Two Videos To Show What You Can Do With A Canon DSLR (EOS 6D and 5D Mark II)

Two videos for you to show what you can do with older gear (5D Mark II) and gear that’s said to be not very suited for video work (6D)

Who said that the Canon EOS 6D is not suited for video work? While it is true that Canon skimped on the Canon EOS 6D (price & specs), their entry-level full-frame DSLR, and that Canon did not push video features in the EOS 6D, there is still people able to show where you can reach with an EOS 6D when it comes to video.

The video above is titled “Happy in La Spezia” (La Spezia is a city in northern Italy). The video was shot by filmmaker Damiano Martino using an Canon EOS 6D and the following lenses: EF 35 f/1.4L, EF 24-105mm f/4L IS, and EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro.

The video below was shot using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II (price & specs), the Canon DSLR that changed the game for videographers. The video, shot by filmmaker Xavier Zimbardo, shows a colourful view of the Holi festival in India (also known as Colours Festival). I feature the video not just because it is beautiful, but also because I’ll soon leave for a 3-months trip thru Asia, starting in India, and to show that you can shot amazing videos also when using older gear. The EF 70-200mm f/2,8L IS and EF 24-105mm f/4L IS lenses were used.
