Rainy day again in the South of England, picked up my 550D from Park Cameras in Burgess hill. Put the Canon standard L zoom on, popped in a 4GB card (all I had, forgot it doesn’t take CF cards). Battery only half charged in the car, grabbed a standard photo tripod and a umbrella and filmed for 40 mins in the poring rain, WB set on Auto, couldn’t turn it off in the rain. Filmed in 1920×1080 25p and at the end crop mode for a few seconds & kept in native resolution (black bars all around).

All footage filmed at 800 or 1600 ISO. Lens UV guard causing a few internal reflections.

Very light camera and a pleasure to use. I look forward to using tomorrow in the daylight with faster lenses.
