1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps?

[2strahm4u]

I shoot with a Canon 7d and 60d. I can either shoot at 1080p 30fps or 720p 60fps.Is quality better than slow motion? Or is 720p good enough quality?

Don't tell me to get a GH3 or anything better.

I would say choose what your going to be exporting with; and how necessary the slow-mo is. If your going to be putting it on the web, and exporting it into 720 anyway for a smaller file size, might as well shoot in 720 and be able to shoot more on that card too. Also if the slow motion is really helping your project thats another factor. However, if the extra resolution is worth it to your project, you gotta make the decision, whats worth it to you, and will you be using the gain

720p 60fps is fine quality. that's what I usually shoot skiing with on my 60d

720/60 will work fine, i shoot on a 7d.

 

[BolderPro]

A lot of people use 720/60p for skiing. Because the quality difference when exporting to the internet is slight and the slow mo capabilities will increase the production value. just make sure to keep a high shutter speed.

it really comes down to if you have any desire to use slowmo. the difference between 720 and 1080 is unnoticeable for most people

 

[Forcillo]

That was fucking sick! What lens did you use?

 

[MustBeMattyB]

Tamron 17-50 F 2.8 Non vc

[CrotchKiller]

^ other than the shots when the snow was a little too green, I LOVED what you did with the color in that

 

[MustBeMattyB]

Thanks homie, colors are all straight outta the camera, no post editing. Gotta keep it simple

Awesome video man! Looks very nice. Could you give me some info on your video settings for your DSLR? (ND filter, aperture, shutterspeed?) Thanks man I would really appreciate that! Good Luck shooting some more of these video's!

 

[family_vacation]

meh... your shutter speed should be twice your frame rate. So that means 1/120 or 1/125 if you're shooting 60p.

 

[=nick=]

how in hell do you own a 7D and a 60D and not know the nuances between the two. wow

 

[Lou.]

720 60 just cuz having the ability to do slomo is big

 

[*YungBuckwheat*]

Yeah right now Im making a ski film and use 1080 30 and just dont go as slow in the sm, its fine either way anyway.

 

[2strahm4u]

lol no the difference is super noticeable. The 60d is merely a B camera.
