" I recently bought a canon EOS 500d (Rebel T1i). Just received it two days ago and started some video shootings. I hope, that gives you an impression how nice the quality of the videomode is - and believe me or not - the photoshooting is even better. All scenes have been filmed through a cheap EF 50mm, f1,8 lense. This lense sells for under 100 euro on ebay. I think it is a good starting point for indoor videos.

I choosed the 720p/30fs mode - that gives better results in my opinion than the 1080p mode with 20 f/s.

Come on canon - give us full control over aperture and iso settings and I am just satisfied. Even some cheap bridge cameras already offer that.

The book I am reading is the german "Das Profi-Handbuch zur Canon EOS 500d" book - it contains some good tips and hints for better videos and workarounds for current firmware restrictions.

The music has been recorded on a Radikal Technologies,Inc Spectralis 2 synthesizer straight from the main audio outputs."
