Canon 1D MKIV - Low Light Extraordinaire

Well blow me down and call me Shirly!

If this isn’t the most amazing low light performance I have ever seen from a camera, that isn’t a night vision camera, I don’t know what is. . .

Vincent Laforet, got his grubby mits on a pre-production Canon 1D MKIV and shot this short film, apparently pretty much in the dark on ISO 6400.

To say that the image quality is amazing for being shot at that ISO is an understatement.

Now Vincent’s rise to fame in the film world came on the back of his first foray into the video arena with a short called ‘Reverie’, shot on a pre-production 5D MKII. It went crazy on the web and was extremely well documented, so it’s no wonder that Canon called on him again to wow people with the images from their next major leap forward. And this is a major leap forward.

Check out the video here. . .It’s fittingly called ‘Nocturne’

The short isn’t the most amazing short in the world, but given they only had 48 hours, and got by on the help of friends, I think they did a pretty darn good job. Oh and they didn’t use anything other than available light. . . .once you’ve seen it, you’ll agree it’s unbelievable. . .Spot the noise!

Anyway, enough out of me. . .watch the video. . .

More soon. . .
