Canon-1d-x-codecs-224x110Dan Chung sat down with Canon's Mike Burnhill to get a look at the video features of the Canon EOS-1D X. Compared to earlier hands-on looks at the camera, this one is much mor focused on the video features we're all wondering about: aliasing, rolling shutter, codec, time code, audio, and HDMI out. Despite the fact that Canon isn't letting footage out of its grasp yet, Dan asks all the pertinent questions, as you'd expect given he's one of the forefathers of HDSLR video. Here's his 15-minute look at the 1D X:


Video shot by Felix Clay and Sam Morgan Moore. You heard it from Dan first: Canon's not giving a clean HDMI output on the 1D X because of "conflict with the video guys" within Canon. However, at least it works out of the box with existing accessories like the Zacuto EVF. Stay tuned for a Canon video camera with a clean HDMI or HD-SDI output on November 3rd...
