hmm..

Well Bill, you’re wrong on all counts actually. I was commissioned to shoot video of a band playing live for a dvd release and a journalist in the crowd spotted me on stage, found me afterwards and asked if I could provide any screen grabs for a magazine piece on the show.
It wasn’t a case of taking a few seconds to take stills, it simply wasn’t applicable at the time.

No worries though, your post wasn’t completely redundant as you did go to great lengths to answer my question, so thanks for that at least, otherwise you’d have just come across as extremely patronizing and unhelpful…

Anyway, for future reference, you’re confusing the 5D (which is 12.9 megapixels and doesn’t shoot video) with the 5D mark II (which is 21.1 megapixels and does). Again, no worries though, as it’s an easy mistake to make… similar sounding name and all that.
