]]> When the Canon 5D Mark II was released, a lot of people were looking forward to seeing this camera, and mainly the full HD video, being used by journalists. Some even said this would be one of the solutions for the ongoing decline in journalism. I saw the first real footage of a 5D mark II being used by a well-known photojournalist Danfung Dennis yesterday, and I was quite impressed.

The London-based photographer witnessed horrible moments in Afghanistan while being embedded for three weeks with the US Marines. He filmed several encounters with the Taliban. The quality of the footage is of an amazing quality, and a lot of scenes could easily be from another Hollywood blockbuster.

Unfortunately, this footage is real and happening right now.

Check this 24 minute lasting trailer (the documentary will be released on the 13th of october) and see for yourself. The resolution is fairly low though, too bad they don’t offer a full HD version.

To find out more about this documentary, check out FRONTLINE: Obama’s War.
