Looks great !

Now I want to see more including some full tank views in the video:bounce3:

Nice job on the tank and video !!

Great video. Good job, I just ordered 50D cannon and I think that I should change the order to 7d.....

Definitely, or to the T2i. The T2i is essentially the 7D, but without the autofocus and weatherproofing. The autofocus is worth the extra money if you do a lot of fish photography, but for coral photography there isn't much advantage to the 7D over the T2i (although having it weather sealed is nice when working around the tank).

Cool video! I have to admit, the 7d is actually pretty nice for video. I am a pro video guy and decided to play around with this whole SLR "movement" and bought one. Yes, it doesn't produce the quality as say DVCPRO HD, but it does produce a really nice picture - even better than my Sony Z1U at work. Needs a little tweaking with settings, but overall very nice.

What lens were you using?

I'm using the Canon 100mm macro f2.8L IS USM. I have been very impressed by it so far. The only drawback is that this video is a lot of fun -- I'm going to need to order a couple terabyte drives to store all the video

Nice. I bought mine with the stock canon 18 - 135 and then a Sigma 30 1.4 - debating on a macro...

Go with the L series...the IS is very impressive. Its on sale at B&H right now too.

I will have to check it out - thanks.

Sorry for the thread detour

Very Nice! You definitely need to post more of that footage! With a FTS too!

I reworked the video a bit and added some pans of the tank (handheld, so they could be better). I need to get a quality standard lens before I do the full tank video, so the pans with the macro will have to do for now.
