This is a video that Rob Parker shot and edited in about 20 minutes during the Philadelphia PowerBook User Group (PPUG) meeting in Manayunk. Have you ever seen such a cast of characters?
Speaking on the iPad and other mobile-centric gadgetry were Jason O’Grady, Youngmoo Kim and Bob Snow.
This video was shot on the Canon 7D using an old fully manual Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens. A real beauty. Parker shot on a custom neutral video setting with no correction of any kind done to the final video. What you see is what he saw.
