Another HD video test using the Pentax K-x in video mode.

Times Square Pentax K-x test from michael leskar on Vimeo.

I am not a master of filming video, but would love to get a little bit more into it. To be able to have a digital SLR camera and an HD video camera in one is really cool. I have to try to shoot some more video and make something creative. In the meantime I was bumming around Vimeo and found a K-x user video group. Check it out here.

All the new entry level digital SLR cameras include the ability to shoot HD video. This opens up an entirely different creative world to digital SLR owners. The nice thing about having a video capable digital SLR is that you can switch the lens whenever you want, opening up your options for what you want to shoot. Tonight I decided to finally go out and test the HD video capability of the Pentax K-x. This is an example of how the Pentax K-x handles at night using the Pentax DA 10-17mm fisheye zoom lens.

I was looking for cool examples of video shot with the Pentax K-x and stumbled upon this. Its beautiful and really shows what you can do with the Pentax K-x in video mode! I am curious as to what lens was used and what sort of post production was done. Enjoy!

Update: I just received a follow up comment from Munn Brothers Productions about their lens and post production equipment. They used an Asahi K-Mount F1.7 lens and used a program called Magic Bullet for post production.

If you are putting a new camera on the market these days, you better include the capability to shoot HD video. Most of the consumer/prosumer digital SLR cameras have the feature to shoot video now, but I was always curious as to what you could actually create while shooting with a digital SLR with a range of lenses. Well Pentax has done that using the K-7, and the DA 10-17mm fisheye, DA* 16-50mm and DA* 60-250mm lenses. The results are really very impressive. Watch them after the jump!
