I need ideas for a good High definition DSLR camera?
Hey guys
Im looking to buy a brand new Digital SLR camera that takes good High Definition photos AND it has to also be very good at taking High definition videos. Please tell me what you think is best…. The most I am willing to pay is $1,500 but I would prefer to keep it under $1000.
Thanks in advance
As of yet buying a Nikon DSLR for even moderate video use would be insane. The rolling shutter issues are terrible and there is very little manual control. The d3100 does look promising however.
The pentax k-x, while probably a good stills camera, is not well suited for video
In your price range, you are looking at:
Canon Rebel t2i: Great low budget HDSLR. Captures images quite similar to the 7d at a lower price. I own a 7d and purchased it only for video use. It is great. The t2i is very similar with a cheaper plastic construction.
Canon EOS 60d: Probably your best choice. Great images, better than t2i, almost as good as 7d. Has a swiveling lcd monitor which is great for video.
Conclusion: There are a ton of great DSLRs out there, but the Canons FAR surpass the others as far as video is concerned. Canon DSLRs are being used to help shoot large Hollywood productions.
All others are very poor as far as video is concerned, with the exception of the GH1 and soon to be released GH2. These camera from panasonic are quite good for video, but will not take as good of stills as the larger sensored Canons, and will not be very good in low light. Canon is currently the clear frontrunner. Look up Philip Bloom and Vincent LaForet on vimeo to see what these cameras are capable of.
