Advantage
Select EOS DSLRs feature 1920 x 1080 Full HD video capture and offer the
enhanced image quality, smooth frame rates and adaptive exposure compensation
necessary in professional movie-making tools. By shooting video with a digital
EOS camera, it's simple to take advantage of the image quality and characteristics
intrinsic to DSLRs, resulting in richer, more detailed and more diverse images.
The large sensor found in EOS DSLRs means more high quality pixels plus the
potential to shoot at higher ISO sensitivities without loss of detail.
