steadiness of the shot is hardly the issue... just check out the video in the link. it's quite visible even in youtube-crap-o-vision. i'm assuming "why not the LS2LS7?"'s term "rolling shutter artifact" is more accurate than i could describe.
the Canon EOS 5D Mark II may be a price bracket higher, but i would say it's a pretty big challenger to a $10k "dedicated HD camera" 3-4 times more expensive (if people can convince Canon to implement 24p ... which some make out to be "just a firmware fix away from reality" (and canon's desire))
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
you could attach some weights to the tripod mount or something to increase the inertia of the camera and counteract a lot of the jitter.
