Depth of fiend of less than 1mm and no ability to focus whilst shooting
just about guarantees disaster with what you suggest.

A biological application might be possible (the action is on a glass slide).

There's a guy on POTN and flickr been posting macro videos, some
with the MPE.

Some more, not necessarily with MPE. Think he uses the 100mm
macro, and not all will be at 1:1, but you get the idea:

Focus by moving the camera, like any other macro situation.

With the reduced resolution of 1080p, the system isn't diffraction
limited at very small apertures (as it would be with a 300 pixel per
inch print viewed close, based on full sensor pixel density) Image
quality should still be okay at f32 if the lens stops down that far.
It might be okay. Then again I haven't seen any amateur video from any
dslr that's been okay (in my opinion) yet. At best, it's been mildly
interesting.

Don't be silly Wilba.
Have you ever seen a macro video where the camera has moved? Not nice
stuff Wilba and just moving the camera isn't going to do much when you
can't see changes in the focus distance of half to one millimetre before
the whole thing is out of focus.

It would take some skill predicting focus. The whole idea of a movie is
that something moves! Using a focusing rail to adjust focus sounds good
in theory... Why don't you try it?

Isn't it better just to shoot with a video camera, than a lumpy still camera
that does poor video?

The fate of the moon in the Holy Quran and science

Science versus fiction of the Quran!

By Magdy Abd AL-Shafy

I would be thankful if you give my article 5 minute of your
value time. THANK YOU

Wrong group, try alt.religion.zealot, or alt.brainwashed

Modern astrophysics , depending on accurate calculations , says that
both the moon and the sun will be joined someday . The Holy Quran , in
reference to the Doomsday , stresses the same fact .

I don't think a Canon 5DmkII in macro video will record this event.

So to record this event, would a CMOS or CCD dSLR be better? Canon or
Nikon??? Or should I break out my old Hasselblad 500 C/M and go for the
greater dynamic range?
