Last call! Canon pulling the HD commercial Reverie at midnight, tonight

Matt Burns

The first high-def footage off the Canon 5D Mark II was a commercial shot by renowned photographer Vincent Laforet. If you haven’t seen the video, it is simply amazing and will certainly be shown at countless camera shops for years to come. Canon has been hosting the raw footage for anyone to download and ‘cording to Laforet’s blog, the traffic is too much for Canon. The sample video will probably be available after today, but if you want the raw footage, you have less than five hours to grab it before it’s pulled at midnight EST, tonight.
