Canon 7D Wreck Video Test

[allenw1972]

If anyone is interested, I wanted to post this video taken from a Canon EOS 7D SLR camera with Tokina 10-17mm using a Nauticam housing and 35W Salvo HID video light. The camera was set on ISO 1250 due to the poor conditions (low light and poor vis.)

Remember that this was just a trial to see what this camera can do. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

imho Id recommend some open-water vids in the day time to really show the camera's ability.

I agree that day time vids would be much more representative of the typical use for this camera, but I have seen many videos shot in better surface lighting conditions than the video I posted. Most are pretty good. I wanted to showcase this camera's abilities in dark/deep water using artificial lighting. Here is N. Idaho, anything below 70' is dark, and most of our diving is done below that depth.

Thanks much for the comment.
