080731-a-9122b-054Here at FreshDV we’ve kept pretty close tabs on two DSLR / HD video convergence cameras since they arrived earlier this year. I’m referring of course to the Nikon D90 and the Canon 5D Mark II. One of the 5D exposure control tutorials that was posted recently was created by Tyler Ginter. Tyler is a US Army 3rd platoon leader in the 55th Combat Camera, responsible for documenting operations with photos and video for internal, news, and historical use.

In this hour-long podcast, Tyler, Kendal and I discuss the tools that Combat Camera is using in the field, the challenges of their unique workflow in Iraq and Afganistan, and specifically why they are looking hard at the Canon 5D MKII as a possible upgrade to their current kit. Along the way we also delve into Red Scarlet, and other convergence cameras. It’s a fascinating discussion, and we think you’ll enjoy the listen if you are interested in this new crop of cameras or just what it is that Combat Camera does. You can see media from Tyler’s group at www.dvidshub.net/units/JCCCI
