According to a report posted on dpreview.com, Greg Yaitanes, director of the popular "House" medial drama starring Hugh Lawrie, used a Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR to film the show's season finale.
The camera was used in combination with a range of prime lenses, 24-70mm and 70-200mm lenses to create a shallow depth of field effect. Mr Yaitanes has been quoted as saying he "feels it's the future".
In keeping with this prediction, Panasonic has just announced a camcorder with micro-four thirds lens mount, so the convergence between digital SLR and video camera appears to be well under way.
