   Hey Mike,

   I left a message on youtube as well. I shoot with the 5D Mark II and the 7D and love seeing others comparing them. I was pissed when the 7D came out considering the upgrades it had compared to my 5D Mark II, but felt better after making this video. Would LOVE your feedback! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGFG9UapCFU

   Having both cameras makes for a great camera bag!!

   The PAN and “shutter flutter” is pretty dramatic and a real issue. Have you played with shutter speed to reduce it?

   I’ve used both, and the 7D definitely has a tiny bit less rolling shutter. It also seems to have a tiny bit more noise, but the reason I got it is because it shoots video in real 23.98fps(24p) and 29.97fps(30p)! The (30p) on the 5D is exactly 30fps, not 29.97fps. That’s a massive headache when dealing with mixed footage and/or non sync’d sound.

   just my opinion. =)

   @huber, gruesse aus dem east village! @Alain, yes I think you are right. also was my conclusion.

   I think the reason why the 7D performs better is because of its smaller sensor: it takes less time to scan it from top to bottom.

   hello mike kobal,

   i tested the 7D few days ago in a train through austria.
   i got best results by rotating the camera 90 degrees –
   for most jobs a fine 1080 resolution will do it and there
   was no problem with the rolling shutter. i played with settings
   from 1/30 to 1/4000 and all worked fine.

   best regards
