High-definition video capture has become commonplace in digital SLRs across the board, all the way from models aimed at amateurs and the budget-conscious to those intended for professional use. The precise feature set on offer varies widely, however, and along with this the utility of video capture for a variety of purposes.



Canon's latest release EOS Rebel SL1 is one of the top picks for the 2013 Spring. It gives the photographer plenty of control over both the video and audio portions of movie capture. The CMOS sensor records high definition video at a maximum resolution of 1,920 x 1,088 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio -- approximating what's sometimes referred to as "Full HD", or 1080i/1080p, although it actually includes 8 extra rows of pixels beyond the standard 1,920 x 1,080. The full resolution can be downsampled in-camera to produce 1,280 x 720 (720p) resolution movies, with the NTSC mode using 59.94 frames/second, and the PAL mode offering 50 frames/second. Finally, a standard definition 4:3 aspect ratio mode captures 640x480 pixel (VGA) movies, again with 59.94 frames/second in NTSC or 50 frames/second in PAL.

The Canon 100D records its movies as .MOV files using variable bitrate MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 compression, which is much more conservative of memory card space. H.264 .mov is very friendly to Mac users, as the format is well-supported by both QuickTime and iTunes. Mac based Editing software iMovie, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro also like the .mov format, but not in H.264 codec. Because of its high data rate (20-30mbps), the Canon EOS Rebel SL1 footage is quite demanding and it’s prone to freeze or crash if your Mac is not so up-to-date.



In order to process Canon EOS Rebel SL1 footage fast and seamless on Mac, it requires that the H.264 .mov videos to be transcoded into an editing friendly format before importing the Rebel SL1 video to non-linear editing apps. This is usually done with a Mac Canon Video Converter.
