Thanks Sinisa . We've got a Canon 500D slr and a couple of lenses. We only use it for still images - no video as of yet.
Last week there was an item in the UK Channel 5 'Gadget Show' that compared a Canon 5D and an IPhone 4 with various attachments for video. Image quality on the 5D was, as you'd probably expect, stunning. One of the attachments for the IPhone was a mount that allows you to attach proper DSLR lenses. Not sure how stable/secure the mount was or indeed if the IPhone was overly front heavy with a lens on it. One funny bit on the program - they attached the 5D to a remote controlled toy helicopter to take some aerial footage of a waterfall. The helicopter crashed in to a ravine . They managed to retrieve it and the footage was still fine (not sure about the 5D though). reason for edit - wrong camera model - we have a 500d not a 550d This post has been edited by tonymiro: Sep 5 2011, 03:03 PM -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Awesome thread! I've used Nikons for many of my recent lessons, but never used Canon. I've heard good things about the Canon EOS line.
The best thing with Nikons and photo cams are lenses. They are BIG, and they point more light onto the chip. This is why they are better than cams. Good lens can cost almost as a body. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I work with indie film makers here in town and I hear them talk about the DSLR vs HDCam issues all the time. It's a big thing in the film production community just now. It's also very DIY which is cool |

From the experience of using Nikons with various lenses for video recording, I found they are a bit impractical. Depth of field, colors and the geometry of a wider lens are really cool, but monitoring, codec, video length limit, focusing while shooting video, not so great. Even the resolution on couple of models was limited to 720p, and all record at 24p rate, which is a bit outdated. And these are still expensive cameras with expensive lenses, there are some very good camcorders with big lenses for that much money.
They are simply devices not adapted to video recording, but offer this possibility as an added feature. We will probably see revolution of this function on future cams tho, who knows, perhaps the integration of these two categories is close? -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I'm convinced I give up
You're right about Canon man. Canon indeed looks very powerful. I haven't had the chance of working with it, but based on the features you wrote, it really offers more on every aspect. Sinisa, it would probably be interesting to check out similar (canons) professional camcorder in the exactly the same price range. What would be the difference there? So, body+lens Canon cam and same price on the pro camcorder. Can we draw a comparison somehow? -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Ah,it's difficult to draw parallels and not be subjective, from my point of view. I would like to mention something: DSLR video is still in its infancy, suffer from a few diseases such as chromatic aberration, rolling shutter effect, things that are unimaginable for a camcorder, auto focus is slow and noisy, practically useless, but, I repeat, these are things that can be eliminated if you are persistent enough in fixing and adjusting !
What is, in my view, the advantage of a DSLR, is the ability to upgrade every aspect of recording, starting with changing lenses, special softwares, the depth of field effects, and so on. I'm talking about the price range of similar cameras in relation to the camcorders,which is below $ 1000. Perhaps Adrian could give us more information because, if I remember correctly, he had HF200 HD Canon camcorder, and went on to EOS DSLR! |
