Which video do you like better?

[Palting]

I made 2 videos: one with a video camera, one with a DSLR in video mode. Both were left at default settings. My family is divided on which video quality is better, so I thought I'd post both, and have you guys decide.

I guess embedding didn't work

Lets try a direct link
Video camera: Reefpanasonic - YouTube
DSLR: Reef2013.2.8 - YouTube

Okay, so let me know which you think is better, and also let me know how to embed videos in R2R forum. Thanks!!

It's an absolutely stunning tank, you should be very proud.

The first video the colors are more intense, fantastic Green Millepora. The second video highlights the fish more, love the Mandarin.

Overall I like the first better and think both should be 2 min max.

Embedding should be easy I am not familar with the format. Go Advanced is the first step, which icon to choose I do not know I have not played with it.

Thank you for sharing.

Which video tells the truth?

Thanks for the replies and the kind words. I agree they are a bit on the long side.

If what you mean by truth is truth in color and intensity, the first video is pretty much spot on and real in the close ups and macro shots. For the full tank shot, the truth is somewhere in between the pronounced intensity of the first and the washed out look of the second. Both cameras were set to their factory defaults and full auto.
