Oct 2008: Vincent Laforet shows with the first Canon 5D MkII HD video “Reverie” that the world of cinema is about to undergo a revolution: it is now possible to shoot cinema-quality footage with a digital SLR camera. Not with a $25.000 camera, but a $2.500 camera.
The $2500 camera of-course has to be used with lenses, and those who have bought them know: the good ones are not cheap. In the case of a professional like Laforet, he has lenses, really expensive ones (look for the Canon “L” series), and he used pretty much all of them:
