
