A Full Frame Sensor refers to the size of the sensor or capture area. The term “Full Frame” means the sensor is similar in size to a 35mm film frame. Like film, the larger the surface area, the more detail is recorded which translates to higher image quality. When recording video, the full sensor is used resulting in the cinematographic look seen in movies, for example shallow depth of field.

Is the full frame sensor only for taking pictures getting a wide angle, or does that include the video mode as well?
@zorrokun i do believe that distance concerning simply semi pro and professional is little now. d7000 is all many of us want. check out… freedslr . c0m change 0 with o and take a chance to bring home a new Nikon D7000
it doesn’t have it, but with a Plug – Xlr you can have you’re audio, i guess.
If you can point me in the right direction to the shop that sells video cameras for £2000 that you can change lenses on , get great dop , fantastic colours , progressive frame filming etc etc please do let me know,
hmm…I still prefer Sony TG1…
How does one get sound on this camera? Are there any XLR inputs anywhere on the camera?
How would one get sound on board a still camera like this? I do not see an XRL input anywhere on it?
then I would say you’re probably not very interested in video period…otherwise you’d know why this camera is damn good for video….watch any Phillip Bloom or Vincent Laforet examples with it
buying a video camera with equivalent image quality would be:
HVX + 35mm adapter = $4000 + $2000 > so you’re looking around $6000 minimum.
VS
5D MKII with a prime lens ~$3000
Other advantages = small size. You’ll need 10 mins to set up a HD cam with adapter, MKII you just click and shoot even in small space
In the right hands you can get videos that would come close to image quality of Red One video camera (which is 7 times more expensive, and no I didnt same SAME quality as Red but CLOSE 🙂

video cameras with the same quality as this are indeed much more expensive, and another benefit these dslr’s have is a larger sensor compared to ‘regular’ hd videocameras..
where has my post gone?
can’t agree more with you, very well said. after all, it is a photo camera, one of the best on the market.
because the only video Camera that can do these kind of things (with exchangeable lenses etc… are far more expensive than this.
jennifer is my kind of geek 🙂
There should be more sample images.
he didn’t reccomend this camera for videographers… probably because there are still some issues about the video that Cannon needs to tweak, I wonder when they will realize the obvious and synergize their videography/photography departments to make a camera to put the others to shame
