Low light with 7D?

Just a quick post today. I took my 7D on a clubbing tour this weekend. I was a bit scared as my backpack with all the equipment in it cost me a small fortune. More then my car is worth - that's for sure! But I just could not resit and I knew that I have to be able to take it anywhere without fear. Otherwise what is the point of having it? Next year I intend to make a documentary with it in Sierra Leone, but that's a whole other story that I will write about some time later.

So if you want to know how it records in really low light - check this movie. How bright it was? Think: a pub.



Quite nice isn't it? It was shot with my all favorite lens right now - 17-55mm IS USM 2.8.

But still a pub is not that dark, right? How will it do in a totally dark place - like an underground club dance floor?

Let's see! Same lens. Wide open.



Not bad, right? Of course let's not judge my skills:) Oh! I forgot to mention that I was using Z-finder and Rapid Fire all that time, but a deeper review of this stuff I will post some time later, when my new editing PC will arrive. Right now I have no patience to even render this clips properly. My iMac is pretty old so I does not have enough power to do this.

Cheers.
