Problem is, the autofocus DOES NOT WORK in video mode! So, had to focus manually on the crappy focus screen (virtually impossible) the 5dII comes with. Why bother. If I ever decide to shoot video, I'll look into a real video camera. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 2/24/12 6:21 PM, "Sonny Carter" <sonc.hegr at gmail.com> wrote: >I'm not sure I understand why people like that go through the ergonomic >nightmare to make a DSLR into a video camera.
