I have two words for the new Canon cameras that shoot photos and HD video: GAME-CHANGER.  I have to admit, I read a lot of information on blogs and web sites praising the camera, but I wasn’t truly sold until I shot with the camera and edited in Final Cut Pro.  Hat tip to Rich Herard who shot this footage and I edited the footage, the lens used was a Canon Zoom Wide Angle-Telephoto EF 24-70mm f/2.8L

One drawback of this is that the editing on my iMac (3.0g GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM) it took about 53 minutes to compress this video.
