First BBC drama shot on HD DSLR

Conker Media, a subsidiary of Lime Pictures, is shooting BBC teen fiction Shelfstackers on the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. The comedy soap will appear online first then on BBC 2 and is believed to be the first large scale use of a digital SLR camera by a UK broadcaster to date.
