  • Panasonic HPX170 vs Canon 5D or T2i

    Posted by Rusty Shackleford on March 30, 2010 at 9:08 pm

    I’m looking at HD cams.
    I love the concept of the Canon 5D and T2i.
    But I’ve always had problems with editing H.264 footage.
    Is it the same with the Canon or does having a full frame footage make it easier?

    What else would the HPX have over the Canon (i.e. Jello-effect)?

    I have the HPX and will never look back.. Nothing replaces (yet) the ability to shoot long hours if need be.. Bigger cameras also look better to clients.. I too am planning on a T2i, but more for specialized shoots and such.. Good luck and let me know what you come up with!

    I use the HPX 170 where I work at now. I love it. But for the money, the 7D and T2i look so good.

    I am really interested in the workflow of the DSLR. Bc Ive always considered H264 as a deliverable codec not editable.

    Has anyone compared the footage between these 2 cameras i.e. the Panasonic Hpx170 and Canon 5d? I am looking to purchase a 2nd and 3rd camera for cutaways. Does the footage look close?
